He was supposed to be there for meet and greets + autographs. Was really excited to meet him actually.

Then well you know. Giancarlo was there, he was really nice and supportive but he kept glancing at the booth and the memorial display put up and you could tell it was affecting him.

Reach out and check on your friends people. You never know.

I always wonder if they heard about walts passing on the news if they would assume the contract killers were uninterested and called his bluff, or if they did it. I can't tell. I can see how narritively it would be interesting to have had it all been for nothing and they turned the money into the police. Much more satisfying to believe he got it to him though..

So what do you think?

This is so sad 😢 RJ Mitte was truly loved by so many people. I can't imagine the pain his sister is going through right now

Alternate universe: the company succeeds before Walter leaves and he stays for the money

Seeing how his big drug empire didn't last even a year because the guy is lousy as a leader of an organization makes me believe that the guy would have screwed up if he stayed in the company

Ok now maybe the young Walter wasn't so broke and the company would have run its course, or it would just be a matter of time for Walter to explode and ruin him in some way by going to another company to ruin it anyway for wanting to be the boss

As far as I know, Walter was the one with the ideas, Eliot was in charge of the business and Gretchen was in charge of giving the money at the beginning, maybe that would screw Walter for not being the one who is in absolute command?

Reached this episode on my rewatch...don't know how other people feel but this I thought was the first true 10/10 episode of S2.

We get so much insight into the psyche of Walt, and most importantly into Walt and Jesse as a duo. Their dynamic here was fleshed out more than in any other episode prior (for obvious reasons). And we also get to see things we already knew, but this time by bringing them completely onto the surface. The fact we see Walt facing the last leg of his existentialism - he's at the end of the road - really helps us take an actual peek into how he really feels after everything that's happened. In words, not just in his mind or in expressions.

And the ending being our very first outright confrontation with the fact that this wasn't all just for family, and more importantly - Walt WANTED to die. Because he wanted to go out on a high. Cook, set everything up for his loved ones, and go out on his own terms doing what he felt at home with, living dangerously and excitingly (as Hank once told him to), and being on top of the world.

But the concept of him surviving at the end is haunting for Walt. Its what really kills him. He cannot dare face going back to the "normal" life he once had NOW...after everything he's been through since then. That regular breakfast - school - dinner - sleep? That feeling of mediocrity? A sense of inadequacy? No. Thats what really kills him. And so the ending was him realizing: if he's faced with the prospect of survival...the only way for him to feel alive is he must go back to make a killing.

Como é interessante assistir breaking bad depois de mais velha, assisti essa série quando era pré adolescente e era o maior hype, eu gostei, a qualidade e escrita sempre foram impecáveis mas eu nunca fui muito fã obcecada. Agora com praticamente 25 anos estou reassistindo e realmente nunca vi uma série tão bem produzida, com detalhes e diálogos tão bem pensados. Hoje reassistindo tenho opiniões muito diferentes sobre tudo e todos, e eu não me lembrava de muita coisa.
Principalmente o fato de odiar praticamente todas as mulheres na época que eu assistia, e olha eu sou mulher, acho que quando eu era adolescente eu deveria ser meio idiota mesmo hahaha skyler e marie foram super esposas, eu detestava a marie mas agora vendo o quão paciente ela foi com o hank me admira, e hoje em dia eu realmente gosto da skyler e o hate em cima dela é absurdamente injustificável. Hoje em dia também realmente não sinto pena do jesse, ele fez viciados recaírem diversas vezes (a namorada dele de franjinha e os amigos depois) o que para mim é desprezível, quando a jane morreu eu fiquei com muita dó do pai dela e todo o enredo depois é de partir o coração. Estou começando a quarta temporada agr e to bem animada.

Major plot hole on bince's part. He can't keep getting away with this. Makes the show literally unwatchable

I watched it when it was ending because it was super hyped up, but never fully grasped the fools hue and deep themes.

Differences I noticed:

How big of an operation they were running (Gus and Cartel) and how serious it was . How much planning goes into it (I manage a business now) so I can see the pressures

How depressing it is. The cancer , the deaths, the addiction (which I’ve been through) and how much pressure it would be to have that much money that’s not clean. Hiding it from your family and just wanting to be alone . I could go more in depth but this show is super heavy and depressing when you watch as an adult because you can feel for everyone .

I used to hate Skylar , but I realized she was in the right. If I did what Walter did , my wife would kill me for dissapearing . Then throwing the meth money on her to launder , if I was her I would be pissed of bringing this toxicity into the family .

How much I appreciate Saul Goodman. He’s genuinly a good guy even if it’s for money he sticks up for his clients.

