thought it was a Yaris, Anywho, did anyone think it was hilarious how when everybody that Todd knew our cared about died and Todd looks out the window and says "Mr. White....." with no effing emotions. Boy your nazi clan and uncle just freaking died and you say Mr. White... and then get strangled. I absolutely love how emotionless he was in that scene and the whole show.. No wonder Lydia had no idea he had a thing for her.
Yeah, it was pretty odd to see him react the way he did but I found it to be pretty funny. A lot of people call Walt a monster but he really wasnt. He's not a cold blooded killer. Now, Todd on the other hand is a different story. Todd is a sociopath. He is incapable of showing any real empathy, compassion or emotion for that matter. Which makes his character interesting. I guess people like Todd cant help it, they were just born that way. There's probably some chemical inbalance that makes them emotionless monsters.
Did any of you watch Friday Night Lights (tv show)? He was a main character in that. Innocent, dorky friend of star QB. Just an awesome casting for this show. It's like he was still the FNL character, but his soul was removed. Don't know where Uncle Jack came from, but he was amazing as well. Killed (figuratively) in every scene he was in. Hard to made a murderous Nazi entertaining, but Gilligan sure found a way. Inject a small, backwards degree of morals into soulless, reprehensible sociopaths, and you wind up with quite the interesting character. Would love to have seen more of their family tree.
He is still trapped in the safe house. <iframe src="http://www.funnyordie.com/embed/5f24c5785e" width="640" height="400" frameborder="0"></iframe><div style="text-align:left;font-size:x-small;margin-top:0;width:640px;"><a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5f24c5785e/huell-s-rules" title="from Lavell Crawford, Andy Bush, Caleb Swyers, Funny Or Die, Ross Buran, mattmazany, BoTown Sound, and kevinstewart">Huell's Rules</a> from <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/lavell_crawford">Lavell Crawford</a> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?app_id=138711277798&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funnyordie.com%2Fvideos%2F5f24c5785e%2Fhuell-s-rules&send=false&layout=button_count&width=150&show_faces=false&action=like&height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:90px; height:21px; vertical-align:middle;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe> </div>
Michael Bowen has been in a lot of stuff- I think 2 Tarantino movies, I know he was a cop in Jackie Brown along with Michael Keaton - but he lost a lot of weight to play Uncle Jack, that's why he's almost unrecognizable. He was also in Kill Bill- he gets his ass kicked by Uma Thurman in the hospital- or does she kill him? I forget. Trivia: He and Aaron Paul were both in the remake of The Last House on the Left. In that film, Paul's character kills Bowen's character. Now I remember, he was that dude in Valley Girl- holy sh**, from this to Uncle Jack???
How did you prepare to really look the part of this rough ex-con? I got sick, I think. I know I depleted my body of vitamins. It was a choice, and it wasn't medically supervised -- and I think it might have been stupid. But it looked good. (Laughs.) PHOTOS: 'Breaking Bad's' 10 Most Mind-Blowing Episodes What kind of things were you doing? Anytime I was hungry I would fill my stomach with water. As for food, it would literally be a small piece of meat, maybe 2 inches in diameter. Nothing bigger than that. Then one or two vegetables. It was literally a starvation diet. I'm about 180 normally, and when I was doing Django Unchained I didn't want to have any 21st century fat on my body, so I started then and went down to about 167. I read for Breaking Bad and the look worked. I tried to stay at 163-165 the whole year that I worked on Breaking Bad. I wasn't very pleasant to live with. It made it difficult to fall asleep because I'd get these hunger pains in the middle of the night. PHOTOS: 'Breaking Bad': Stars Look Back at 5 Seasons of Acclaimed TV Uncle Jack and Todd were very believable as family. What kind of things did you and Jesse Plemons do offscreen to prepare for this realistic family relationship? He and I created a backstory that we would always talk about. We decided that Jack had a sister -- a drug addict. She had a revolving door of abusive boyfriends. She had a baby, little Todd. Some of them were abusive to him perhaps. I looked at him in this situation in which he would have no chance. As Jack, I think I killed more than a few of the abusive boyfriends. I got tired of doing that and I wanted to rescue the little guy, so I took him out of there. You guys created this backstory just through conversations