Q. What do Season 3, Real Estate, Crystal Meth and a 3 piece takeout Chicken dinner have in common?
A. Location, Location, Location. - I have a Theory regarding next Season, it has all 4 elements listed above. Here goes, this last Season 2, Hank received reports from some DEA Field Agents in neighboring Southwestern States (Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado) about the Blue Meth turning up in some of their cities. I have a feeling Hank will be sent on some road trips to visit and do some Liaison work with some of these Fellow DEA Field Agents. Along the way, Hank will be put in the local Best Western Hotel or a Budget Inn during some of these stops, after a full days Liaison work, Hank drops into a local Pollos Hermanos for some of that tasty Golden Bird. At this point Hank is just thinking about something to eat and then hitting the rake, before he travels onto his next destination the next morning. Now what are the chances that Hank will run into a Pollos Hermanos at his next destination on his work related road trip? Will Hank think there is any significance to this or is it just a coincidence? Might Hank have a chance encounter with Gus along his travels or at one of these Pollos Hermanos? This has got me wondering, how about you?

I thought the answer was, they are all edible except the real estate.
or.. you can buy them all at pollos hermanos.
Just ask for Gus..
Silent - Actually where I'm trying to take this is out of Abq. Think of an old fashion Wagon Wheel, the kind with spokes. Abq is the hub of that Wheel and the spokes shoot out in a 360 degree pattern. Each spoke ends at a definite location. In this case a large urban center/ city. like Phoenix, Vegas, Reno, Salt Lake City and so on. These locations are where the Blue Meth has been reported. We Know that Gus has several Chicken franchises located outside of New Mexico in neighboring Southwestern States, along with one location smack dab in the Abq.
True.. Maybe they had the foresight that the story was going to branch out.
It could stay centered around ABQ, but have other characters from different city's incorperated into the main story. Then this way they could have some upperclass spoiled kids from somewhere in the mid-west, who get into smoking crystal.. then they could have some Cartel from another place.. and so on.. And then they show how all these stories tie into the main story with Walt and Jessie.
Ah Grasshopper, those are some interesting idea's, but I'm trying to find a way to get Hank on the trail of the Meth source. Hank's boss once called him a Great White Shark, because he would travel miles to find his prey. Maybe instead Hank is a Blood Hound and will have to travel to another location outside of Abq to get to get information (Pick up the scent) and then follow the trail back to the source. Are you following me here?
Hank's going to get the ricin burrito from Gus ..
It was a clue for next season at Tio's
zia - I like it, working that tainted Carne Asada Burrrito angle from Tio, excellent... If memory suvres me there is or was a chain of TGIF like places called Tio Leo's, kind of an Happy hour place out here in California.
Hank isn't a Great White Shark, he is a Pit Bull..
He isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has a mean bite.
Dear R.W. I recognize your aaack cat avatar. Which cartoon or comic is it located?
Oh yah!! I recognize Bill the Cat! I love Berk Breathed! I've actually met him! I also am the proud owner of #66 Bipsie prints from his Flawed Dogs book autographed to me. He only signed 500. Now you all may ask where I got this? I know many people here are into comic con. Well there is a better show to be at than that. This show tells comiccon what to be.

Everyone who's everyone in the publishing world is there. Its been a couple of years since I attended. Its not open to the public perse. One has to work in a bookstore, library,or writing something. Its amazing. And I know you folks here are like me, a collector of the written word, you're socks will be knocked off. Also the pounds of books that you will have to carry are in the 500dreds. They just started opening it up to the public on Sunday. Will cost you 30 to 50 bux to get in. Beyond worth it. You will walk out with galley's, which are worth more than 1st editions in many circles. If you're trying to promote you're own book, screenplay whathaveyou. a booth costs like 500 bux. No matter what you walk home with a couple hundred books, bags, prints,movies. Your shoulder's and knees will ache, but you will persevere, cause you have no choice! You'll only want more! MORE!MORE!MORE!

