How can you definitively show Gus being gay without detracting from the plot? I mean don't get me wrong, I have zero issues with a gay character, but for them to be out of character or do something unrealistic just to show they're gay is dumb. I mean did you want him to be holding hands with the cook who got shot? Unprofessional. Did you want to see Walt spying on him and his boyfriend? More believable, but still I like Gus being more mysterious.

No, I have no problem with how it was handled on the show. It's not like I needed to see them making out before their meeting.I'm taking about when directly asked about it, Gilligan didn't want to answer and said people can take it however they want. And I just feel like that happens a lot with shows and movies lately. There's nothing wrong with being explicit. He's not always guilty of what I'm accusing though, I do remember him flat out saying there was no cliffhanger when Jesse shot Gale.Again, it's a small detail and I couldn't care less if he was gay or not. I guess I'll stop talking about it so people don't think I'm pissed off every episode they don't confirm he's a homosexual.

Oh, gotcha, yeah I misread what you first said.Still, maybe they haven't decided yet?
9/12/2011 4:51:21 PM
perhapsI wonder if they spend as much time figuring out what to feed Walt Jr. for breakfast. It's my personal interpretation that he likes cereal the best.
9/12/2011 4:55:43 PM
Are you kidding me? He obviously likes pancakes better.
9/12/2011 4:59:17 PM
he has been a ghost this season, save for maybe 2 episodes
9/12/2011 5:16:46 PM
Also great news...the 1st 3 seasons of breaking bad is now available on Netflix Streaming!
9/14/2011 12:05:21 AM
This show...cannot miss right now.
9/18/2011 11:03:28 PM
Awesome episode.Thought I saw Gus staring at Jesse's dick in one scene though...
9/18/2011 11:53:11 PM
I might need to catch up on my breaking bad seasons. I stopped at 2.
9/19/2011 12:55:06 AM
might

Just bumping this again as I thought about how badass last night's episode was. Epic.
9/19/2011 8:51:54 AM
Holy Shit, awesome episode.
9/19/2011 11:50:41 AM
Bweez, I'm behind on my TV watching but Breaking Bad is on my list to watch. There's just not enough time to watch all the content.
9/19/2011 12:35:50 PM
Last night was sensational.
9/19/2011 12:37:59 PM
^^ you should be watching Breaking Bad first
9/19/2011 12:41:46 PM
Yeah, episode ruled. Such a risky play by Gus. Nice to see Jr. finally being given something to do and delivering.
9/19/2011 12:47:26 PM
wonder what will come of Walt calling Jr. "Jesse" in his groggy state of mindand I assume the cessna-esque plane pilot was Cartel (so how do they leave Mexico now), but I doubt Gus/Mike wouldn't have thought of an escape plan[Edited on September 19, 2011 at 1:28 PM. Reason : ...]
9/19/2011 1:18:56 PM
I thought he was going to ask Hank about it
9/19/2011 1:20:26 PM
Currently on a comedy sitcom run that I need to finish before I get into anything serious like this drama show. I also got madmen to sit through.
9/19/2011 1:21:46 PM
Better than Mad Men
9/19/2011 2:01:50 PM
^ I like whichever one is currently airing at the time more
9/19/2011 2:03:21 PM
I think Mad Men is the best show on television, juuuust slightly. Breaking Bad is a very, very close #2. And Boardwalk Empire is a close #3 IMO, although that last one is probably more debatable.Anyone think Gus and/or Mike are gonna die? I thought it was very interesting how perfect of an opportunity Jesse had to kill them and/or let them die, and he STILL didn't, and in fact seems to be trying to save their lives.[Edited on September 19, 2011 at 2:10 PM. Reason : s]
9/19/2011 2:06:28 PM
they are proud of him why would he kill them. when they half smiled as he was taking control of the cooking situation from that dick chemist my heart fluttered.mad men is too douchey imo. you can write subtextual dialog, we get it.
9/19/2011 2:17:09 PM
Gus and Mike are Jesse's only way out of Mexico, but also he has no one other than them now (in his mind at least), since the Walt fight
9/19/2011 2:29:44 PM
^, ^^ Agreed about the Jesse situation. I think he's in their corner now.
9/19/2011 2:31:07 PM
Jesse's dog-like loyalty is what Gus loves. now, after he saved Gus and Mike outside the house, i would think his life and future are safe with Gus for a while.The scene with Jesse yelling at the chemist was fantastic.
9/19/2011 6:49:37 PM
fantastic episode. Gus is such a fucking badass.
9/19/2011 8:20:50 PM
the chemist was (Miles?) in 24 ... Chloe's ex-husband/boyfriend whoever
9/19/2011 9:35:35 PM
Morris I believe.
9/20/2011 10:25:49 AM
I recognized him as Papa JoeI'll have a coke.
9/20/2011 10:30:23 AM
this show is still awesome. that wasn't the season finale was it? how many episodes are left this season?
9/21/2011 8:40:43 AM
2 or 3, I think
9/21/2011 8:48:13 AM
3
9/21/2011 2:34:32 PM
it's gone by so fast
9/21/2011 5:10:29 PM
just watched season 1-2 today. onto 3!
9/22/2011 12:37:41 PM
Holy shit.
9/25/2011 11:07:52 PM
9/25/2011 11:17:01 PM
no clue how they can squeeze 18 more episodes out of this show but holy fuck
9/25/2011 11:27:12 PM
9/25/2011 11:31:38 PM
wow.i have no idea how they keep topping themselves this season, but they keep doing it.
9/26/2011 12:10:29 AM
he was like the Joker at the end there
9/26/2011 12:40:53 AM
Skyler's horrified O face was horrifying...[Edited on September 26, 2011 at 1:40 AM. Reason : ly ugly]
9/26/2011 1:40:21 AM
This is one of the best seasons of tv i've ever seen minus the dude tripping on the carpetI'm Krallum and i approved this message.
9/26/2011 2:11:20 AM
^Ha, I actually kind of liked the randomness of Ted's death. Fit in with the episode, since everything is spiralling completely out of Walt's control. That last Hitchcock-esque shot of Walt was pretty damn amazing and memorable.
9/26/2011 6:18:55 AM
Dead?Seemed ambiguous to me.
9/26/2011 6:54:54 AM
I like the little foreshadowing of him tripping on the carpet in the beginning of the show. Was not expecting that "act of god". lol
9/26/2011 7:18:14 AM
^^Yeah, I thought it was unclear at first, too. Then I read Sepinwall and he alluded to Ted's death, so I assumed I was just reading that part of the episode wrong. But, you're right, they never came out and SAID that he died; could just have a broken neck or something.
9/26/2011 7:50:12 AM
This episode really impressed me as well. I really can't wait until next week.
