Can't remember exactly when as I haven't watched it in ages but I definitely turned on Walt for a while. I think it may have been when he needlessly killed Mike.
Television Breaking Bad
- Thread starter Burndogg
- Start date
Haven't watched it in a while but I think around when he effectively let Jesse's girlfriend die. After then it was a case of 'let's see if he redeems himself'.
He did lot of bad things, but killing Mike was the worst.
Mike wasn't exactly innocent, and he'd done plenty of bad shit before that.
Letting Jane die was a big moment.

About three episodes in, I think. Some of my tweets about it popped up on Timehop not long ago, as I marathoned the first few seasons, and my "Skyler is really annoying" tweet came very early on.
The first episode when he wore that awful green shirt.
He did some terrible things in the earlier seasons (Jane and Gale especially) but you could always kinda understand why he did them and he usually had the best interests of his close ones in mind. Mike's death seemed to me like it was the first time he needlessly killed someone that he was friends with at one point. It was also around that time when you could see his mindset was changing and he was no longer doing it just to provide for his family.
The first part of season 5 for me. Like sausages said, that was the point for me when you realize he was no longer doing this for his family. Part 1 of season 5 actually took some of the gloss off Breaking Bad for me. Part 2 made me love it again. That being said, if I re-watched the show again I'd prolly really like those first 8 eplisodes of season 5. Just at the time, Walt's personality shift seemed too severe and pointless to me.
Pretty early on, as he begins to be a dick to Jesse. I sided with Jesse for the rest of the series, who gets a pretty raw deal throughout, usually because of Walt.
Might be wrong but I don't think I was ever fully against him. As far as I was concerned he could kill anyone on the show and I'd still kind of be rooting for him.
"I'm the one that knocks!" Or whatever the actual quote was..
That's definitely a good call on pinning down a point.
I think we started seeing a shift in his mentality when he was giving Junior the tequila.
Jesse was an idiot.
He's the best meth cook in North America you bum!
And Walt became progressively more evil as the series goes on. I'm on the idiots side.
I've just started season 5. My God Skyler is annoying!
Oh, and Jesse is an idiot. His growing consience is tedious as feck.

Dint you want to throat punch her. She obviously has a clue but she's so up her own ass. The most annoying girl on tv.
If my wife was so clueless I think I'd down her in the pool.
One of the most shocking scenes in the history of TV.
Agreed. I'd been through too much with Walt to ditch him, even when it became clear he had been completely corrupted.
Have you watched the walking dead?
Getting tempted to rewatch this recently.
Oh, there's no going against Walt!
Although I had sympathy with Jesse when he screamed "HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!", completely at the end of his rope.
Look at the state of him

I'm at the end of the episode where they arrested Walt in the desert. And I bloody hate Jesse atm
The most shocking thing about TWD is the writing
No it's Lucille
Made my decision. I'm watching this again, starting from tonight. Considered watching The Wire again as it's free (Sky box sets) but I watched that less than a year ago. Been nearly three years since I watched Breaking Bad and while my memory of what happened in it, is hazy, but I know it was fecking awesome.
I should say, this a pretty big step for me. I almost never watch a film twice given the choice, never mind a tv show with 60 episodes.

Good choice. I've done it as well, last summer. You're not going to regret it
Just watch season 2 episode 12.
Feck, never realised it was Walt that killed Jane. I thought he just came in and happened to see her die.
Never noticed has she told Jesse to go on his side (in an earlier scene) so he doesn't choke. Walt knocked her over, albeit accidentally but made made no attempt to put her back on her side. Fecckkk.

But yeah, riveting stuff!It was so obvious watching it second time around, but I never realised when I first watched.
Didn't think I'd enjoy it so much second time around.

Just started rewatching today. How anyone can say Season One is slow is beyond me.
Crazy revisionism to say the least, usually in defence of how slow Better Call Saul was for two seasons.
S1 has the best re-watch value IMO.
Was exactly what I was thinking. Think someone in the Better Call Saul thread said season 1 of BB is just as slow. Absolute nonsense watching it backm
Funny to see this bumped, I'm 4 episodes into rewatch. God it's good.
Wait, is everyone on the caf rewatching BB at the moment?
May rewatch it again myself. Incredible series.
