I think it was Gilligan who said that Walt turned evil when he turned down Gretchen and Elliott's money back in Season 2. He was given a chance to pay his bills and leave the meth business, but his pride got the best of him.
That was season 1, but yeah. Exactly.
Vince Gilligan said when he first created the show he didn't 100% know Walt's motivations....sure it was for his family, but if you mass produce meth you're going to become very rich very quickly. So that wasn't a viable long term plot line. Walt cooks, makes enough money....the show ends?
Then he thought, Walt continues to cook because he wants to. It has nothing to do with money....it's taking pride in something he's good at. It's the feeling of power that comes from that lifestyle.
And this was obviously laid out in that ep, "Grey Matter". So that's why I'm like
when people say Walt is doing this for his fam, or because he has to. That shyt went out the window in season 1.Fred.

Let's just put this another way so everyone can be happy and get back to discovering hidden shyt like we normally do
The ONE TIME where Walt was so scared that he felt the need to pack up his whole family and disappear from earth, in turn leaving the meth game..... The sole reason he could not complete that mission was because Skyler gave the money away he would have used
Taaaaaah daaaaaah.

so what, he had the opportunity to do it before Skyler gave the money away and didn't. He was told about the "get out of the country plan" like three days in advance. Ego kept him in the game and was the reason it got to the point it did. Nope, sorry...Skyler did what she was supposed to do based on what she knew. Walt didn't

Giving his money away to some dude she was fukking in order to help cook books she decided to cook is what she was supposed to do??
And I said the ONE TIME. Excusing skyler from any blame for him being in the game at any time EXCEPT THAT ONE TIME
Ill pose it another way. If slyler never gave away that money, would Walt be in the game today?

When I met him in real life, he was also driving the same color Volvo. I wonder if they really used his own car for the show?

If I was him every now and then I'd pop into and stay in character out in public
Why are the women on this types of shows so fukking annoying? Skyler, Carmella, Nucky's wife can be absolute c*nts sometimes.
I think so, yeah. Because currently he has no reason to continue selling dope, but he is anyway. You seriously think Walt would be able to take some bum ass 9-5 job after making millions and being a gangster?
He'd be just like Henry Hill was, after "Goodfellas". Running a drug ring in Witness Protection.
