I've heard the criticism about Jack being a weak replacement for Gus, and I think more importantly, those people completely miss the point that Walter/Heisenberg has become the villain of season 5. The Jack and his nazis are there to show how far Walter has gone down the bad choice road.

@mwoods4608 Жыл бұрын

Who could replace Gus. It showed how one drug dealer , Gus, was organized, diligent and saw the bigger picture etc. That was what Walt aspired to be. Instead he let his ego ruin everything Walt and Gus both felt invincible. Things went downhill with Jack- he was sloppy, didn't care about business or relationships with "coworkers". This is what Walt ultimately became.

@@JR-me7yk It wasn't some random white trash dude who was Walt's undoing, it was Walt. He made so many bad and flat out sloppy decisions because he felt invincible. Leaving incriminating evidence in his house in plain sight, getting himself into deeper water by not cashing out when the only two people he could trust decided to quit, and of course working with complete and utter human trash who place no value on human life, much less his or anyone else he cared about. He's the one who made Jesse his enemy, he's the one who let Hank find evidenced that confirmed that he was Heisenberg and he was most definitely the one who led Jack directly to his money. Jack didn't outwit Walter, he overpowered him through sheer force because Walter allowed him to. Of course after Walt has been completely humbled by the event and has nothing left to lose, he easily defeats Jack. His fall from the throne in Ozymandias was completely his own fault

The Marie Kleptomaniac arc was actually less meaningless than I originally thought on my first watch. I still do believe that the season 1 stealing plot wasn't planned to go anywhere, but the season 4 reoccurrence was actually some genius writing to get Hank back on the trail of Walt. Right before Marie gets caught stealing in season 4, Hank has pretty much given up on the Heisenberg case as he is bedridden and very busy with his minerals, but after Marie gets caught, this causes detective Roberts to bring Hank Gale's notebook, since Hank owes Roberts a favor for getting Marie out of trouble. This notebook is what puts Hank back on the case and closer than ever to finding Heisenberg. Without Marie's kleptomaniac era, Hank never sees the notebook and most likely never catches Walt. The Breaking Bad writers took a failed plotline from season one and turned it into maybe the most pivotal part of the DEA's search for Heisenberg. Bravo, Vince.

I think the point of Marie stealing even early on was also to challenge the audience. Like how much more upset are we at Marie when we learn she steals, gets her family involved in her crime and then stubbornly refuses to admit the truth when called out on it than we are Walter who is doing the same thing but 100 times worse?

@autumn8987 Жыл бұрын

When Skyler pressed Marie about stealing and told Marie she wanted her sister back, Marie broke down and apologized to skyler. She was willing to set aside her pride and be there for Skyler. This helped her and skyler become close again and they became a strong pair. This is pretty much the opposite of what happens with Skyler and Walter. It's a neat parallel, and it redeems Marie and makes her a strong character

About Season 5, you mentioned that Skyler is suddenly team Walt, and I never felt it myself. I'm pretty sure Walter TNTing a nursing home, anyone would be scared to go against him. Not to mention, she went through extreme amounts of stress that lead to her breaking down in the car wash and her attempt at walking into a body of water in Grand Theft Auto Vice City(sorry for censoring, I don't wanna get flagged). Combine this with having to deal with Beneke's aftermath, I don't think she sides with Walt as much as she's just given up. Ofc, the whole Hank thing exists, and, I don't know if it's implied, it reads like she saw Hank was more interested in getting Walter over helping her, which is probably not going to go well over a person who has been stressed and scared for like a few months. There's also the self-preservation angle of not wanting to mess with the law since she also had a hand in Walt's business. tl;dr homegirl is tired and probably wants a break.

21:41 thank you for mentioning this! Yes, I agree that skyler, before she knew, could be a very frustrating character. Because the audience wanted to go back to the exciting plotlines with Jesse and Walter, because the silent treatment is quite frustrating, because she is too smart to be blind to what's going on, because she acts in a somewhat antagonistic role, being that she's challenging the main characters, -- it resulted in many in audience beginning to dislike her. But then, by the time she knows, is in the scheme, has her own badass moments, acts in ways that all other characters would, I don't understand how people remained hating her. Especially since around this time, your sympathy for Walt is supposed to be dwindling a little. By seasons 4 and 5 (even 3, after Jane's death) the audience begins to take a step back and it slowly gets clearer and clearer, that *even if you still root for him, as a main character*, he is immensely flawed and those who oppose him, those who he hurts, are not antagonists, and should be sympathize with, even if just to a degree. Something that baffles me is the misunderstanding of skylers actions that culminate in Crawl Space. It is painted out to the audience, loud and clear, that she needs Ted to pay this money, *not because she is in love with him, not because she will continue to cheat with him*, but because *if he doesn't, the FBI will be on HER ass too, and they will look into her finances and notice these discrepancies, notice the laundering, and will catch onto Walt's business*. Yet I hear people in my classes and online discussing the show, who act as though she was a terrible bitch for this. Who act like she was completely selfish, when really it was an act for her family and husband, an act of self preservation, that is completely justified within the narrative. Baffles me.

I feel like the reason Gus allowed Walt to interfere with his plans to kill Hank, is because he's confident he can keep things under wraps, and because he wanted to try and convince Jesse that Walt should die

I didn't mind the "lapses" for Jesse, when he had less to do. Because it was in a shifting tide between himself and Mike. By the time they meant to part ways and leave town, they were buddies. That juncture brought something out of both characters we didn't see earlier.

I watched Malcolm In The middle when It first aired and loved Bryan Cranston as Hal. When I watched breaking Bad I thought the casting mad perfect sense, after the series finale on Breaking bad and went back and rewatched Malcom, there is an episode, I can’t remember the exact one but Bryan pulls that quick change of acting in one character to acting in another in a flash the way he seemlessly does between Walt and Heisenberg, It just makes perfect sense, Bryan was always the perfect cast for Walter White.

@@steveharveysmustache3988 the scene was the black dad, Hal, the mom, and I think a couple others from the neighborhood and discussing distracting a security guard for some reason, and they use the words “get rid of him” meaning distract him, and Hal chimes in “ oh you mean, git rid of him” but does it in a Heisenberg voice, then queue the laugh track, “no Hal” from Lois and slap in the arm and conversation continues.

The irony of breaking bad is that Gus chose his revenge over his employees and that’s what got him destroyed. All he had to do was kill those drug dealers, but trying to kill Walt only made things worse.

I'm glad you won the fight for this bro! Love your retrospectives. As to your Season 3 criticism, Saul gave good advice (relative to the universe) about the car wash. Skyler got her pride hurt and refused to listen to him, manipulating Walt into going along with her. So I view it as a sign of Skyler being better than expected at this but also being as petty as the others. She never took him seriously.

Season 2 is my favorite to rewatch over and over. It’s my “comfort season.” “Four Days Out” is, for me, Breaking Bad’s “Pine Barrons.” Perfect, tense, funny episodes relying on the favorite odd couple surviving shenanigans.
