I somehow thought that the laundry plant was down a long road after a gate. No?

The laundry apparently was just off of a main road. Remember when Hank took Walt there? When Walt had to cause an accident to avoid going there? Had Hank followed Jesse there, he would've easily found Walt entering the building and exiting. He would've put 2 and 2 together since Jesse and the laundry were under suspicion.

Was able to see the whole shebang on streaming Net Flix......good to connect the last season and finale which recently, all I had seen. Watching "House of Cards" now......Spacey and the daughter of the football owners, Kate Mara.

It's a relatively easier task to find plot holes in a finished piece than to create compelling drama, dialogue and visuals on a consistent basis. For that, Vince Gilligan and his writing/production team made history in a dramatic TV series.

What's the link that points out discrepancies in the film, Gravity?

Agreed, Todd was the absolute howdy-doody creep-a-zoid sociopath for me. That character was about 100 times scarier than anyone else in the series. Seriously messed up wiring on that character!

Spinoff you say? Hmmm.... quite a few characters survived...

the spin-off has been announced as a pre-quel that would show saul and mike before they met walt and jesse. at least that is what i have heard so far.

BB is a masterpiece of a show. Just curious how in this long thread no one had questioned why Hank never followed Jesse to the laundry. At the time he was surveilling him and was on to him. Just doesn't make sense to me that he would stop (even after being ordered to do so by his command). Gilligan and his team of writers thought of everything - I just wondered about this apparent plot gap. Might not have been a gap at all - hence my question.

This show is very special to me because I watched it while I lived in Albuquerque. My house was In the same area as Hanks. Many references are authentic, like when Walt suggests to spend the afternoon on the Turquoise trail and eat in Madrid. Sadly, I had to watch the last episodes in cold wintery MA. That is when Walt is hiding in NH, which happens to be right next to where I live now.
I can really appreciate how the ABQ vibe was present in the whole series.

Maybe Jesse was observant enough to make sure no one was trailing him while going to work. After all, it's Albuquerque, N.M., not downtown Manhatten.

Not sure about the timeline, but wasn't Hank put on a short leash and a restraining order to not harass or further brutalize young Pinkman after he and Walt punked Hank while cornered in their RV/meth lab?

Yes. This technically covers why Hank left Jesse alone. But given the tenacious Hank we come to know by the end of the show, seems he wouldn't have given up so easily.

One could argue that Walt and Jesse were hiding in plain sight at the laundry - another common theme in the show.

Starting watching BB from E1 on Netflicks last week. My wife and I will binge watch about 4 at a sitting. Man does this show rock! You can't look away or you'll miss something and you never know what will happen next. Currently Hank has been shot and the surviving hit-man twin was off'd by Saul's clean up man. Jessie can't do anything right. Skylar's whoring around with Ted has backfired and Walt is trying to make everyone happy.

Much more to see tonight.

Get used to it...he never does (for the most part)

[daepp]

Paul - be very careful. The last thing you need is a spoiler alert from ANY source. It's too good to be spoiled!

[Gogar]

Yeah Paul you should just stay away from threads like this until you finish. It'll be much more fun for you!!!

[biosurfer1]

I will say this...I had heard things about what was to come, some of the surprises I knew about, some I didn't but the show still was better than my expectations and I went in with very high expectations.

I still watch the final episode now and then, and it still blows my mind.

It gets a LOT darker. Enjoy!

One of the best TV shows.

I watched BB after the AMC network had a BB marathon back over New Year's weekend and I recorded all 62 episodes over the weekend. What I found interesting was the manner in which the opening scenes for each episode were not always (most infrequently actually) even part of that episode. It seems sometimes the opening scenes would be for an episode that might be 5 or even 10 episodes later. It took me a while to figure out that they weren't chronological. It just made the series that more interesting!

[911pcars]

Don't even watch the BB sendups on YouTube, even Jimmy Fallon's "Joking Bad" parody. Gotcha curious now haven't I? Suffah!

However, this Fallon segment is spoiler-safe:
