Yeah, the pizza was HUGE but I’ve seen pizzas that big before. I want to say the Prius looking SUV Walt drives is a Pontiac of some sort, but I’m not sure where I got that idea. ---

Walt drives a [Pontiac Aztek]([http://images.google.com/images?q=pontiac](http://images.google.com/images?q=pontiac) aztek). ---

Walt’s car is the ugliest car known to man, the [Pontiac Aztek](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Aztek). Plus the absolute worst color option. Blech. But I think people got good deals on these because they are butt-ugly. Skyler’s car is a Jeep Grand Cherokee. A V-6, so even on her car they went cheap. ---

[This is the front of Jesse’s car](http://static.amctv.com/img/originals/breakingbad/downloads/BreakingBad_800x600_02.jpg) (the red one- I think he’s driven another one on the show, and of course there’s the RV).

Nah, that’s the one shot up in the confrontation with Tuco. He’s driving a beat up red Toyota Tercel wagon now. ---

I just want to reiterate that the pizza heave onto the roof was one of the top five moments in television history. ---

Pizzas that big aren’t super common but they aren’t particularly unusual, either. I used to get pies that big from New York Ray’s. ---

I think the producers should boost publicity with Breaking Bad themed pizza tossing contests. The trophy for first place should contain blue crystal. ---

They could even have Bryan Cranston there in all his pizza-tossing legendary gloriness.

"Walter: “Can’t we at least sit down and eat a piece of pizza together? Just to hash things out like adults.” Skyler: “We discussed everything we need to discuss. I thought I made myself very clear.” Walter: “I got dipping sticks…” ---

I know that the Aztek is meant as a symbol of how beat down Walter is, but I wonder if at some point he’ll buy something else to replace it. Not necessarily anything flashy like a Mercedes, but something less of a POS than the Aztek. ---

So in real life, would Walt have to pay regular income tax on the hundreds of thousands he received through the Save Walt White website? Since Walt Jr./Flynn never expected it to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars he obviously wouldn’t have started a tax free corporation (and maybe a few hundred dollars was legit), but since it really was started to pay medical bills I wonder if he’ll get a break. For that matter I wonder if Skyler would have a claim to it in the divorce proceedings, or even if Walt Jr. could claim it all for himself. ---

[quote=“AuntiePam, post:1, topic:534185”] So, can someone who’s maybe been divorced or separated explain what Walt was thinking when he broke into his house? " I went through a similar situation, albeit not because of making drugs, just in general wife wanted me out of the house. While I was more interested in trying to keep my family together, had three little kids (wife and I did not fight) she just “fell out of love.” She had changed the locks, we were not legally divorced and house was in both our names, so one night I just went back and refused to leave, trying to show her decisions were selfish and hurting the family. I was a stay at home dad for years and the kids were my life, so moving out with my mother was too much to deal with. Eventually out of revenge my wife did the same thing as Walt’s did. The police told me I had every right to live in my own house, to kick the door in and take whatever I wanted until divorce was final and house was sold. They could not do anything unless I was committing a crime or proven to be a threat.