Will Hank think there is any significance to this or is it just a coincidence?
he's stuffin' his face ;).. think?....lol
Dear Zia,
Thinken,thinken thinking. Could it be that Hank doesn't think, with the exception of what he's stuffing his face with? Could it be that Hank thinks in his subliminal brain parts too much? Ergo stuffing his cognizant forhead with too much info, and just wants to get Marie to tie him up and whip him out of it with her special toys proper? Yipe's!
All of the BB new stuff to look forward too. Hmm...
:}
Okay, this site is supposed to be about predictions for Season 3. Although I'm usually very good at guessing the scene by scene developments of feature films (I was trained by Syd Field in Los Angeles in 1984), Vince Gilligan has only been predictable twice in twenty episodes. So, you could take these as more like suggestions because I'm not batting a thousand.
1. Skyler comes out big in a marriage crisis story arc. Anna Gunn finally gets enough film time to shine as an actress and maybe gets tapped for an emmy next year. She orders Walt out of his own house right before Jane's dad drops two airplanes on it. Where does he go? Well, Carmen (the stunning school principal) thinks highly of him and she did say, "You can come talk to me about anything" in a breathless, "oh, I hope you dooooo" manner. And what did criminal lawyer Saul say about big money? You spend it on a moll - a gangster's girlfriend. Hmmm. Carmen might not be a perfect fit for that stereotype but Walt's got the benjamins to impress her a little in his own subdued and inhibited, shy-boy way. Who knows? Carmen could be lonely and need some attention from some man whom she respects. Skyler cut Walt off a long time ago and Walt's aching loins may need some exercise in a warm dark place. Then what does Skyler do? Stay busy trying to divorce Walt while chasing Ted (Mr. Sensuous Happy Birthday Boy)? OR get jealous and fight for Walt while keeping Ted on the side? Hey! It may sound like a mini-soap opera but there's so much conflict possible that it could really pepper up the storyline.
2. Walt! Hmmmm. Let's see, he's bored with the suburban scenery and is supposed to be packing because the little woman wants to throw him out. Then two planes fall out of the sky. Does he grab the money and run before the cops and ATSB goons in Hazmat suits show up or does he stick it out in suburbia. Naaahh! He's splitsville, Daddy-o! He might not know where he's going but it's somewhere with some action. He knows he's been given a stay of execution from the lung cancer and not a pardon. Time's a wasting. So, first a talk with Saul (no telling what that shyster will say, but it'll be interesting). Then a visit to Jesse (I'm only guessing at Jesse's development but he's really masochistic right now with the biggest "KICK ME" sign in the world pinned to him). And then where? Maybe he goes back to school and notices Carmen. Maybe he goes to visit his mother and we meet the monster that warped Walt into a life filled with fear. Maybe he gets a visit from Gus. I think this is a definite!
3. Gus will burn through the 38 pounds of Blue Sky and want more, but he's going to do it in his own unique way (Oh, Vince, make it a surprise!). Gus needs to get more dope and he needs to find out Walt's true relationship with Hank and the DEA. He might send some thugs to beat it out of Walt, but I don't think so. For one, it wouldn't work and two it's much too overt for Gus so forget the Tom Cruise phony action hero crap with Meth-ninjas. Here's a twist for you. Gus's boys don't do dope. Walt's primary problem is Jesse's addiction. How does Walt convince Gus to "cure" Jesse and make him a straight arrow, in-it-to-win-it, gangster?
4. Jesse is never going to become a cold-blooded killer, but I could see him getting the job done then going home to grieve for Jane. Also, he might be mad enough to find a way to take back his old territory and get his street cred. Look for something he can do without killing. Maybe lead-pipe treatments for everyone dealing in the South Valley. I've love to hear him tell some knee-capped skank, "I'm not going to let you die! You listening, bitch! I'm not going to kill you. You can't feel pain if you're dead."
