This is indeed the Breaking Bad thread.

So Jesse has embraced that he is the bad guy and Walt refuses to accept being the bad guy.

Yeah, and, really, Walt has been a worse guy than Jesse. Jesse has seriously fucked up, but Walt has both done worse and admitted it to himself less. And, yet, I am still rooting for him to not get killed by the scary guys with skulls on their toes (DH pointed out that they are reminiscent of the Gentlemen with their silence and the wasy they will sometimes look at each other before they do something. Adds to the scary)

Trust my rage

They didn't say a word the entire episode, did they?

The people crawling was super eery to me until I figured out that it was a religious thing (only about two seconds before they showed the chapel).

Yes, I think Jesse is more accepting and Walt probably is the worse guy. Jesse was never a good guy, but it wasn't until he teamed up with Walt that started dealing with dead bodies and stuff.

I think it's interesting that Skylar never asked Walt (although she did ask that boss guy) why? And that Walt made no offer to explain. I would think she would have this powerful internal drive to know what made Walt do this and I would think he would want to explain himself.

I think Walt's broken windshield shows some major denial. I think he believed all those things he was telling the cop (about how he was basically a victim of the crash) and I thought the windshield was a pretty powerful symbol of Walt's divorce from reality.

One last thought - if I remember from last season, the Pollos guy knows that Walt is Hank's BIL. I thought he might be pissed about that but it didn't come up. And apparently he either respects Walt enough, or thinks he's a good enough cooker, that he was willing to just let him walk away from the business. I don't think Tony Soprano would have allowed that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

...I think I might need to start watching Breaking Bad.

Yeah, the crawling was eerie.

I would think she would have this powerful internal drive to know what made Walt do this and I would think he would want to explain himself.

I think she knows why and she knows he would give her a bullshit reason. I also think she asked her boss what he would tell his kids because she was thinking about Walt Jr. She's in a really tough spot there - not wanting to trash him to the kid, but by not giving a reason she looks like the jerk. And the bosses answer - that he just hadn't thought that far, really - was more honest than anything Walt has said to anyone about his motives.

You know, when he was driving along before he got pulled over, my husband and I were remarking to each other that hat least he got the windshield fixed because the shot was in through the front of the car and we weren't seeing cracks. Which, yeah, you are dead on right about the denial. I'm glad its been made explicit that Walt knows that the crash was caused by the air traffic controller grieving the daughter that Walt killed. Big time denial.

if I remember from last season, the Pollos guy knows that Walt is Hank's BIL

Ohhhh. I'd forgotten that. i'll have to think about that some more.

He's not letting him walk away. He called off the silent skull-toed guys because he's going to get Walt cooking again. He's just very confident he make that happen, I think. He's offered the $3M carrot, I don't think we've seen the stick yet, but he's got one.

Watch, Zenkitty, watch! It's really good, in its painful and disturbing way.

I want to see Breaking Bad, but I think I need to watch from the beginning.

It would be hard to pick up partway through, I think. It's all arc.
