Breaking Bad/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

** {{spoiler|The extremely moving music as Gus walks to his death reminds you that he was once a similar guy to Walt, and he'll die failing to get his final revenge on the people who killed his "brother".}}

** Simlarly, the sheer amount of anger and sadness in {{spoiler|Hector's}} face as he looks at {{spoiler|Gus}} before {{spoiler|setting off the bomb that will [[Taking You With Me|kill both of them]]}} makes you almost feel sorry for him.

** It's hard to decide if Walt's "cooking" is retaliation for a world that never cut him a break or a genuine desire to provide for his family. Not that they're necessarily mutually exclusive.

** Skyler, good woman who's acting poorly due to her husband's action? Simple human frailty? Control freak who ran the family up until Walt's Break Bad and is now looking for any method to put him under her thumb in some form of twisted love?

** Or neither. His actions make people's sympathy for him swing like a pendulum. In some instances he's actually shown to have one of the higher moral standard of anyone in the show (in regards to certain things, like kids).

** The [[Bloody Hilarious|bathtub incident]]? Walter's fault, not Jesse's. Did it never occur to Walter to explain to Jesse ''why'' he absolutely needed to use plastic? Especially since the idea of an acid that eats through rock, glass, metal, and ceramic, but not plastic, is kind of counter-intuitive. Granted, using ''his own'' bathtub was kind of dumb, but only in that you wonder how he planned to rid of the slurry afterwards.

* [[Too Cool to Live]]: {{spoiler|Tortuga}}

* [[Wangst]]: Skyler at times. Marie seems to be following suit as of recently.

** Ted. "I just received a mysterious inheritance equivalent to the amount of back taxes I owe. What should I do with it? I know! Buy an expensive car and 'hold out for a better deal.'"

** Gale. {{spoiler|What kind of moron leaves his notes for cooking meth lying around in his apartment?}}