5. Marie is going to continue to abuse Hank while heaping sympathy and support on Skyler, at the same time talking trash about her crazy sister who "Screams at us to help save him from cancer just so she can throw him away like a bag of garbage." Marie is making baby steps toward recovery from her kleptomania and yet, she'll continue to steal. Skyler's affair or attempted affair with Ted will continue, and when Skyler tries to go righteous on her over Marie's stealing, expect a fight about adultery. Hank will be the only stable character in the whole of Season 3. Expect him to get stuck carrying the water for both women.
Bonus question:
Skyler was looking at an old photo of her in the lap of a handsome young man who wasn't Walt nor Ted nor Elliot. Why did she marry Walt if she had a better prospect? Or is Walter Jr. really Walt's son?
Extra credit:
If Skyler pushes for a divorce and Flynn (Walter Jr.) objects, does she admit to him that Walt's not really his father and risk emotional trauma just to win (she'd do it, you know!)? Also, what if Flynn rejects his mother and goes to live with Walt even if he isn't his real father? Every criminal needs a good wheelman even if the dude uses crutches.
Well, here's plenty of targets. Start shooting holes in them.
WalkerColt
Hey Walkercolt, I'm not even going to try and dissect your idea's. I will however say that I like your No. 5 scenario with Marie. That Bitch is Crazy, that I fully expect her to go off the reservation in Season 3 and catch everybody off guard. Her Character is just too Insane.
Oh, RW, you've got to cut up some that sacred cow up there! Call it "crap on a nose-spoon" or a "bong full of pooh". But in all humility, Vince Gilligan has me stumped bad. I noticed that Walt didn't have to kill anyone in the whole of Season 2, but eventually he will have to choose either to be Mr. Nice-guy or go to the "Dark Side". If Walt ever cuts loose as a "Sith Lord" with his big brain and nothing to lose, ... Imagine a garbage bag with rattlesnakes and Walt flips it over an adversary's head with a little duct tape around the neck... Heisenberg is back, baby!
WalkerColt, You rock!!! Star Wars, Krishna, Indiana Jones, Pot, Blow, Duct Tape and Hiesenberg! All in 6 sentences. Impressive baby!
Tweeds
Walkercolt, I think Walt will not off anyone, unless he has no other choice. Walt is not a natural born Killer, like say Tuco. Walter White is more of the incidental voyager, setting a true course, but somehow the rudder gets stuck and he and Jesse end up going in a big circle, like a dog chasing its own Tail. You see this bubble up in Sauls office when Walter tells Saul something like "two steps forward and one back". Walters Frustration is also taken out on that Paper towel dispenser at his Doctors office. Walter is after all a very conflicted soul.
Okay WalkerColt,
1} Skylar cutting Walt off. I don't think she ever has or did. After all Walt's hands have travelled to Skylar's private's in public on several occasions. Remember the school meeting? He had his hand up her skirt and they were comiserating Walts hand to her clit under the table. Then they did it in the back seat of their car in the in the school parking lot. Skylar, a bit of a kink herself. Whether Walt jr. is his can still be debated.
2} What does ATSB mean? Also how does Jesse go back to the same high school? He's an adult after all. Like 24, past the going back to your old high school age. Do we know yet that Jesse didn't graduate HS? He may have flunked chem, and hated Walt then, but not graduating? I may have missed something there, not the first time won't be the last. Also if he didn't graduate, wouldn't he have to enroll himself at the nearest community college or publiclally funded tech place to get his GED first? There are plenty of hotties there of all ages.
New storyline possibility, Jesse hooks up with a lovely Cougar teacher. Talk about an Apt Pupil!
3) Gus, the ulitimate Heisenberg principal overall Bad Guy. A very well educated guy who's a minority. He treat's his employees at his Los Pollos Hermanos franchise's very well. As far as we know, none of them have ever turned him in to the DEA. Very interesting. How has he managed to fly under the radar for so long. Why is he also a meth dealer in spite of the success of his businesses. Hank love's his chicken, and I trust Hank's taste buds.
