So, what trait of Jane did Walt take on. What trait of Mike did Walt take on. What trait of Gale did Walt take on. (Yes, Jesse killed him, but Tio killed Gus, too. It was all Walt, no?) Actually, what trait of anyone did Walt take on, aside from Gus, I suppose. Even then, I honestly don't think the are anywhere close to being similar drug lords...and Mike certainly agrees with me. I tend to just watch shows vs theorize about them. But, must admit, I'm having fun watching these theories told in this thread, much like Soap Opera theories. There are so many layers to Soap Opera's, too.
He copied Jane When he said, "Do right by me, Gus... Or I will burn you to the ground." :grin: Walt started taking his drinks like Mike- either neat or on the rocks, I forget which. (that's actually true) And Gale? Reading Leaves of Grass, DUH!!!!
Im pretty sure walt is smart enough to know not to put the bomb there had he felt any hesitation from tio.
after he killed Mike, he had whiskey on the rocks just like Mike did (previous to killing Mike, Walter had whiskey, no rocks) Read more: http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2013/08/br...mes-theories-and-foreshadowing/#ixzz2c68Y2hgd
The legal question is, if you plant a bomb that must be detonated manually, and you are not the one that actually detonates it, and someone is killed, what is your liability?
Oh, right. And Hank even made a point of trying to remember which way when he served him. Now, you're going to make me rewatch the episode when he gets drunk with Jane's dad prior to the plane crash.
Crazy Eight didn't eat the crust on his sandwiches. Walt started doing that. Examples are in season three, when Walt owns his condo and packs his lunch before heading to the laundry facility.
Also, Walt kept that pink teddybears eyeball. Kept it in his drawer. We all know he was indirectly involved in that plane crash that was caused by Jane's father.
I doubt it - Lydia wouldn't really cares where he goes because she knows it's not to cook. The look in Hank's eyes was also telling. This show isn't about coincidences and Lydia planting the same model of tracker that Hank and Walt used on Gus would be a stretch.
I was out in the mountains for a few days with no internet or cable connection, and I found myself thinking about the excellent return of Breaking Bad. There were so many riveting scenes, but the one that kept sticking in my head was the Star Trek conversation with Skinny Pete and Badger. That was such an odd extended scene in an eight episode sprint, but I've learned that nothing is every truly a throw away moment with Vince Gilligan and the writers of this show. Don't know if it's been discussed previously in this thread, and might be a spoiler (since I think Gilligan was tipping his hat in this scene). Spoiler Everyone has been wondering how the hell the Ricin capsule will come into play, and they opened with it in this very episode. We've all been referring to it as Chekhov's Gun for several seasons now. Any coincidence that Badger discusses a pie eating contest between Spock and Chekhov? I don't think so. So Chekhov thinks he's outsmarted Spock but winds up with his guts ripped out in Badger's story. I could definitely see Walt thinking he's fooled someone (Jess, Hank, or someone else), and he winds up getting his guts ripped out instead. Not sure exactly how that would play out, but I think Gilligan was giving us a sly hint of the future. It's the sort of thing the writers of this show do. You see hints of what's to come, and it's a lot clearer when you rewatch episodes. I could see him setting this up where rewatching this episode would elicit "HOLY ****" moments once you know how it all winds up.
I agree that that scene was probably deeper than we think and love that we just have to ride the Breaking Bad wave to find out how it correlates to the story.
