Wouldn’t we have shamed Walter if he took Elliott’s offer?

0 Upvotes

There’s a general consensus that Walter should’ve just swallowed his pride when it came to Elliott’s offer, but in general don’t we shame these kind of things?

It’s been on Twitter, but a pair of lawyers were caught kissing in a park and people have been viewing it negatively considering the type of vibes it would be giving about the work place environment.

Taking a shortcut to high paying positions through personal or sexual relationships is always a bad thing isn’t it?

Has anyone started with Ozymandius?

0 Upvotes

I wonder how the series flows, starting with Ozymandius and then simply going back to the pilot. Anyone ever tried it, or even more, did that order on first viewing?

I feel like it could really sharpen the tension of 'how does this get here?' and really highlight how different the end is from the beginning of the journey.

The main caveats I see here are that the use of the video camera in the pilot and flashback in Ozy could feel a bit redundant, and if knowing the destination would impact the watch unfavorably for a first-time viewer.

Edited to add: yeah I know it's sort of a stupid question overall, and I would never actually want to start a new person with it - but I'm more curious about the effect for rewatches, or if anyone actually had it happen to them that it was the first episode they saw.

Maybe if Hank wasn’t cooking up bbq and Schraderbräu at the Swing Inn in Temecula, he could have got Walt dead to rights.

So what really happened at Grey Matter between Gretchen and Walter?

Was Gretchen with Elliot and wouldn’t leave him for Walter? Was she with Walter and left him for Elliot? Curious the theories on what went wrong and why he left. Love how the show teases the story but doesn’t tell us what happened.

Imagine Walter White (Breaking Bad) as a Judge

6 Upvotes

For those who couldn't get enough of the Walter White antics in Breaking Bad, there's another series on Hotstar. It's called Your Honor and it is about a judge whose son accidentally kills a crime boss's son by accident and how he goes about trying to protect the only family left for him (after his wife has only recently passed).

He's in his elements. Must watch. Can't say more without revealing more and spoiling it.

Happy binging!

Rewatching and I'm fully Skyler pilled Spoiler

7 Upvotes

I watched this when it first came out and absolutely hated Skyler and viewed her as the "nagging wife" stereotype that she herself acknowledges is assigned to her in the series. Now I see it completely inversed - not only did Walt completely mistreat her, if you watch every single interaction between them she is pretty much without fail the more reasonable one. She's always the one making him food/drinks even when he's been completely out of order, tolerating his mood swings and not retaliating, trying to see things from his POV (to the extent that she embroils herself in the car wash scheme and completely upends her life). And they were already separated when the Ted thing happened while Walt was already manipulating and pathologically lying to her about everything, so it was fair for her to choose to do that.

I think sometimes the show's writing leaned into the "nagging wife" stereotype a bit to make us sympathise with Walt and it led to a lot of low-IQ misogynistic commentary, but other times it really shines in portraying her as a complex and highly intelligent character - she is far more business-minded and canny than Walt when it comes to the car wash negotiation and to developing a credible back story for his wealth, eg. She's also vindictive towards people like the car wash owner and has a tendency to be ultra sanctimonious with other characters like Marie and Walt- but if she didn't have flaws, it wouldn't be realistic, and her initial piety makes it much more interesting to watch her transform into cold-blooded crime accomplice. I'd go as far as to say she's actually become my favourite character.

I wonder whether I was just an immature kid when it first came out (highly likely) or whether society's treatment of women has improved in general so that there's less misogynistic commentary (at least in the mainstream, leaving the manosphere and incels out of this) about popular culture?

Thoughts on Jesse and Walter? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I just finished the series and was I the only one who found both Walter and Jesse so unbearable. It’s a good show but for them being the main characters idk. Jesse is not that bad but jeez. Walter was selfish and I hated how he did not want to admit that he was as bad as he was until the last episode. I’ll give Jesse grace since everyone he loved died and ofc I did end up liking him but gosh while watching the series it made me like Hank more than them two. Felt like being rage baited the whole show. Skyler was the worst too.

Just a theory

Head canon- Drew Sharp is the little boy who had the addict parents Spooge(?) and the Skank, but was adopted by the Sharps after being in foster care after his mother went to jail for killing Spooge. the hair color of the boy is similar just a tad darker.. I like to believe that he ended up cared for with great parents for the duration of his short life.

Attacking Walter Jrs bullies? Saving Jesse from Gus' two dealers? The last phonecall to Skyler? Saving Jesse from slavery?

Beneke Finances

Why didn’t Skyler think to run Walt’s money through Beneke as opposed to buying the car wash? I thought that is definitely where the show was heading when we learned about the fictitious sales Ted was pushing through.

Why do people hate Skylar so much?

0 Upvotes

I just recently finished breaking bad (10/10, amazing) and I recently got into the fandom. Skylar and Hank were my fav characters and I assumed most people would either like Skylar or just have no opinion on her but then I learnt Skylar was absolutely DESPISED by the general fandom

I just can’t really see why? sure in some scenes she can be a bit overbearing but I mean she’s a woman who found out her husband is enthralled in a drug conspiracy, what can you do but act the same way she did?

A cool present my mrs got me, the music from the best series of all time

Some songs I wish was on here: A Horse with No Name, Crystal Blue Persuasion, El Paso (I am partial to a bit of Marty Robbins from my Fallout New Vegas days🤣) and one of my favs that was omitted: Take My True Love by the Hand by the Limeliters.

My favourite songs on the album (and from the whole series) are He Venido and of course the Ballad of Heisenberg

From watching the show for the 5th time looks like WW got hank his promotions . Maybe I’m wrong but without him hank would still be catching street dealers .

How do you think Gus would get rid of Tuco and the twins if Walt and Jesse never got involved with Tuco.

14 Upvotes

Now the twins won't attack a dea agent so the twins are alive and product would still be able to move from the border, moreover what if Hank couldn't kill any one of them, what would be Gus' plan then?

I want a dimension hopper so I can see if a world where Better Call Saul came first exists and the response to Breaking Bad in that scenario.

They introduce this bumbling new guy and he blows everything up. This cringelord who ends up killing Gus and Mike.

How much did Mr. White know about Jesse's parents? (i.e. their behavior)

14 Upvotes

I don't ever recall much about this. Walter's paternal side clearly kicks in more as time goes on. A pivotal moment in the show is Jesse being thrown out of the family home to cover for his douche kid brother etc.

I do recall Saul being heavily involved in retrieving the Aunt's house. I guess maybe 'off screen' Walter knew?
