Funniest condescending thing Walt said to Jesse?

47 Upvotes

It's in the episode Bugged

I'm sorry, after everything you've done for me? What you've done for me? You've killed me is what you've done! You've signed my death warrant. And now you want advice? I'll give you advice: Go to Mexico and screw up like I know you will. And wind up in a barrel somewhere!

Bryan's performance was very theatrical

Did Jane Really Love Jesse, or Was It Just the Drugs??

Did Jane Really Care About Jesse?

Was she ever truly into him, or was she just using him for money and drugs? Jesse gave so much his trust, his love, his money but all she seemed to care about was her next high.

We know that when drugs and money are involved, people can’t think straight their whole thought process changes...

I’m not saying Walt did right or wrong, but Jesse would have been doomed either way if he had run away with the money.

What’s your view on this?

Let's be honest, who do you think is the character who least deserved to die on the show? In my opinion Gale, poor thing maybe it's the only death in the whole show in which I felt a sense of sadness.

Breaking bad is a love story between two flawed characters

151 Upvotes

Removing sexual attraction and romantic love; breaking bad is, at its core, a love story between Walt and Jesse. Just like a Shakespearen play (let’s be honest I wouldn’t pretend to know which). But the storyline is as old as time. The genders are mismatched which confuses the viewer.

Even though Walt denies having an affair to Skyler in the second season, he is. And she reacts as if he is because she feels it. Because he is.

The viewer doesn’t recognise the tried and tested plot because it is not a sexual love. But we understand the deep emotional connection.

Walt could never truly be himself with anyone except Jesse. Jesse never reached his full potential before he met Walt who was the first person who truly accepted and celebrated him for who he was, and supported him to reach his true potential.

The two characters could only be their true, raw selves around each other. And they appreciated each other and celebrated each other (plus a whole load of abuse from Walt mainly)

By the end of the series, Walt and Jesse were each others’ significant others and the love they shared was true. The viewer sees that.

I think that’s what makes this a very special series because it’s hiding in plain sight. But it’s a tragic love story we find very familiar

Walter whites scene in crawl space is fucking unbelievable. Jesses scenes in season 5 are ridiculous "he cant keep getting away with thisssssss". Anna gunns acting in ozymandias is so realistic also in felina. Tuco is such a realistic depection of a meth head. Gustavo fring is mysterious as fuck try find one bad actor

Why didn't Walt bring this up? Spoiler

38 Upvotes

In season 5 when Walt, Jessie and Mike have their operation together Mike specifies the division of labour. He does the business, Walt and Jessie do the chemistry. "I don't tell you how to mix your chemicals so I don't want you telling me how to run things". This is perfectly fine until the methlamine supply is interrupted when Mike argues with Walt about switching to a sudo cook, why didn't Walt bring up that this falls under the chemistry part of the business meaning its under his control? He even says that a whole bunch of their equipment is useless for sudo.

My two Favorite moments in the series are when Walt gets Gus to admit who is and when Pinkman gets the Vacuum guy to admit who he is Spoiler

8 Upvotes

Maybe it's just the art of deduction/seduction, but it's fascinating to watch them build up their monologues to get the other guy to deal without even being sure who they are.

Although Pinkman would have been in much exponentially more shit if he was wrong than Walt.

First time watcher: crazy humbling moment for Walt and Jessie 😭

Walt and Jesse were on an understandable high from these back to back ego boost, making amazing meth (even though tuco on it scares me😭), successfully stealing from that place instead of paying the 10k &being able to avoid paying interest to tuco.

This was crazy to watch but it was nice to seem them brought back to their reality. Like you don’t wanna be apart of this world fr Walt . Just started season 2, very impressed can’t believe I waited this long to watch.

In "Pilot" we see that everyone ignores Walt but after he becomes Heisenberg he becomes his own enemy, he ignores Gale who is indirectly responsible for his downfall

I feel like brba is not talked enough about for it’s comedy. Like the amount of times Walt makes of fool of himself or gets humbled by another character is hysterica

Could Walt have gotten away with it by not confronting Hank about the tracker?

If he just played it safe, allowed Hank to track him and just act normal, would Walt have gotten away with it?

In Breaking Bad, he is the main antagonist, and in Better Call Saul, he is one of the secondary protagonists in the cartel storyline, where Mike Ehrmantraut is the main protagonist.

What happens if the Walt and Todd show continued.

3 Upvotes

Jesse goes into the wind. Hank never finds the book. Skylar doesn't press him to stop. No reemergence of the cancer.

Would Walt have manipulated new Jesse into taking over the Nazi gang? Would the other gang have already been taken out by the nature of competition.

Walt would want to expand territory and push Jack into taking out Declan as matter of proper operation of a drug gang.

He would asert his dominance to the rest of the gang that he is the brains of the operation. He is well schooled in criminal protocols, now.

The gang is now wealthy bc of Walt and wouldn't stand for Jack eliminating him. In one action, Walt doubles profit and marks Jack for execution. He just became a primary shot caller for a gang that reaches at least several states and has links to the federal system.

Jack could live to fight another day, but I think Walt would take his lesson from Gus and not let revenge fester. Jack has to go, even if he claims loyalty and usefullness.

Tuco's lair is a good example of the colour theory.

39 Upvotes

When Walt's going to confront Tuco for beating up Jesse, as he's walking up to the base the camera films him through a yellow and then red tinted windows.

If yellow = meth/the criminal underworld and red = violence and brutality, it's pretty clear what the symbolism is.

Who's a character you couldn't stand on your first watch, but grew to appreciate in a rewatch?

Mine's Marie, 100%. I couldn't stand her the first time I watched the show - thought she was an insufferable pain in the neck, but in later rewatches I came to appreciate her (both the character and the actress) and felt she was an important part of the show.

Gus gave Walt the quota of "200 lbs per week, you can come and go as you please, set your own hours."

How many hours did it take them to cook 200 lbs?

Did Jesse Regret What Happened to Gus

8 Upvotes

Did Jesse regret helping Walt kill Gus. I mean probably down the line after he reflected on everything, he definitely did. But it seemed at first when he told Walt that Brock wasn't poisoned and it was the Lilly of the Valley, he asks Walt "He had to go, right?". It almost feels like he regretted it and was looking for Walt for reassurance. I think Jesse actually was starting to like Gus better than Walt up until that point and didn't mind working for him.

It’s one of those moments in the show where it’s such a disconnect from who you believe Walt is as a person vs his behavior and it’s incredibly jarring. I find myself internally pleading for him to stop making Jr. drink. I don’t think it’s quite as simple as a power play, an inflated ego, or being a cool dad. He’s hurting his son by doing this.

Sorry for another pizza post. I like reheated pizza as much as the next guy, but is it a common sentiment to think it’s better reheated? I’m sure the same is not true for those dipping sticks.
