breaking bad confessions, hank marie walt video
(WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD)

Last week, before the airing of the "Breaking Bad" episode "Confessions," the Mandatory staff took a crack at predicting the upcoming events of the remaining episodes of the final season. Then, Walt went and blew our minds by doing something none of us saw coming, making a phony confession video incriminating Hank. While that didn't necessarily ruin any of our predictions, we decided to give ourselves a chance and amend our guesswork or make up a new forecast of what's to come. Here's what we think:
walt flash forward, breaking bad blood money
It's a Wig - Andrew Harding
Everyone seems to be puzzled about the flash-forwards, so my prediction is that it's all explained by a wig. Walt told Hank he has half a year to live in the present, but we know at some point in the future he's gallivanting around with a full head of hair. I think he's still going to die soon, it's just part of his latest disguise -- and it's because now he's going to have to run from Jesse, too. A fake weave + contact lenses = the new sunglasses + Heisenberg hat.

Skyler Gets Fired (and some other stuff happens) - Rob Fee
Since last week's episode ended with Jesse about to torch Walt's house, and we know from the flash forward that Walt's house isn't burned down, something stops him. I predict Walt Jr. comes home and Jesse gets spooked so he shoots him. Walt comes home, sees it, and kills Jesse. Also, Skyler will get fired from the car wash for giving the incorrect change to too many customers.

Walt Kills Jesse, but Jesse Still Takes Down Heisenberg - Cory Dudak
The fact that this week's upcoming episode is titled "Rabid Dog" seems to allude to season 4's "Problem Dog," a monumental episode for Jesse. Therefore, I assume that this week's will also be a strong one for the crowd favorite. However, seeing as how last week's "Confessions" threw a wrench in almost all of our predictwalt and jesseions (including my own), it's safe to assume all bets are off. Hank will stop Jesse from burning down Walt's house, and the two will devise a plan for Jesse to get Walt alone, and force a confession out of him while wearing a wire. Walt, of course, will admit to nothing, and Jesse will contemplate killing Walt anyways. Walt will talk Jesse down as usual, only this time, after discovering the wire, he'll kill him for his betrayal, admitting as Jesse dies that he was responsible for Jane's death, as well (hubris being the only way I see this secret coming out). In the end, though, Jesse will be the victor, as he also secretly placed a bug in the elusive Heisenberg's hat, which will come back to bite Walt once he thinks he's beaten everyone in the final minutes of the finale.

Jesse Works With Hank to Take Down Walt and Todd - Matt Branham
I think Jesse will be ready to strike the match when Walt Jr. comes home or out of his room, forcing Jesse to rethink lighting the place up, which will then lead to Jesse going to Hank saying he wants to get Walt. Oblivious Walt Jr. will ask his dad what's going on, and Walt will finally have to tell him the truth, which will then lead to his son doing meth with his pal Lewis out of anger. Todd and his crew will catch wind that Jesse is after Walt, who they realize they need for their operation when Todd can't quit screwing it up, and that will cause a big conflict between Todd and Jesse. It could be the beginning of the end for Jesse, but no, because Jesse will give up Todd to Hank or kill him.

Lydia is Dead - Paul Ulanlydia breaking bade
At the end of the most recent cold open where Todd regales his Neo-Nazi relatives with tales of train heists, we see Uncle Jack wipe blood off his boot. While most people just assumed that was from the cartel massacre, I think it's from after the massacre...when Todd and family killed off Lydia. She had given them everything they needed by then, so they decided to off the skittish drug kingpinness in order to eliminate her stake in the profits.


Hank Discovers His Missing Link: Todd - Gary Dudak
With Walt's phony confession tape, it appears that Hank is pretty much screwed. But maybe not. There is a reason the cold open of last week's episode featured Todd discussing the train heist so openly with his family. I think he is very close to slipping up and letting some information out that links him to Heisenberg. I don't know how, but Hank will find it (perhaps Jesse will help), and then he'll have the missing piece he needs to connect Walk to all of his heinous crimes (the prison murders, covering up the murder of Drew Sharp, the continuous meth cooking, etc.).

Holly is Kidnapped -holly marie breaking bad Max Miller
There has been so much emphasis on the White kids being taken from their parents lately. It could all be foreshadowing this one event that will really set both Walt and Skyler off. Skyler seems to be going through the same zombie phase that Jesse went through and she just needs that one thing to really make her snap. A baby kidnapping would do the trick. Maybe it's Marie who finally takes her. Maybe it's Jesse who doesn't want another innocent child anywhere near Walt. Maybe's it's Todd's crew to finally get Heisenberg's attention (remember Todd leaving Walt messages? How many of those has he left?). Whoever does it, the White's kids are pretty much the only factors at this point that could make either parent go on a total rampage.

breaking bad breakfast, walt jr.Walter Jr. Stops Jesse's Arson - Cory Jones
The teaser for this week's episode makes it look like Walter comes out of the bedroom while Jesse is pouring gas all over the house. While there's a lot of speculation that this is when Walter offs Jesse, my prediction is that Walt pulls the gun on him, they argue and then as soon as it's about to come to a head, Walter Jr. waltzes in and wonders if it's too late to have breakfast. And why it smells like gas. "Does it smell like gas because you're cooking breakfast on the gas grill?" he'll ask. "Louis has a real nice gas grill, dad. Is your friend with the gas can staying for breakfast, too?" Then everyone will get nervous and quiet and Jesse will run out, pushing his final showdown with Walt to a later date. Then Walt will start making breakfast.

