Breaking Bad

You know he has Cerebral Palsy right? He's not going to understand half of what's going on.

haha I L'dOL

It's just another huge hole that the writers were too lazy or too rushed to fill for the viewer. Just like when Walt is walking into town, it didn't look like there were any tire tracks on one of the shots even though the guy from Jackie Brown just left. Are we to believe he took a different side road or something?

This. Plus the lady at school pulling Flynn out of class to take a phone call. Especially knowing what's going on with the Whites. She would have called the cops to run a trace first.

You are such a moron, words can't even begin to describe you.

... ...still, I would've been in a little more denial if it were my dad. It would've been one of those classic "please tell me it isn't true!" scenarios. Not, "hey I'm gonna just listen to you talk like a re and then throw a fit halfway in!" And him anyway for calling the cops just for wrestling a knife away from his mom who just cut him. If he really thought they were in immediate danger the last thing you should do is get out your phone and call 911 WHILE HE'S STANDING THERE

[HarlemHeat37]

Ya, that's true, I forgot he said the "you're never going to see Hank again" line during the call with Skyler..

It's still annoying though, because during the confrontation with Skyler/Flynn, he also did say that he didn't actually kill Hank, though, and you know, the fact that he didn't even actually kill Hank..

[tp2021]

and you know, the fact that he didn't even actually kill Hank..

While true, why would anyone give Walt the benefit of the doubt? Cuz he has cancer?

[Skull-1]

Perfect way to end the episode.

[Biernutz]

Like a little of B/B memorabilia? From Skyler's Jeep to Hector "Tio" Salamanca's 'Breaking Bad' Bell. Bring
some money.

I have a question. I understand Walt's feelings of resentment toward the Grey Matter duo, but is it ever said what (if anything) those two actually did to him? IIRC, it was Walt's decision to leave the company. Then those two offer him a ton of cash and a job once they find out he's sick, which he refuses because he's too proud and stubborn. But why would people here think he's going after them? What possible reason could there be?

You're dead on. Another potentially significant piece of the puzzle that the writers hope you don't remember. Stephen King uses the same technique in most of his early works. As long as you don't look too hard, the story is great. You just have to suspend reality for a few episodes (or chapters).

It's not that difficult to figure out. In some flashbacks, it was clear that Walt had feelings for Gretchen, and it SEEMED to be mutual. However, Walt and Elliott were college roommates, and in the end, Gretchen and Elliott end up married, not Walt and Gretchen. Do the math. Or maybe I need to do it for cantthinkofanything since he is too stupid to figure out basically anything about this show.

Yeah I was confused on that too..

So he's going to kill them because of that?

ha...you can't even spell his name correct

besides, it's easy to look back and say what should have been. 20/20 is always hindsight.

I can't tell if you're serious in your last few posts or you're trolling being re ed to cover up for the times you were actually re ed.

Look...this is my favorite show of all time. But I'm not so blind that I don't see the numerous plot holes and story line inconsistencies.

[cantthinkofanything]

BTW...did anyone watch Conan last night. They had the cast of BB. It was entertaining but a little odd to see them out of character. Of all the members, I think Aaron Paul is closest to his on screen persona.

[Phillip]

So he's going to kill them because of that?

No, I'm saying I think that is what caused him to be stupidly prideful so as to take a $5,000 buyout of the company.

Hard to say whether he is actually going back for them, or if he is going back because they simply lit that fire of pride under him that he seemingly lost, and he is going back to complete his transformation as "Heisenberg"

Um, no it's been pretty obvious to me since the 1st or 2nd season where they showed that flashback of Walt and Gretchen brainstorming what the human body consists of.

Good point of view there.. Wish this damn show wasn't ending but then again, I'm glad they didn't ruin it by dragging it on too long.

[resistanze]

I thought it was canon that Walt and Gretchen (his former lab assistant) had a relationship in the past, no?

There was a relationship but it never got to the point of being physical. It left both with a sense of regret in wondering what could have been. Both ended up feeling that they "settled" to some degree.

I guess but he's still nothing like him. It's obvious by interviews Paul is trying a little too hard to be the introspective artist type

yeah...maybe so. I'm not trying to discount any of the cast but it seems like several didn't have to make much of a jump to getting in character. Which is probably a indication of the great casting. Bryan Cranston seems to be the farthest away from his on screen persona. Dean Norris appeared to be Hank. I do give props to Mitte for being able to pull of the cerebral palsy thing and then also to stay in character during the interview.

You can thank AMC for that, it was supposed to be 26 eps and they cut it to 16 b/c of budget.

Norris is very similar in Under the Dome as well. Probably not a whole lot different in Starship Troopers either tbh.
