Welcome to the mid-season wrap of for season five of Breaking Bad!  In this we turn the podcast over to you, the listener.  After a few show notes and news discussion, we discuss your takes, insights, and speculations, and dish a bit of our own in between.

A few things we discuss in our show that we wanted to put in our notes, first fellow fan Andrew Zimmerman’s has submitted some new theme music that’s totally awesome, and also banging.  Check it out at the end of our cast and let us know if we should add it to our pre-show rotation!  Finally, we mention one of the best ways to get introduced to The Walking Dead, our next podcast project, is by watching the Apocalypse Fan Edit version that, much like a George Foreman grill, cuts out the fat leaving the juicy succulent meat for your enjoyment.  Note that to ethically enjoy the Apocalypse Fan Edit, you must have a license to the original media, either on DVD, Bluray, or perhaps iTunes subscription.

See you next year, or hopefully in October for the Watching Dead!

GLIDING o’er all, through all,
Through Internet, Time, and Space,
As a shit in the master bath advancing,
The voyage of the bowl–not Hank’s alone,
Gale, many meths I’ll sing.

-Jim Jonesman

An unusual poem for an unusual podcast.  A.Ron’s in Seattle and I’m left to run the studio myself.  Unfortunately, I’m like Jesse on his first cook, fumbling with the controls, shouting “Yo, bitch!” into the air, getting Fun-Yuns dust and chili powder everywhere.  And so we resort to the backup recording devices.  A.Ron had a flight to catch so we chat for a little over an hour about our takes and some corrections from last episode and decide to save the feedback until the season 5.1 wrapup podcast next week.  Join us!

Tonight we mark the passing of one of the all time great television characters.  The question remaining is how many iconic characters will we see go before this tragedy is all said and done?  Will this really be an “everybody dies” situation?  Can we hold out hope for Walt, Jesse, Skyler, Jr., Holly, Hank, Marie, or Saul?  Only time will tell.  Join us in our coverage of the penultimate episode of this mini-season of Breaking Bad, as we discuss the late, great Mantrout and his dead mackerel eyes, Skyler checking out, Jesse calling bullshit, meth pops, dirty DEA bosses, Gomey’s Look, Walt’s crocodile tears, and Walt’s newest lab assistant, little Ricky Hitler.

In this week’s episode, we have a bit of purely speculative (read: most likely bullshit) news on the future of Breaking Bad after the final season concludes, as well as new theme music courtesy some friends of ours in Germany (see bottom of show notes for more details)!  We then do our customary recap, where we discuss the greatest cold open in Breaking Bad history, Todd’s new pet, Gomez as the worst field agent in DEA history, the anti-christ’s methylamine, the most uncomfortable dinner scene this side of Star Trek VI, Mike’s restraint half-measure, and Walt’s sublimely smug, punch-able face.  All this and your feedback and a BOMBSHELL spoiler segment.  DO NOT LISTEN UNLESS YOU WANT TO POTENTIALLY SPOIL THE END OF THIS SEASON!
