Walt has hair! On his head! He looks so different, dressed in casual, slightly dirty clothes, unkempt beard, no wedding ring and black-framed glasses. He shows the chatty diner waitress a fake ID to get a free , greasy birthday breakfast (and to shut her up). New Hampshire, she remarks, is a long way away. He says hes driven for about 30 hours; its not clear what state he is in or how much time has passed since the end of season 4. He exchanges cash for keys with a dude in the washroom, pops a pill, leaves a $100 tip for the waitress and heads to the parking lot. The keys were for a car that has a serious gun in the trunk, along with instructions (I dont know anything about guns, but it looks serious).
Flashback to post-nursing home explosion, and Walt is frantically getting rid of the bomb-making ingredients and Lily of the Valley plant. Walt Jr. tells Walt the DEA narrative while Skylers all breathy and ooooh what did you do Walt
? Skylers now more frightened of her husband than the faceless drug trade. In an attempt to keep his family safe, he has terrified his wife.
Hank is touring the burned-out superlab. Hes on a freaking roll, and is the only one who notices the camera. Is the DEA incompetent or is Hank particularly brilliant? Hes also tense and quiet; even his partner remarks how he hasnt thrown out an I told you so. Hank is past the point of caring if hes right; hes intent on finding every piece of the puzzle. Even with Gus dead, Heisenberg still lingers.
Mike is feeding chickens in the (Mexican?) desert. Hes told Gus is dead and races back to New Mexico and runs into Walt and Jesse on a dirt road. Mike goes to shoot Walt and Jesse intervenes; Mike screams that they dont know what theyve done. Walt and Jesse are super tight right now; killing Gale estranged them, but killing Gus has bonded them. They implore Mike to find the superlab camera hard drive. Mike discovers that the laptop holding all the camera evidence is locked away in an evidence room.

(426 posts)Watched episode 1 of Season 5 on AMC. com this morning. Thanks to DISH, I can no longer get that channel. But, kudos to AMC for making the episodes available on line.
Best line in the show was Jesse: "Yeah bitch, magnets!" I want that on a T-Shirt!

(27,677 posts)It's an M60.
Ammo seems to be 4 Ball M-80 with M-62 Tracers in M-13 links. (One round in five is a tracer.)
ETA:
Magnets FTW!

(5,909 posts)Jesse still calls Walt "Mr. White." I think it's great. What sucks is my husband and I recorded all of the previous seasons when AMC was running the marathon (thanks to a heads up by pokerfan) so we would watch about 4 episodes a night before going to bed, and were all caught up by the 15th.
Now we have to wait a week for the next one. Torture!

(4,073 posts)a gun like that could take out the headquarters of a drug cartel.
Maybe Walt has something like that in mind.
