Television Breaking Bad

why Jack didn't put a round through his head as soon as he walked in the room

Jack didn't want blood/a bloody mess in his living room. They specifically answered that on the show. If you're going to nitpick over details like this then at least pick ones that didn't have exact dialogue toward that detail.
 
The more I think about it, the more it seems entirely possible that Walt died in the car in New Hampshire and the resulting bad assery was just his DMT death dream. At the very least I believe both versions of events are simultaneously true, and this possibly "real" version of events exists in an alternate universe as we speak. The scene with Jessie in the woodshop proves that the show could take the point of view of someone's fantasy.

I call it the Schroedinger's Felina theory.

But the Super fan, Norm Macdonald, did a better job explaining the theory for sure: http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/was-the-breaking-bad-finale-all-just-a-fantasy-in-walter-whi is a fun little read.

there are other shows to watch, other things to do..

Finally got around to rewatching the last episode while not fucked out of my head.. why did Walt put his watch on he payphone? I don't think they ever really went over that..

Vince said it was an 'artsy-fartsy' thing, but the watch is one Walt got from Jessie, severing ties maybe? Or maybe just continuity seeing as in the flash-forward at the beginning of the season Walt isn't wearing a watch.

Poor RJ Mittle, he must be hurting most with the series ending.

No more BB, im still crying, have done for a week!

I am a lot sadder than I thought I would be upon BB ending. For the last few years there was only a brief portion of the year to look forward to new BB episodes, as it would usually be only a 2-3 month run where new episodes were shown. So, it's not like it's changing my routine or anything, but it's sad that there's no more to look forward to. Nothing. That's all he wrote. No more Walter White. No more Jesse Pinkman. No more any of it. It had sucked waiting for 5B to come after 5A, especially since it was so long between the two, but 5B was still something to look forward to. Now it's just over.


Edit: Nevermind. Just died already.

Breaking Bad is a purely fictional TV show with an overtly unrealistic, fantastic plot....a complete fairy tale. The characters however, are very compelling and realistic, and you can genuinely empathize with the emotional struggles and inner conflicts that they go through....That's what makes the show so great. It can go from drama to comedy to action/adventure in a single episode. It has a little bit of everything and the viewer never knows what the next scene will bring. It lulls you into a false sense of security with something lighthearted, and then drops a bomb on you time and time again!

It does contain gratuitous, cartoon-like violence at times that's just there for pure entertainment, like any gangster/crime or action/thriller type movie or show. People root for people to die all the time in the context of TV and movies, that's just part of the fun of it! That's why I find it funny that there's a select few posters in this thread getting on their "moral high horse" and passing judgment on the people who are hoping that certain characters get killed off or "take the money and run" etc. It's a fucking TV show! It's just so naïve, immature and IDK.....fucking pretentious....I abhor people who think they're just "so enlightened" and nitpick every little thing that everyone else does...I've spent years of my life around people like this and the only people who can stand them are the other people with the exact same stick up their ass, or as Walter White said a few episodes ago in the flashback scene in the desert, "So and so has 'bug up his butt' and he's insisting that I stay late!"

From now on I'll make sure that I only identify with and root for the fictional characters that conduct themselves in the most politically correct, morally upright manner that mirrors how everyone should live day to day in real life!

When I watch a slasher film like a Friday the 13th and the other people in the room with me drinking beer all cheer when an asshole character gets killed, I'm gonna push the non-prescription, unnecessary frames back onto the bridge of my nose and say, "How can you guys cheer for someone dying?!"..."Nobody deserves to die!"...."Cheering for people who die in movies is disrespectful to the people who die from senseless violence everyday in real life!"....Then, I'll go in my bedroom, fire up my MacBook and put on a jazz-fusion record(an actual vinyl record) by some band nobody's ever heard of before and lament how ignorant everyone is....

As long as:

-Holly and Walter jr. are safe and relocated to upstanding caring parents

-Everyone who broke any law at anytime during the course of the series is punished, including skinny Pete and Badger, we haven't forgotten you little devils!