together? He'd bring something up [from our fictional backstory], and he would ask me a question within that context. I'd riff of that and he'd riff back. We'd do that in the middle of the day or just randomly in the trailers to keep that going. Then you have all of those memories. STORY: 'Breaking Bad' Series Finale: What Hollywood Is Saying Was it hard to say goodbye to Jesse Plemons after creating that bond? The relationship is still there. I think the relationship never dies. We have great talks as Jesse and Michael. We talk about the blues. We talk about philosophy. That's never going to go away. What scene did you have the most fun shooting? When Jack and Kenny (Kevin Rankin) and Todd are in the diner after they wiped out Declan (Louis Ferreira) and his crew. Todd is telling his story, and I look at him as though I'm thinking, "Look how confident he is. Look at how happy he is." That, to me, was the proud father moment. PHOTOS: 'Breaking Bad's' Young Gun: Exclusive Portraits of Aaron Paul You got to be on Breaking Bad until the end. What does that mean to you? I was at the charity screening [at the Hollywood Forever cemetery] last night. I lost myself watching it. I was right there with the crowd when Todd got wiped out. I was yelling and screaming. You could hear the crowd reacting -- that means we did a good job. And when I got blown away and they clapped, I was very satisfied. What was it like shooting that huge blowout scene? It was very sad. You've created this family in a unique, creative environment on this great show. The last day was rough. It was a good day but it was a sad day. We shot it at three in the morning. What was the hardest scene to shoot? The scene where I kill Hank. On the paper I'm looking at it. "OK, OK, it's pretty hard. It's going to be what it is." But on the day, when that was getting close to happening, I was getting very emotional when Dean was talking to Bryan. And Bryan's saying, 'Please, please, please' -- he's pleading for Hank's life. And Dean knows what's happening. Just his eyes -- the clarity in his eyes. I'm glad the camera wasn't on me, because my lip was shaking. I was about ready to cry. It really affected me. PHOTOS: Beyond 'Breaking Bad': What's Next for the Show's Stars Then, not long after, you have to be cheerful because you've found all of Walt's money. I loved those types of moments with him. There were quite a few of those. He's just back to business, but in a funny way. Why was it so hard for you to kill Hank, as an actor? All of the stuff came flooding out. I've been in the game a long time, and I've seen Dean Norris on a lot of auditions. When we were going out for one or two lines, just trying to get some food on the table. And now he's got some success, and he's down on the ground and just kicking ass -- and his eyes are so clear. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/li...r/news+(The+Hollywood+Reporter+-+Top+Stories)
I wish that right before Jessie kills Todd that Walt stops him, tells Todd he killed Lydia, then tells Jessie to finish him. That would've been sweet.
it wasn't really houston, they still filmed it in abq. rewatch her 'houston' headquarters, notice the the scenery.

Breaking Bad Writer: Why It Had to End A rule in the writers’ room was to never force the characters, but to let them take us there — and Walt was taking us to the end of the road By Thomas Schnauz Sept. 29, 201321 Comments Is Breaking Bad really ending? Why? Why not make more?!? I’m a writer for Breaking Bad, and that’s the question I’ve gotten the most over the past year (next to: “Is that food on your lip?”). Believe me, it’s a question I’ve asked myself many, many times. But the answer is pretty simple: a rule in the writers’ room was to never force the characters in any direction, but to let them take us there — and Walt was taking us to the end of the road. I joined the writing staff in Season Three (the Season of the Cousins), and I came to the show as a true fan. The work of the writers, directors, actors and crew was just clicking on all cylinders. And I was tricked by the idea that Walter White was jumping through these extreme hoops for the sake of his family. I cared about him, a man trying to take care of his family, getting corrupted as he did. But then I realized that this character wasn’t changing. Not really. What he was really doing was revealing his true inner nature. As I type that, I know that is my opinion and open to debate. Vince always pitched the now classic line: “Turning Mr. Chips into Scarface.” But when I wrote scenes for Walt, I believed he was Scarface (or in our world, Heisenberg) pretending to be the man society expected him to be. Cancer gave him an excuse not to pretend anymore. And I think, for all the “evil” Walt has