Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[Fez909]

if they take the walt goes rambo ape on the nazis route, that will be soo lame.

They've made the Nazis so hate-worthy that something very bad has to happen to them. I don't think the Rambo route is the right option. That Grey Matter broadcast will get Walt into intellectual mode and he'll engineer a sciencey way to fuck them up. Perhaps leaving Jessie the deliver the final blows. I can imagine Jessie being quite brutal with Todd. It's got to be that way.

The Nazis can't get away unharmed!

 

[keybored]

Yay!

The Nazis can't get away unharmed!

I feel like it's the only thing I'm confident of. They must die!

I think Walt will succumb to cancer (maybe via the Feds if his arrest is for a greater good) to give him a morally/success ambiguous exit.

I hope Elliot and Grechen have some comeuppance though can't see how (nor whether they particularly deserve it).

Well, if Elliot hadn't conned Walt out of his half of the money from the business, he wouldn't have gone into the meth business and things would have been very different. If you subscribe to the butterfly effect theory, then everything goes back to Elliot being a cunt.

Didn't Grechen cheat on Walt with Elliot, too?

Either way, the ricin is going into the Ramen.

 

[frogwoman]

that one was amazing. the fucking nazis have to die. and i hope gretchen and elliot get theirs too. i knew they would reappear somewhere and from that tv interview they were blatantly hiding something.

 

[frogwoman]

what a fantastic episode, i've gone back to liking walt again now.

 

[girasol]

oh, it's Monday, time for the next episode!

 

[J Ed]

what a fantastic episode, i've gone back to liking walt again now.

I haven't, he's so irresponsible and thoughtless. I can't believe that he thought that Flynn was just going to be like "hey cool, thanks for the monies dad!"...

I hate the Nazis in this programme so much, I was actually expecting worse when they went to Jesse's girlfriend though. I think I expected them to torture her in front of Jesse or something, I almost felt a bit relieved when they just shot her outright.

Also FUCK miss "hey Todd why didn't you kill her rather than just threaten her" Lydia.

 

[frogwoman]

seriously todd i the sort of person i'd hate in real life, like some sort of american jock kid bastard, his sort of wide eyed enthusiasm adds to how evil he is, and the fact that he's a fucking nazi

 

[jakethesnake]

Was that an extended episode? It certainly seemed to go by very quickly. I loved the vacuum repair guy - he had the same matter of factness as Mike.

I know Things is you can't help but like walt even tho he's a cunt/idiot

Lydia is awful, I hope she dies horribly.

 

[frogwoman]

can't believe next bb is the last one

 

[J Ed]

I really hate Lydia but I feel uncomfortable hating her because the portrayal of women generally in Breaking Bad is so awful, almost misogynist. In The Wire there were so many great, likeable even if they were morally compromised, women characters but in Breaking Bad they are all so dislikeable.

really? i like skyler. i think part of it is because of the fanbase, i always thought skyler was all right to be honest. and marie, i don't think she's that dislikeable.

didn't take long for one to come out of the woodwork. Piss off and go watch episode of loose women.

I dunno, until recently she sort of just hovers around Walt sighing and tutting, having an affair, holding him back etc... all things that can be rationalised by Walt's behaviour that's sort of it. She's auxiliary to him, she has no agency, if she did have agency then maybe she would seem like a more likeable character while doing the same sort of stuff.

i took that to be because walt has such a domineering personality. the affair made me like her a lot more because she was doing something for herself instead of worrying about walt all the time. And she does do stuff like go to a lawyer early on in the seasons, which she sacks off when the lawyer tells her she has to give walt up. And that stuff like walking into the pool as a cry for help as well.

Marie's not in the series as much but she's a pretty good character as well imo

 

[frogwoman]

todd is just fucking loathsome though, but in a bizarre kind of way he seems to "mean well", the the way that he said "sorry it's nothing personal" i mean wtf??

 

[J Ed]

Well he prolly thinks he is a pretty good person because his mates are so insane!

A kind hearted murderous nazi

I think he is a great character.

 

[Ted Striker]

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

 

[Doctor Carrot]

A kind hearted murderous nazi

I think he is a great character.

Yeah his smiley attitude makes his sociopathic makeup all the more disturbing. I read in this in a review for last weeks episode from Time magazine.

“We could get it out of him back home. I could do it. We’ve got a history [cheerfully]. And we could take care of the job after that!” Is there a sweeter, more terrifying sociopath than Todd?

I'd agree with that, more so after this week when he was being all nice with Jessie giving him ice cream then coldly executing his woman later on. I think he's an under looked character. Seriously though the Nazis need to die in the last episode, and die horribly and fuck that Lydia woman too. She's so pissy and whiny and yet so greedy and self serving too.

Definitely agree that the women in it are pretty awful. Not a single strong woman in the show, except maybe Skyler and that's only become apparent very recently where as you look at the sopranos and the wire it's a different story.

 

[frogwoman]

I thought Marie was pretty strong

How come you're still here? Do one

I think Lydia is great...reasonably convincing in a very unlikely role.

Marie I find little to like, purely because she's had rubbish screen time. She could be the perfect accompaniment to Asac's all American baddie catcher butch simpleton, tho she only ever has half the background of a scene being 'the dull whiney annoying one'. The bored petty theft thing went down an interesting road tho stopped pretty swiftly.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

I thought Marie was pretty strong

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. Any thing else I probably overlooked because I find her character intensely annoying.

but hank was being pretty impossible himself i thought, refusing help iirc and with his weird mineral obsession! and its different when it's personal i think

wonder what's going to happen with jesse?
