How did they kill the handicapped kid?

nobody did. at least not yet. what he means by "his family is gone" is that walt was ran out of his home and the cops are after him for domestic abuse, child kidnapping, and "maybe he killed someone," then makes a murder confession over the phone when the cops are listening. so he's lost his family.

"junior" is the one who called 911 actually, and accused him of pulling a knife on his mom-- when it was actually skyler who pulled a knife on walt.

there, spoilers galore now, on demand.

btw, really idiotic way of the sister to tell the kid everything point-blank in such a way. fucking brutal.

Skyler's sister is always a pain in the ass.

agree with this.

ha ha, i find him to be an irritating moron. the most sympathy i had for him was when he briefly stayed with his family, what assholes. but he's a complete fuckup. and those idiot friends, damn.

the one i actually liked was mike. he was a real pro and had a human side and was an honorable guy in his own way, all the way to his death.


both she and hank, most annoying couple ever.

But she's hot...really hot.

You gotta remember that, as far as WW is concerned, Jessie, and WW's loyalty to Jessie, screwed up their meth plans many times. MANY times.

Jessie is not sympathetic as much as pathetic.

Hank used to tag that ass til the room stank. No more.....

BTW, I thank Mario for the illegal uploaders from Sweden that allowed my wife and I to catch these last 5 episodes of Breaking bad on Youtube.

that was my fav part actually.
congrats to the script writers fitting this in so squeezed.
the whole flynn trying to realize, cracked me really good!
especially at the end of the drama scene at their house, walt yelling whats the matter with you, we are family! hilarious. brilliant!



yeah, mike was the only cool. ah and the native american in this episode. they should have used him in more scenes.

don't you remember that he kept his guys alive in jail, paying the families faithfully, out of his own pocket, so that nobody had to rat the other ones out (and get themselves killed?). and that he didn't like to kill people indiscriminately? don't you remember that he spared lydia who he was going to kill for having offed his two guys? the whole "she can't think that i left her" thing tht she did? don't you remember that he took that sorry loser jesse under his wing and gave him a bit of confidence with that fake mugging and is the one who more or less managed to "reform" the guy?

new(?*) promo is awesome! Ozymandias is quoted!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=zRTSxJwq5dA

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: — Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‚My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!‘
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.


* saw it just now for the first time

haaaa haaa haaaa

That article you posted the link was a nice read.

Walt's Last Supper

Ep 14 i found anticlimactic really. Good stuff overall but him kidnapping the child to just leave her at the next firestation was just dumb.
Bye bye Hank, farewell, hahahahahaha
You know he's going to get away with it as you see him drifting about a year later in a flash forward beg of season 5. with hair and a beard.
What's next?
I'm curious as to what sort of a narrative twist they're going to find to end this properly....Impress me.

and i agree with the Mike-supporters. He was a fair square guy. Tough but incredibly human afterall.

So, I was thinking about the end of Breaking Bad, and I feel this way. Walt dying seems inevitable, otherwise why make his cancer be terminal? So him dying is not the big reveal, it becomes about his legacy. When Walt dies, will the world learn of his crimes and thus remember him as Hizenberg, which the flash-forwards suggest happens even before then, or will they remember him has Walter White? Does his wife/son/daughter have to then get different identities both to save themselves from Walt's enemies, and as a way to move forward once Walt's story gets out and the news learns of it?

Walt Jr.'s Instagram

perhaps him grabbing the baby was about being close to absolute purity; if only for few seconds, the moment he has her in his arms before he gets in the car.


in the phone-call he made to his wife, he tried to clear her from all story and say goodbye to her. flynn was clueless (lol) so he wont be in any trouble.


(dunno why i bother).

I like the first one better.

that is fucking cool.

didn't see that coming...

walt retreating to a lonely home with lots of money taking injections near death and drinking ensure - this is channelling layne staley.

bleak and desolate picture of capitalism. "if i said yes would you believe me?" walt is reduced to asking for help, but there are no bonds in this world stronger than money. this show has no illusions about the world. its just the people in it that have them. really brilliantly done.

in the end if walt can't get the money to his family and will soon be dead, it was all for nothing.

his son rejects him, his former business partners denigrate him. now he's got nothing to lose and is going to go on some sort of rampage.

classic american tv.

i'm going to have a hard time accepting it has ended after it actually does. meanwhile, i'm in denial. hank dead, saul gone, jesse caged, walt in cancer death row, and i'm still dreaming a lot is going to happen, enough for many seasons.

good character, the vacuum guy. and potato face nazi, great show today-- the creepy spooky way that he's so nice and a cold blooded killer at the same time. jesse remains, as always, an unmitigated, unredeemable fuckup.

he looks like a potato

he was in friday night lights and played a really nice guy

todd! i never remember his character name. i'm terrible with names.

potato face.

and yes, a mutant matt damon. his radioactive child.

more russet than yukon gold

her photo was in the lab we see it when potato sez let's cook

todds face definitely crossed the uncanny valley and i for one am in favour of that. pity about the nazi shit tho.

