Yeah, I was wondering the other day if she ever found out he had cancer.
That’s one of the most glaring storytelling conceits about Breaking Bad: other family members might get referenced, but it’s like the Whites and the Schraders live on an island together and never associate with anybody else.
If I had to take a guess, Walt probably doesn’t like his mother very much, which would explain the lack of contact. Either that or she just wasn’t neccessary to the plot
One of the most memorable moments for me this season was when Walt very briefly delved into his life before his family to Jesse, in one of those rare moments of vulnerability. It was interesting that he noted while he loved his dad, yet he implied wanting to be more than what he was. That was one of the few times I really wondered about his past.
Kind of strange now that I think about it. I’ve been more concerned with knowing more about Gustavo “I know who you are” Fring’s past than Walt’s early years.
I respectfully disagree. Walt treats Jesse with unimportance to feed his ego and exalt himself, but I don’t think a slavemaster would ever risk his mortality and main objective (i.e. making money for his family) for a mere slave. Jesse clearly means more to him but Walt only accepts that reality when his tenuous bond with Jesse is threatened.
Wow. It’s hard to remember Jessee not being a whiny pussy bitch.
Just caught that callback with Walt Jr. telling Walt to “Just die. Just give up and die already.” Damn. Everything in this damn show comes full circle.
there goes Elliot that little bitch
I remember the first time Walt ever pulled one of his confidence-boosting “you have to do this for me” monologues with Jesse, with the reassuring tone and the manful grip on the shoulder and the whole schmeer. We’re so used to seeing Jesse just eat those moments up, to the point where the last one in the desert was such a subversion. But the first time, as soon as Walt gripped him by the shoulder, Jesse got this freaked-out look and goes, “Uh, what are you doing?” Cracks me up every time I go back to watch it, which I’ve done a few times by now.
Breaking Bad is one of very few shows where I’ve seen every episode twice or more. Not counting the new stuff, obviously.
I’M A BLOWFISH!!
No wonder Walt got drunk with power. Son being an ungrateful cunt telling him to die, wife’s a controlling bitch and people in general stepping all over him, enough to drive a man crazy.
One missed opportunity is that the series never dug deep enough into the whole Grey Matter ordeal, would’ve love to see what that was all about. Maybe DVD extras will fix that
We just need an origin story on all these characters lol
And then when he starts to get care of his son, provide for the family the wife wants to go to work and on top of that to the guy who once tried to fuck her brains out.
Lol at the Jesse and Badger fight. He tried to shoot Jesse with a crossbow
lol Hank with the poker analogy
S-S-S-S-Shut the fuck up retarded…
At THAT moment is when Walt should’ve slapped the shit out of Jr. No way my kid would call me a “pussy” and still be conscious
There goes Skylar being a total controlling bitch again
I forgot Marie was a doctor lol
Medical assistant, so, just a glorified nurse.
It isn’t controlling to not want your spouse to die.
Then again, if she’d conceded to him, they could have skipped the whole “Walt ruins everybody’s life” part of the series.
So really, Skyler is the real Heisenberg.
Nothing wrong with not wanting a spouse to die, but Skylar is cutting Walt off when he speaks and DEMANDING him to do stuff. I understand its a high strung situation, but Let the man choose and be a man for once
EDIT: Walt finally become “Heisenberg” and confronts Tuco, one of my favorite moments
I forgot how fucking batshit insane Tuco was
