Breaking Bad Thread - "El Camino" - A Breaking Bad Movie on Netflix 10/11

thw question this show makes me ask is what does family mean?

hank was willing to turn in walt for his job

skylar turned on walt over hank

jr turned on walt over skylar

and yet walt did all of this for them

This should be a good discussion. Who in all this do you think has the best interpretation of family?
 
I have a scenario in my mind of how everyone else dies expect Walt. There is no way the cancer will just kill him.
Lydia dies: By icing in her tea, thanks to Hader on Talking bad. Or Walt uses here to draw out Todd.
Todd: He slips up and Jesse kills him. Or above with Lydia.
Todd's crew: Walt just sprays all of them.
Jesse: Walt finds him and have an emotional goodbye moment and kills him
Walt: idk



This is my first drama EVER! And I feel like if I tried to go back and watch Sopranos and the Wire I wont get that same feeling I do for Breaking Bad. But I'll try.

I only took away from the flashbacks was Holly being mention. When she said, "What do you think about Holly?" I had that oh no feeling in my gut.
 
Still trying to figure out the importance of the ricin though .....

I was just gonna come in and post this. At this point who knows. Maybe Walt ingests it himself on some I'm not gonna get off'ed by somebody else nor let cancer eventually take me. Yeah, science!! :lol
 
It takes days for it to work. If he wanted to kill himself he wouldn't do it slowly and painfully.

It's much easier to put a bullet through your head of course. But maybe ingesting that much works faster? Because I remember him telling Jessie the story how some guy just got a pin prick of the stuff or whatever and it worked.
 
Agreed. He saved his family with the phone call and knows he can't go back to have a life with them. He now only has one thing, his name, not Walt (because of the change) but Heisenberg which is also his legacy. He'll encounter some blue meth and know that Jesse/etc. is cooking again and will revert back to Heisenberg to claim which is rightfully his and not make the same mistake he made last time, killing Jesse in the process, I'm still not to sure about.

Considering the way Walt takes on characteristics of the people hes killed; I wonder if Walt comes up with some kind of plan to poison the Aryans. His reaction to Hank getting killed was very similar to Gus' reaction when Herman was killed infront of him.
 
Seeing that stool where jesse is tied up, made me think that he'd hang himself there.

80 mill though? And the greedy nazis still want to cook.
 
what if the ricin is for skylar? straight called her a ditch and unworthy and ungrateful.

That whole speech was an act.. done intentionally to make her look better in front of the cops. Recall how Walt broke down crying in the middle of his insults, if he were truly angry and meant it.. he probably wouldn't have done that.

And why would he want to orphan his children? You saw how broken up he was when Holly was saying "Mama".. it seemed clear when he returned Holly he wouldn't want to hurt Skyler or the kids anymore. Because I can't imagine Walt Jr. comes around anytime soon and sides with his dad, especially if his Mom mysteriously dies.

He was basically taking any blame away from her.  I'm pretty sure she understood it, too, at the moment when she paused and then apologized.
 
Anyone think Lydia might be hooked on the Blue ?

The comment Kenny made about the artificial pink used on the Salmon as a cover up and the way she was checking her makeup strikes me as alittle strange. Sometimes she puts off a petty and desperate vibe almost as if shes running low on her personal stash, and more concerned about the quality for her own use than the Czechs she's supplying.


Not to mention she just acts like a ******g tweaker :lol
 
Episode was bananas. A few things I took away
  • I have felt no sympathy for Jesse for the past couple episodes. In fact, i stated I wouldnt mind if he caught a bullet and died during the shootout. Seeing him essentially enslaved was not something I wanted to see. I wish they would have just killed him in the desert. A fitting ending to the series would be Jesse killing Todd.
  •  Walt telling Jesse "I could have saved her, but I didn't".........

    ​ that was the final straw in that relationship
  • RIP to Hank. Seeing him die was hard to watch. At least he went out with honor and dignity.

     RIP to Gomez too
  • On the flip side, I took joy immediately when I saw Marie learn Hank got killed. It was a sick, twisted kind of joy that I'm almost ashamed of. After all Marie has done to make me hate her, I took relief to know that she thinks Walt killed Hank. I felt zero sympathy for Marie the entire episode, especially after remembering how she pranced into that car wash like she won the lottery

  • Speaking of Walt Jr, it was evident from the beginning of the series his loyalty was to Hank before Walt. It is no surprise he calls the police on his father. And to my surprise, I'm not mad at him for calling them. I'm actually proud he stood up for his mother (although we all know Walt didn't attack her). 
  • I dont know how to feel about Skylar. She is the one character in the show I am conflicted on. I remember when she cheated on Walt, emasculated him throughout the first couple seasons etc etc, I hated her guts. Recently while she stood by Walt's side I praised her. Now I am just confused. I understand she wanted whats best for her kids, and I truly believe she knows Walt didn't kill Hank. But for her to pull a knife on the dude, and after all that happened he still called and put all the blame on himself while she just sat there..... I'm gonna need to do some thinking about this.
  • What does Walt have left to live for? That $10mill aint gonna do anything for him. His fam deserted him. He is a wanted criminal. He has no home. I think the only fitting ending is suicide, or going out guns blazing. 
sorry for the long rant. it has been awhile since a tv show/movie made me feel this way
 
How she gonna be down with Walt and now flip the script on him? She was just urging him to kill Jesse if need be.

Seriously imshaking my head...

Worst possible way this episode could have gone

Anybody else agree?

Really do not understand how you guys loved this episode...

great observation
 
Maybe because Hank was just killed.. Some of you don't even pay attention.

Killing Jesse isn't the same as Hank.

OF COURSE Noble Kane doesn't like this episode. Come on.. :lol

Just watched it again. I laughed at Marie's reaction when Walt said she's never going to see Hank again. I know I'm foul for that, it is what it is.

You really do need to watch the episode more than once to process it all. So much happens.
