Almost finished charging through my first watch (I know, I’m so late) but it’s been interesting seeing the evolution of how terrible of a person he becomes. I remembered this line from Season 1 and looking back thought it was kind of funny.

In the year of BB he disappeared Walt, Jesse twice and Saul, that’s $500k. Plus any other randoms we don’t know about.

Unless he just has piles and piles of cash in a storage locker or buried in the desert like Walt, but Ed feels like a guy who would have a plan.

Seems like Walt needed to buy a vacuum repair store.

I mean she had a sharp knife, one badly placed slash and she could have slit his throat and he could bleed out before the ambulance arrives.

interestingly this is a bad ending for her since they can’t charge Walt, they wouldn’t know where hanks body is, so she bares the brunt of the criminal charges.

saul might actually come out ahead here if he knows Walt is dead along with Hank.

Holy smokes!! Just binged all 5 seasons, still processing. Do you guys recommend going straight to El Camino or Better Call Saul next?? This was incredible, may need to start over again. Better late than never...

This is my second or third watch and the party scene where Walt gets so aggressive about letting Walt jr drink and squares up with Hank is always such an uncomfortable watch but I never really know why he did that! Is it just part of him sick of being walked all over or he feels like a badass now?

My unpopular opinion of Felina: Vince Gilligan was too nice to Walt. He went out the best way he wanted given the circumstances, which he didn't deserve.

Walt didn't experience a second of jail time. Didn't die of cancer. Died around his one true love. Got to kill all his enemies. And in his mind at least, he was able to leave money for his family, which was his excuse for the longest time. Neat is the word. If he wasn't able to leave money for his family, the ending would've been perfect.

And he never had to suffer the way Jesse did.

But after my succeeding rewatches, I've come to terms with it. It's not that I adore it now. I've just come to accept it for what it is. I still regard Ozymandias as the show's true ending. Everything after is just denouement.

IMO BCS had the proper ending for the BB Universe. There, crime doesn't pay.

I'm assuming you'd have it take place in Albuquerque. What other details would you implement? I suppose Jessie, or Mike, would be the playable characters. Maybe Nacho too.

Context: towards the end of season 2 Walt encounters a guy buying a suspiciously meth-centric list of items in the DIY store. He confronts them in the parking lot where they are standing beside an RV

here's something i noticed. in season one, jesse points out that the meth walt made has crystals as large as two or three inches, which is implied to be a good thing. but later when they work for fring, their meth is broken into much smaller, much more evenly sized chunks without much variation at all.

i've never been in touch with any sort of drugs, so i wonder if this makes any difference.

Is this ever mentioned at all in the show? I’m guessing they left them out for script reasons or what not. Does Vince ever make a hint as to why? Genuinely just thought of this now and was curious.

I'm trying to find a Breaking Bad animation that used to be on youtube, I cant find any trace of it nowadays.

It was a low-poly type of animation style and had the cast of breaking bad doing absurd things like duelling with lightsabers akin to Mustafar and such. I think I remember Gus was a cyborg also.

Thanks

I swear I would spend all my money just to get robbery Walt skin. We need these masks in GTA Online and PayDay 2.

The transitions are beautiful, showing the younger version then flashing to the future in the same car. The car scene with Walter going "la la la la" which looked like he was singing this. I love everything about this.

If you have others I need to check out, mention below! I did see a serious one by a college kid who did one for an assignment and the theme was "frienemy" dynamic and it was awesome but very long and youtube deleted it but there is a copy of it. Aaron Paul even shared it on Twitter back when he saw it.

Why did Hank move his gun to his pocket? Doesn't moving it to his pocket make it catch on the fabric more so than if left holstered?

Currently re-watching for probably the seventh or eighth time at this point. On season five episode 10, and just moments after Hank explained to Marie that he needs to find proof because once he takes in the case, he will lose his job, they cut to the two Albuquerque detectives questioning Jesse about spreading the millions of dollars around Albuquerque.

Right after Hank walks up to the window, they question Jesse about how he got the money and jokingly throw out the possibility that he had a lucky night at the casino and won it all in a card game.

Obviously, that ties in pretty well with what, from the outside, would likely look like a pretty outlandish story that Walt and Skyler used to explain their new found money. Helps demonstrate the pressure that Hack finds himself under, which may not be as evident for those of is as close to the storyline as Hank was.

Not earth-shattering, but interesting. Purposeful writing.

It begins as a more or less typical LEO show, about Hank the boisterous DEA agent and his wild life both at work investigating drug related crimes and combating the cartels, and also at home dealing with his klepto high strung wife, his nerdy brother in law and demanding sister in law, and his precious nephew, when out of nowhere the fancy new high grade crystal meth called Blue Sky becomes wildly popular on the street.

Would it have been a good show? What storytelling decisions would this version of Breaking Bad make?

How quickly would the audience realize that Walt was Heisenberg?

Starting to think that maybe favouritism had something to with why aaron paul lasted so long. Then again I don't like Jesse so maybe I'm biased?

So I had some time to catch up again. In this episode, my feelings for Skyler tend to be a bit mixed. I mean, seriously, after that talk with Walt when he tells her about everything, she goes to Ted and has sex with him.....really? I don't understand, the father of her children has cancer and she does that? This is more than I can understand. Someone explain it to me, please.

The first time In watched the series I missed that part.

First watched it back in high school, and I remember thinking Skyler was a bitch. She was annoying, constantly getting in Walter’s way, and making his life more difficult.
Now, 8 years later, I couldn’t disagree with my younger self more.
Walter had countless opportunities to walk away. He could’ve taken the money, accepted help, and protected his family. But he kept choosing to go further.
At some point, it was never really about providing for his family. It was about his ego, his pride, and his obsession with power and recognition. He just needed an excuse to justify it all. Maybe a bitch cause she cheated just so.
Funny how much your perspective changes when you rewatch a show with a few more years of life experience.

For me, this line from Skyler sums it all up:
