Breaking Bad season 5 part 2 that is really season 6 thread

[CajoleJuice]

Walt's breakdown and reveal as a complete, utter, and pathetic sociopath is glorious.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

to be fair, he was doing a pretty selfless thing with skyler, he knew there were cops on the line

[close]

yep, it was obviously over the top

teevee srs bidness

[fistfulofmetal]

Walt backing out of the driveway into Skyler's car and then how Skyler breaks down in the middle of the street was an amazingly shot sequence.

I didn't catch what Walt was doing on the phone until after.

[CajoleJuice]

Rian Johnson is a good director.

[cool breeze]

Flynn did in 15 seconds what Skylar, Jesse, Hank, Marie, etc. couldn't in months   

[fistfulofmetal]

Rian Johnson is a good director.

It's going to be pretty jarring watching the show in the future because this episode is just ten fold better than the rest in terms of direction.

Also the baby they picked for Holly was pretty believable.

[Himu]

HOLY SHIT, what a powerful episode.

[Tasty]

I honestly hope you're trolling at this point.

Walt deserves to go down, and he deserves to go down hard. I mean fuck, look at Jesse this episode.

[Eel O'Brian]

I can't feel too bad for Jesse, he did shoot a fairly innocent man ("innocent" in the context of the show's world) straight in the face.

[Himu]

I really, really came to respect Walt in this episode. He really does care about his family; that was no lie. The call to Skylar was really well acted. Wow.

[Tasty]

I can't feel too bad for Jesse, he did shoot a fairly innocent man ("innocent" in the context of the show's world) straight in the face.

And he spent almost an entire season dealing with that. Jesse takes the deaths on the show the hardest of anyone.

From Sepinwall's review

A quick review of tonight's "Breaking Bad" coming up just as soon as I sell that hideous crying clown...

"Mama." -Holly

[Tasty]

AWESOM-O is trolling, don't fall for it.

Although, I do think the "Walt needs to go down hard cause I hate him and I can't like him cause he's evil" crowd are a bunch of self righteous pussies. It's a fucking TV show, settle down. Team Walt cause he's an awesome FICTIONAL character. You don't have to prove you're a good person through who you root for in a TV show. I can understand wanting Hank/Jesse/etc. to win but if your reason is "HE'S A TERRIBLE PERSON" then kindly take a stroll on fuck off land.

I'm not self righteous and I accept that it's fictional, lol. But there comes a point when the chickens must come home to roost or else a series like this has failed narratively.

Personally, I like Walt, and I empathize with him. But I also understand he's thinly veiled self-insert bait for the type of person who seems to be just a few bad days away from snapping and painting the office red.

[Himu]

I think you'd have to hard pressed or reaching with the WALT IS A MONSTER thing after this episode.

[Himu]

Jesus is he still going on about what I think he's going on about? I haven't checked.

[Tasty]

Jesus is he still going on about what I think he's going on about? I haven't checked.

I'd just as well murder him in the digital realm at this point, but his salt the next two eps will be pretty delish.

[Tasty]

You two are the worst kinds of fans of fiction. Stop shitting up this thread.

And you're the worst kind of human being. Stop shitting up life, bitch.

[Himu]

Wow, I think I'm going to back out slowly. Too many self serious people upset because people like/don't different things from them. Thought we were past middle school tbh but guess not.

IT'S JUST REALLY IMPORTANT OKAY

Hm, he played me. Damn.

[brawndolicious]

So Walt has no family or connections and he has basically unlimited money. At this point, I'm not sure who he's trying to get revenge for with the machine gun as his family should be safe and the Aryans basically just did their job.

I can't feel too bad for Jesse, he did shoot a fairly innocent man ("innocent" in the context of the show's world) straight in the face.

And he spent almost an entire season dealing with that. Jesse takes the deaths on the show the hardest of anyone.

"I felt bad about that murder for months, Your Honor."

Jesse killed Gale because it was the only way to save Walt and himself. And Gale was already on board with the reasoning that Gus gave for why Walt would no longer be cooking so you could maybe call him neutral but Gale was not an innocent guy.

I think Jesse basically shows the limits of what a "good" person could be pushed to do while Walt was a highly educated scientist and a family man who was always capable of evil things if you gave him the motivation.

Jeese, maybe.

Also, the Aryans still killed Hank.

Also took most of his money.

[Himu]

Fuck the aryans, i think that's the real enemy everyone should be laboring against. let's all put down our swords and agree that jack - and lydia - needs to die.

