Breaking Bad Plotholes

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

I do believe Gus was the ultimate villain for Walt to go against. I think the writers tried to make it Hank vs Walt but it wasn't all that climatic in the end.

The thing with the trunk. From what I remember the trunk pops open FIRST which causes the goon outside to be on some Then the gun proceeded to make his insides outside.

You're probably right, I'd have to watch that scene again

You're probably right.

Not a plothole persay. Correct me if im wrong but not a single crooked cop. Multi million dollar drug empire and somehow not a single cop or DEA agent was paid off that day.


No love the show.

i think they just didn't want to get into that side of it, just another thing to get into and explore but not necessary. had they made 1 or even 2 more seasons i think Gomie might have ended up being crooked, or SOMEONE in Hank's section.

And if they aren't meticulous how do they pull off a synchronized 10 man super max prison murder strategy in several states without drawing any suspicion to themselves?? Or sneak pass a DEA, NMBI and FBI surveillance of Walts crib to give death threats to Skyler and baby Holly while being totally undetected..

These weren't just your run of the mill type rockhead goons..Until the plot needed them to be and they let a man that they had stolen 70 m's from roll up in their compound without even checking his whip...



Especially AFTER Todd had been telling them all those stories about Mr. White's genius level of scientific gangster from the methylamine train heist...



And then they bring out Jesse at the end just to prove to a man (that will be dead in 30 seconds) that "we dont fukk with snitches"...



Talk about taking "My name is my name" to an absurd level.. I guess they were concerned that once Walt died and went to hell he would spread the word around to Satan and the other demons that Uncle Jack and them was really about that rat life and weren't stand up guys....

The more I think about the whole Nazi storyline the more they come off as Die Hard villians...Its like the writers blew their load with the Gus storyline and were struggling to find a credible antagonist to take it to the next level..Gus or Mike would have never allowed Walt to drive in without checking every inch of that car...Nazi's should have been the main season 3-4 foils and Gus would have been more appropriate for the final 1.5 seasons

Man Mike, f*cked up by not making sure Walt was properly subdued when he went to have his "meeting" with the DEA, which was also pretty convenient timing for Walt.

Yeah I forgot about that.. Dexter had some similar moments.. The cops or bad guys have to have these enormous brain farts where they behave like functional retards for brief moments for the plot to advance..

Here's what Maureen Ryan had to say about it...


"Walt got a sentimental ending. He got to go out on a win. Don't ask how he got his millions from the cabin, how he lucked into a car with the keys inside, how he traveled cross-country and flitted all over ABQ without being spotted, how he hooked up with Badger and Skinny Pete without being seen, how it was so easy for him to get into the Schwartz house (and get them to haul his money around), or how a man near death rigged up a machine gun with a device that surely figures in an alternate cut of a Patrick Swayze direct-to-video action movie. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, he's experiencing a redemptive arc!"

1. Fulminated mercury.
2. Hydrofluoric acid through a bath tub.
3. Big ass magnet.
4. Blue meth.
5. The implausibility of 2 airplanes colliding directly over Walt's house due to him letting an air traffic controller's daughter die. Although they kinda addressed this in season 3.
6. Axe through concrete.

I'll think of more later.

Bruh I saw that shyt I was like the cartel got adamantium axes

Maybe I missed something but why exactly did Walt want to kill Lydia?? She didn't directly do anything to him. She wouldn't have put the hit on him if he hadn't have came back

to protect his family

 

[bigrodthe1]

to protect his family

He had been gone for a year. If she was going to do something to them I'm sure it would have already happened

 

[kash10003]

He had been gone for a year. If she was going to do something to them I'm sure it would have already happened

its true, but by that logic he didn't have to kill the nazis either, i think after he heard skylar say that they came at her, he was going to tie up all loose ends

that was my random justification

That was kind of unclear too, in the previous episode it was implied that Lydia wanted Meth Damon to murk Sklyar. Not sure why he hadn't done it yet.

He killed the Nazis cause they took his cash and killed Hank...Lydia had nothing to do with any of that

Maureen Ryan also said the "Lost" finale was incredible.

As far as "Solid Snake Walt" dodging cops for two days during a nationwide man hunt....

Boston crime boss Whitey Bulger lived in plain sight for 16 years while #1 on the FBI's Most Wanted List with a $2 million bounty on his head.

He wasn't in some cave, or shack. He lived in Santa Monica, California, and went about his business like anybody else. No plastic surgery, or anything. All it took for him to evade capture for damn near 2 decades is moving 3,000 miles west.

Chris Dorner hid in a house literally 5 minutes away from the FBI command center that was set up to catch him. Why didn't they notice him? They thought he'd be hundreds of miles away by then. Nobody even thought to check the surrounding area. The only reason he left is 2 maids came to clean the house, and found him there.

This happened in real life. The police are not as smart or perceptive as you guys make them out to be. Walt dodging police for a day or two isn't as hard as you'd think.