How successful Gus was at operations. I am an operations manager here and I can compare and contrast even though it’s drugs and revenue in the millions per day

Tedbeneke and the taxes , never understood but I do now.

And lastly , how I absolutely hate Walter white . When they brought Jesse into Gus inner circle and brought him in top level emissions , Walter was so jealous and throwing temper tantrums like a kid. Be a man bro , stop manipulating Jesse for your own benefit. Figure it out yourself . You messed up and you have to make up for it .

It broke my heart to the point it was unbearable when Jesse would go on a mission and get praised , then come back to Walt degrading him for not killing Gus. Like Bro, do it yourself. Not only that it’s not easy. I truly hate Walter and think he’s such a p*ssy idc how tough he is he acts like a girl. Definitely worst character.

If he would’ve just stuck with gale and made a bunch of money and been peaceful but would’ve worked together to take care of the cartel business when they wanted a chemist . All those things . Walter ruined everything like a loser .

Like his little brother. His secret weed stash dropped like a bomb and never touched again. And why Jesse ended up the way he did is also something I wished was a bit more developed. Was he just wanting a different & more “exciting” life from the comfortable & constructive upper class? Or was it driven more by issues with his parents? Or was his descent into the drug world driven by something else entirely? When did things become irreparable with his family? We got a close view of Walt’s family life & history but I always felt Jesse was a bit robbed in this regard as the other MC.

Just found out about this, love Jesse's character. I mean the way he deals with his life post Walter's death is so acted well

They always bring up this point that if Walter was exposed as Heisenberg, Hank would lose his job for not seeing what was right under his nose. But Hank was the only person who kept searching for answers about this case, even when everyone else was convinced it was a done deal. Would you really get fired for NOT solving a case like this?

I was in the middle of rewatching when the news about RJ broke. I immediately began viewing scenes with RJ differently, knowing that he was no longer with us and how he died. The show will always be tinged with sadness now.

ive watched whole thing several time and somehow i never payed atention. surely im not the only one

Context. Breaking Bad actor Luis Moncada received a relentless amount of emails surrounding the recent passing of RJ and this is his response.

Back in 2024, I was at the Renaissance Festival celebrating my 23rd birthday when I noticed someone in the distance talking to a group of people who looked a LOT like RJ Mitte. I remember turning to the people I was with and asking if I was seeing things or if that was actually him lol.

Eventually I decided to walk up to him and said, “RJ I love your work!” We ended up having a short conversation, and he was genuinely such a nice and down to earth guy. He even asked what brought me out to the Renaissance Festival that day, and when I told him it was my 23rd birthday, he joked about how I only had a couple more years until I was kicked off my parents health insurance 😂

It was such a random interaction but one that I’ll always remember. What stood out to me most was how genuine he seemed. He could’ve easily just said thanks and gone about his day, but he actually took the time to have a conversation with me.

I’m really glad I got the chance to meet him even if it was just for a few minutes. He seemed like a genuinely kind person, and it’s a memory I’ll always appreciate.

Are we supposed to assume he’s actively working at the car wash as a cover story? How does he have time for that with all of the illegal responsibilities he’s managing? Do Hank, Marie, or Jr never wonder where he is or what he’s doing?

Spoilers for some if the ending of BB and El Camino, which I just recently finished both for the first time.

When Walt finally uses Ed to disappear to New Hampshire in the show, Ed basically explains that he will never be able to leave the cabin. He even says that if he ever does leave the cabin, then Ed will stop helping him. The reason given for this is that Walt is the subject of a nationwide search, thus he cannot allowed to be free in any circumstance.

Yet, in El Camino, the movie very explicitly depicts that Jesse himself is actively being looked for by the police on a national level, and yet Ed just lets him be a normal fugitive in Alaska.

Why the drastic difference in how he handles things?

I’m on my first watch through of the show and im on episode 11 of season 4 and Walt has VOLUNTARILY crashed the car and the first thing in my mind was “wow that poor car getting messed up again” now all I can think about is, is Walter White even insurable at this point or is he just not reporting the what seems like weekly accidents?

I got to know abt this show from shorts and reels so thought of giving it a try I alrdy knew some spoilers and stuffs but when I started watching it I just kept on sometimes 8-10episodes in a day like I usually watch nax to max 3 episodes but Breaking bad is smthg very attractive to watch completed season 3 and I have heard next 2 seasons are pure bangers

I can't express my appreciation on how this show made me understand what a peak web series is never In my life I thought I would be watching 8-10 ep a day of this series. peak fiction
