Just confirms my feelings about losing their grip on being able to wrap this up correctly. Walter not acting like walter at all and just racing out to the desert like a fool, falling right into jesses trap.

what? That is EXACTLY walt, wildly overreacting to things and panicking constantly. He does have smart moments, but only when he has time to plan ahead (Gus bomb) but usually he is really shitty with his reactionary, spontaneous plans.

That said, the nazis shooting like Imperial Stormtroopers was dumb. Hanks call to Marie was a little over the top "omg Hank is gonna die!" foreshadowing too. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Hank is gonna get away with Pinkman in Walts car and Gomie is gonna die (RIP GOMIE) but I still am not sure how its all gonna connect to Walt coming back with an M-80 gun or Heisenberg spray painted on his walls. I am holding out hope for the mexican cartel, because the Nazis are pretty weak so far.

idk, automatic weapons are wildly inaccurate. I think the gunfight was shot badly, they stood there in he open for too long, but missing is believable. The real question is how the fuck did Gomie miss with that shottie?

Great episode and even great leadup to the fight but HORRIBLE shooting to the point of making the entire thing seem like a joke. I mean, no one hit at all in the part we saw? Even with some of them just hiding behind car doors and glass windows?

Uggh, what a silly way to end an episode.

Should have ended the episode with either tense standoff or the shootout just beginning.

The whole scene with Huell, I was thinking to myself "how the fuck does this not cause a mistrial?". Huell's testimony would have to corroborate how they found the money unless everyone is just going to believe they dug in that exact spot. After they handcuffed Walt, Hank said he was going to book him. I'm not a police officer, but can you charge and lock up someone for a crime you have no evidence for? They hadn't found the money yet, why book him prematurely? I'm guessing this is why Hank or Gomie didn't show their badges? Sure seemed like an easy way to avoid getting shot at.

This episode, while awesome, was kinda sloppy with the writing to keep the plot moving forward.

You think the Nazis actually wanted verification that they were law enforcement? No way in hell. Like they give a shit one way or another.

Walt confessed to several crimes while on the phone with Jesse.

Then why even ask? If they're willing to gun down a DEA branch manager(idfk his real title), just show up and shoot. Even more so, they noticed Jesse in Walt's car, that should have sealed it right then and there. I think they were genuine in caring if they were cops.


Rengak, does that count as evidence? Walt was under extreme duress and coercion(they faked burning his money), can that still be submitted as evidence? I'm going to assume tracking his car and/or cell phone without a warrant is illegal too. Seriously, how the fuck his Hank going to actually bring Walt to trial with just the stuff he's done in this episode?

Rifles vs a handgun and a shotgun is no contest. Aiming down the sites with a rifle, automatic or otherwise, no way that misses at 30 yards. They'd be dead before they got behind the truck. I mean, this is the same team that took down the meth lab a few weeks ago with surgical precision in 30 seconds.

Yeah, you're high. The nazis dont give a fuck how many cops they kill. They're Nazis who cook meth and assassinate people and shit. They wanted them to drop their guard a bit for a cleaner shot.

Nope, they were hoping one of the cops would put their gun down.

Exactly, you would at least not aim as well reaching or holding a badge.

After the last fire fight hank was in against automatic weapons you would think he would have hit the range at least a few more times. Hank can't hit shit...

How many cops has it been shown that these Nazis have killed? Killing police is whole different thing than killing the people they have been shown to kill. Great way to bring a whole ton of attention down on your new meth operation. You could be right though, they might have wanted one of them to lower their guns when they already outnumber them 3:1 and have body armor.

The alternative being they see the badge and say "oh sorry officers, pay no attention to Walt screaming my name and saying it's off, we just took a wrong turn and drew down on you. Carry on with your day sirs!"

Come on...

the precision hit the nazis did was planned. this was last second with hank and gomee seeing them come in. they also came for walt, either to kill him or take him away so he could cook meth for them. these 2 events are apples and oranges, so no need to compare them

Nevermind, just watched it again. Still seems pretty dumb to kill some cops(do they know Hank is DEA?) in their situation. Which goes along with everything else in this episode: the writing was sloppy in order to move the plot forward.

Yeah that's about as plausible as the lot of them not getting one lick in on Hank or Gomez!

Why? They're in the middle of the desert, and it isn't as if they haven't killed dozens of people already, maaybe some police, who knows? Not killing the cops in that situation is what doesn't make sense, to me. I'm just some IT guy and I see that. They killed 11 people in prison in a 2 minute window, at least one of which was a government witness. I really don't see where the ambiguity comes into it. Kill DEA agents = get away now. Don't kill DEA agents = go to jail.
