Television Breaking Bad

Going to watch the finale again tonight. Saw it not on the best print first tune round.

I've seen the ending so many times now. Brilliant choice of song. Well don whoever made that decision.

What? Just because you agree with what a 'genius' has to say, doesn't make you one! I don't get why you're so chuffed about that to be perfectly honest, man!

Also, the 'theory' is complete tosh. Those inaccuracies, e.g. the ricin in the sachet, the snow not being disturbed on the car where Walt hid etc., are scattered everywhere throughout the entire series. Fanbois try to explain them by giving them undue nods to previous subplots/unrelated cultural references, but the fact of the matter is that they are simply plot holes. Minor ones, but plot holes nonetheless.

I think you might be on to something, Sherlock. Interpreting an episode of a TV drama not too dissimilarly to Norm Macdonald doesn't make me a genius. In fact, that would be an absolutely retarded assumption and the fact that you're projecting it onto me says way more about you than me. However, having taken a bit of stick for my theory, there's something pleasing about someone as clever as Norm being on the same page.

I'm not saying it's a flawless interpretation (nor are any of the more literal ones) and I'm not asking anyone to get onboard, it's simply how I saw it as it unfolded and it's how I see it now. That said, I'm obviously a layman compared to some of you crazy bastards who spend your time reading episode-wikis and whatnot.
 
Just listen to the official podcast. Vince Gilligan talks you through each episode if you're finding it hard to follow.

What's the big deal about the ricin sachet? He had 8 million on him, you don't think he could have gotten that job done?

I find it funny when people see stuff like that as leaps of faiths. He's an evil genius ffs. He can't find a way to get poison into a pouch?

Explain it to us so, brainiac.

There is no logical explanation as to how he managed to do it, what with being one of the most sought after criminals in the country. The fact the writers left out the scene that would actually explain how he managed it leads us to believe it would have been a shambolic case of deus ex machina.
 
Why can't he get an "ingredient" into a little pouch? Does it sound extremely hard to you?

really? xd
 
But but but George you must provide logical explanation of putting a powder in a pouch, because you know, how unprecedented that is.
 
:lol: I mean but HOW? Ricin... Inside.. Pouch... *explosion of the brain*

He paid one of the coffee monkeys a small portion of his $9,000,000 to give a particular sachet to a particular customer?

He sat down at the table and made a simple switch via sleight of hand?

Do you really need to have your hand held through a visual explanation of exactly how everything happens to a surgical degree before you believe that it might have... you know... happened?

I'm surprised you haven't brought up the fact that no flashback was depicted showing how Walter White first learnt to talk. OMG does he know how to talk?!

Use your fecking imagination, you retard.
 
:lol:

There are some hypersensitive retards in this thread! Of course I'm aware that Walt used to meet Lydia at the same table, in the same café, at the same time every week (he didn't know she did it with Todd, rather just assumed) and that's how he'd get the chance to poison her with the ricin. A fecking braindead chimp can deduct that from watching the show. feck, Walt even spells it out for her in the phone call at the end of 'Felina'.

The part that is a little ridiculous is how Walt got the ricin into a seemingly normal sachet of coffee sweetener and had it re-sealed perfectly, with no visible perforations. It was a paper sachet after all.

Also, how did he know she, or the waiter, would choose that exact sachet? That's probably even more difficult to execute.

Why can't people just accept that it is an example of deus ex machina/plot hole without reacting like the person raising the issue has shagged their grandmother?
 
The ricin sachet was already at the table, wasn't it? It was the only one there so she had to ask for more.
 
You're looking into it too much.

Walt could have easily paid the waiter to give the sachet to Lydia. And you really think re-sealing something would be that big a of a deal for Walt? Really??

What's perhaps a plot hole is couldn't Lydia have got herself treated after Walt told her about the ricin?

Why should people accept it when it makes no sense? Should we accept it just because you're saying it? It doesn't seem like something Would be very hard to pull off. Just because people don't agree with your take, doesn't make their response overly sensitive.
 
Yeah, brainiacs. Explain how he did it so, you bunch of cnuts.
 
I don't know why you guys are all acting like this. I mentioned that the delivery method of poisoning Lydia was sketchy at best (how Walt deducted how to locate Lydia was perfectly fine) and you all said that it was simple.

An hour later, and still not one solution offered. Those little green smilies work wonders for your arguments, though.
 
It's fairly obvious that Walt removed every single packet of stevia in the vicinity leaving only the solitary packet that moments earlier he'd taken into the rest room making a slight tear for the ricin and then re - sealed possibly using pritt stick and a tiny piece of white paper.

I'm sure there is also an hilarious cut scene where some old dear tries to use that very packet and Walt has to wrestle it out of her hands. Look for that on the dvd.

I think we should organize a worldwide round table conference with the brightest minds in the world to deduce a solution to this unbreakable puzzle.

Fair enough.

Definitely the best theory here so far.

LOL

I missed the part where it was reported to have been resealed perfectly.

Typically I just pick up sugar sachets and rip them open; I don't check that they're perfectly sealed beforehand. I'm sure a bit of prit-stick would fool 99.99% of the human population.

Do you really think you'd be able to tell the difference between a perfectly sealed sachet of sugar and one glued after the fact? Even if so, do you really think you'd check?

What the feck is wrong with you? Grow an imagination, chump.

Fair enough.

Now, next question: How did Walt know that Lydia/the waiter would choose that exact sachet?

We're doing well here. We should have these 'round table' discussions more often.

She always asks for more. What do you think happens there, the waiter makes a spread like Paul Daniels and says 'pick a card'? He gives her another sachet and she pours it in her coffee, it's not rocket surgery. Or else, Walt switches the ricin sachet for hers at the table. She obviously doesn't take 100 sachets to the table or else she wouldn't ask for another every single episode featuring Lydia in the coffee shop.