Second Prediction: The Garduno's waiter goes on a murderous rampage, killing Walt, Skyler, Marie, Hank and, for good measure, Holly, due to the rather cold reception he got after he offered up some delicious tableside guacamole.

I'm not totally sure how to describe this video so let's start with the facts. This is a song called "The Fox" by a Norwegian duo called Ylvis. In order to promote their new talk show, "I kveld med Ylvis," they created this video. At the center of the song is the question that has plagued man for years: What does the fox say? It doesn't really make sense and yet it's almost impossible to stop watching. See for yourself.

New and Improved 'Breaking Bad' Predictions

walt sitting by pool, breaking bad rabid dog
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

Another week, another round of excellent "Breaking Bad" predictions from your favorite gang at Mandatory. In case you missed it, here is what we dished out last week, and after another intense episode we've had to make some adjustments. Let us know what you think about our "Breaking Bad" predictions for the remaining four episodes. Here we go:

Jesse Leads Hank to Walt's Money - Gary Dudak
Everyone is trying to decipher what Jesse meant near the end of "Rabid Dog" when he called Walt and told him he was going to get him where he really lived. Here's more of the quote: "This is just a heads-up that I'm comijesse phone call, breaking bad rabid dogng for you. I decided that burning down your house is nothing...next time, I'm gonna get you where you really live." Let's examine that. He brings up nearly torching Walt's house and says it's nothing. I interpret that to mean it's nothing because Walt could always buy a new house. And why is that? Because Walt has millions of dollars. He once told Jesse that he is in the "empire business," and the quickest way to destroy his empire (where he really lives) is to take away his money. I predict Jesse will lead Hank to where Walt buried his cash (possibly assisted by the lottery ticket on Walt's refrigerator), and will attempt to burn it all.

Todd's Dying Words Screw Walt - Rob Fee
Well since Jesse didn't die last week, he's probably going to live. Walt is going to send in Todd and the boys (great band name, by the way) to take him out, but he doesn't know he's under DEA protection. They'll get shot up and Todd will reveal to Hank with his dying words that it was Walt who sent them. Now they have proof that Walt at least ordered a hit so they can go after him. Walt is in big trouble now because the rest of Todd's family is pissed that he got Todd killed and the DEA is after him for his life of crime. His house gets vandalized by Todd's family and he's forced to arm himself for one last huge battle.

Hank Dies - Cory Jones
As we close in on the end of the series, I'm predicting something big to happen in episode 5 (if it doesn't, I'm going to be very disappointed.) Todd and his family will attempt to put the hit on Jesse, but instead they will kill Hank (who will ironically be defending Jesse). Once Hank is dead, Marie will completely freak out and attempt to poison Walt (if you recall, she was talking about poisons during her meeting with her psychiabreaking bad hanktrist), but she will then accidentally poison Skyler, and possibly Walt Jr. (if she puts her poison in a breakfast burrito).

Jesse Gets Back in the Meth Biz to Smoke Todd Out - Cory Dudak
Jesse said he plans to get Walt where he "really lives," but I think a lot of people are misconstruing that as his family. I predict that Jesse is actually talking about the drug world, where Walt thrives. Jesse is going to convince Hank that the only way to take Walt down at his own game is to let him cook and distribute meth, and try to pass it off as Walt's famous blue stuff. Remember, Jesse is the only other person who can cook meth almost as purely as Walt, and if Todd catches wind of someone moving in on his newfound turf, he's going to be out for blood. I think Jesse is smart enough to know that Walt will send Todd and his guys after him, so he's going to try and beat him to the punch.

Ted Beneke Resurfaces - Matt Branham
I think it's time for a Ted Beneke entrance...you know he isn't just disappearing and staying quiet; that never happens. With only four episodes left, things need to start picking up since not that much has really happened thus far. I think Ted will be looking for either more money, or Hank will somehow use Ted as a missing piece. Jesse said he wants to get Walt where he really lives, and that's his family, not his house. He'll confess to everything if it means saving his family, and Ted Beneke holds an outstanding "fuck you Walt" card that could condemn Skyler and potentially rob his family of everything he's work for.

Walt Jr. Finally Figures Out That His Dad is an Evil Drug Lord - Paul Ulane
Walt seems more out of sorts than he has ever been. Getting rejected by Jesse, someone he has always been able to manipulate to his liking, throws him into complete disarray. He's also got his cancer coming back and his family out of the house. This fluid state of affairs makes it harder and harder to maintain his web of lies. Don't forget that Skyler has turned into a win-at-all-costs accomplice who doesn't mind talking openly about offing threats to the family. With this all swirling around him, Walt will be discussing serious options about what to do next with Skyler when Junior creeps up from around the corner and hears everything by accident. Once the cat is out of the bag, he will demand his parents explain exactly what is going on (over breakfast).

The Best Descriptive Noise Screen Grabs On The Internet

Subtitles provide a great service, helping those of us who can't hear the TV understand what the characters are saying to each other. They are even more helpful when nobody is talking and we want to get a feel for the atmosphere of a scene. That's where the bracketed descriptive noises come into play. Some of these are real, most of them are not, but all of them are definitely awesome.
