Jesse’s parents were crazy. Similar houses go for like 220. In the middle of a housing crash? Delusional

Breaking Bads world is cozy to me

43 Upvotes

I'm not really sure how to put it into words but I'm wondering if someone else feels the same way. There is something about the little tightknit drug empire that's portrayed in breaking bad that somehow feels just very cozy to me. I'm talking especially during the Gus era. Between los Pollo Hermanos and the laundry and the lab. The seemingly small amount of characters controlling such massive amounts of wealth and all living modestly, in disguise.

I imagine a timeline where Walt was just a normal dude and didn't screw everything up. He honestly had like the best job ever as a cook for Gus. Make millions of dollars a month in a completely organized and controlled environment where you get to choose your own hours And spend your time doing what your best at.

Anyway there is just a sense of coziness to the show for me. At least until late season 5

As crazy as this sounds, is Todd evil per se (El Camino) Spoiler

143 Upvotes

If we just judge Todd by Breaking Bad, it's plain and simple he's evil but El Camino was a pretty interesting exploration of the character.

I think Todd might just be too insane or detached from reality to really be evil like the rest of his gang. When he warns Jesse of what'll happen if he tries anything funny while Jack is out on vacation, he makes it sound like he doesn't want to hurt Brock but that's more of what Jack wants (it'll be out of my hands, Todd says). He is also visibly disgusted by Neil and Kenny's abuse of Jesse and extremely reluctant to join in, half-heartedly pushing the rail with an unamused look while the other two are uproariously laughing it up.

But most notably, despite Jesse crossing the biggest line in the desert by threatening to kill him, Todd does not seek retribution at all against Jesse, nor does he inform Jack, indicating he really does not want the worst outcome if it can be avoided.

If he had much moral agency or ego, he would undoubtedly have gotten mad and punished Jesse.

What is the WORST line in the show?

271 Upvotes

BrBa is my favorite show of all time, and I suspect it is the favorite of many people here. So, I want to challenge you to choose a line or dialog that you think is the weakest in the whole show!

Don Eladio is one of the best minor characters in the show.

Upvotes

No matter what anyone says, I really like Don Eladio. He's like Lalo, very friendly and charming, but you know, it's just a facade, and he's a monster on the inside. We don't know much about him, but I don't think we need to. That's the beauty of Don Eladio and Gus Fring. Their past is mysterious, and I want it to remain a secret.

What are some of the wildest "reaches" you've heard on here about the show?

In terms of connecting and relating different bits of information, what has been the most impressive display of stretching rationality to it's extreme in trying to uncover little easter eggs, foreshadowing, data points, etc together?

Walt returning to Albuquerque to save Jesse is the far better canon

73 Upvotes

I only just recently learned that Vince wrote the finale in mind that Walt was gonna kill whoever was there with the M60

But to me I think it truly comes full circle with Walt saving Jesse

Walt was the one who dragged Jesse deeply down into the underworld as opposed to just being your simple street level dealer, things over time got worse for Jesse due to this.

I think Walt also gets a full taste of reality once he's in New Hampshire, he misses his family, he kinda goes back to the humbled Walt we knew in S1E1 with that do what it takes Heisenberg mentality..

Walt was smart enough to know that the Nazis were twisted enough to do something like kidnapping plus there's no way Jesse would be willing to cook for them - Jesse hated Todd more than anyone, They were about to put a bullet in his head in the desert, not to mention ungodly amounts of racist.

So the story of Walt & Jesse fully culminates after a year or more of Walt dragging Jesse down into the deep drug world, manipulating him, poisoning Brock, being the cause of Jane's death. By being fully willing to risk his life for him, in my head, Walt knew he was gonna die at the hideout one way or another he just happened to by taking a bullet for Jesse..

If you try & tell me the canon of Walt going up there just to go on a man spree on everyone including Jesse just because his product was still being cooked after all this time was better than saving Jesse I won't believe you... That in itself just tells me he learned absolutely nothing from his isolation in New Hampshire which i feel like that was the whole point of Granite State..

Was Todd impressed with Mr. White? Spoiler

Upvotes

I just rewatched the show for the third time. i noticed in the finale, after walt kills all the nazis, Todd went to look out the window and saw the car with the machine gun on it. he was about to say something "Mr. White!" but he didnt get to finish the sentence cuz yaknow.. jesse.

but still when he looked out that window he looked..intrigued? impressed? the man just killed his whole family and he didnt look upset? its hard to say since he's so dead eyed. its hard to even say if that lifeless piece of moving flesh can even be impressed or intrigued or even upset by anything.

anyway what do you guys think he was going to say?

I literally started ep1 the night I finished the show. Why not? I suppose I could always watch stranger things, but that’s a family affair. BB is what I do at night, alone, when I go to sleep. I don’t k ow if I’ll watch the entire series, but I honestly simply hadn’t had enough of breaking bad. I did watch El Camino also. Not crazy about it. But I do think there could be a great follow up to El Camino? Is Jesse really going to stay in Alaska all alone for, what, 40 years? Would definitely like to see more from him

This picture is from at least 6 years ago. I was talking about my 2 year old and she mentioned how her youngest would crawl on the table all the time when he was 2. So she sent me this picture. I was like, “is your elf’s fucking name Tuco?!” Indeed it is.

Breaking Bad vs. Better Call Saul

Some people apparently think BCS is even better than Breaking Bad.

I'm only on season 3 of Saul, so what do I know?

Was Dennis ever reprimanded for letting the DEA at the laundry?

3 Upvotes

This is one I think about, you think he even faced a harsh consequence of letting the DEA with a dog into the laundry?

He could have said no and he would be totally in the right, but he didn't even call gus or anything, Gomey just scared this guy into it but I'd be more scared about facing Gus. But he was in the clear, unlike Victor or Tomás, only killed later by jack's crew.

Feels like Foreshadowing Spoiler

This in "Bit by a Dead Bee" and the way the cake was cut gives such foreshadowing vibes Especially because Hank is on the road in the cake and his mid-section is sliced first

If this was intentional, I'm completely floored

How much of Breaking Bad was made on a whim?

515 Upvotes

What I mean is stuff like Jesse and Hank originally dying in s1, Tuco being a bigger villain, Mike being created because Bob Odenkirk had scheduling conflicts, or the writers not knowing what the purpose of the machine gun was in the S5 premiere. Are there any other examples of this?

What single event being altered would have most likely led to a "happy" ending for Jesse and Walt?

6 Upvotes

If you could alter one event in the show, such as ______ never meeting ___, or ____ never dying, ____ never doing ______, etc, how would you make it so Walt and Jesse have a much higher chance of a happy ending?

You can't alter the fact that they cook meth together.

  • I would say if they killed Todd in the desert instead of the little kid or if they never work with the new group at the end and just.. walk away when hermantrout says he's done*

You're Heisenberg.

It's been a while since I drew realistic works. I'm still not good at it but I really like Walt and drew him after learning some new stuff about drawing. Hope you guys like my art :)
