I love how vince is so down to earth

IDK. Probably a little self-sabotage. Walt may have been struggling with some guilty. On a side note, Bryan Cranston is one of the great actors of his era. He is tremendous.

The guy that asked the question played a role, I belive in Better call Saul? Who is he? I believe he's an actor.

Even geniuses are human. Humans make mistakes, we all do. We should still listen to experts most of the time, and yet not even they have it all figured out, sometimes the most prudent thing to do is to take it with a grain of salt. Not a single one of us understand everything about everything or everyone, even of the field we are proposed "experts" in, we all have our blindspots/sometimes we do indeed get careless/not mindful about things because we think we're untouchable/are 'safe.' It can and does happen to the best of us.

Walter lived a pretty wild life. Up until that point he'd gotten away with literally everything else, only his Wife had ever found out the truth. Krazy 8's killing, his involvement with Tuco, the killing of the two dealers Jessie was going to kill, Gus, Mike.. The truth is that Gale, both in the series and Walter's mind, was a footnote. It's the best part of the twist, a character the audience and the other characters basically shrugged off ended up being the thing that gets Walter caught.

I never understood why fans act like Walt was a master at this, he makes so many mistakes throughout the series and would just barely survive multiple times. This was just another mistake in a long line of them

love that part of the show of course but its so funny how people act as if its some badass scene when its an insecure maniac screaming at his wife about how hes really cool

The real question is, why on earth would Hank pick up and read a poetry book.

"This show is yours as much as it is ours" That's a true artist, he understands it's not just for people like him watching, it's for us

So one of the best writers of his time and with one of the best shows did what GoT did years later "he kind of forgot" and yet one is glorified and the other(s) bullied. Having said that, it was bad in both shows. Im not defending anybody.

I chalked it up to why the FUCK would Hank or anyone else not use the hallway bathroom and use the one in their bedroom?

Those aren't buoys.

Seems like a weak answer :\ He says he's not "passing the buck" but yeah.....I think that was just lazy writing.

I thought it was Skylar that found the book and put it in there? This is a great question though.

How is Dr. Darling qualified to talk about Breaking Bad?

I like that he just forgot or never realized its incremenating nature.

Just say it was bad writing 😂you knew it was going to be a bs answer when he started taking forever

I dunno... to me, it's more a commentary on how little Walt thought of Gail to begin with. Gail idolized Walt; even though he was almost his equal, yet Walt didn't seem to care much for him at all. I can totally envision a situation where he gave Walt the book on poetry, and he thought so little of the book or gift it never registered. Lord knows I've gotten gifts that I just leave on the table for a while before I do anything with because I'm so preoccupied with other matters...

It was just him underestimating the fact that the actual book and being in his home would somehow be something to incriminate and expose him after all that time and after being done with the business. That no one would go that deep into it and link him with the other scientist. So it was just there in the Bathroom. Hank was only one who could find it and link it but it just skipped Walts mind and it was a minor detail he just did not think about in a cautious sense

ComPLETEly disagree with the question asker. Walter isn't a one dimensional character. He's written as a real person. He and Gale had a mutual appreciation of art, and he therefore had the book by the toilet. His two sides were not completely separate. His family and peers knew the one side of him, which was the same side which resonated with Gale.

plot convenience.

As if Walter was some master criminal rather than a bumbling fool who was a criminal for one year before he had to go on the run. This is a guy running over people in a public park and then shooting them in the head and people think he wouldn't leave a book in the bathroom?

My biggest question is how did Bryan Cranston go from a top tier comedy to a top 5 drama

Well Walter just kinda forgot about the iron fleet… I mean the poetry book.

I think getting a book as a gift, never opening it, and putting it on the back of a toilet is the most normal human interaction, and Walt had no idea it was inscribed. Why would he have known? For Gale to do that was so beyond how anyone else in that business had acted. It was actually that act of unexpected kindness and sincerity from Gale that caught Walt. That's how I read it

because bad writing

"walter in all his genius and planning" did we watch a different show? Sure he does come up with some good plans and knows a lot about chemistry but he was no Gus Fring

Bravo Vince!

