Breaking Bad: The Final 8 episodes

Ugh I didn't like anything about that episode. Jesse is so goddamn emotional and that scene where Hank comes in and stops him from burning the house down was a little corny, imo.

 

He's emotional?! You mean he's traumatized and cranked out on coke? Yeah that'll happen. Then he's slipped 2 sleeping pills. Hank was following him after he called off the trail from gomez's guys. How's that corny or unbelievable?!

 

Yea, it'll happen bc he's emotional. It wasn't unbelievable I just didn't like how they shot that standoff at Walt's house. Looked very generic for this show.

 

Funny thing is I called it. 15 mins into the show I paused it and looked at my wife and said "where's Jesse?! They can't find him anywhere!! Hank has him. Hank stopped him from setting the house a blaze". Once hank walked in I paused it again and danced celebrating my "guess". Then proceeded to incorrectly guess the rest of the episode lol.

 

I was hoping Todd's people had him and Walt had to get him back.

 

Also, a pump malfunction? Come on man.

 

Yeah I thought it was funny that after Walt told the family his story, Walt Jr. comes up with an even better lie.

Weak episode, but not really surprising considering its a holiday.

They were both terrible. If I was him I'd of just said I was carrying a container and it had a leak in it.

It's annoying that Walt thinks on his feet so fast w his Heisenberg dealings but comes up with the worst lies and acting for his family.

 

I think that's the point. No matter how he acts or is viewed in the outside world he'll always be regular normal Walter White at home to his family.

 

I get that but I don't think it's realistic. He's not bipolar.

 

How isn't it realistic? There aren't people you know that you can't lie to? No matter how good the story is they see right through it? Or how some people you know see you one way but others who are closer to you see you another?

I think the show has been very consistent in showing no matter how powerful Walt gets in the drug world he still makes stupid mistakes (like leaving the book in the bathroom) or still sometimes is unsure of himself especially when dealing with his family life.

 

I'm not sure Walt leaving his book, in his personal bathroom, is a "mistake." It's not as if he left it on the coffee table.


This season is not playing out like I expected. Instead of Walt going over the edge and becoming the "villain," he's actually becoming more... Walter-esque. While everyone is trying to get him to kill Jesse, he's the one trying to hold them off. Walt has corrupted everyone around him, while trying to revert back into his old life. I think it's a pretty interesting turn of events.

 

Not really. And either way that lie last night was just pathetic.

The book is another incredibly stupid mistake. I just find things like that hard to buy when they show how calculating and fast Walt can think on his feet.

 

Hes still turned into the villain for me...entire show ive rooted for him. now he just pisses me off. I wish jesse would off him.

 

How many more episodes?

I finished the the entire show show available on Netflix, and we're waiting for the final episode, because I assume they'll replay this half season leading up to it. Then I can record the whole thing.

 

Four episodes left.

I still have no idea how it's going to end, and how we're going to get to Walt visiting his derelict house for the ricin from where we are now.

 

I thought the faking he and his family's death angle was a good theory.

That'd explain his neighbor ****ting herself when she saw him.

Imagine winning this. I'd be like...

 

I think he's too far lost as Heisnberg, he isnt good at "acting" like normal Walt anymore, hence the crappy lying and weird actions. He doesnt know how to be Walt anymore.

 

I think that's certainly part of it. He's really changed a lot since that first episode of the series but the one thing the show has been consistent about is that he's always been a crappy liar and acts weird in front of his family. I mean just think back to some of his original lies to Skylar before she found out the truth about him, they were all off the wall.

The show has also consistently shown that no matter how deep he gets and the more power/money he comes into, he's still at times very much an amateur (which realistically makes sense since he's only been doing this for what 2 years now?). From leaving the book in the bathroom, the sloppyness in taking out Mike, screwing things up with Gus in the first place, when he goes into his house in the last episode because he thinks Jesse is in there he's fumbling around to sneak in from the backyard going over the fence etc.

 

Exactly, he's not going to go from coughing high school teacher to James Bond over night. He is a goon with a bit of experience now.

 

I get all that but of all the huge problems he has to deal with (most of them he handles really well), he gets stumped by ****ing gas and comes up w "pump malfunction."

That was still just very weak.

 

Just for funsies, what would you think would be a better story?

 

I don't think you have to be James Bond to make a better lie than pump malfunction when you have hours to think about it.

This same guy was smart enough to build a battery, bombs, lie convincingly in the past, save people's lives with split second decisions, etc.

 

Like I said, why wouldn't you just say you dropped a gas can or it was leaking?

Story is less corny and you could still have Skylar be very suspicious of them having to go to a hotel and everything.

 

Why would he have a gas can in the house?

 

He could say someone had to do some work on the pool and had a generator or something. Could of had Saul set him up with a fake pool repair crew if he wanted and blamed it on them.

I'm not James Bond but tell me that doesn't sound better?

 

I think you're just overthinking things if something like this is bugging you, especially when the show has established already numerous times that Walt's a bad liar to his family.

 

Nope not really, it just leads to more questions, in my opinion. Like what's wrong with the pool? Why didn't you tell me about this before? When did it start happening? You got a pool repair crew to come out right away? Etc.

 

Well he was also in a time crunch considering his original plan was to just get rid of it and not worry about a story. I also think there is an element that of him that just doesn't care enough when lying to his family to go to those depths of contacting Saul and getting him to organize a crew quickly. There is nothing wrong with the pump story.

 

I agree. It sounds like something like that could happen. I just think his delivery and story telling was wrong. Skylar saw right through it because she knows Walt and when he's lying because he's lied to her enough in the past 2 years. Walt Jr. believed it for the most part. I don't think there could be any made up story that Walt could have said that would have made Skylar believe him because of everything they have been through already and she knows what he's capable of.

 

Sounds like Slick is the type that doesnt buy a huge 4 bedroom house, because the door knobs are bronze and not silver....

 

lol And you think pump malfunction is more believable? Come on.

He could easily of fooled Walter JR w something like that. Skylar probably not but you could still have the same angle you do now then.

 

Then I've gotta say you guys are totally biased. That story and how he told it or even ever thought it'd sound anywhere close to convincing was awful.

There's nothing wrong w liking a show and still being able to be critical of it.
