Breaking Bad Plotholes

[Easy-E]

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

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

I was probably because she was cooking his formula

No he already knew Todd was cooking the formula.

*edit...fukk it maybe he just didn't like the bytch
but she still did help the nikka get 80 million

No he already knew Todd was cooking the formula.

Walt had a business relationship with Declan that respected his formula. Lydia said fukk it and killed Declan and had Todd cook it but it still wasnt blue.
So basically Lydia was fukking with Walt's agreement. Then, even worse, she was transporting Todds blue meth, signature Heisenberg product.

Basically that and if she stayed alive she could testify/snitch/try to kill skyler and the family.

 

[yseJ]

also killing Lydia maybe couldve led to backup plan if m60 didnt work out. she was the source of methylamine for nazis. without it, nazi cant cook.

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

Besides feeding his ego, what is the point of telling Lydia she was poisoned ??


She could use her last hours on earth to make sure the projects get shot up, and Flynn never sees his 9 million dollars making Walt's life pointless

Ok Walt is this super genius right capable of using his big brain in a number of high paying fields, but somehow he ended up being a lowly high school chemistry teacher?

That plot would make sense if he was somehow blackballed from everything and had to take the teaching position, but obviously that wasn't the case...and its not like he didn't have a family to feed or wasn't interested in money. Basically they're telling us it's Grey Matter or high school chemistry teacher...no other good jobs in between lol

He knew how ruthless she was when it came to protecting her family, if he wouldn't have murked Lydia and just killed the klan, Lydia woulda murked his family just to tie up loose ends when she heard of the news.

I mean she wanted to murk his family before but was talked outta it by Todd da Gawd, you best believe she would kill them after Todd and Walter is gone. The best place to keep a secrect is six feet deep.

Walt telling Lydia about the ricin was one of the dumbest things the show did. Everyone saying Lydia died is wrong based on what you know from the show she most likely lives.

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.

vince was funny trying to say everything wasnt busted

Do some places still have pay phones. I haven't seen one in years but maybe that's a regional thing

So what does he get out of telling her shes about 2 die, if shes so ruthless

That's the only reason he did it really.

And to the people saying "she could have Walt's family killed still"....how? Her people are all dead. She don't have access to killers. Her goons were the nazis. She had maybe a day left before she died, I assume she'd be more concerned handling her person affairs and making sure her daughter is taken care of.

If ricin has been in her system for the better part of a day, she's dead. It would take a miracle for her to survive. Ricin is one of the most poisonous substances on earth, and there's no antidote for it.

What I've always wanted to know is how back in season 2 how hank couldn't pin jesses "captain cook" number plate to him when he found it with tuco?