am glad that jesse didnt escape, only because it would be too tv cliche for him to have busted his way out of capture from his enemies.

the hero is dead, the antihero loses everything, the fool is enslaved then watches the one he loves murdered, and the nazis get all the cash. its dark, and rightfully so. its taken decades for tv to allow itself to make genuinely dark stuff that doesn't have to embarrass itself with redemption ever single time.

i mean, breaking bad isn't actually all that out there when it comes to its basic plots and premises. a lot of its narratives are tried and true. what it doesnt do is condescend by trying to create tension for the sole purpose of redeeming it. it doesnt play for cheap melodrama either. it has a basic realism and strong writing. they can get away with wheelchair IEDs and magnetic hard drive wiping from a van all because of this basic realism.

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.

that there is a microcosm of real life & economics no?

anyway

the scene that really got me was when he's sitting at the bar waiting for teh cops to arrive when he sees his former partners on charlie rose (charlie rose! ha ha ha) and then they deny him and said he was nobody, say he made no contributions, and walt says nothing of course being alone but you can see him grimacing and his hand twitching and the rage and the humiliation and you get the sense of that huge betrayal. that moment there. i only wish i knew why or how they ever bought his patents from under him and that whole backstory which is of course the reason why he feels so vindicated in "the empire business". and is now apparently charging with a machine gun at the other people who stole from him-- the nazis? or maybe he'll go on a rampage on the gray matter campus and make those douches eat some lead for being the ones who put him in that position in the first place. ha!

at first i didn't get the brilliance of that scene.

just before, two things happen. his son rejects him on the phone and rejects his money, therefore heisenberg is a failure and is powerless. walt phones the cops and gives himself away by saying 'this is walter white'.

so here the heisenberg personality is defeated. walter white returns in a pathetic state, with his tail between his legs. hes going to go crying and give himself up. but in doing so, he at least has some control over his identity. he can be walter white the apologetic figure who confesses the madness of heisenberg to the cops.

but that tv show flips it. his partners denigrate him and literally call walter white 'nothing'. therefore his entire plan is thwarted. he can no longer reclaim his old identity. he is no longer in a position of power. he wanted to go be walter white and have the cops ask him for the story of heisenberg. that at least makes him the active narrator in his own story, since he holds the details of what heisenberg did and reclaims SOME sort of control.

that tv clip killed walter white and heisenberg took over, and now there is no going back. he's heisenberg until he dies.

i have seen the term "heisenberg personality" elsewhere on the internet so i'm assuming it's part of a common lexicon, and i can see it but i can also see that it's too geometric a construct to reduce the character to. a kind of jekyll/hyde thing.

but if you ever read the nabokov analysis of j/h, which is brilliant, he does a little venn diagram or something where hyde is part of jekyll but it's just a distilled "evil essence" (hyde is smaller). jekyll is (like all of us) a "mixed" thing.

anyway, so, while i can see the 2 "personalities" as a polarity (you could also call those poles meekness and pride if you wanted and it would still work), ultimately it's all just one person, with all the complexities that this entails (and here you could go back to the jungian chessboard/magic theatre in "steppenwolf", which, while highly unscientific, provides a more accurate poetic image, and maybe even it's more scientifically accurate anyway, given all the brain "organs" at work).

vince gilligan talked in some interview about the transformation of mr. chips into scarface (or something like that) and yes, "seyy hellow tu mai littul frenn" is evidently coming, but the problem i have with the on/off 2 person switch is that it turns art into geometry-- and it's too manichaean good vs. evil. makes sense?

anyway i feel terribly lame so looking forward to a tv show, but what's good is good no matter where you find it, and this season has been just fucking brilliant.

Walter takes out Jack and his men with a machine gun, only to get shot from behind by Jesse? :eek:

One bit of confusion was the guys in black who confronted Skyler in the baby's bedroom at the White's house. When the "hider" returns to visit Walt a month later, he references Skyler and the kids living in an apartment. Are we to believe Skyler and the kids left the house due to the guys in black or just because the residence was RICO-ed?

Any thoughts why the guys in black let Skyler and the baby live, but didn't hesitate to kill Jessie's ex-girlfriend?

walt does a science and the nazis die, but potato face escapes. jesse is about to scream 'yeah bitch' but gets mauled by a female dog and dies. walt junior becomes a criminal mastermind behind a billion dollar breakfast empire. potato face hits on lydia quayle who kill him then becomes a rich meth hoe and is bought into sexual slavery by walt junior. skylar and marie realize they were adopted and aren't sisters then become lovers. hank returns from the dead on a pale horse and rides into mexico to bring the law of the land to the savages. saul converts to judaism. skinny pete and the fat one join the dea. mikes granddaughter finds the barrels of money in the dead nazis hideout and spends it all on meth. walt jr puts on the heisenberg hat then starts to dance like michael jackson in the empty pool in the backyard, fade to black and the credits roll.
