Shall we anticipate the FIFTH SEASON of the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

Walt demands that the Nazis start adding hot-pink food dye to their product to avoid infringing on his trademark. They agree and shake hands.

back to hot sauce

Excellent CSI meme material here.

Walt rolls up on nazi compound w/ M60, wastes Jack & co., mutters "How's that for ... White power?"

It turns out Walt has just been writing a story about his family this whole time. He never actually cooked meth and became a millionaire, Skyler is the one who died of lung cancer (because SMOKING), Jesse and Wendy are happily married (although Walt always pictured him winding up with someone who died prematurely), and Flynn is actually a lesbian.

an olympic sprinter lesbian.

Walt goes into witness protection and it ends with the first episode of Family Matters

Walt wakes up in bed with Jane Kaczmarek, tells her of his crazy dream where he was a high school teacher-turned meth manufacturer in Albuquerque

important research.

Walt is a tiger. And so it is with god.

you cannot prove that Walt was not a tiger

And it makes for a nicer, tiger-filled story

walter walter burning white
in the meth lab in the night

were you there when they crucified my Walt?

is it me, or did Skyler hint at some causal link as to how he got his lung cancer one episode, only for it to get squashed and not come back up? Not that they need to mine that now, as it's fairly pointless, but he obviously said he'd never smoked, and I seem to remember one episode where Skyler said something like "I SWEAR, IF YOU GOT THIS CANCER FROM WORKING WITH XXX" or something like that, before he cut her off. but my memory is hazy....

Sometimes it causes me to tweet jokes, tweet jokes, tweet jokes.

one thing I noticed on catching the marathon last night - Walt's weird tinnitus/space-out while the dr. is telling him he has cancer = Skyler's weird tinnitus/space-out while the lawyers are talking to her in the last episode

xps she blames it on his work at los alamos, not having the right kind of ventilation hoods, something like that

the marathon is such a bad thing btw, stayed up 2hrs past bedtime watching 1st season

my friend pointed this out while we were watching, apparently there have been tons of specific little references to the pilot this season.

ahh that's what it was. thx.

wonder if the finale is going to be some Last Temptation of Christ shit with Walt snapping to in the doctor's office after being told he has cancer and running around cheering that he can die with dignity now in front of a very stunned doctor.

apparently there have been tons of specific little references to the pilot this season

was half-expecting the native american guy who digs their RV out of the ditch in the first episode to be the guy Walt buys a car from in this past season

It's not any one thing, there are like four or five reasons for him to change his mind and as many motivations not to just give himself up. Walt is mad paranoid, we already know he believes in tying up loose ends and there's no way he'd let a loose end like Jesse keep walking around. That plus hating the idea of Jesse and the Nazis getting rich(er) off his product, compounded by the Grey Matter slight.

That's never how this show has worked and itd be pretty weak if that was their last move... the pressure is on as Walt is driven to desperate measures by... you know, a lot of little things!

Walt also hasn't been knockin on death's door before, which may have a weeeeeeeeee bit to do with the way his brain is functioning now (whereas he was able to plan before knowing he had a future, or at least time to wait things out).

Xpost Choose one that is most important to Walt. One will likely emerge as most important this Sunday on the breaking bad gridiron

it's interesting how in the first two episodes Walt does not mention at all that he's cooking meth/making money for the sake of his family. when Jesse asks him why he's doing it he just says "I am awake". And the cooking meth seems as much a part of just lashing out as beating down some teens or telling his former boss at the carwash to go fuck himself.

xp

ie it seems like from early on his prime motivation was to be a badass/get respect

Otm. So I think/hope they will save that bar scene when we see what Walt actually does.

Hmm - I need to rewatch from the beginning, that's interesting. Part of it is probably that, in his mind, he's lived his life playing by the rules, acted as a decent family man, and has little to show for it but a mountain of debt and people mocking him. The "being awake" was probably a realization that working within the system was fruitless, as there was way more money and success to be found outside of it, and fuck what society thinks because it's dog-eat-dog or whatever BS rationalization he came up with.

It is interesting to see Walt struggle with killing someone in the early going, that whole Krazy 8 bottle episode.

Little things like cancer.

Also kinda like Jane's dad spacing out while on the scopes

(Same audio fx, I mean...different situation obv)

You're saying the reason he changes his mind about turning himself in after he sees his old buddies on TV is... cancer?

screensplain how BB works again

Dude none of those things I mentioned are little things, to Walt they're all huge.

Did you create a backstory for Uncle Jack and Todd? I'm curious as to whether Jack raised Todd and what Todd's parents were like.

Yeah, absolutely. Jesse and I did that. We felt like Todd was in danger as a little boy with a drug-addicted mother — my sister. She had a revolving door of abusive boyfriends that Jack was tired of murdering constantly, so Jack got Todd out of there.

Like if you really don't get why that report would have caused a turnaround in Walt 's behaviour then you just fundamentally don't get the character, or at least a big part of him.

otm I feel like this thread is a bad short story workshop sometimes

Don't look at me I'm pretty much the only one here who hasn't written like 50 posts of hopeful fanfic

This is a pretty good short story workshop imo
