I've heard Vince Gilligan discuss the idea in interviews and he seems really into it, though he happily handed the show over to the creator of the character because he believes that Gould deserves to be the showrunner (I think he said this in one of his Nerdist interviews).

Dave, that was a one time thing, we both agreed on that!

Janine recorded commentary for the cz before.

I can barely make it through one love song on an album.

She could claim she was afraid he'd hurt her if she retaliated. He did make that sinister phone call after kidnapping her baby, claiming during the call that this was punishment for her insolence, as well as claiming to have killed Hank for getting in his way.

Quirky, please, lets keep this relationship hypothetically professional.

I actually remember you, though I'm sure your heyday was well before mine.

Vulture did a really cool interview with the writer and director of Ozymandias. They talk a little bit about the phone call, the fights, Jessie and so on. A lot of it is more technical than particularly revealing but I liked it a lot. Especially learning that baby Holly saying momma was unscripted.

What do I think of you?

I agree with everyone else that Walt was making up excuses for the horrible crimes he was committing and that he didn't do any of this for his family, he only ever did it for himself, however I think he does genuinely care about his family and he does genuinely want to maintain his status as a criminal and family man,…

Well they might look a lot alike nonetheless. Don't be so closed-minded SBT.

On the podcast Dan said he really took notice of the fan service in season four and how that backfired on them, and then all these guest stars happen. It's not just people coming back either, it's new people too. It's weird, I don't know how the hell this is all going to happen in 13 episodes, unless one specific…

Critics! What do they know!?!

I think its proof that Walt never really lost his humanity after all and has essentially remained the same person, though a bit warped due to his unconventional experiences. He desensitized himself to the violence and lied to himself while appeasing his ego but he's still Walter White and I actually think there's…

I didn't mean to imply that we're all rooting for Walt now and that he's going to be a hero and the show will have a happy ending. It's definitely a tragedy and there's no going back on that, however Walt can't disguise himself as Heisenberg anymore and he can't tell himself he's doing all of this for his family. He…

Low Winter Sun is pretty much the only thing to watch on Sundays this television season, but boy is it an enjoyable program!

Skylar totally got what he was doing, and I think a lot of viewers did too, judging from what I've read. I took it as Walt realizing that he couldn't pretend to be Heisenberg anymore.

tl;dr

When in reality he was crying and broken. It does add to prop up the myth in some ways but it also deconstructs it. He basically sounds like your average wife-beater in that phone call. Someone who feels weak so he harms his wife in order to feel in-control and more powerful. It makes Heisenberg feel more like your…

The series isn't over yet but it's pretty much done at this point. All that's left is Walt's redemption and hopefully a glimpse at the future (I really want to know how much therapy Walt Jr is going to need in order to function after having to stop a knife fight between his mom and drug-lord pa). Here's what I think…
