It’s amateur hour in the meth lab, with the bosses going masks-free, not-Matt Damon only achieving 76% purity, and a clear lack of a blue tint in the product. Lydia is not pleased. The meth must be blue. Not-Matt Damon’s phone rings (nice “She Blinded Me With Science” ringtone, nerd). It’s Walt calling about the job he might have for his uncle. There’s just one target. Jesse Pinkman. Continue reading

The final season begins with a flash forwards. A newly-bearded Walt arrives at his former home, which has long since been abandoned. Someone spray painted “Heisenberg” on the living room wall, and bugs inhabit Skylar’s once-clean kitchen countertops, and kids are skateboarding in an empty pool. Walt retrieves a small vial from behind an outlet cover in the bedroom that I assume contains ricin. On his way back to the car, he sees his neighbor. “Hello, Carol.” Continue reading
