    • @TheReelStuff
      @TheReelStuff Месяц назад +5

      @@KyleBaran90 The split of Season 5 into two parts was largely a business decision aimed at maximizing revenue, building hype, and maintaining the show’s visibility for a longer period. It also gave the writers more room to create suspense and set up a highly anticipated final run of episodes. splitting the final season of major TV shows had become a common practice. Other series like The Sopranos and Mad Men also adopted this strategy, partly because it kept fans engaged for longer and allowed networks to capitalize on popular shows during their final runs.

    Just to clarify, when Walt told everyone to hold when the train was about to move, he had _already_ gotten the methylamine. He was holding because they hadn't replaced all the water yet, and that weight difference would've given them away. It was risky but not necessarily greed, just keeping Homeland Security off his ass.

      @@doctafloI don’t think they diluted it very much. Even though water is denser, they were filling it from the top while methylamine was emptied from the bottom.

    Everything from before is called back in episode 8: The fly. The ticking watch. The same painting is in the hotel that Walt saw in his therapy session after the "fugue state" in season 2. The damaged paper towel dispenser. Lydia repeats Tuco's line: "We're gonna make a lot of money together." Walt repeats Mike's line: "Learn to take 'yes' for an answer." Walt repeats Jane's question to Jesse: "Who's we?" Uncle Jack repeats Jesse's "plan" about shooting Tuco: "Boom, boom, boom." Skyler repeats Gus' line from before the superlab reveal: "Take a drive with me." Walt and Jesse reminisce about old times. At the end on the patio, before it shows the family, the shots are staged and shot in the same exact way as the season 2 Pink Teddy Bear flash-forward. Walt jr. does a peekaboo to Holly, like Jesse did to the methheads' kid. Walt Jr. gets called away by Louis when he's with Skyler and Marie, just like in the third episode of season 1. And, of course, Gale's book of poetry. The past is not gone. The sins are not erased.

    40:34 "Is he just being greedy now?" "Yeah, 100% he is." Actually, he isn't. At this point all they're doing is pumping water back into the tanker to make up for the mass of methylamine they removed. If they stop prematurely, they don't leave with any less chemical, but they do have a much greater chance of the theft being noticed.

    27:00 In my opinion, Outcome 2 wasn't Jesse tells her the truth, so now Walt has "permission" to kill her and her son. As terrible as you think Walt has become, he's still not that far gone. Instead, I think Walt expected that, if Jesse were to tell her the truth, she'd leave. (Don't forget her recent history with her young brother.) So, in both scenarios, she's out of the picture.

    Walt lived long enough to see himself become the villan at which point his ego is his own worst enemy. The fact his character changed so much over the 5 season makes this show special for me. For most tv the characters are the same but the situations change, this show flips that.

    Mike is one of the most fascinating and complex characters in fiction. He was on a path to almost do the opposite of what Walter White was doing and got cut down before he could.
    One minute he is taking out dangerous foes and can be scary but the next minute he's doting on his granddaughter and looks like a regular family man. He's also the first person to see that it has become about ego for Walt.

    Sandwiched in between The Sopranos and Breaking bad was another critically acclaimed revolutionary cable drama called The Shield. It ran from 2002-2008 so it was running alongside Sopranos and ut's last season aired when BB debuted. It is phenomenal and has THE GREATEST SERIES FINALE OF ALL TIME.
    I hope you guys can one day watch The Shield. It has a bit of the wire, breaking bad and Sopranos. It was the Era of the Anti-hero and The Shield was no exception.

    What makes this whole show great other than the story, the characters (even when they are 'minor', have a ton of detail to them), the dialogue, the science and, well, pretty much everything. Is that this may be the best and longest portrayal of a sympathetic, even good protagonist who is an absolute villain by the end.

    I love the juxtaposition of starting off the season with the birthday bacon compared to starting off the show the same way. At first, he's a character we sympathize with, and he makes some bad choices. Very quickly, he starts to do questionable things. It becomes harder and harder to defend him. Then, in season 5, at the _peak_ of his vanity and avarice, he's just an irredeemable, rampaging villain. It's a cool arc to see a main character go through. It's a constant vacillation between "he needs to get his comeuppance" and "I really wanna see how this continues to play out."
