Breaking Bad, Cont'd. (SPOILERS!!!)

got my season 1 & 2 dvds last week. :cool

couple of things i had forgotten:

1) jesse felt his aunt had left him the house, although the house was in his parents' names. he felt he had earned it by taking care of his aunt when she had cancer. in the scene where his parents kick him out he tells them "remember we talked about selling the house and splitting it 50-50?" so, in jesse's mind he didn't rip them off at all, he just gave them their half, bought them out. to jesse, his parents were the greedy ones trying to rip him off of something he had earned and they hadn't.

the house transaction and the jesse eviction were in the same office, same lawyer, saul sat where jesse sat, parents sat in the same spots. also, in both scenes, it was the meth lab that sealed the deal: jesse's parents used it against him to get him out, saul used their failure to disclose it to get jesse back in. full circle, nicely done.

2) hank's ptsd started after the tuco shoot out, not the juarez incident with tortuga's exploding head. hank had that incident in the elevator, where he almost passed out, just after they told him about getting the liason gig and splitting time between abq and el paso. then he took the next day off sick [he stayed home to bottle his schraderbrau] then freaked out when the beer bottles started exploding. dude was already wound up before el paso.

Tonights episode was weird, it seemed to jump around alot of different plots. I guess they need to start tying some things together.
 
Too bad the hott Principal was having none of Walts advances. I was hoping he'd get a chance to hit that. Maybe he still will.
 
i'm thinking now that with hank it might be deeper than ptsd. i kind of think it's that hank isn't nearly as bad ass and heroic as he wants people to believe. he has the obnoxious loudmouth persona to divert from the fact that he's shitting bricks. i wouldn't call him a coward, but he might feel like one, feel like he has failed to live up to some standard of bravery.

i think the violence [all of it, not just in el paso/juarez] really gets to him. he tries to embrace it to prove that he doesn't fear it: like the tuco's grill paperweight and the pics on his website of himself with tuco's brother in law. think the bar fight was an attempt to convince himself that he really is bad ass hank.

That's certainly not out of the real of possibility for his character. The bar fight scene was certainly intended to allude to something deeper I think.
 
How miserable will Hank be when he eventually finds out that Walt is Heisenberg? Not only will he be fired from work, frowned upon by his family, friends, and co-workers.
 
Hank's wife will follow her sister's lead and cheat on him, causing him to break bad, around the same time he finds out Heisenberg is his BiL. With his insider's knowledge of the DEA, and Walt's cooking skills, they combine forces and form an organization big enough to counter the Mexis.








Yea I didn't think so either...
 
The show just keeps getting better. I love it. I'll be leaving the country for a couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to watching 3 episodes in a row :banana

I think Max (postcholo) is on to something here. Hank is losing his edge and propensity for violence. He's definitely pussying out from the EL Paso task force.

I love Pollo man's tactic of wetting Hank's beak with a bag of money. That was genius!

Walt's darkside is also slowly taking over his everyday persona. He's starting to manifest signs of it in front of Walt Junior (ie breakfast scene). He never did that before, actually maybe once , when he let him drink tequila to the point of Jr puking.

Oh and Skylar is still a freaking bitch and deserves to have her head as a hood ornament for a giant turtle.
 
love the way the episode ended: several nice big "fuck yous"; [to sky] here's your divorce bitch, [to jesse] i'm the man you little pussy and [to saul] you work for me on my terms scumbag. :cool

walt's main problem is jesse and i don't see how they can resolve that without getting rid of him. even if walt doesn't want to, there's no way mr pollo is going to let jesse fuck up his operation.

now hank is closing in on him, he just got put in his place by walt. there is no way he takes the rap for being heisenberg. so what do they do about jesse?
 
I was thinking the exact same thing about Jesse. I think he'll get caught, then Walt, Gus and Saul will go to length to keep him from dropping a dime, which means, bailing him out and bringing him back into the operation.
 
Hank is going to pinch Jesse again, big time, and pressure him to give up Heisenberg. Jesse will plea for help via Saul and it will be known he will talk. With Jesse in custody, Walt will squirm, and Gus will have to protect his investment. Gus will have Jesse killed (in jail or out on bail) and Walt will have to again face the dark side of his life choices.
