When Jesse buys the house from his parents for 400K, Saul got the price down because of the meth lab that used to be downstairs. My question is though, that wasn’t exactly publicly available information, right? How would Saul prove there was a meth lab down there, and even if he could prove it, would raise the question of how he knew to begin with? Ofc we know that he found out through Jesse but if the parents were completely unaware of the meth lab, don’t see how Saul could sue them when they had no way of knowing.
Edit: Damn, I forgot the parents did, in fact, know about the meth lab in the basement. Makes a lot more sense now
I'm really sorry if people have said this already, but I have been binging the show for the first time. So far i'm on season 4 Episode 6. Anyway it's an amazing show but for years i've always heard hate for Skyler and I went into the show being fully prepared to hate this woman. Only to find out that Walt is the truly deplorable person in all of this. The only thing I don't really like about Skyler is the fact that she cheated on Walt. But even that can be somewhat justified. Overall she's a strong character, who is really just looking out for her family. The only other thing aside from the chearing thats negative about her is her nagging towards Walt at the beginning of the series. Anyway thats my rant, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't hate.
I love the following
On a clear day - the peddlers
Pick yourself up - nat king cole
Crystal blue persuasion - Tommy James and the shondells
Baby blue - bad finger
The winner takes it all - ABBA
I got the… - labi siffre
Address unknown/we three - the ink spots
Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, Handmaids Tale….anyone have any others …? I swear there’s other Hollys.
I heard that Giancarlo Esposito was struggling for years prior to getting the role to the point where he was going to arrange his own suicide so his kids would get the insurance money so I'm just wondering if any other cast members also were struggling prior to getting their roles eg Jonathan Banks, Aaron Paul etc?
Not really an Easter egg but still a connection that (further more) proves that everything in BB is intentional and that’s why I love it so much. Walter buying a Chrysler 300 in season 5 is perfect because Chrysler was invented by a man named WALTER CHRYSLER. I was just reading this “cool guides on car company’s history” on here and made the connection and wanted to share.
Watching the show for the third time. Currently in SE03,E07, "One Minute".
It always appeared far - fetched to me that, at that point of his transformation, and having already had people killed, would avoid just wasting Jessie in the hospital to be done with him for ever, and continue cooking his supreme quality product with his excellent assistant, Gayle, with whom he also shares personality traits. Surely he could've had Saul send Huell Babineaux or any one of Gus' henchmen to put something in Jessie's IV that not the best coroners would be able to detect.
It just doesn't seem as if whatever part of a conscience Walt still had at that point was strong enough to keep Jessie alive. I would've expected him instead to do whatever he could to put Jessie out of the equation.
What am I missing here? Could there have somehow been worse blowback if Walt had Jessie killed?
it really is teds fault for his business problems he didn’t sell his assets, he let his debt accumulate and probably owes a ton of money in both interest and compound interest . Underreporting to the irs on purpose thinking they wouldn’t find out. Didn’t sell his house which probably would’ve been worth 200k for the time period the show came out. Ted literally should never have been allowed run his father business the only reason he’s even in that position is because of his dad he has zero clue wtf he was doing, And was to prideful to realize his business was fucked even if he did payback the irs.
Hi Guys!
I'm a chemistry student and i decided to use my free times to make clips anout my fav shows. This is the first time I uploaded a video on youtube and I edited it myself. So it is likely a shi* 😂😂
I recently rewatched the show, and it's ridiculous to me, how much some people disliked her. For starters, people disliked her because of the "who's we" moment. Which, to me is Jane not being good at showing affection, which is pretty understandable, especially considering the amount of time they knew each other. She does give a great apology though, and she does get better at showing affection.
People also dislike her for blackmailing Walter, which I also don't understand. Her logic, that it was Jesse's money, and it's unfair Walter wasn't letting Jesse get his shares makes sense, and to an extent she was helping Jesse out. Besides, this is Breaking Bad, not Dora the Explorer, considering how much bad stuff has happened on the show, what she did is very mild. "How dare she blackmail the major drug kingpin murderer".