[Tasty]

Lydia is hot, bro.

 

Also aside from running a drug empire I don't think she's done anything wrong. Well except for having those other guys killed.

[Sausage]

I can't even get mad at Lydia for getting paranoid with Mike's guys now. The hazard pay situation was fucked.

[meni stronk]

laughed at Walt just dipping out with the baby. wtf.

Tell me how Jack is worse than Todd tho

[Phoenix Dark]

While I'm glad that Walt's descent is now completely undeniable, even for the fiercest #TeamWalt loser...at the same time is it wrong that I was happy to see Marie's smug smile wiped off her face 

Classic episode. Hank


also attention David Benioff and DB Weiss: see how showing the aftermath of torture+good acting is dramatically more effective than torture porn? Take notes, you fucking idiots.

[StealthFan]

Todd is the poster child for the danger of Aspergers.

that's one example of Jesse being not a so good dude.  Jesse is the guy who sold meth to recovering users at rehab.
 
not saying he deserves what happened to him, but he's not a saint like poor gomez.  poor poor gomie.  his final contribution to the series was dying just far enough away from hank to create some drama.

Walt-hater privilege is not having your morals questioned by a man who beat his own mother.

Walt-hater privilege is being able to log into a message board and be pretty certain of finding people who agree with your views.

Walt-hater privilege is being able to read columns by television critics and find that they represent you and what you stand for.

Walt-hater privilege is not having your sanity not-so-jokingly questioned because of your choice of a television character to support.

Walt-hater privilege is not having the creator of your favorite show deliberately try to alienate you.

Walt-hater privilege is being able to express your opinions online without fear of being called a troll.

Privilege comes in many forms. Learn to recognize it where it exists. Together we can create a more open-minded world.

Jesse ending up as some kind of meth cook slave would be pretty funny.

"because," and how guilty he felt afterwards doesn't really matter

you guys can make all the excuses and reasons you want, and at the end of it he still looked a man in the eyes and shot him in the face while he was begging for his life

i'm just sayin' no one should really be rooting for walt or jesse when you get right down to it, they're both pretty scummy

the show's a beautiful slow-motion train wreck that's lasted five years

[CatsCatsCats]

I honestly wouldn't have minded if that was the last episode.

[fistfulofmetal]

Someone needs to gif the shot of Skyler running down the street after Walt and then collapsing to her knees.

[Fifstar]

Eh? The scene after he exposed Jesse and told him how Jane died, I  hated him as much as any time before and just thought, "why don't you just put a bullet through your head". Of course, he didn't have much choice given how things went, but that still felt like the most despicable moment of the show, just full on hatred from Walt.

He also broke down when they killed Hank. What he said to Jesse was pure vengeance and I don't blame him for that. Also him making the phone call to get the heat off his family and basically give them evidence to know what he did.

do people enjoy rian johnson's "hey ma, i'm directing!" style? cause i've got a few second second year film school projects you might wanna see.

i will say that his try-hard direction perfectly compliments his try-hard writing.

[Himu]

What was exactly try hard about it? The intro is pretty stupid, I agree. But the rest?

[headwalk]

all of his episodes are dotted with dumb excessive camera movement, contrived angles and artificial composition. all these things can work well when used tastefully and within context, but he just kinda churns them all into a schizophrenic mess.

if you're making a leone film, sure, have a heavy hand in direction. you're essentially painting a romanticised fantasy anyway. but with an episodic sorta kinda realistic TV drama, it just takes me way the hell out of it; even if it's done well.

it's like a super wanky pentatonic solo. it looks impressive at first, but a couple of years at guitar school and you'll never want to hear one again.

i'd argue that in a show like this, you shouldn't be noticing the direction at all.

[brawndolicious]

Gomez was the poster child for the idiotic war on drugs. He seemed like a decent human being, but he was just another casualty of our senseless drug policy.

This show tries to avoid the political debate about drugs. There was Gale who basically said that he was a libertarian and supported people being allowed to put whatever they want in their bodies and when Walt once asked Hank if drugs would ever get legalized, Hank said maybe marijuana but never meth.

It's pretty hard to feel that Hank and Gomie died in vain by trying to take down the largest meth producers in the country.

Walt is a monster

Junior is such a little bitch Walt's had to put up with his leeching and cripple shtick for years and this is the thanks he gets? If my old man told me he had 11 million parked outside I wouldn't be asking questions. Although I would be pissed he gave away 70 million trying to save my uncle.
