Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[keybored]

Hmm perhaps. She was pretty shit when Hank got shot though, which I found interesting as she was a nurse but couldn't seem to nurse her husband.

There's something where Hank says "I don't tell you which lead bib to put on your patients" (or something) that suggests she works in x-ray or similar, which wouldn't give her the same skill set as say, an occupational therapist. You wouldn't blame a diesel engine specialist for being unable to fix the bodywork on his car after an accident...

 

[Orang Utan]

She's a radiologist - it has been mentioned at least once

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Fair point about the radiologist bit. There's one specific scene I'm thinking of where Hank told Marie to get out after she wouldn't help him with something, I'm actually looking back now trying to find it. If I remember correctly she started out wanting to care for him but then wasn't up to it and wanted to get someone else in instead? Whether that makes her weak or not I dunno but I just kept thinking 'In sickness and in health' and all that jazz.

 

[Orang Utan]

Being a carer is very difficult! I think she's entirely blameless for wanting to get help with it!

 

[D'wards]

He was very sweet! ...Seen him before in a PI role (where he gets hots for unobtainable female lead?) tho couldn't remember which film/show

Think he's a lead in Jackie Brown, iirc

I couldn't help but notice his terrible Blue Harbour jeans. Buying the clothes for characters must be a real skill

i don't get the hate for skyler and marie at all

Yes, he plays Max Cherry. He also plays a cop in Lucky Number Slevin.

Pure misogyny

 

[madamv]

I dunno about that so much ou.

Their personalities are unique and that makes them interesting but not necessarily likeable. They don't fit a pigeonhole female support.

All good in my book but I don't like them

 

[frogwoman]

i thought it was quite clever walt saying those things to skyler in the last episode because it was, word for word, the sort of thing message board ranters were going on about

 

[Jon-of-arc]

In the competition to see who hates those nazis the most, I win because I hate them more than I hate the actual Nazis. Except Todd, who I want to adopt and tame.

i think the writers of BB have done really well in not making one dimensional characters. Especially Walt and Jesse but also skyler imo

 

[neonwilderness]

I've never really warmed to Jessie much, but the poor fucker has had a bit of a rough time in the last few episodes!

Can't wait for next week now, there's so much left to fit into an hour

Walt looks like he is proper dying in the cabin. I hope the cancer doesn't get him before he kills the nazis

Seeing Grechen and Elliott on TV seems to have spurred him on. I suppose he'll be trying to make amends with Skyler and Walt Jn too

 

[frogwoman]

presumably the huge gun is to kill the fash?

 

[neonwilderness]

Hope so!

 

[Orang Utan]

Of course!
I don't hate the Nazis. They had already broken bad before we encounter them

 

[frogwoman]

yeah but you can never hate nazis enough imo

 

[frogwoman]

nazis and paedos are the zombies of the "serious" drama world, you can do whatever you want to them and its fine

 

[Orang Utan]

yeah but you can never hate nazis enough imo

It's like hating a shark.

 

[frogwoman]

It's like hating a shark.

i like sharks tho

 

[Orang Utan]

I quite 'like' the lead Nazi. He has character.

oh yeah, i mean they're great characters, and played really well, they've still got to die tho

 

[neonwilderness]

Todd definitely needs to get it. The others you can kinda see they're just doing their job (whatever you think of that), but there's something a bit more sinister with him.

he's a fucking psycho

What better way for the feds to flush him out of hiding?

it will be so shit if the dea get him

 

[keybored]

I'm reaching, but I think that either:
The DEA got the Schwartzs in to stage that interview and make out that Walt didn't really contribute much to the company at all (to antagonise him) or...
Walt really didn't contribute as much to the company as he always claims. There was an early scene where he was airing his grievances with Gretchen and she was saying she couldn't believe that's how he saw things, but I could be misinterpreting it. I'll have to find that one and watch it again.

Christ that's fucking well OTT. Yeah I hate women because I don't like some female characters on a fictional television show
