Breaking Bad - Part 8

[terry78]

Spoilers posted during and after the showing though, are fair game. That's just common sense.

This I absolutely agree with. It's pointless and redundant spoiler tagging each and every post in the thread when the plot details of the latest episode are the only thing anyone is likely to be talking about. The whole thread should be considered one giant spoiler tag for those not up-to-date. I know well enough to steer cleer of any threads for show's I'm behind on if I don't want to be spoiled, and I'm sure most people know the same. Blaming someone else for spoiling you because you clicked on the thread is like blaming someone who posted a spoiler in tags because you clicked the tag.

 

[DrDoom]

I'm all for being protective of spoilers and people being considerate about where we post them... but come on, guys. Anyone with a shred of common sense knows that the one place you DON'T go if you don't want to know what's just happened in the latest episode of Breaking Bad is a BREAKING BAD THREAD just after the episode has aired, where of course that is the only thing that's going to be getting talked about.

If someone posts a spoiler from this episode before you can watch it on Facebook or Twitter, or on some other message board thread that's not specifically about Breaking Bad, I'll gladly join you in the condemnation. But in this situation? Show some restraint and stay out of the thread if you haven't had a chance to watch the episode yet. Being spoiled in here and moaning about it is like poking holes in the wrapping of your Christmas present to peek inside, then getting pissed off when you discover what the present is.

 

[Lord]

Spoiler tags should be used up until after one week after the episode was aired, before that there are allways people who didn't watch it yet but are accostumed to go to this thread to discuss characters.

Either way i watched the episode now, and i think Walt is very underrated by some when it comes to his morality, he has been put into all these s****y situations because he was either trying to save himself or looking up to Jesse, or even Hank. In fact with Gus Fring he was pretty much set for life, but screwed everything while trying to save Jesse and later Hank. Something none of them seems to apreciate.

 

[The Demon's Head]

"Whatever you think is supposed to happen, I'm telling you, the exact reverse opposite of that is going to happen"- Pretty much sumps up the entire show. Which is why I don't think Walt is calling out a hit on Jesse. I think he ordered a "Hit" on himself.

 

[Drizzle]

If you choose to wander into the thread after the episode aired and you haven't seen the episode yet, it's on you.

Spoiler tags should be used up until after one week after the episode was aired, before that there are allways people who didn't watch it yet but are accostumed to go to this thread to discuss characters.

That's a bit ridiculous and excessive, especially when you consider that for the week after an episode has aired, all that is going to be getting talked about is that episode, and after a week, people will be talking about the latest episode that's aired. So every page on every thread would likely just be a wall of...

Spoiler

Redundant

Spoiler

Repetitive

Spoiler

Annoying

Spoiler

A nuisance

Spoiler

Pointless

Spoiler

Time-wasting

If you're wanting to talk about these volatile characters whose situations are ever-changing on a week-to-week basis, but in a general, non-specific way unrelated to any of the most recent plot developments relevant to them, it will likely be a one-way discussion at this stage.

Either way i watched the episode now, and i think Walt is very underrated by some when it comes to his morality, he has been put into all these s****y situations because he was either trying to save himself or looking up to Jesse, or even Hank. In fact with Gus Fring he was pretty much set for life, but screwed everything while trying to save Jesse and later Hank. Something none of them seems to apreciate.

I think early on there was certainly a degree of him doing bad things to help others. But by the time we got to Season 4, when Gus chose Jesse as his new protege and, at Jesse's behest, was willing to fire Walt rather than kill him, Walt's bruised ego and unwillingness to walk away from the empire business resulted in him concocting a plot to position himself into power, which involved poisoning a child to use as a bargaining chip. Pretty ruthless stuff.

 

[Lord]

When THe Avengers came out first in Europe people were able to keep relativelly quiet and calm with the spoilers, but every time the US gets something first they're not near as gente.

Walt also did that because Gus was going to kill Hank, somebody who was his friend and family, Jesse owed that much to Walt and it's a shame he had to go that far for him to go on with his plan.

 

[kguillou]

This may be a dumb question, but do you guys think Jesse told Hank....EVERYthing? I feel like there may be a few things here and there even Jesse wouldn't want to divulge.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Just saw this on a twitter page regarding the title of the last episode:

Spoiler

The title of Breaking Bad's final episode is
"Felina"
Fe-Li-Na
Iron-Lithium-Sodium
Blood-Meth-Tears

Not sure if it's intentional or not... but still.

 

[Liam_H]

It seems to have been implied [BLACKOUT]he did tell him everything. Hank said to start from the beginning which he did in high school. A few seconds later they know about Vamanos Pest Control, Drew Sharp, Lydia. Jesse seems to have screwed himself over by confessing everything on camera, cause now Hank has everything on him. Couldn't believe he agreed to it. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[The Amazing Lee]

I assume he also knows about Todd as well.

We live in a world of twitter, spoilers are fair game everywhere on the interwebz the second something happens in sports, at the end of an episode, or the first viewing of a movie on Friday...

"Whatever you think is supposed to happen, I'm telling you, the exact reverse opposite of that is going to happen"- Pretty much sumps up the entire show. Which is why I don't think Walt is calling out a hit on Jesse. I think he ordered a "Hit" on himself.

For what purpose? Hoping Jesse will sympathize and help him?

 

[Liam_H]

That's an interesting thought, maybe Walt is trying the 'we need to team up again against a common enemy' like with Gus. Although, it shouldn't work and Walt should realize that.

Exactly. I'm curious if there's another reason but I have no idea what it could be.

 

[JaD]

I had a Breaking Bad dream last night, it had to do with Jesse & Hank teaming up at some point. Walt finds some secret map in a fishtank that points to some old military base called Pearl Harbor Helix or something. They started discussing the potential threat of an old military base like that and that's about as much as I can remember. Sorry if I spoiled anything for anyone

 

[Tron Bonne]

I don't see how Walt putting a hit on himself would do anything? Odd thought. I'm not sure what the easier way that Jesse is referring to, but it can't be the money. Did Jesse even go into the kitchen of the house to see the coordinates? And he was so mad at that point, that I really doubt he'd have any rational thought about it.

Respect others and be respected, are you implying we should spoil you and all the internet when we get a certain movie first? Because that is a very bad statement, mods even had to alert people about spoilers over different movies.

Like it or not many don't like to be spoiled, and not every country receives movies at the same time, something you don't seem to respect.

 

[Tron Bonne]

What makes more sense to you? Spoiling something for as long as it takes to go worldwide, or just not coming to a thread when you know that it has come out in other territories?

No, Jesse never made it into the kitchen, only the living room before he was stopped.

As for Walt putting a hit on himself: it would be to fake his death, in order to protect his family. Maybe that's why Carol was so shocked to see him, cause she thought he was dead.

Just to be clear i'm no longer talking about Breaking Bad. Many go went to the Dark Knight Rises thread to see reaction but all spoilers were forced to be under tags, there are actual rules for that, that didn't stop many from spoiling others with thread names though, once again when Europe got The Avengers first there was barelly any major spoilers being given, yet when The Dark Knight came out most weren't as nice, and didn't wait a week until after the premiere of the film like the mods asked. Don't want to talk trash about an entire country and its populance but seems to me that fanboys from the USA are not very respectful to others when it comes to spoilers.

Hm, well, that could be interesting I guess. But then we also saw Heisenberg painted in his house at that scene, so how would people find out if he were presumed dead? His shenanigans made public after his "death"?

Todd's uncle could've done that and trashed his house.

 

[Liam_H]

But it would be more effective if it came from someone like Jesse or even Hank. Someone with such personal connection to him throughout the series.
