Breaking Bad!!

[Yoda Power]

It's a prequell show.

I think a Better Call Saul show could work. He's sort of a comic relief, but there's actually a lot of stuff that hints a lot of stories and complexities about his character. How did he end up like that? Where did he get all those connections? I hope that's the story they'll tell.

 

[Goodfella]

I don't know, he might have complexities, but I don't think it's enough to make an entire show about. I'm not sure if Gilligan is going to be involved with it. If he is, I'd have faith it won't get messed up, but unless I have that assurance, I doubt it'll be that great.

 

[Yoda Power]

It's being developed by Gilligan and Peter Gould (who apparently invented Saul in the first place).

 

[Goodfella]

Oh okay, it'll probably be fine then. I'm just worried that mess up the Breaking Bad legacy with a subpar spinoff.

 

[bhsup]

Oh, don't worry. I'm sure it'll be at least as good as Joanie Loves Chachi.

 

[Goodfella]

That's exactly what I'm worried about. Anyway, new episode on now.

Holy hell.

Spoiler :

And it seems that he's finally going to New Hampshire. When we went into this season I thought it would have been mostly set there, but just two episodes left and he's coming back to get the ricen at some point. My prediction is that the ricen's for Jessie, who's apparently a slave to the nazis now. But at the same time I can't see this ending without the nazis getting killed.

True spoiler. Beware.

Spoiler :

Hank had to die so he could start filming "under the dome".

Spoiler :

I don't think it was just that. Thematically, it's really important in showing how Walt has been defeated and why. One of Walt's greatest assets has been his tenacity in getting what he wants. People may die, money may be lost, kids may be poisoned, but at the end of the day, Walt gets what he wants. Not here. He clearly wanted Hank to live, but he didn't. And ultimately, I think it's tied to his pride. He likes to think of himself, in spite of all that he's done, as basically being a good person. He doesn't perceive his perversity and wickedness and fundamentally bad intentions, and he can't perceive them in others. Hank hints at this in his last words to Walt. This isn't really a new problem for him. In the first few episodes, he desperately wanted to believe that Krazy 8 would act in everyone's mutual interest, failing to recognize the criminal mentality at play. Now Walt has developed that mentality in himself, but he's still blind to it at times.

 

[Goodfella]

Spoiler :

But what's interesting is how Walt took all the credit for killing Hank later in the episode by telling Skyler "he crossed me."

 

[Gucumatz]

Spoiler :

I am guessing its because he didn't want his family to live in fear from neo-nazis ^. As a whole I feel like Walt is a giant monster and it will be interesting to see if dies or doesn't die. Also I read somewhere that everyone Walt ends up killing tends to be foreshadowed by things Walt ends up adopting himself [IE Krazy 8 with cutting the crusts, Gustavo with driving the Volvo, I forget what it was with Mike that I read - but there were a couple of other examples in that theory - if that theory's true, there are some interesting deaths to come...]

 

[Goodfella]

Spoiler :

I don't think he cared about that point. I think he really just had nothing left to fall back on so he just decided to act like a badass. And I thought Walt was driving a chrysler?

 

[de Maistre]

Spoiler :

Walt knew the police would be monitoring the call; he was putting on a persona and taking the blame so that Skyler wouldn't be under suspicion, that's why he was crying.

Spoiler :

In the beginning of the episode he had a lengthy barrel rolling segment after said Chrysler suffered bullet caused gas leakage. He bought a pick up from a Native in the desert. How did you miss that?

Also, yes, he knew the cops were listening so he cleared his wife of all wrongdoing in his badassery speech. He still provides and Skylar knew it.

 

[Goodfella]

Spoiler :

Oh okay, that makes a lot more sense. And no, I didn't miss him buying the truck, I just thought Gucumatz meant that Walt drove a Volvo in general.

I'm only on episode 8 so far. Is meth really that popular in the Czech Republic?
