Badass, or sociopathic?
On the contrary, Saul is the only intelligent person on this show. At this point he's made more money than Walt and Jesse combined (that he hasn't lost or had stolen) and he's got through it with almost no bullets fired his way. (Almost)
CUM INSIDE ME!
That's the first time you saw it? Lucky to be you. It appeared at last year's Superbowl, unless I'm mistaken.
Jesse is still Jesse, though. He's lived a criminal life, and part of that criminal life is not talking to the cops. It's not even in his playbook. Burning a house down that may have a baby in it, on the other hand…
Not just that, but many want Walt to kill Skylar.
I call them the Call of Duty generation. IE, people who glory in violence as the solution of problems. I was one of them before college, I'll admit. Most of my fantasies involved beating people up who were mean to me or thought differently than me. That's the thing about humans: we like the easy, fast way. Violence,…
Hey, he's still got to murder Holly, all right?
Exactly. To answer your question, though, it's because the internet is made for debate and HOW DARE YOU DON'T CHOOSE A SIDE YOU COWARD!
@avclub-3e4f6dea564f9b7f87c72c07fd3f761e:disqus The difference between BB and The Dark Knight is that no one in Dark Knight was morally justified. That was the point. They were all bad in one way or another. The Joker's bad was just a little different then usual, therefore interesting.
I just like seeing what the writers can do on this show. Frankly, it's astounding.
I appreciate Walt's well-written villainy on a green-with envy level. That said, I never get as emotionally attached as some people I see here do to things like BB. Is it my favorite show of all time by now? Probably, yes. But I am not hoping for Walt to die, nor am I hoping for Walt to live. I just want the writers…
Av Club's trying to give the rest of BB A-'s so they can claim hipster status in 20 years.
My Breaking Bad commitment: we don't have cable in the new apartment, but the gym in our complex does. So I exercise on a treadmill for an hour while watching Breaking Bad at 10 at night. I get a lot of weird looks, but today I burned 500 calories!
Also, is Holly in the house? OMYGOD SOMEONE HELP THAT BABY!
Me neither, but the themes are there. Alan Moore used them in Watchmen to the same, great effect.
It isn't completely because they are women, but that is a factor. After all, Jesse is at this point just as much a buzz kill on Walt's fun-happy-times as Skylar is (even more so, I would argue, since he quit and Skylar is still in it), yet people consider Jesse the best character on the show. It's a bit reductionist…
It's an ongoing problem. I had an argument over on io9 about whether Skylar is bad compared to Walt. The lunatic said they were "just as bad" as each other, at which point the Earth stopped spinning and hell froze over.
I think Todd will be the only one. He's such a blank figure, completely amoral, that I think the morality of the show can't get to him. Then watch him die tonight since I said that.
My guess is Lydia puts a hit out on Hank (or else does something to try and save her meth business) that ends up killing someone close to Walt, either one of his kids or Skylar or perhaps even Marie. This enrages Hank, who dies trying to take down Lydia. Walt flees, and is now returning to town to claim his ruined…