4} I agree with you about Jesse not becoming a cold blooded killer. If Jesse truly love's anyone in his life, it's his little brother the family prodigy. He may be jeolous of him, but under no circumstance's would he directly hurt him since he love's Jesse unconditionally too. Its a sibling trust kinda thang in spite of the parental units.
5} Of course Marie will continue to abuse Hank! Hank love's the way she abuses him. She's a total Dom, with more sex toys than he's ever seen ever! She's presented more torture sex device's than he's ever dreampt of! And he's a DEA cop! He's seen and dreampt of quite alot. He consider's himself very lucky to have married her, and not have to pay for her. After all he's probably had to pay for lots of pro's in the past to get his juices flowing in his nether regions. I think he's just paid in the past for pros to just listen to him. Hank's a very sad person. I don't think that Marie and Hank have ever truly consumated their marriage. In other words, he's never poked her. She's made him cum though. Riding crop in hand or hands. Talk about a mutual masterbation society.
So, WalkerColt let the game's continue!
Tweeds
Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhh! Tweeds, you are ruthless with the comment that Marie and Hank might never have consummated their marriage. Man! What a twister!? It is rather odd that Skyler's going on 38, Marie can't be that far behind her... what? Maybe ten years max! So, why no kid for Marie? Nice curveball, dude.
ATSB is Aviation Transportation Safety Board but the news usually calls them by their overall authority which is the National Transportation Safety Board. Sorry for the acronym flop.
And about Jesse going back to school? I was thinking of Walt going back to teach. My brain got way out ahead of my fingers there.
I'll disagree with you on one point and that is we haven't seen Walt and Skyler get "romantic" since he pushed her green face cream into the refrigerator door after the trauma of seeing No-dose die at the beginning of Season 2. The sex you called out was all in Season 1. Once Walt tried to "take her" and she called him off, he went out to sit by the pool and she came out mad as hell, yelling, "I know you're scared. And I know it's unfair. But don't you ever take it out on me!!!!" Since that moment, no nookie for the rest of Season 2, or at least we didn't see any. Which is why I accused Skyler of cutting him off. She might not have meant to, but it comes out the same. Now we've got two lonely people. Skyler is eyeing Ted. Will Walt pursue a respectable mistress? Maybe someone sympathetic like Carmen? I'm just asking... Huh? What's Carmen's chances of an affair with Walt? The poor (ha, ha! My bad, the guy's got hundreds of thousands of bucks in the wall) hero has to sleep somewhere.
NTSB was in the crossword puzzle today. Originally I had ATSB, but I eventually got all the words that crossed it right and ended up with the right answer. Wasn't there a Mandy Patinkin movie or TV show or something that had one of those acronyms as the title?
WalkerColt, I'm ruthless with my questions in life. What the hell why not? I grew up with the theory that the stupidest question is the one never asked. I know, I know, I know to too spiritual or stupid for some to respond too. Now, as to my thinking's about Hank and Marie's sex life. At one point in my life I was on the Board of Directors of Coyote, the prostitutes union. Man those girls and boys had some storie's to tell. I learned alot about the business. I learned alot about the John's too. So through my experience of story tellers, many of them did many things without being poked nor being the poker. 30% of the time they just listened. Of course for an hourly wage. Also I knew some folks in the SM world. I don't know if you've seen the Hank and Marie sex video, its on youtube, but its really funny. He's handcuffed to the bed and she sports a cop hat and riding crop. Oh ya, thanks for explaining ATSB and NTSB to me.
Also RockMamma, I like Mandy Patinkin too. I really loved and got hooked ont the show Dead Like Me. I wished they would have ended it properly. Anyway, I'm back.

Walt does know how to charm a gal
