I wonder if Walt will fess up about Jane as well. I def will miss Walt and Jessie's comradire, I was watching the 4 days episode when they got stuck in the even and their exchanges were great, especially when Walt says "get all the metal and nuts you can find" and Jesse says "so we're building a robot" and Walt replies "a battery".
I sat at my desk and watched it at my desk, my friend was recently promoted to supervisor, so I can pretty much do whatever as long as the owner isn't there.
I'm thinking Hank somehow gets there before Walt and prevents Jesse from burning down the place. If you see next week's promo, you hear Jesse saying "Mr. White - he's the devil." They don't show it, but I think he's talking to Hank at that point. I think Jesse will start to rat out Walt, and at that point Walt knows he has to bring Jesse down. Just a hunch.
Nope. House was empty except for some kids skateboarding in the pool. I still don't think Jesse helps Hank in any shape or form. Walt will most likely calm him down.
Yeah I remember that scene - that's why my idea was Walt sees him about to burn the house down - guns him down. Walt eliminates Jesse from burning the house to the ground.
I must have been vague - what I meant was that the initial assumption of Brock's illness was ricin poisoning, not Lily of the Valley. Jesse's name is only cleared later, but the ricin intended for Gus was initially thought to have been consumed by Brock. Jesse is racked with guilt at the very idea of losing the cigarette and endangering Brock, despite knowing that Lily of the Valley was the cause of his poisoning. What I meant was that (or at least what I remember) is that the early symptoms were close enough to ricin poisoning that Walt insulated himself further by actually giving Brock Lily of the Valley and not the easier, but more deadly option, of ricin.
About as far away as you get get in the US. It seems cold and remote and suits his depressed state of mind more than the sunny Florida that Saul suggested.
Walt did both...poison the kid with the flower and steal the ricin to make Jesse think he poisoned the kid with his lost ricin while he was getting his brain on drugs moment. That was Walt's Hail Mary play as whoever Jesse chose would've died, so Walt had nothing to lose if Jesse were to kill him himself. The plant Walt kept and was shown at the end tipped the viewer off that Walt was the mastermind.
Can someone make a list of all the really bad things that Walt has done in this show? I feel like the writers want me to consider him some kind of monster, and while I get that he's done a number of things that morally unjustified I just don't see him as a cold, heartless villain. Is that what we're supposed to think of him? I see him like someone who was driven to make some ruthless choices out of self-preservation, but nothing too egregious.
While that is true, we still love walt out of him just being himself. The one thing that the writers put in to drive walts actions is grey matter. As for tonight show, when hank was watching the video i legit had to pick up my jaw, this show keeps getting more and more amazing!
I don't think the writers are trying to make him out to be a monster. I think the point the writers were trying to make was his transformation. How easily it is for Walter to do these extreme measures to "protect" him and his family now compared to how he was in the beginning of the show. He does these things in the blink of an eye while in the first few seasons he was always tentative on doing things.
I didn't consider much of Walt being a monster until they pounded that in with the last 4 episodes. The laundry list he's done to become the undisputed Godfather of Meth is tall (was Michael Corleone a monster?). I was rooting for him to succeed and make it...I still kinda do since I've seen his gradual transformation and watched him grow (fall?). Meth itself is not a pleasant drug. It destroys lives and whatever's in the victim's wake. For Walt to secure a worldwide distribution mechanism and make money wildly beyond his or his family's means has got to signal something that it wasn't about self preservation or any of the bs excuses, but more because he can do it and dominate at something...anything for whatever it takes. Gus was an undisputed monster when he needed to be. Neither have the Scarface personality type. He was calm, collected, and professional 98% of the time. When you saw how he was inside for the other 2%, he wasn't some guy you ****ed around with. Saul and Jessie know that all to well. Also, the show has done a great job making that "monster" portrayal ambiguous by abstracting out the horrors and destruction of the drug trade. You rarely see it directly from Walt, but rather from other power brokers like Gus or the Salamanca family. Except it's the same damn circles if you've been paying attention. And who made it to the top?
No one is going to talk about the confession tape Walt made? What a move, putting the drug accusation back on Hank. It worked since Hank pulled his guys off to trail Jesse. I felt pretty bad for Saul taking that whipping from Jesse. For a second there, I thought we'd seen the last of better call Saul!
This show never ceases to amaze. They play all angles so well, and keep things fresh and moving. I love this show.
