Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Really enjoyed that episode. A few notes.

Colour play - In the hoover shop bunker, Walt's usual odd beige and fawn coloured clothes and Saul's usual bright blocky-coloured shirts and suits are replaced by white T-shirt (Walt) and white shirt/t-shirt (Saul) and black trousers. Is this because at this time these men were in limbo, with no true identity? Saul's identity was presumably lurking in his brightly coloured suitcases waiting to re-emerge in Nebraska (What's in Nebraska? You are. - Great line). I also noticed Saul's suitcases were clearly empty. I'm surprised if such an obvious howler wasn't deliberate (kind of like the deliberate and obvious use of rear projection during driving scenes in modern films). Not to the story, but to the subtext. Or perhaps Saul doesn't need clothes where he's going. Also, when Marie's house got trashed by the fash, there was purple debris everywhere. Whatever that purple thread that's been running since the start signified - it's finished with the death of Hank.

Why New Hampshire? - The titular Granite State. The state motto is 'Live free or die' which seems to sum up Walt's current thinking. I'm betting on the latter.
 
i hope jesse gets to survive

Although I hope that too, I don't see how he can. What does he have to live for? Andrea, Jane? He has nothing. Maybe he could raise Brock, although I can't see social services (the US equivalent) letting him do that.

Good job, I love people who do this sort of analysis on TV programs. I rarely bother, I just think 'Oh, Marie's wearing a purple top' :D
 
Yay! :cool:

Where's this pic from? I saw it and thought I'd seen spoiler city but it didn't happen... Have I missed something?
 
I really do need to get off the internet whilst drunk. Which I am now and was when I first saw the pic... Move along folks there's nothing to see here apart from me being an idiot...
You're not an idiot, it's not "shopped".
 
Walt's gotta save Jesse ay? Or at least attempt to. Who else is the gun and ricin for? Maybe Lydia as an ends tying up too.
 
I thought Heisenberg (in the cabin)would see a newspaper article about Andrea's death...realise what Todd had done with Jesse...then go to war (mostly to kill Jesse) for revenge*

*revenge for someone taking his creation
 
Actually, Walt must assume Jesse is dead. That's the last he knew of it.

In fact it makes no sense him going after Todd and Uncle Nazi. He doesn't know they still have Jesse, and he still has nuff dollar. They left him enough to still be rich.

Is it supposed to be Walt's new life in that cabin or what? A temporary thing? Doesn't seem much of an alternative to prison

See above.
 
Like the resurgence of the blue meth isn't the same plot device.

I hadn't even considered that. It's clever, because now Walt has no money, no freedom, his family is fucked, his academic reputation has just been trashed on the telly and now the thing that caused it all - him being Heisenberg - now even that is being called into question with Jessie knocking out the blue meth.

He's got absolutely nothing, and therefore nothing to lose. Rambo time!! :cool:
