He'll take it as a sacrifice to the Brock God...or maybe as a way of saying sorry to Jesse whilst letting Jesse know that he never intended for Brock to die


Sounds lame. I think the saying sorry ship passed when he decided to leave Jesse with the (what he believed to be at the time) parting words that he'd watched his girlfriend die.

And since then his other bird was executed due largely in part to him using her and Brock to flush Jesse out from hiding. (Does Jesse know this actually?)

We've seen his pride and anger flare up again at the end of the episode and on the off chance he does decide to show some remorse then I expect Jesse to tell him to go feck himself as a bare minimum.
 
The cast and Vince Gilligan were on Conan last night, it is available online for those who want to see it, a google of the terms prime and wire will help you along the way.

I want Bryan Cranston to adopt me.
 
Tempted with that, but I'm a bit weird about seeing actors as themselves outside of their roles. Just a complete immersion breaker for me. Saw 5 minutes of Edie Falco winning an award not long ago and it took about 5 episodes of The Sopranos to get it out my head.
 
The last scene has really confused me a lot.

I actually don't think he will go after either of them, but them saying he means nothing to the company enraged him and the phone call with Flynn just a while back from that together made him feel that no one cares a damn about him anymore while he has spent all this time risking his life for them. He felt genuinely hurt because of those two combined events coming from people who meant a lot to him.

I think they wrote that part mainly to convince the audience that he had experienced something that brought out the reaction from him that led to him returning despite paying loads to disappear earlier and put up with that shit lifestyle and show everyone that what he did all this while hasn't gone to waste and people start respecting him again.


He should kill everyone that has taken him for granted..
 
I can understand Eboue's frustration, for want of a better word, at the Breaking Bad wankathon. It's a fantastic show but sometimes things about it are analysed to the nth degree.

That thread on Reddit is something else altogether. I thought the fanbois posting here were bad!...

Don't see what the issue is really. Some wanna talk more than others, let them be. Don't see how people whining about the overactivity are any better than the ones "guilty" of it. This constant need of taking the moral high ground is honestly cringe-worthy, that too when such trivial things such as TV shows are the topic of discussion!
 
It hasn't even been the best season of Breaking Bad! 4 was.

Some amazing individual episodes but I don't think overall it's clicked together like season 4 did or (the 2 best on my eyes) season 4 of The Wire and Band of Brothers.

Matter of opinions. For me the 5b (if I can call it so) is the best season I have ever seen in a TV show. Strange probably, but I liked first three seasons of the Wire more than the fourth one.
 
Who is taking the moral high ground? I just get annoyed with the Scarface segment of the show's fans or the people who breathlessly post about how every coincidence must have been put there by the writers to make some profound point. Sometime a stupid hat is just a stupid hat. My man John Keats said that. Or something.

That is pretty much your problem. I am not different right now, as I am posting due to getting annoyed, neither adds anything to the thread.

Choose not to read it then.
 
You came in a couple of pages back and acted a tit when people wanted to discuss the actual show. People will always over analyse things and it isn't just this thread where it happens. One of the all time great TV shows is nearly at its end and people want to discuss it in depth. The last 3 episodes in particular have been some of the strongest of the entire show.
 
Seeing as I didn't post in here all day since I returned until my name was specifically mentioned, I think I have. Thanks for your input though.

Keep on being a dick. What else do you expect before entering this thread? As I said, stupid attention seeking stunts.

How about a combination of the two? There are a couple of articles this week by people claiming the 'Scarface' segment (dubbed 'Bad Fans' by the New Yorker) are being deliberately meta-interpreted in-show as Todd & The Nazis. With the scene where they laugh at Jesse crying representing all the people who watch the show for the wrong reasons, and don't care about the moral cost of etc etc etc.

Todd looked very much like the prototypical Bad Fan of “Breaking Bad”: he arrived late in the story, and he saw Walt purely as a kick-ass genius, worthy of worship (like Jesse, he called him Mr. White). Two episodes later, my hunch was confirmed when Todd excitedly re-told the entire Great Train Robbery desert caper to his Nazi uncle, including every single awesome, suspenseful detail but one: that pesky kid he’d shot. Bad Fan recapping in a nutshell! It was a short scene, but one that underlined what we all knew: if you ignore the dead kids, son, you are watching “Breaking Bad” wrong.

this is something that we saw Jesse agonize over for a long time, and an action that the show had taken even longer building up to, and here, it's just fodder for jokes while the Nazis wait for something cooler to happen. They are essentially watching "Breaking Bad," and they've become what Emily Nussbaum from The New Yorker refers to as "the Bad Fan," watching for all the wrong reasons. We care deeply about Jesse Pinkman and his emotional highs and lows; they couldn't possibly care less.

I want to discuss the actual show. I love the show, I think it is fantastic. But instead this thread gets filled with stuff like the glass gif or the skylar Walt mashup square a page back because they are convinced that there is symbolism in everything. Based on the reactions, several others agreed with me so I'm not the only one. If someone posted ridiculous coincidences as part of a larger meaning in their favorite band's new album or some movie they just saw, they would get the same response I gave and no one would think twice. The fact that this show is highly rated shouldn't change that. I really don't know I am discussing television criticism with 24's biggest fan so I'll stay out of this thread till Sunday night.
 
Everything gets over analysed these days. Football gets over analysed. It's what we do here on this forum anyway. Transfers get over analyses. It's part of the times we live in. It doesn't eve deserve a mention.

Discuss it then and people will discuss it with you. If you don't like people who post pictures looking for meanings then ignore it. It really isn't hard.
 
I don't mind Flynn, he's reacting like any son would. I wonder if Walt will get one last chance to speak to him and tell him the truth of what happened. I don't think he will want to die with his son thinking he murdered his uncle.

You still don't have any point here. Some are talking about it more than you think they should or not in the way you think they should, so fecking what? I don't really want to get into this, I don't spend all day in this thread and it ain't my business bothering others on what to do. Seems fecking mental someone can get affected with something as small as this.

That's complete bullshit. "Why don't you just die?" to your father with cancer. Okay.

I'm sorry but if my dad had cancer and he was responsible for killing my uncle, abusing my mother and becoming one of the biggest drug dealers in the US then I would too want him dead.

What are you on about? I'm not affected, I just posted my opinion and that was all. It's not like I'm sitting here with clenched fists because Elvis likes the show a little bit more than I do. This thread is a place to talk about the show. I was asked not to be sarcastic and so I've heeded that advice. Seems like some people just can't stand to hear a negative word about their favorite show.

Go away its not Sunday night.

It's not even about the show, it's about the small time attitude the likes of you are showing thinking it is your responsibility to put the people going overboard with discussions back to their place.

Anyway, keep going.

So you can read minds now? All this discussion has been is some people saying "there are hidden meanings everywhere" and me saying "no there aren't". The way I made my point this morning was kind of obnoxious but I stopped doing that when I was asked to. "The likes of me" "responsibility to put people in their place" where do you come up with this stuff?

It's a disagreement about how the show should be interpreted. I changed my style when asked but a disagreement is all it is.
