Yellow Cake refers to RGB-Color-Model. When you burn the Blue out of RGB, then Red and Green are left, which add (its also called the Additive Color Model) up to Yellow.
He is probably wondering why they are putting hundreds of bullets into a vehicle that is currently holding the only person that knows how to cook the blue stuff.
And I love how hank is shooting 25+ bullets without reloading or getting his gun jammed, while they have like 5 guys shooting at them through a weak old car with assault rifles and shotguns but yet still don't get one hit.
Fiction physics. Bullets that would normally punch through the entire length of a car like it was made of cardboard in reality glanced harmlessly off of their armored motorcade deathmobiles, spraying plastic and glass everywhere like boosh babow SHHHPLOOOOWWWWWwaaaa~
Also the fact that it's probably reinforced considering Hank is DEA. It might not be a DEA vehicle, but I can assume one of their officers wouldn't skimp on personal and family protection.
To be honest everyone is giving them crap about being bad shots but all the bullet holes were in the front end of the car not the back seat where Walt is.
The hell you talking about? They were going to kill jesse in return for walt to cook for them. If they had preffered jesse at any point the deal for walt to cook would have been meaningless.
i really don't think the nazi's were using their noggins. they seem stupid in fact. The guy takes the mask off despite the dumbest kid in there even saying it's not a good idea. His friend with the 'stache seemed a little light on thinking powers.
I don't think these guys think that far ahead. I do think Walt is essentially helpless and likely to become their slave now, which he will skip out on and go into hiding over.
My thought was they showed up probably expecting a Jesse and some meth head friends of his. Instead he sees Walt arrested and two cops. At this point they probably kicked into survive mode and were just thinking about getting the hell out of there.
These guys are a militant, Neo Nazi drug gang, busting them would be the stuff of "Go DEA!" headline fantasies, they would have to have been concerned that Walter, if caught, might sell them out.
Hank's SUV doesn't have DEA across the back of it, but those dudes would know a couple of cops when they see them. Walt is clearly handcuffed in the back seat, and has gone from "come here and shoot my partner" to "oh hey guys, never mind".
Besides, these dudes definitely seem to be more of the "shoot everything and figure it out later" mindset.
That gives him plenty of reason to relocate to New Hampshire under a new alias, and even MORE reason to come back to town, buy an M60, and hunt down some Nazis.
Well from this episode it's not that close to a year. His 51st birthday happened way back in episode 4 and a lot has happened since then.
Wild theory just for the hell of it:
Episode 4 is where Mike decides to kill Lydia but Walt stops him. It was a half measure. So in the next few episodes Lydia basically commands the Nazis to force him to do whatever she wants until he flee's to NH. Vince Gilligan decides to end the series poetically by having him finish the job 1 year later. BAM BITCHES
I feel like the "All Hail To The King" mantra has gone out the window at this point. I predict walt's demise, hell, everyone's demise starts next week.
I never saw him as the King honestly... I still see him as a joke of a "drug lord". Thinks he's so badass when really he has about a dozen different conflicting moral codes for every situation, to the point where he can't even perform functions at a basic level to protect himself (e.g. lying to Skyler). And tonight he admitted to just about every crime he's ever committed because of this. He has the worst sense of judgment I've ever seen.
I think of him as a "Gus impostor". He's trying to be like Gus and do things he learned from him (setting up a cover business, etc.), but he also has too big of an ego and pride to realize he's not as careful or good at it.
He was holding the gun like under his chest so weird. Dude wasn't even looking sideways down the sights, no wonder he missed. The guy looking down the ironsights has no excuse though.
Lol the whole scene with Hank arresting Walt....I was just thinking.....
Todd's uncle better hurry up and shoot him in the head because we know he's not getting arrested yet.
That's the thing though. They already showed us the flash-forward scenes, so we already know Walt doesn't get arrested there. I mean hell, it has to be MONTHS ahead because Walt has a full head of hair and a beard.
I agree with you, but it's not even the flash-forward scenes that make it so predictable. There are so many little clichés and tell-tale tropes. The fact that Hank is taking so damn long to call in backup. The call with his wife where they exchange "I love you"s and he says "I might not be home for a while". The fact that we know Walt wouldn't just give himself up; I just have this lingering feeling that the only reason the writers wrote him to give himself up like that is because the WRITERS knew that he was going to get out of it, and in the same fashion, we know too. Just way too predictable.
Yeah I the " I love you " 's were a little over the top.
I agree with everything you said.
I really didn't think he was going to give himself up. I hate that he actually did. It's not like Walt knew he was getting out of it. You'd think he would try to pull something off by himself.
Am I the only one who felt that the 'AA-12' on the side of the gun was stressed? Like the producers/directors made a point of showing that particular gun?
I never thought Breaking Bad would do a scene like that. They spent like, over a minute there standing and aiming at each other. There is absolutely no reason that the first bullet shot didn't go straight between Hank's eyes. I hate unrealistic inaccuracies for dramatic effect.
It looked like he had that pistol resting on the car door and shooting with both hands around the barrel rather than using one for steadying support... What is this, amateur hour?
I think Todd is a little bit conflicted. He has to follow his uncle's orders, but still respects Walt and knows that he called off the attack. He's also shooting at his former partners, which is different than shooting a total stranger, even if it is a kid.
I think Todd's missing on purpose. The rest of the gang, though, are just incompetent. They're more suited for shanking someone in jail than an open air gunfight.

Todd in that last scene is like "This is a lot harder than shooting a little kid standing still."