-Marie is given a lifetime pension by the government so she doesn't have to worry about bills, and...

-Skyler apologizes to the original carwash owner and comes clean,

The finale will have some real closure and satisfaction for us BB fans with a moral and spiritual conscience!

The thing about us people who have a pretentious moral stick up our ass is that we are aware this isn’t a drunken conversation between a few intimate friends who know each other’s personalities and can draw on their mutual history to help interpret what each of them is saying subtextually. It’s a globally accessible (currently 106,768 views in this one thread’s history) hypertextual discussion about a morality tale where every contributor typically has hours or days to compose a written response that may be read by tens of thousands of unknown people, some of whom have given indication they condone violence against “snitchers,” police, and people “in the game.”

I’ll quote from an interview linked to earlier with Breaking Bad’s co-executive producer Peter Gould:

Interviewer: Right now, Walt and Jesse are going through their own personal hells. I feel like all of Walt’s moments are catalysts leading up to something. Do you view Jesse having to watch Andrea getting shot in a similar way, or are they more of a punishment? How do you view what Jesse’s going through?

Gould: It’s not like we’re punishing Jesse because we’re sadistic, because that’s the thing that happens in the story. When you get into this world of crime, the people who get hurt aren’t just the people in the game. That’s the illusion. That’s the heroic illusion of criminals is that if you’re in the game, then you’re taking the risk, but the truth is, people who aren’t in the game get hurt every day, and really that’s, in my mind, that’s justification. People make up reasons for doing the things they want to do, and I think our responsibility dramatically is to be honest about what could happen. So we didn’t really see it so much as Jesse being punished, per se, but this is what happens when you get in business with Nazis.

If you go back and read my “pretentious” moralizing responses from prior to the posting of this interview you may detect some affiliation with Gould in my tone. That's no coincidence. I don’t personally feel we as posters are exempted from the essence of this “responsibility” he refers to as a producer of mass media, since every post we make is, in fact, a type of, albeit smaller, mass media (media concerned chiefly with harm-reduction, no less). I’m constantly bewildered by the way people here on bluelight treat threads like they’re having real-time interpersonal conversations. This isn’t a live exchange in a shared physical space; and, despite its superficial similarity, it’s profoundly different from a “live” online chat room. To treat it like it is anything like an oral discussion is a ridiculously ignorant way to behave. That’s not just my opinion, it’s pretty much a fact – simply consider the affordances of the medium and the truth of that claim is pretty clear. I can only assume that so many people do treat bluelight this way because they’re either insensate (though many have some degree of inebriation as an excuse, myself [often] included), lazy, or fundamentally incapable of doing any better for the sake of their hundreds or thousands of potential readers.

I mean, why NOT try to elevate a discussion potentially followed by tens of thousands around the world about a morally relevant show many clearly deeply identify in their personal lives? I have absolutely no problem with joking around and sharing memes from around the internet here – I’m partially in this for fun, too – but to dismiss semi-serious discussion in such a context as “pretentious” is an insult to the thousands of lurkers who might just happen to give a fuck. On the other hand, if such lurkers or members happen to be one of the inevitable multitudes who really could care less, well then, good news! -- this ISN’T a physical chat that they’re under any pressure from the mores of interpersonal discussion to carry through with a semblance of attentive respect, so they’re perfectly free to skip over any such self-aggrandizing hoity-toity blather and post another .GIF of Lydia’s lovely ass if that is what they're in it for. Yay for message boards!

^Heh. That was an extremely fast response for another person in the Midwest at this time of the day. My excuse is the start of two days off of work and a combination of low doses of 2-FA, 6-APDB, MDPV, and liquor. What's your's?
 
I live in the most boring city in America, I'm unemployed, I sit here on the computer all day and have BL opened all the time....don't really know why considering it frustrates me and makes me crave drugs that I don't use anymore..

Also, my GF works until 2AM and stays up until 7AM every night...That pretty much covers it...
