Since we've pretty much exhausted this episode allow me to hijack with a personal story about Bob Barker. I graduated from LSU in '98 and went on the Price is Right that summer. I'd love to say my name was called, and ended up losing to a giant Samoan in a showcase showdown, but that would be a lie.
During tv breaks, Bob Barker would occasionally call on people in the crowd to ask a question. I raised my hand, and was nearly a nervous wreck when he called on me in front of 500 people. The following is a brief summary of what happened next:
Me: Mr. Barker, you dated my grandmother in college?
(crowd makes a collective ooooh sound)
Bob Barker: Now wait a minute, that may not be true. What's your grandmother's name?
Me: Doris ******.
Bob Barker: (turns to the side and laughs before turning around) I DID date your grandmother. Is she still with ***** *****?
Me: Yes she is.
Bob Barker: That guys a bum. Just kidding tell them I said hello.
Anyways, I knew that the only man who ever came between my grandmother and grandfather was Bob Barker, but I think I can confidently say that he nailed her.
And I still don't know how I feel about that....

This show gets so far fetched at times that it makes it hard to enjoy.
1) How would Walt know that Hank would close the blinds and walk out of his office to get coffee? That seems like a huge stretch to me.
2) Why would anybody ever get stuck exactly on the tracks? If the truck died before reaching the tracks, you would stop before the tracks. If the truck died on the tracks, you would use the momentum to keep going forward and then stop after the tracks.

Walt's act of breaking down and crying would get most folks to close blinds to allow for privacy. I suppose that if Hank hadn't offered Walt coffee/soda, Walt would have requested some just to get him out of the room.

Loaded down dump trucks generally don't have a whole lot of momentum to keep rolling forward.

If he was able to power the truck up to the tracks, then I'm guessing there would have been enough momentum to get over them pretty easily. I understand it is TV, but come on.

people on the Breaking Bad subreddit used to think that Todd was in law enforcement, but they don't think that anymore. did anyone on here think that two episodes ago?

I thought he was an undercover cop right up until that gunshot.

I'm guessing you don't understand the reason why the dump truck was on the tracks.
Not a coincedence the truck 'broke down' right there on the tracks where they needed it to stop to siphon off the chems.

I'm sure he understood that part, but I guess expected the train crew to be suspicious?
Even if they were, when the guy didn't try and harm them and appeared to just be in need of help, they probably wouldn't think to themselves "Check the whole train and see if someone is stealing stuff!"

It must suck to be you to not be able to enjoy a show this good.

I'm pretty sure they have to stop and check.
The only thing I had a little issue with was out in open country that train isn't stopping in under a mile. I lived 5 or so miles from a BNSF line and every 45 minutes a train would scream through the area. When they get west of I-35 and into the flat plains they open the throttle and easily they're going 65-70 mph. That sucker isn't stopping in a 1/4 mile.

I work for the railroad, and the list of reasons that heist would have never happened is to long to type. However it was still entertaining as hell. It's tv try not to take it so seriously. On another note, anyone notice all the Jesse James references lately?

it's a long time till Sunday night...enlighten us.
I agree that the braking distance seemed to short to stop that train.

Seems like people are in here every week scouring episodes for something to bitch about it not being realistic enough.

Yup
I lold at the scene where Bill Burr got behind the truck with the engineers to push. They were pushing with all their might and he was hardly doing anything.
