Great photos!
I remember seing something about this on VBS.tv a couple of months ago, in their documentary about the snuffy tabloid "Alarma!".

another great episode. having to wait a week for the next one is painful. i sort of wiish i had discovered this show after the fact (like the wire or carnivale) so i could just watch episodes back to back.

Yeah, that shit was cold!

In the last 4 minutes of last night's episode, I was checking the clock and wondering what kind of shit could go down in that small amount of time. Excellent episode.

ICE COLD. He's a bad guy.

Can anyone explain to me the reason they broke out after getting the Pollos text?
I know what pollos refers to but not sure why they left.

Show is awesome so far.

 

[fishmongerfunk]

the text was a signal that alerted the mexican hitmen that walter was untouchable and under the protection of the chicken dude. the inference, i believe is that the mexican dudes actually worked for him or at the very least could be kept in check with one word, indicating the all powerfullness of chicken kingpin.
this is goign to be the best season yet...

 

[Grandfather]

Oh thats odd. Pollos is usually a term to describe like a group of illegals being passed by Coyotes. Didn't know thats what it meant on the show.

That scene was crazy, my heart was racing when he stepped into the room.

 

[fishmongerfunk]

interesting, i didnt realize the word had that connotation .mind you gil scott heron talks about that in "alien"--- how the mexican illegals are considered "chickens to be plucked".

maybe my interpretation of the final scene was off. any other takes?

 

[Grandfather]

Your interpretation was on point.
I just saw a preview of the next episode, it is in reference to Gus

Edit: The previous episode where the cousins destroy that truck is what threw me off.

 

[Fatback]

I think you're right. Basically the text means drop what you're doing and go the the 'chicken man'. Right now. Cousins seem like they're pretty good at following orders.

Walter receives the exact same text in episode 1. Clearly POLLOS is code for Pollos Hermanos aka the restaurant in which to meet Gus. Gus has major weight in the game, but as the spoiler clip for episode 3 shows, he has limitations.

Just watched the last episode, that was by far my favorite part.

so one thing I wasn't sure about - were we to assume his parents had found
cash he had stashed in the wall and used it to pay for the renovations?

In that case, turnabout was even better fair play.

Wait, what cash? Walter had cash in the wall, but Pinkman's money was seized by the DEA after the Tuco situation. Jesse was bust until they started moving a little product in mid-season 2.

No, I think the point is that Jesse's parents put about 400K into the renovating the house, including fixing all the fu?ked up shit due to Walt and Jesse's misadventures (melted gangster, anyone?). Whether they deserved it or not, they looked to make a pretty good payday off flipping the property for ~875K but Jesse managed to leave them flat even. Better call Saul.

Well, my memory of season 2 details is clearly nowhere near yours, I just theorized based on Jesse's specifically saying something about "you tore out the bathroom wall?" and started for the house at that point, no? As if he were there to pick up some stashed cash in the first place - but as I say, apparently you have the details down more than me so I guess I was just reading too much into it. It would have been sweet though if we were to think that his parents had found stashed drug money and decided to use it for themselves, but then lost the ability to profit when Saul exposed the unreported meth lab. It just seemed like the kind of clever twist I expect from the writers.

Those motherfu?kers are ten steps ahead of you or I. God I love this show.