But the one, I do not understand at all is saying she only liked Jesse for his money. I don't even get the thought process of this one. She knew Jesse was caring and not selfish, I think it's pretty normal that if you find out your partner's extremely rich, that you would be under the impression they might use some of the money on you. And who wouldn't be excited that their partner has HALF A MILLION DOLLARS?
And she was dating him, showing affection and showing that she loved him and having a good time with him before she found out about the money. And she was doing this, to a guy, who came across as a junkie, who didn't have very much money who couldn't even pay for the house.
Another small one, is people disliking her for being an addict, which I think comes from a place of ignorance. Not understand how addiction works, and how some people no matter how hard they try, just can't help it. I don't think someone being an addict makes them a bad person.
I love that Jane was a complex character, who made Jesse happy. I think she was a great character, and I just don't get the hate.
I’m rewatching breaking bad and just realised in the first episode Walter is turning 50 and later in the episode skyler says she isn’t looking forward to turning 40.
In my head cannon this guy had a 50/50 chance of surviving here me out after they lite the fire he has 2 secs before it touches him they have their back turned 2 him as they are on a timeline he scrambles on top of that bench thing behind him, as Jacks men leave him plays into screaming making them think he's dead, as the fire is only short term the carbon monoxide gas created from the fire will be minimal however he needs to hold his breath as the gas could knock him out or do damage itself.
As he's in confinement Jacks men will have another shot at him but as the other 9 are dead Im sure Hank wouldve made it top priority to keep this guy alive, if by the time Hank gets a one on one with (and Jacks goon havent sliced ) him he'd spill his guts about Walter-Heisenberg and from there things would wrap up pretty quickly im sure
I am talking about the first time Saul told them about the pest control company and he told them they are also burglars. My question is Walt being smart even Mike how did they not think twice about partnering with criminals especially when they will know they will be cooking meth. Wouldn’t they at least be scared of blackmail?
Minor annoyance. Isn’t NM supposed to be hot? Why are people constantly wearing long sleeves, jackets and hats? Especially the baby. In every scene Holly is wearing hats. I’m a mom living in a cold climate and that baby wears more hats than my kids.
Take my True love by the hand (Ozymandias) is basically the exact same song as Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Never been, but in scenes like when Walt blows up the Challenger,he’s in a lot with an absolutely no cars. Is ABQ that sparce and overdeveloped that there are giant parking lots in the desert just not being used?
I don’t need to explain all the problems with how they essentially brainwash and indoctrinate the youth, starting in kindergarten…. I promise you, getting them younger and younger, only instills the taboo… but I think the actual purpose is the whole “police officers are super heroes and your friends trust them if you have a problem go to them….. if you see your mommy or daddy drink a glass of wine and get into the car to take you home from dinner tell an officer…” but I digress.
The reason DARE class was such an abject failure is because they were using scare tactics and totally made up statistics and twisted facts. So when you see one lie…. And another…. Eventually the credibility is lost. As well as resentment.
Breaking Bad is about as accurate as you can get for a fictional crime drama.
It doesn’t glamorize the life, if anything it would probably make the point better than hearing it from the guys who literally value the sick and suffering ao little they will illegally arrest you and try to manipulate you into turning informant. Essentially sentencing you to death.
Its the fly episode. So, in this episode Walt is obsessing over a fly that has entered the lab and worries that it will contaminate the product. Now, I think its fairly obvious that Walt's feelings weren't really about the fly, so I am curious what you all think was going on with him in this episode. (If any one of the writers, actors or showrunners has commented on this, please try to post a link or something.)
And I love it. I’m not sure why the spikes, weren’t mentioned though. Those are kind of important. Puffers are like sea hedgehogs. 🦔 or underwater porcupine 🌵 😆
As we all know, Jesse moved to Alaska at the end, but do you think he would have been able to start a new life, with a wife, kids, friends, a job etc. or do you think it's a case where he has to stay secluded and hidden for the rest of his life?
