The recently leaked and much anticipated sixth season is all that fans could have hoped for and more. Shooting is still underway due to scheduling issues, but hopefully we will see season six released mid next year.
I have been privileged enough to watch the final visual edit without music scoring for the first episode and have seen the script for a further 2 episodes which I will cover in later posts. I will give you a short synopsis of them being careful to not reveal too much, but hopefully it will give you some idea of the treat you are in for.
The first episode opens with a scene in a jail cell where someone is being beaten viciously by some prisoners. As the shot opens out you can see Walter White in prison greens standing in the doorway watching it calmly with a prison guard by his side, also looking on.
This alone tells you that Heisenberg is back in business and his transformation is seemingly complete.
After the opening titles we go back to where we left season five. We witness police and and ambulance dealing with the crime scene at the compound where Walter White was injured and last seen dying surrounded by the chemistry lab where Pinkman was kept as a meth cook slave at the end of season five.
Without to many spoilers, Walter White is seen being taken away to hospital, all filmed from his hazy semi-conscious perspective laying on a gurney, and as you might guess from the fact we have a new season to enjoy, he does live. At least for a bit longer.
A brief outline of the plot for the first episode and some selected content from the scripts for episodes 2 and 3 is as follows:
- Walter in prison hospital alone but we do see his wife. I will say no more about that meeting but it is important and involves a fortune and a treasure hunt and a continuation of their truce.
- Walter being arraigned and held in a prison hospital.
- Saul is back from hiding out and this time he has his work cut out to say the least. All I will say is it is a good thing the judicial system can be as dishonest as the criminals they put on trial.
- A meeting and a developing relationship with a strange priest who wants to save Walters "soul", which becomes important to the plot as the season proceeds.
- Without saying whether he is found guilty or not and spoiling it, I can say that the wording on one of the past seasons "All Hail The King" becomes appropriate again whilst he is in jail, although it does take a few episodes to get there.
- His cancer is still around but is being treated again. In fact the very invasive surgery he underwent after his gunshot injury brings some new facts to light about his cancer. I will say no more...
The end of the third episode sees him much recovered, in jail on remand but very busy with a new occupation and his skills and services much in demand.
