Breh when has Walt ever not been reckless? He became a drug dealer when his brother-in-law is DEA....he turned down a great job and financial help so he could continue being a drug dealer.
And that's just season 1. He told Hank "half a mill in cash" when he asked "what's in the bag?"....he followed those two random goons out to the parking lot to threaten them....I could go on.
In season 2 Walt said he needed $737,000 to completely cover everything. He now owns a car wash, his cancer is in remission, and all his bills are paid....yet he told Skyler in ep 5 "we need to get back that $600,000 you lost"....what for?
He has endangered himself, and his fam, since the first episode. I'm surprised it took this long for another character (in this case, Skylar) to say "hold the fukk on a minute". He says he's running shyt now....ok the last guy that ran shyt got blown the fukk up.
And him being better/worse than Tony Soprano or Vic Mackey isn't the point....the fact that we're even mentioning those two in relation to Walt speaks volumes on the type of person he is. Tony (most likely) got murked in front of his fam and Mackey snitched and was disgraced. Whether or not you rooted for them is irrelevant really, they both made terrible choices and suffered the consequences.
I assume the same will happen to Walt. That's what people don't seem to get. Regardless of how much people hate Skylar, Walt has done so much shyt she is justified in not wanting her kids around him.
Fred.
anyone else think this scene will be reconnected with Hank finding out about Walt