done, that’s why we watch and identify with him. All of us, in some aspects of our lives, pretend to be something we’re not. But let’s watch what happens when Walter pulls back the cover. It may be exciting, but it’s damn messy. It’s much safer for all of us stay civilized and watch Walter do it! If we all did it, the world would be like that Star Trek episode with everyone running around yelling “Festival!” and raping each other and stealing each other’s lunch money. I would find some of that highly unpleasant. (MORE: Why You’re Hooked on Breaking Bad) Of course, I’m not saying that all of us have a being as monstrous as Heisenberg inside of us. Some of us do. You know who you are. (You, reading this on the toilet. I’m talking to you.) But look, I’m a boring guy who doesn’t drink or do drugs … but if I didn’t worry about what people thought of me, I’d probably do a few things my mother would not be proud of. I remember the very first pitch of mine that ever made it onto the board (we’d write ideas down on index cards and pin them to a big corkboard). It was: “Walt finds the teddy bear eye in his pool filter.” I was quietly relieved when something I said on that first day of work stuck. We’d cite and steal/borrow from lots of movies — The Godfather, Once Upon a Time in the West, even Rocky — but a movie that came up quite a bit in the room was Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors. A man wrestling with what he has wrought, but in the end, learning to move on. That plastic eyeball came to represent judgment. Walt didn’t have God watching him the same way Martin Landau did in Crimes, but he had that plastic eyeball. As if the souls of everyone who died because of him were staring right at him. We had a scene in an early Season Five episode where Walt found the eyeball again and threw it in the garbage, but that scene fell out and never returned. I wish it had made it in. (That’s how sick we writers get about tying up loose ends — it extends to inanimate objects.) But … Walt lost track of that eyeball. He stopped worrying about what people thought. (MORE: TIME’s Complete Coverage of Breaking Bad’s Final Season) You could almost forget that only two seasons ago, Walt had more of a conscience (well, almost). Remember early in Season Three when Walt, wracked with guilt over the Wayfarer air disaster, put his cash on the BBQ grill and set it on fire? We almost let him burn it! (The initial argument was: “Walt has enough money. We need a reason for him to cook again!”) But the character eventually told us his true nature, and he dumped those flaming bills in the swimming pool to save it all. Jesse is the one with a conscience, tortured by the blood money. Not Walt. He could compartmentalize and rationalize. Walter White was a kingpin, and he was succeeding at it. Up until it went all wrong … And man, is it going wrong for Walt this season. Now everyone — Jesse, Skyler, Junior, Marie and Hank — is paying the price. So perfectly portrayed by master Bryan Cranston, we’re watching Walter reap what he has sown. We were heading toward Crimes and Misdemeanors, but then we steered toward another film we talked about a lot in the writer’s room: Fargo. Walt was almost in the clear, but a persistent cop kept picking at the truth. W.W. in “Leaves of Grass.” We knew if the cancer didn’t get him first, the tower of lies that Walt built would come tumbling down. Sure, we could have ended it with Walt triumphant and sitting at home with his family, and all of his money successfully laundered. But that didn’t feel like Breaking Bad. Of all the outcomes we discussed in the writers’ room, I don’t even think we went that way once. “Ozymandias” was always in the air. We used to think that as soon as Hank found out the truth, the show was over. But it wasn’t. Not quite. It was another moment in the show that ultimately made us realize that Walt had reached the end of his journey … words he speaks to Skyler in the series finale. Once he reaches that point, he has nowhere else to go. His true nature is revealed. So that’s why, sadly, we came to the end. (MORE: Is Heisenberg Dead? Walter White and the Light-Switch Theory of Mortality) Yes, I’m sad it’s over. Really sad. I’m probably miserable to be around. Great crew, amazing cast, best and most fun writers’ room ever. Our genius cinematographer/director Michael Slovis gave us all wrap gifts with a well-known quote from Dr. Seuss attached: “Don’t be sad because it’s over, smile because it happened, b****.” (O.K., it didn’t say “b****.” I added that. I’m a writer, that’s what I do.) So, I’m trying really hard to heed those words and be happy. But unfortunately, like Walt, our true natures eventually come through. http://ideas.time.com/2013/09/29/breaking-bad-writer-why-it-has-to-end/
