I don't know that Walt needs to see the metaphor for it to be a metaphor. I mean, he's lied to himself whenever faced with the consequences of his actions.
But here's my problem: I don't know that they have any dramatically satisfying moves left in them. Both Jesse & Walt have lost everything, Hank's going to start figuring things out with just the little bit of information that Skylar has, Saul will screw both Jesse & Walt for the right price, and both of them deserve it. Well, Walt especially. He has to be the most unlikeable main character of any dramatic series on TV. I mean, Tony Soprano had all that charm, Al Swearingen was actually a little sweet when he wasn't sticking a knife in someone, and Don Draper crosses the line sometimes, but he usually ends up on the pathos side of the equation.
That's what has me intrigued - I don't know what they have left to do. Redemption? That would be something if they pulled off.

And yet, don't you find yourself rooting for him to get that battery charged or make that distribution deal? I do.
A heads-up for people with Direct TV - they're running
Oz
and
Deadwood
commercial free on some subscriber-only (free) channel - 101.
I'm happy that
The Closer
is starting up tonight.
Thanks for the heads up, brenda. I watched Deadwood and enjoyed it.
sumi, me too. this was a good episode too!
It was.
Is it so wrong that I cried for Brenda and her kitty?
sumi, if that's wrong, I don't want to be right. Sniff.
Burn Notice: I loved Fiona's relaxation technique.
Oww (Leverage connected)
eta: Only spoilery as to the fact that Eliot is the tough guy fighter.
We know that already, right?
