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.
...I think I might need to start watching Breaking Bad.
Burn Notice back June 3rd!!
Woo hoo!
New epsode of
Saving Grace
tonight.
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.

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.
Thanks for the Saving Grace heads up, dcp, my DVR was not going to catch it for me.
It can only track 50 series at once. I can't believe I actually watch that many shows, but I always seem to have it maxed out. Some of them are things that are on hiatus that I am afraid I'll forget to put back in when they come back, but still, that seems like a lot of TV.
Not only is it all arc, but the (now) three seasons have all happened in a very short period of time. Skylar was very pregnant when we started and the baby is now probably not more than 4 months old.
I think she knows why and she knows he would give her a bullshit reason.
To me, "I thought I was dying and would leave you guys with nothing" is acceptable but doesn't carry through past the poitn where he a) had the initial amount desired and b) knew he was no longer dying. Somewhere, I heard the story of this show as pitched as "the story of a good man who chooses to go bad" or something a little catchier than that. And it was the point where Walt decided to keep going for his own ego that, I think, marked Walt crossing a line that I don't think he can really cross back over without going to jail.
You know, it was the lawyer who sent the cleaner over to Walt's, but the cleaner is obviously pretty close to Mr. Pollos. So perhaps the "wife problem" will be the stick.
