co-sign. Prison Break and Heroes are those shows that had one good season and completey turned to ***. Breaking bad is the only drama ive seen that arguably gets better every season. Only other show like that is curb your enthusiasm and that ones a comedy.

Mild spoilers but if you saw the promo for next week's episode (not the Walt breakfast one but the 'on the next episode of Breaking Bad one'), this may clarify a few things:
- Ron Forenall is the only person or thing on this chart that we haven't seen before (besides the rest of Fring's crew)
- The two dead bodies in the lab were the two guys Walt killed in S4E13 while saving Jesse, and there bodies became unidentifiable to the DEA because of the fire.

^^You would think Victor and the two guys killed in the lab by Walt had secret bank accounts too so I think they're probably three of the ??? names on Fring's Crew. Plus the two guys that were killed by the cartel in the Pollos truck. Then I remember another henchman getting killed by the cartel before the Gus Come At Me Bro scene

Now wait right there. Heroes did DROP THE **** OFF in it's second season but the 2nd season of PB wasn't that bad. The whole wanted fugitives being chased by this crooked FBI agent being ordered around by this mysterious evil organization was pretty good it just dropped off on the methodical and psychological as well as how things flowed in the 1st season. After that though

Nah, them dudes were just glorified henchmen and body guards. No way Victor had a secret bank account. I mean look expendable he was. He was getting paid in cash. I believe those guys were just dudes Mike vetted and hired. I think, if not him some guys Gus picked out. The Fring crew are all integral parts in how the product got moved along with money and how the whole op got supported I believe.

Just read the craziest theory of Breaking Bad on Reddit, it mostly has to do with Season 4 but I'll put the link in the spoiler tags just in case:

Elliot? But he still had ownership or whatever, so why fall to being a high school teacher and working part time at car wash?

Yea like Walt's Pride would allow him to continue to work with him. His pride wouldn't even let him take his money to save his life.
Walt's Pride is his downfall.

But those birds were hella intriguing. His theory is a bit radical but for some reason, it kinda makes sense.

You may notice Walter is standing straighter. At the beginning of the show I wanted him to have a posture that was slumped and shlubby, the weight of the world was on his shoulders. Now that weight is off, and he's wearing the crown, and you need to have good posture, with your shoulders back, you have to stand up straight when you're wearing the crown -- otherwise it will fall off.

I only started watching this show last week.
I watched all 4 seasons and episodes 1-3 of season 5 in 1.5 weeks.
I was so happy when Walt smashed again.

on the issue of the cold open from the series premiere
my brother stated the fact that on the pilot, when walt finds out he has cancer , walt states he will only live a couple (2) more years..
well its his 52nd birthday and maybe his time is running out.
any theory is possible
but
the whole walt defeating cancer and still continuing to sell meth theory would be

20 Neat Facts, Cool Allusions, Instances Of Foreshadowing, And Theories On ‘Breaking Bad’
http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2012/08/breaking-bad-allusions/
The speculation and theory about the color pink was really interesting and I won't be surprised if it happens.
No spoilers in that link, just things already foreshadowed and a couple theories.

