"Where's my root beer?!"

its the same one. The address is 1001 Central Avenue Northeast, Albuquerque, NM. If you pull it up in google street view you can match the photos up with the ones posted

this guy has nearly every breaking bad location mapped, even tuco's trailer in the desert.

I'm gonna kick his ass now.

Oh wait, disregard

Trapped spider a metaphor for Walt's gang after the boy's slaying?

Looks very close, but the balconies don't have those alternating blue and green sections on the show.
Could they have painted them recently? Or could there be more than one Crossroads Motel?

---

There's gotta be more than one. They could have painted them recently, but no way they would have gone through the trouble and expense to move the whole sign to a different location in the parking lot.

theres two crossroads motels, the other one is spelled "CrossRoads" not "Crossroads". But the one underoos posted is the one from the show. They last filmed there over 2 years ago. Its possible that they have painted the place since then

Yeah, after looking a bit at the pics and google, I've changed my stance. That is definitely 100% the same place. I had thought the signs were in diffferent locations, but I think it's jut the perspective of the picture that makes it look off.

Interesting. The boy catches the spider minding his business in the desert. Maybe the boy "catches" Team Walt mind their business in the desert.

It's very common for film shoots to change things on their set locations. They probably painted the motel to get the look they wanted, then repainted it back or made it nicer.

I think the spider catching thing was just an explanation for why the kid was exploring and curious enough to go check out what Walt and his guys were doing.

If he were just out in the desert joy riding and jumping hills, he probably wouldn't have noticed or cared about some guys working on a train.

Did y'all not watch the previews? It showed a child's hand being covered with dirt.

Also, Jesse said something like "are we killers or dealers?" and Walt then replied he wants an empire or something.

The kid is dead. I doubt many kids can take a 9mm to the shoulder in the middle of nowhere.

---

in this case, i think the kid is dead.

HOWEVER, it wouldn't be first time that a preview lead you to believe something that wasn't the case. Who says the hand is the kid's? And there were A LOT of people on here saying Ted was dead.

That kid's blood is on Walt's hands. When you make it clear to a professional thief, who is trying to impress you, that no one can know about the heist, what did they think was going to happen when the kid showed up?

---

First thing I thought of when he shot the kid. Walt and Jesse made it very clear that there are to be NO witnesses. He was just following orders.

Actually, they told Todd that "no one can ever know what happened here," which is quite ambiguous. I took it as an instruction to keep his mouth shut. Todd apparently thought that meant no surviving witnesses. Hell, Jesse (who spoke those words) may have meant "don't talk to anyone" while Walt wanted no surviving witnesses.

At any rate, it's not quite as clear-cut as "just following orders." What they actually said to him could be interpreted a couple of different ways.

Um, saying nobody can ever know of the heist is the same thing as no witnesses.

That was dumb.

Hilarious.

Have you ever watched Curb?

No it isn't. "No one can know" can mean "don't say a word about this to anyone." In fact, I think that's the most natural meaning. People have said the phrase "no one can know" to me before. Obviously, it was a different context, but I didn't interpret it to mean kill anyone that finds out.

The train heist context certainly makes it ambiguous. But given that Jesse was the one who said it (as opposed to say, Mike), it's not at all clear that "kill all witnesses" was the intended message.

I laughed

Well it was clear to him. He took it to mean nobody knows, including kids that ride up on bikes.

I think he understood how serious they were about no witnesses and when he saw the kid, he saw an opportunity to get in good with them by doing the dirty work for them and showing them how committed he was.

I agree with this. He knew that the kid was a huge problem. So he was trying to be proactive in eliminating the problem.

I don't think Todd will even try to argue he was "just following orders." He certainly wasn't "following orders" when he defied Mike by telling Walt about the nannycam. In both instances he just decided to take an action that he thought would be helpful and impressive. But this time he probably stepped in it, at least as far as Jesse and Mike are concerned.

Having a loose cannon on the staff is dangerous.
But having a cold-blooded killer on the staff who has no problem killing anybody without hesitation can be an asset in Walt's line of work.

A man accused of violating his probation in a methamphetamine manufacturing case in Tuscaloosa County has hit the top of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office most wanted list.

And he shares a name with a famous fictional meth cook -- Walter White of AMC's award-winning drama series "Breaking Bad."

Walter Eddy White, 55, was on probation in Tuscaloosa County beginning in 2010 after being arrested in 2008 on charges of trafficking methamphetamine, unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of precursor materials, according to court documents.