This is not the real question or issue, though. The real issue is, knowing that the book was so special to Walter, and the intellectual person Walter was, he would not keep such a book in his bathroom. Especially considering the other reading material that was there. It would be more likely he would have it on his bookshelf, but in the story Hank has to discover the book in privacy. It is not a huge deal, because it could (and should) have been done differently. Nonetheless, it clearly is a continuity slip up on part of the writers.

I guess the same reason Vincent Vega left the machine gun OUTSIDE the bathroom, it fit the narrative.

If I own the show as much as he does, when do I get my royalty cheque?

That's the way I've always seen it... It just never crossed Walter's mind to hide the book.

dream blunt rotation

Reminds me of when Gus tells Walt how he isnt a cautious man.

I feel it's narratively very important that Walt gets caught because of a mistake he makes. His central characteristic is always his ego. He can't accept that he needs the support of his friends and family to pay for his treatment. He can't accept that he needs to depend on his wife. He can't accept that his son think Hank is cooler than him. He can't accept Jesse as an equal. He can't accept that Gus, Saul and Mike know how to run a criminal organization better than him. He can't accept that Gale could do his job. He constantly needs to create problems for everyone just so he can solve them. Nobody can have anything under control because Walt needs to be the one who has everything under control. But of course the point of the story is that he doesn't. Walts attempts at fixing things always lead to more problems and so he and everything around him continues to spiral out of control. Walt adapts to this by pretending that this is what he wants. The more he loses control the more he convinces himself that this chaos is actually what he wanted in the first place. In the end he knows that he will lose and end up in jail so his ego leaves him no other choice but to sacrifice himself to gain a feeling of having control over the situation again. This is why i think it's important that leaving the evidence for Hank to find wasn't deliberate. Walt would never want people to think he made a stupid mistake. He'd want people to believe that it was deliberate to cover up that he actually made a mistake.

The writers made it difficult with the Marie character but when she had her moments they hit like a ton of bricks (that elevator scene Dean talks about was incredible with zero dialogue). Plus I always thought Betsy seemed like the sweetest person and that helped too.

Exactly. Walt maybe didn’t even open the book to see it inscribed.

What did he mean at the end?

I’d leave it there on purpose to get noticed for my achievements lol

I always loved how it was just a simple mistake and That feels like real life, I’ve lost times in my own life of where I’ve thought of all sorts of scenarios and the one thing I don’t think of seems to come up! 😂

Nothing enters my shithouse without authorization.

people need to get back to reality a bit, not everything is specific events chained backwards, most stuff is just random or overlooked

Isn't it a pretty well-highlighted character trait of Walt's that he is often careless? When Gus first meets with Walt, he even explicitly says he doesn't think Walt is careful. He was just always fortuitous or was sufficiently quick-thinking to get away with his carelessness in the past.

"Breaking Bad is as much yours as it is mine at this point." Awfully nice of Vince to say that-but it's not true. If I could make changes to BB, other than the obvious(Walter not going all in in the first place) it would be that NO CHILDREN DIE!! Seriously, how many boys die through the series, like 3? That's not including the Wayfarer crash or the Cousins killing all those immigrants. That and: Bianca doesn't die, Mike doesn't die, Hank doesn't die, Gomey doesn't die, and Walt has an ending similar to the end of Rambo: First Blood, with Hank filling in for Colonel Sam Trautman.

2:33 almost didn't caught that Seinfeld question

Oh, I never knew Petyr Baelish created Breaking Bad.

a series maker who knows the series and thinks about it. rings of power should take an example.

Sure, as someone just watching the show every reason why Walter did that is valid as an interpretation because no one can read his mind. At the same time the writers made the decision to put the book there and I personally would be interested to ask why it was written that way by them. In reality "Walter" didn't do anything because he is a fictional character, the writers wrote his actions.

Anna Gun gave the best response to that scene, better than I have ever heard anyone else say.

I dont think walt thought that the random book could ever be linked to a crime. No names were written.