Just...wow.
If you aren't caught up with at least the first four seasons of BrBa, don't read this because it's all spoilers. So yes, I am convinced that Gustavo Fring has, or at least had, magical powers. He is the grim reaper, and Walt is the Antichrist. Note that I do not think either character is conscious of these roles, but Gus is very conscious of his telepathy. He simply doesn't understand where it comes from. This is a complicated theory that I only managed to come up with after watching all four seasons four to five times. Because of this, it has become a pretty long post, but I really hope you give it a chance and read to the end. I can explain most of the telepathy part with stills from the final two episodes of season four. The rest will have to do with a good long explanation. I know that some people will come into this thread expecting to slam me on account of how realistic BrBa is, so I'd like to start by mentioning that Vince Gilligan has stated that the BrBa universe works on a Christian karma system with God being a major (if unseen) character. Thus, magic being part of the show shouldn't come as a shock.
Before I discuss season four (and bear with me for a while here), we all remember the Fly episode from season three. How Walt desperately tried to kill a fly that was zooming around the lab, and at parts seemingly toying with him. The fly can easily be viewed as a metaphor for Gus for a multitude of reasons, but even more specifically I believe that this fly is Gus. Remember the very last scene in the episode -- Walt is lying in bed after he and Jesse successfully killed the fly in the lab. But while he's staring up at the ceiling, he sees the fly reappear on the red light of his smoke detector, and then watches it fly down right in front of him, toying with him as the other fly did in the lab.
It is my belief that Gus is constantly watching over Walt in this "fly on the wall" form, since he cannot blatantly put cameras in Walt's house. I also understand that at this instance in my post, nobody in their right mind would believe me. I feel that this will change within the next five paragraphs.
I'm sure you all will remember the final scene of S04E12 End Times (remember that title), when Walt is waiting for Gus to walk to his car so that he can blow the chicken man to smithereens. Yet, seemingly out of the blue, Gus stands around for a bit before walking away from the scene entirely. When Gus stops to look around, some of you may remember the bird that flies past Walt. Walt says frantically, "Why did you stop?" while watching the bird through his binoculars. After Gus walks away, the episode ends.
The next episode starts with Walt undoing the bomb under Gus's car and then going straight to the hospital to speak with Jesse about what just took place. Confused and frustrated, Walt asks Jesse, "What, does he have some kind of sixth sense?!" Right as he is saying that line (and I seriously doubt that anyone else in the world noticed this) a bird flies right over his and Jesse's heads out the window. Keep in mind that bird is flying upwards at a NE angle (in terms of frame), so it comes into view as Walt starts his line, and goes out of view as Walt ends his line.
However, these are not the only two times we see a bird within these two final episodes of season four. A few of you may have also caught the bird flying around Gomez as he talks his way into snooping around the laundry for what he calls heroin. If Gus has telepathy with animals, he would definitely want to use the ability to check out Gomez. And yes, the first time the bird is seen flying behind him, Gomez is caught saying, "This chef's daddy is a United States senator." We know he is busy making up a story on the fly in order to trick the manager, but what he is saying very much mirrors Gus. Walt being the "chef" or meth cook and Gus being the "daddy" or boss. We're aware of Gus possibly having some high position in Chile because of what Don Eladio hinted at the first time they met, but I believe he also serves a high position under God, that being the position of grim reaper.
Now you may believe me or you may be thinking that all of this is impossible in the realistic world of BrBa. But remember that the 12th episode of season four is called End Times, and in Christian faith some believe End Times refers to when the Antichrist will take over the role of grim reaper and all will die at his new-found power. For those of you who have been caught up with the first three episodes of season five, you know that Walt has now taken over Gus's role of kingpin after successfully killing him. Walt is now also trying to mirror Gus's behaviors and is very eery in his new ways of doing so. If Gus was the grim reaper and Walt killed him, Walt must be the Antichrist.
To quote theopedia, "The most common interpretations continue to be that the Antichrist will be some sort of high-ranking leader, who will initially do very good, popular things, which will win him many followers. In the end, however he is supposed to get increasingly totalitarian and elicit more and more sacrifices from his followers until eventually his evil ways become known, and the era of "trials and tribulations" begins."
Sounds a lot like Walt, doesn't it? If this has been at all confusing, feel free to ask questions. I'm not at all a wiz on Christian faith, as I was not raised Christian, so also feel free to share your own findings. Here are all three of the bird images in order of appearance.
edit: Also keep in mind that Vince Gilligan described the phrase "Breaking Bad" as meaning "raising hell." Also, Walt's full name is Walter H. White.
edit:: From theopedia, "The Seventh Seal uses the spectre of death to refer obliquely to the prophesies of the End Times and the role of the Antichrist as the Grim Reaper." I'm not saying anything about The Seventh Seal (film), I'm simply showing that the connection between the Antichrist and the grim reaper has been around before Breaking Bad, and is not just something I made up. Walt has now taken over Gus's role of kingpin after killing him. And that's where all of this fits in.
