Gus was doing his best to replace Walt and Jesse since season 3. With Gale first. Then the deal with the drug pair and Tomas and Jesse. Then playing Jesse against Walt to have Jesse eventually agree to takeover. Walt was in survival mode as he saw what Gus was trying to do. Gus needed Jesse, so did Walt. Walt won.
when Walt let jesse’s girlfriend die right after he let the handcuffed guy die, ir killed him, I was done with Walt.
Will Hank die? I kept yelling where is his backup in the last episode.
Walt did have a history with his rich former partner’s wife.
And I had cancer, was supposed to die and what I wanted was love to be there for the people I thought I was leaving. And I trusted all of them to step up and takr care of themselves and God to pitch in. Never once did I think of money. Now I am not a man and maybe they think that way. But my husband trusts all of us to take care of business.
The lines between mild-mannered school teacher Mr White and notorious Crystal Blue Meth maker Heisenberg are rather blurry.
I think the last time Heisenberg made a true appearance was when he met with Lydia at the coffee shop.
Or wait! Didn’t Walt put on “the hat” as he and Skylar left Hank and Marie with that DVD?
Just. Too. Cool.
my original twist, before the first season 5 episode with him and the machine gun scene,
I thought Walt would wind up isolated and alone somewhere, making meth in small quantities from capsules again, and selling it himself, only to die in an alley, killed by a junkie he just sold to.
but that’s not how it will end now.
Once we knew that Walt actually did poison Brock - we knew that *he knew* it was only temporary (since Walt knows his chemistry)...however - I didn’t see any purpose to it, really. I remember Jesse actually blaming himself for it, thinking it was the “ricin” (and then Walt letting him blame himself), but I still don’t remember seeing any reason behind why Walt did poison the little boy.
It had to have been to get a reaction from Jesse.
I may have to watch some past episodes again.
Walt needs the porkpie hat to properly be Heisenberg.
I've read that Gilligan doesn't waste any scenery. Sooo, I'm wondering where the Teddy Bear eye is rolling around, what Jesse really did when he asked to take a piss while at Hank's place, and did Walt pass anything to Jesse when he butted him while handcuffed and after accusing Jesse of being a coward.
yeah, I saw a copy of this where they showed what they were singing in english. The only phrase I remember was that he - Heisenberg (and Jesse) - were dead but they just didn’t know it yet.
You both crack me up Mr. K and Lazamataz...
I thought it was great that he freaked out so easily seeing the brain-splattered photo. Sure, he comes off as cool and collected, but inside I think he’s a bit of a teddy bear. Every one is intimidated by his size and appearance, but he never really showed a mean streak or propensity for being vicious. He just gets by in this criminal world because people assume he’s a “bad dude”, and now we find out he’s really kind of a softie.
He calculated out about roughly $750,000 was what he needed for college, house, family to be secure, etc. Originally.
He had almost had it, but the cancer ate a lot of it away, and then Hank’s illness - almost 200 grand - and then paying Ted’s tax bill which was 622,000, and the money Saul was paid all along the way, the more he thought he got clear, the more he found he was broke. To the poitn in the beginning of season 5 he’s forty grand in the hole.
Remember Jesse had a younger brother he did love and looked out for as best he could. He took the rap for his little brother’s pot, and crushed the joint his brother asked him if he could have back.
I think they play the angle okay. to me probably the weakest part of the believability of Jesse’s character, for me.
I couldn’t find the English translation on Youtube for some reason.
If that’s true it’s either a prequel (if he’s dead) or that means he survives, which would be too bad.
IBD I think estimated Walt’s hidden money as 80 million bucks.
well, Walt is in a different place than before. He’s a LOT more solo now, he’s “retired”, he has no loyal-to-him muscle, he has contract muscle that’s kind of impulsive and not 100% trustworthy, and he’s a lot more out of the loop on stuff without Mike, the organization, the wiretaps, and others watching their backs and his. He’s in a REACTION position rather than a more proactive position he’s been in before. That means way less control, and dealing with a lot more unknowns than he’s used to, making more mistakes than he otherwise would by reacting rather than analyzing and planning carefully.
Oh yeah....Thanks. I was thinking that he was already way over that, though, when he began paying for Hank’s rehab....but I remember that scene under the house when he figured out that Skylar had given all that money to Ted.
This is so damn involved. I love it though. I’m going to be sad to see it go away completely - I think. Bryan Cranston indicated on “Talking Bad” (AMC after-show) that we will all be satisfied with the ending. Whatever that means.
I will admit that after getting used to him on Malcom, it took a while for me to understand his character as Walter White, but he is totally WW now and I don’t think he’ll ever shake that.
that is true, the jacket isn’t black and the hat isn’t worn.
well, he was “retired”.
Walt knew Jane and Jesse would both overdose and die eventually with all that money. And if not with that money, they’d come back and blackmail walt for more money. Jane was bad news. Manipulative little thing. Remember she said “I’m your partner now” to Jesse after she hardballed walt to bring the money over. Even her character they brought out the worst inherent in her, and it destroyed her.
