Breaking Bad discussion here Last week was episode 511
Big inconsistency in the confession. Why would Hank, the so-called “kingpin” need Walter to pay his medical bills?
For all the hype, so far it’s just boring crap - As The World Turns...on meth.
For futher consideration. I realized that the weight of the higher bills in stack are going to compress the lower ones. I think $2-3 billion is more likely.
Okay, why don’t you enlighten us on what you think an example of a compelling drama is?
Why would I need to?
I’m not rating it against other shows, just stating my impression of the final three episodes so far. Boring, depressing, introspective crap. Lack of drive and action, impetus. I had hoped for better. JMHO.
LOL
He picks up the Ricin from his old house to kill himself before/during his M-60 rampage.
Of course every guess I've had about this show has been dead wrong.
Good catch.
Marie explained that in the same episode. Hank (the DEA guy) was injured in that fight with Hector Salamanca's twin nephews (the cartel hitmen with the skull-tipped boots and the shiny axe). Hank's medical insurance didn't cover the level of physical rehabilitation that he needed, so Marie accepted Walt's "gambling money" from Skylar. Hank didn't know about the money at all, much less its source - but his DEA superiors most likely won't buy that explanation.
I have to disagree.
I think Jesse has just lost it over the death of the young boy. Walt seems unfazed by it; and, I think that also bothers Jesse. Walt gives Jesse his "cut"; Jesse looks at it as blood money and literally, throws it away.
I really don't see Jesse getting back into the business. I do, however, see a possibility of Jesse offing Walt--- just to make it stop.
Why would you need to? As far as I am concernced naysaying is easy for someone withut a concrete opinion to compare or contrast. i.e...credibility = zero.
Laughing so hard here I can barely breathe-—thanks for that link.

Please put me on the ping list.
Thanks.

The question (and it’s a good one) isn’t why Hank the DEA agent needed Walter to pay his medical bills. The question is why Hank would have needed Walt to pay his medical bills if everything else in Walt’s confession was true. The way Walt tells it on the tape, Hank built a meth empire, and “sold [Walt] into servitude,” making meth for Gus Fring. If that’s the case, then it would seem that Hank would have made as much, if not significantly more, money than Walt - so, why would Hank have needed Walt to pay the bills?
I recently started re-watching "Breaking Bad" from Season 1 on Netflix streaming. There was so much I missed the first time around - now all the plot lines are falling together nicely. Turn on captions - the show is so tightly written that you don't want to miss a thing.
95% of what is on TV is garbage but this show is one of the few exceptions. I know many conservatives are turned off by the subject matter but the show does not glorify methamphetamine use at all. In fact, it should scare any normal person away from it for good.
I have been watching this show since Season 1 Episode 1, and can honestly say this is some of best televison I have seen since the X Files.
Do you have Netflix. If you do, start from the beginning, and you will see what I mean.
Read that the writer said in an interview that the ending would be a bang up total surprise
..and that we’d be pleased.
Money laundering. If Hank is the king pin he’s doing a good job of living within his means and not drawing attention, so where ever he has the money it’s not readily accessed. Now he’s got medical bills that he can’t “afford” to pay with his documented income. The fix for that is having his relative, whose “additional” income has been laundered to some extent, pay. Keeps everything nice and explicable, just the way the IRS and IA like it.
It is a good question. Maybe Hank was laundering all the operation’s cash through the White’s carwash, which he made Walt set up, especially for that purpose? The cover story about Walt’s ‘gambling addiction money’ works just as well for a ‘badguy’ Hank as it does Walt, I suppose. If Hank told any of his buds at work about his crazy brother in law Walt’s supposed addiction, it would look like Hank was making it up out of whole cloth as a way to cover the cash injection?
