Television Breaking Bad

It's funny how Walt quite obviously transformes from positive to a very negative, selfish, immoral character, yet the viewer sticks on his side, hoping for him to get the best outcome at the end.

He sticks for himself and did all this for his family once he is dead, cos face it, they wouldn't have money at all and now they have the carwash at least to support them once dead. What happens to his hidden money right now who knows. I'd do the same if I had a sword hanging over my head like that cos life decided to take a shit on me, even if I didn't enjoy my life much to start with (remember season 1 where he was getting sick of life and how he still couldn't believe to be working as a high school chemistry teacher with a NOBEL PRICE FOR CHEMISTRY hanging on the wall of his bedroom). Really at this point I'd take my revenge on life too :)
 
Walt does not have a Nobel prize.

Why is there talk of him “turning rat?” here on Bluelight, though? I mean, Walt risked poisoning an innocent child to death. Isn’t that a tell tale sign of disreputability, whatever your own or your families’ (very debatable) "needs"? The DEA is an awful debacle of an organization, but Hank is a good detective and shouldn’t be associated with its misguided principles in anybody’s summation of his character. It’s Hank’s own vanity that is pushing him to use Jesse as a dispensable pawn, regardless of DEA affiliations. We’re returned again and again to the themes of pride and vanity. That’s what this tragedy hinges on.

It's not just the snitch thing that's putting people off. It's the constant whining plus the passive aggression. But people are going to have a strong reaction to the snitching. Our particular collective unconscious exhorts us to Never snitch. Never.

I'm pretty sure the show's creators recognize that would be the fan reaction--that many of us would turn against Jesse once he crossed over to the dark side. He's certainly being prepped for slaughter.

When it comes to this show, it seems I have all the usual reactions backwards. "Snitching" is the first action by Jesse that I applaud. He finally grew the balls to do something other then whining, which was indeed off-putting.

Maybe he remembers Walt saying 'open wideee' and pouring ricin into his mouth, or something.
 
Brock's mom is so sexy. She plays a lesbian on The Bridge (good show) and she doesn't really look attractive there, but I can't take my eyes off her in BB. The fact that both of these things were filmed at around the same time and she can look so different in both means she's a good actress.
 
That for me was the best Breaking Bad episode since day 1. I don't think there is one character left in Breaking Bad that I like. Andrea I suppose. What a fucking brilliant show!

Whats up with Brock giving Walt the cold shoulder, is that just a kid being a kid?

A lot of little kids get shy around adults they don't know and don't respond until their parent/guardian tells them to. I don't think it was anything more than that.


I don't like where they ended the episode. I think ending it right as the shoot out began was sort of lame. Breaking Bad vs. The Wire comparisons have been going on for a while and BB finally ending will be able to fully compare the two. Different shows one is focused on a few characters while the other has a broader focus for the most part. I do like how The Wire never ended episodes with cliffhangers. Ending the episode where they did last night was kind of lame imo.

So far these last few episodes seem to be on par with the last few episodes of The Wire. If the last episode of BB is anywhere near the level of the last episode of The Wire then we are in for a treat. :) Only THREE episodes left now!

Yeah, the cliffhangers are getting hillarious, it's like they're trying too much.

Srsly, the shoot out tho: It's like 10 nazis with all the guns in the world vs 1 cop and 1 crippled cop. _Nothing's really hanging off the clif here, or just so it seems.
 
I saw the AA12 when they were getting ready right before Walt called it off and I was so upset he did that because I wanted Gomez to get his leg blown off so Im glad they showed up. Logically, the neo-nazis will take them out but at this point who knows whats gonna happen?
 
Well we saw Jessie opening the car door before they started shooting so I assume he will play some significant role in the outcome of that scene, whatever that may be. I can't believe they would kill off Hank like that? Although that call to Marie... that kinda thing usually means trouble ahead. Or is that just what they want us to think? The last few episodes could turn into a full blown Walt vs Jessie war, but how could that even happen when Walt has so much leverage over Todd and his uncle, Jessie wouldn't stand much of a chance. But then, like Saul said, "He's smarter than you think".

So don't seek assistance from the authorities if you know a nursing-home-bombing attempted murderer of a child who let your girlfriend drowned in her own vomit (granted, he doesn't know) because if you did it would in some vague way betray the unsullied integrity of friggin' tweeker culture? What? In such a case, "don't snitch" is so thoughtlessly juvenile a credo that it would be laughable if it wasn't simultaneously so gravely negligent. Yeah, Jesse, is a whiner, but he's clearly also an ignorant kid who was blindly manipulated into something far beyond his depth, and who wants desperately to reclaim the (relative) innocence of the life he had before its fate was tied to Walt's. To me, he's clearly been written as a tragic figure, not as a character who is being primed for slaughter because he deserves it. I'm not sure how the drama of the show would function coherently for a viewer who was sympathetic to a nihilistic opportunist like Walt -- there's simply nothing to anchor to in him. It's never been about providing for his family after his death. That's merely a rationalization he uses to defend his childish ego. He's refused to grow since losing his former love interest and the jealously and spite that has stemmed from that, nurtured by his pride and unfortunate circumstance, has flowered into a grand tragedy that has claimed the lives of innocents. I'm not sure how to make sense of the story if Walt isn't a disgusting bastard (even if there were times, VERY early on, when I sort of wanted him to be a bad ass who won out in the end).
