    I'm back midway through season 3 working my way through 4 episodes a night avoiding this thread like the plague in case of spoilers so I don't know if this story has been posted here yet...



    Breaking Bad cakes at Glasgow cafe spark anger




    A cafe in Glasgow has come under fire for glamorising drugs after selling ‘Breaking Bad’ cakes - inspired by the hit US TV show about a chemistry teacher who uses his skill to make crystal meth.

    The ‘Breaking Bad Crystal Meth cupcakes’ feature a blue topping which appears similar to the drug made by lead character Walter White in the drama series.

    The Gordon Street eatery charges £2 for the cakes, which are said to be an in-joke aimed at fans of the show.

    Christine Duncan, chief executive of Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs, said on the organisation’s website: “The glamorising of drugs is completely distasteful.

    “We know from our membership base that the impact of drug misuse on families includes financial instability, breakdown in family relationships and the loss of employment.”

    The show features the journey of the family man, played by Bryan Cranston, from mild mannered teacher to ruthless drug kingpin, as he cooks his unique crystal meth to raise money for his terminal lung cancer treatment.

            umm....but glamorizing Viagra, Cialis, Lunesta, Ambien, Paxil, Prozac, Nucynta, Cymbalta, and a billion others that big pharma wants to force feed us is not distasteful?

            Perhaps Heisenberg needed to "donate" a % of that $80 million to a few politicians like big pharma does.

                  It was that a little, but while they were interviewed did you catch how it was mentioned his recipe is still being used? His SIGNATURE recipe? Even reaching Europe.....still! He is pissed because he knows Jesse is still alive & he was always protective of HIS recipe.

                  But my theory is he doesn't shoot up the Nazis or Grey Matter. He takes over a local news station & gets to tell his story. Rat out Jack & the nazis & Todd, explain that he did NOT kill Hank, and tell his story to a watching America. Then he takes the ricin himself to end his pain from cancer & his suffering from losing it all. But he will finally have that forum where people have to listen without interrupting. So he can explain why he did what he did, and also what he did not do.
                  That's a good, interesting theory. I think he hires the mercenaries and kills everyone, except for Jesse. Something about retribution and vindication, he wants to prove his son wrong and close down the shop he built...

                      Sure, it sounds plausible, but maybe a bit too plausible for this writer. I'm prepared for an ending similar to Beneath The Planet Of The Apes. Everyone but Walt is going to peel their faces off. Walt snorts ricin, then hits the Doomsday bomb switch.

                        So, starting in 13 minutes AMC is showing the entire series right up until the finale Sunday night! That'd be great if I didn't have to work or sleep! I think I'll watch it over the winter instead!

                            so the gun in Walts trunk I am told is an M60. I looked this up on youtube and wikipedia. Umm.....damn! That is some heavy duty kill 'em all artillery. I am fully team Walt. I really want him to go out on top somehow. Every bad thing he has done I understand had to be done and was out of necessity only. He never killed anyone out of malice. It was always out of self defense. The only truly bad thing he did is poison the kid. But he didn't do with intent to kill. Don't forget this is a brilliant scientist.

                              I had a vision of what the very last final ending scene is. Kinda ghey, but not far fetched. Not sure how it get's there, but here is the final scene of BB.

                              Jesse driving on an open highway, slowly passes a sign "Welcome To Alaska". Looks over & gives Brock a little smile. As they pass we see in the rear of their truck a black barrel...

                                Do they peel their faces off?
