r/breakingbad

I’m rewatching for the 10th time or so, and I never noticed, when Mike Jesse and Gus go to Mexico- while at the doctor, Gus first wakes up and walks in the room, he walks normal.
Giancarlo did so well with that role, it is scary how great he was really.
He did everything with such purpose as Gus- every step was robotic.
But when he first comes into the room with Jesse he is loose l, he smiles at the doctor’s protection joke, everything he does in that scene seems like Giancarlo, not Gus.
It makes me wonder…
When Gus is down and out, he is less methodical and robotic. So, is all of the robotic movement planned? Is it a way to intimidate?

I get that Walt’s product is the best and most of you will argue that you can still enjoy his Blue Sky without supporting his actions.

But in reality, this is one of the times you shouldn’t separate the art from the artist. People boycott musicians all the time when they preach hate because their music is an extension of themselves. Buying albums is supporting them and encouraging their hate.

The people purchasing Walt’s meth are supporting and funding a power-hungry narcissist and murderer. I get that fans like Jesse Pinkman will jump to his rescue to defend the behavior of their beloved cook.

But I have to ask. How far are Todd and Jack’s gang willing to go before they start to question the ethics and character of the man they’re working for?

We should get a BCS prequel series about the vet and how he got involved in the criminal world. Start each season with black and white flash forwards showing his life after BCS and tell his story. Also a Kim series of her living in Florida. We can learn about how her life got started there, her interview at Palm Coast Sprinkler (and possibly the origins of Palm Coast Sprinkler), as well as her life after Jimmy's incarceration. Another great idea would be a sitcom about Howard's college days with Patrick Fabian reprising his role.

Watching Breaking Bad now, for the first time, it’s sooooo good! I know I’m a decade late to the party, OPS. Early on in season 4 right now, very hooked, blowing right through all of it.

Funny that Jessie is such a liability now. If Walt wouldn’t have let his girlfriend die Jessie and her would have gone off on their forever vacation and be gone forever, thus eliminating so many of Walt’s future problems. Obviously he didn’t know it at the time, but saving her life (if he could have?) would have really helped him out in the long run!

No matter how you feel about anyone on this show how much you like or hate anybody the absolute biggest fuck up is Jesse not killing Gustavo and Mike while in Mexico
Regardless of how he felt towards Mike and Gustavo, they were unhinged and to save himself and Walter them dying would’ve been the best situation
All he had to do was cap them both with the cartel and it’s a wrap

This feels like a little plot hole to me upon rewatch. I don't think it would be very likely that Walt would be able to make it to New Mexico, let alone show his face and sit around in a Denny's. I'd imagine with security cameras on the highways, they'd have tracked him quickly. Not a huge issue to me, just wanted to point it out because it took me out a bit this watchthrough.>!​!<

Just half an hour ago, I finished watching «Better Call Saul». Long before that, I also watched: «Slippin Jimmy», «Breaking Bad: Mini-Episodes», «El Camino», and of course, «Breaking Bad». Is there anything else related to this that can be viewed?

Spoilers for Phoenix S2 Ep 12 below

Since titles cant have plot points I mean the decision to let Jane die was actually stupid not cruel of Walt. Gus had just told Walt off for being with a junkie and how theyre unpredictable, Jesse said he wont hear from either of them again, also Walt didnt need Jesse as in his mind he was done with the whole Meth thing after this. Jesse leaving on his own accord absolved Walt of guilt while also leaving him solo for future. There was no reason for him to let Jane die even in that mindset.

I know I’m late as hell, but I finally watched Breaking Bad for the first time.

Somehow I managed to stay spoiler-free all these years, so I avoided this sub until I was done. Finished the whole thing today after watching it over the last month and a half whenever I had time.

I don’t really have any deep analysis, just wanted to share that I absolutely loved it. I get why people still talk about this show so much.

Glad I can finally be here without dodging spoilers.

His name contains the elements for silver AND gold. AAron Paul and Aaron PAul.
Make new friends AND keep the old.

When Jesse went to Walt’s house to burn it down and poured gas all over the carpet ,Walter hires a professional cleaning company to clean the mess , but he as the chemistry genius should have known that the gas smell would be impossible to remove as it had penetrated the subfloor .

Me and my wife were rewatching breaking bad and in the episode “shotgun” after they officially own the car wash (which is of monetary value, so this is like walt “getting her a gift”) Skyler suggests that he moves back in, which to us seemed to parallel more of carmela’s character in “sopranos”. AND its the same scene showing her with a new haircut (they even mention the haircut in the scene), which reminded us of carmela’s haircut.

So anyone think this is an intentional decision? Or is it just a coincidence? Regardless we thought it was a cool way to interpret this.

All things considered, the transportation method and setup was pretty damn outstanding for a man of his notoriety. It was well worth the money and honestly pretty nice, if you aren't a fugitive alone and dying of cancer. The Vacuum Man reminds me of those otherworldly skilled characters in films like the Wolf in Pulp Fiction.

We all know tye scene that reoccurs every time Walt celabrates his birthday, the bacon. Then we also have the peanutbutter that we can see Walt eating aswell in the series, but how is this connected to the rise of Heisenberg? Simple, adrenaline and some good chemistry!

In the series we see Walter go from doing smaller crimilan things like stealing school supplies and similar but to the end of the series we see him do stuff that could make the Mexican cartel look good and the cheap copy. But, this is actully pretty logical, he gets an adrenaline kick from it and he slowly needs more to get the same kick becaus he is getting used to it.

So the adrenaline is connected but how? How can we be sure? By the bacon which includes a chemical ingredient that is called L-tyrosine which can be made into dopamine which only fuels adrenaline and the kick you get. It is also found in peanutbutter which he also eat in the series.

So when Walt is eating the bacon and peanut butter it isnt just showing how he takes traits from his victims or how he ages, it also shows how he is littierly fueling his own demise.

If Vince Gilliagn inteded this or not I think it was a pretty cool detail, the bacon we see in the series being connected to Heisenberg and a chemical ingridient that is slowmy eating away at the chemistry teacher.
