Uhh, you liked a guy who shot and killed an innocent kid, threatened the lives of an unarmed woman and her children, and forced a man into being a meth slave? He's even worse than Walt.
I know you said you are exiting the thread, but we are done when I say we are done. You are right that the show is known for this concept ("changeeee") and that Vince Gilligan endorses it, but what really happens? I don't see how Walt, Jesse, Skyler, Hank, essentially any character changes fundamentally throughout the show. Oh, and if you don't know who I am, maybe your best course would be to tread lightly.
Absolutely- Hank starts out as a blowhard, then they add the PTSD dimension, and then he becomes a monomaniacal freak in pursuit of Walt. Jesse goes through a number of evolutions. But I'm talking primarily about the main character. At each step of the way, Walt generates less and less sympathy- or should. Unless you can equate the death of Krazy 8 with the deaths of 8 prisoners (none of whom we are led to believe killed anyone, they just worked for Gus). I mean, consider the lawyer Waxburger. Sure, he deserved prison- but did he deserve to die? At least with Krazy 8, or Gus, or others, there was a life-or-death self-preservation element. Not sure if you could say that about some of his actions from season 4 on.
You're right. I meant to type "my best advice for you is to troll lightly." I'm just giving you a hard time. Walt clearly goes through transformations throughout the show.
I didn't like him but how cold blooded he was and how innocent he looked was an awesome juxtaposition.
Indeed. Obviously, the dude was an evil SOB, but the character was fascinating. His reaction immediately after Walter had slaughtered his Nazi friends made me chuckle. "Uhh, Mr. White?"
Yeah, got that. On a personal note, it's great that they shot it in a place with a unique feel to it like Albuquerque, and that they used local establishments rather than major chains (except for Denny's, of course). It gave the show a unique flavor. They need to film one in Houston- not just a movie, a show.
All the loose ends were tied up, very satisfying (especially how Jesse kills Todd). The only thing I didn't like was how they killed Andrea, I always thought since there was a big manhunt for Walt, DEA or someone would be there watching the house for Jesse. Or at least she would be informed by the news or police of her danger in association with him, rather than just unlock the door and walk outside? Not the greatest ending ever, although still excellent and certainly on of the best shows ever imo. Sad to see a show this good end, good thing there's still Game of Thrones to watch as a best ever candidate though.
