"All BAD Things Must Come to an End" - Breaking Bad Season 5: Part 2 Official Thread (SPOILERS)

[Batter Up]

Wrote all of that and got NO daps...

Stopped reading and negged him after the first sentence


"Just finished Breaking Bad, for those that don't want to read this entire review I rate the series 4/5"

Maybe I'm not remembering clearly but did he just randomnly get invited to the birthday party? And he brought a real sentimental gift for someone he wouldn't consider a friend in that moment in time.

And I thought it was quite clear he got his heart broken by Gretchen and then pussied out and walked away from the company by selling his stock to the remaining two partners for a mere 5k.

I understand the point of the show, and I understand just how a star of the show has to be treated but Walt was walking on water at times.

He got invited to a party he didn't want to go to. He even points out they haven't spoken in years. I assume he brought the gift so shyt wouldn't be totally weird, and they'd have something to talk about, even if it was years ago. When he gets there and sees everyone else actually bought real gifts, he

And nah, that's not clear at all. In season 2, episode 6 Gretchen says he left her. According to her for no reason. Both sides blame the other and it's never revealed who was actually right.

And nah....you don't seem to understand. Walt winning has nothing to do with who is playing him, or who is the star of the show. People are so used to tuning into a show, and week after week the main character triumphs solely because he's the main character. Their brains are programmed to assume that. Which is basically what you're saying. That's not why he constantly won. He constantly won because....what is the alternative? How can you write a show that takes a character from this:

to this....

....and not have him constantly out think and out smart everyone? It's impossible. The sole focal point of the show was that transformation, it's hinged on him winning.

Now, you could say "well, I feel like XYZ wasn't realistic", but that's another topic entirely.

Fred.

Whatever happened between him and Gretchen he was the one that ultimately back out of the entire situation.


And the whole purpose of that argument is because it got to the point of being unrealistic given the situations.

Yeah but him backing out doesn't necessarily mean he's in the right. Or in the wrong. It was left vague.

And the premise of the show was "take a school teacher and turn him into a drug lord". From day 1 realism wasn't high on their list of priorities. This show was never meant to be "The Wire", it has more in common with Macbeth.
