full size Breaking Bad Season 5 Premiere: Walt & Jesse

It’s so good to see Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) together again. Even if they don’t exactly look happy. Then again, when have either of these two looked happy?

This photo is the first look at the upcoming July 15 premiere of Breaking Bad Season 5: Part 1. There are a few things we immediately noticed that might be revealing about where we’ll pick up the story on July 15.

Walt still has the nose bandage. In the Season 4 finale, Walt was still heeling from his fistfight with Jesse, and he was sporting the same bandage on his nose. Judging on all the past season premieres of Breaking Bad, it looks like the final season will continue the tradition of picking up immediately after the prior season finale.

Jesse’s dressed...well. For Jesse. He no longer looks like such a Smurf in this photo. The jacket actually looks expensive, and his jeans aren’t slung below his butt. Is Jesse somehow growing up?

They’re standing in a flat field. No desert hills, and no signs of life in the distance. Plus, they’re clearly staring at the same thing — has someone driven them out here and stranded them? Are they being confronted by someone acting on Gus’ or the Salamanca family’s behalf?

They look pissed. Again, Walter and Jesse rarely smile these days, but Jesse looks like he’s one second away from calling someone a bitch. And Walt looks like he’s on the verge of one of his whine-yells.

What else can you pick up from this photo? Share your theories and thoughts in the comments!

Breaking Bad Season 5 will premiere on Sunday, July 15 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on AMC.
