Breaking Bad - - Part 11

[Sawyer]

I still think Walt's going to let Jesse kill him, when all is said and done.

 

[kguillou]

Walter is going to teach the Nazis the new meaning of White power.

Oh snap! Good one! t:

 

[FCEEVIPER]

I still think Walt's going to let Jesse kill him, when all is said and done.

Nah other way around.

 

[Sawyer]

I've considered that, especially after last night.

 

[Shikamaru]

I still don't get why people act as though Walt and Heisenberg are two separate people. I mean yea the name has taken on a life of its own but its always just Walter. He's not Harvey/Two-Face from Batman TAS.

It's a metaphor.

 

[Mister J]

I've considered that, especially after last night.

Reminds me of something I read this morning in the Grantland review (which are usually pretty good, but I won't link to because of some words of the naughty naughty variety).

His (Jesse's) post-gunshot howl was the opposite of lifeless: It was the hoarse and rattling sound of someone who has been alive too long.

 

[BeserkerHilf]

Man, what if the last scene is the final confrontation is between Walt and Jesse and instead of Jesse killing Walt, he chains him to the meth lab where all he has left is his meth-making? I just have this eerie feeling that the last line of the series is going to be something along the lines of "it's time to cook."

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Nah other way around.

That's kind of how I see it happening.

 

[dark_b]

hours later and i still can not belive that Tod killed Andrea. just like that. and he was talking to Skylar inside the house. just where is the line Vince?

 

[Bruce Malone]

How did Andrea's death impact you guys? It was sad no doubt but i've always felt her character and brock's were just there to get plot moving for jesse, like a "jane light" almost. I think if she was a more fleshed out character it would have hit me more?

Like what happened to Mike and hank that gutted me, because they were real characters.

 

[Sawyer]

Reminds me of something I read this morning in the Grantland review (which are usually pretty good, but I won't link to because of some words of the naughty naughty variety).

It does actually seem like it would be more fitting than the other way around. It's like Aaron Paul said on the Inside Breaking Bad for last night's episode. He's broken now. There is literally nothing left. If he kills Walt, yes he'll have gotten rid of the most negative influence on his life, but he'll still have nothing left. If Walt kills Jesse, he'll really have to face exactly who he is and what he's done. Namely taking a student, someone whose mind he should've been molding for the better and guiding to better things in his future, and gradually taking everything good from him and beating him down to the point where he just wants it all to end. Walt having to live with the consequences of that would almost be a bigger punishment than anything.

 

[BestGirl]

I have no idea how the final episode can possibly wrap this story up. We still have:

- Walt needing to take revenge on the Nazis, and possibly Lydia and the Schwartzes.

- Marie and her poison.

- I assume Skylar and possibly Jr. are going to be killed at some point.

- Jesse needs to kill Todd and have some final confrontation with Walt.

Welp. Well, at least Saul gets a happy(ish) ending.

Yeah, that made me happy. Saul is my favorite character so, while it's sad that he's gone, at least he made it out of this business alive.

You know, I just had a horrifying thought. What if the ricin is for [blackout]Lydia's daughter?[/blackout]

Even Heisenberg isn't that evil.

[BLACKOUT]Right? [/BLACKOUT]

Like what happened to Mike and hank that gutted me, because they were real characters.

It shocked me because I thought she was going to be kidnapped. She always seemed like such a nice person - in a show with so many gray characters that's a big deal - so I'm sad she's dead. I've never cared for Jesse so his grief doesn't bother me, but I do find myself worrying about what will become of Brock.

 

[Sawyer]

You know, I just had a horrifying thought. What if the ricin is for [blackout]Lydia's daughter?[/blackout]

I've actually been thinking that for awhile, back when I assumed the flashforwards were leading us to believe [blackout]Skyler and the kids had been killed. I assumed Lydia would've been the one responsible, so Walt sneaks into her house, slips it into her daughter's cereal and sneaks back out. Sort of an "Enjoy living with it, *****" moment.[/blackout]

After last night, I've pretty much written it off as a no-go, considering Skyler and the kids are still alive, and I'm not particularly confident that that is going to change.

Though it is disturbing to think that I have a Heisenberg in my head.

 

[Hyde]

but I do find myself worrying about what will become of Brock.

There'll be a spin-off where he's raised by Badger and Skinny Pete

 

[Bruce Malone]

We shall name you "Combo the II".

 

[Zeus]

May the Schwartz be with you...

 

[hobo123]

Anybody else notice that when Todd was talking to Lydia about the batch, he said it was 92% and later when he was talking to Jesse, he said it was 96%.

 

[kguillou]

You know I did notice that! I was like 'Wait, didn't he say 92% before?'. I assumed that this was another batch they had just cooked up.

 

[Kane52630]

yeah I'm assuming it's been a couple of weeks.

 

[Bruce Malone]

It's crazy what the difference a year makes? Last year's mid-season finale had 2.8 million viewers this past episode had 6.6 million viewers and the finale is being pegged at around 7 million.

It's like BB's audience more than doubled this past year alone?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Probably another batch was cooked up.

Here's the thing, though: Breaking Bad has always been a show about "what goes around, comes around," and that those who do evil ultimately suffer the consequences of what they have wrought. No where was this clearer than what ultimately happened with Hector Salamanca and Gustavo Fring. If we apply this to

Spoiler

Lydia, what do we know about her character? She is a woman who survives by being overly-cautious and paranoid, believing that as long as she can keep herself as distant from the meth business as possible and let others do the dirty work for her, she'll be safe. But if her innocent daughter gets killed, not only do her two-lives which she's been trying so hard to keep apart ultimately collide, but it highlights the irony that she was so preoccupied with her own self-preservation that she completely overlooked she had someone far more vulnerable to protect.

I remember someone on here a few days said AMC splitting Season 5 of Breaking Bad into two parts would make it lose some steam. *Dean Ambrose voice* NOPE.

 

[Sawyer]

I think AMC has Netflix to thank for that.
