Breaking Bad - Part 14

[James]

Dang you Bruce Malone, dang you to heck!

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Nobody dragged his body off.

Coyotes always drag the bodies off in New Mexico.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, no dragging off. He was down on the ground, clearly dead, as swat members started coming in.

 

[Travesty]

But what if he was alive.....being dragged away?

 

[Tron Bonne]

But what if he were a mongoose...made of toilet paper?

 

[Travesty]

Now that's just ridiculous!

Only two circumstances would make me watch this:

1. It was a true Detective crossover.

Or

2. Val Kilmer reprises his role of Gay Perry, and instead of Slash...Robert Downey Jr.

Anyone who gives money to this Kickstarter is as big an idiot as those who give money to the potato-salad guy. This kid should stick to awful fan-fiction.

He's even too big of an idiot to use Kickstarter and not IndieGoGo, which takes your money even if the project doesn't reach its goal.

 

[Travesty]

Well, I did it again. I started up the show. I think I'm addicted.

ADDICTED!

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Yeaaaaap I've re-started it too

 

[BlueLightning]

Something I haven't noticed:

Breaking Bad has in total 62 episodes (not counting minisodes). 62 is the atomic number of Samarium, which according to Wikipedia "The radioactive isotope samarium-153 is the major component of the drug samarium (153Sm) lexidronam (Quadramet), which kills cancer cells in the treatment of lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer and osteosarcoma."

Lol I love Dean Norris so much

 

[Whiskey Tango]

He seems really cool. I bet he's a blast to hang out with.

 

[Kane52630]

Was rewatching some old clips...this still kicks you in the gut.

*************SPOILERS*************************





Just finished this series and I rate it 4.5/5. Great show. Really amazing. Walt was a horrible human being. The way he let Jesse gf die and used his gf son against him was shameful. I thought season 5 was the weakest of them all. How Walt didn't end up in jail I don't know. I thought for sure the final episodes would be him adjusting to life in jail and the last scene would be him still running drugs from prison. That's what I would have done. I just found 5 to be a letdown. Still some good scenes like when Todd killed the kid. I almost cried. My favorite character was Gus. Started out really unlikable but growed on you. I'm not interested in the better call Saul show unfortunately. Great show, but it definitely lost steam as it went on.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

That would have been a let down of an ending....lol

 

[BlueLightning]

Walt had to die. There would be no other way.

Brainstorming time!

 

[the last son]

Why did he have to? He had to go to prison to fully understand the consequences of his actions. Not go out like action hero.

 

[slimshady247]

I think he understood the consequences of his actions just fine without going to prison. That kind of seemed to be the entire point of the last two episodes, so...

 

[BlueLightning]

Well, I think he actually lived the consequences of his actions. Watch Ozymandias again. He loses everything, absolutely everything because of his ego and his evil deeds. He was a monster that didn't got a happy ending.

At that final episode we aren't seeing Walter or Heisenberg, but a merge of both, a person that loves to cook meth and the self-realization that comes with it and, ultimately, a family man. Everything he does in Felina is to ensure that his family receives a little of what he intended to give them using Heisenberg methods all around, which is not commendable. Take Jesse for example. At first he is out to get revenge on him for making his recipe for the neo-nazis. When he realizes that Jesse has been the victim, not only that time but a victim of his all along, he decides to save him. In the end, he even realized that he didn't do it for his family, it was him, and him along. So he dies alone. He goes out knowing all of this, the only consolation is that meth lab that reminded him the only "happiness" he had was cooking meth. Coming to full circle to the promise that doctor made in the first episode. Walter had to die.

Besides, how would he "running drugs from prison" would be enough penitence for him to carry?

*Walt goes to jail*

Succumbs to cancer

K. That's so anti-climactic.

This post. I like it. ANOTHA.

I agree, Walt absolutely had to die. It would have been a huge let down if he didn't, because we're told from the very first episode that he will. In fact, the whole point of the show, his entire reason for doing every terrible thing he ever did, was triggered because of his inevitable demise.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

And it just made Dexter look even more absurdly stupid in comparison.

Which was why I actually somewhat predicted they'd pull one on us and have everybody but Walt die at the end.

The episode prologues for season 5.1 sort of hinted at that even.
