“Everybody’s talkin’ at me
I can’t hear a word they’re saying…”
I think of him as a poor man’s Matt Damon.
Just drivin’ around in Jon Voigt’s car?
Or, as I’ve seen elsewhere on the internet, “Meth Damon”.
Interestingly, Todd displayed a cruel bullying streak at a very young age.
More seriously, for those who haven’t seen it, Jesse Plemons (who plays Todd) is also in the wonderful Friday Night Lights, playing a gentle geeky high school student.
There was a scene (I think in season 4) with Walt and his son watching Scarface. Walt said something along the lines of: “I forgot, everyone dies in this movie”.
So my prediction is that everyone dies: Hank, Gomez, Jesse, Walt, Todd and the Nazis, and Lydia too.
I don’t think Hank or Jesse will die in the shootout with the Nazis (Gomie will). But, I also don’t think Hank is going to live to see Marie again.
If Jesse dies - and I still think he might not - it won’t be until the finale. But I really want to see Jesse outsmart Walt and redeem himself in the end.
I read in an article somewhere that (VERY BAD SPOILER BELOW)
…Jesse shoots himself and dies
But that was before the final 3 episodes began airing so I don’t know WTF that writer was talking about.
Have you guys seen the Breaking Bad parody that Jimmy Fallon did? Because it’s absolutely freakin’ brilliant!!
Hank is not a “good guy,” for crying out loud. He has forsaken his principles for his pride and prejudice, just as Walt and everyone else has. Walt is the focus of this narrative, but in the sense that he represents what is present in varying degrees in everyone: he’s venal and self-serving, despite convincing himself he’s a man of integrity. Hank has lost his way, just as everyone else in the show has. To miss this idea is to miss the principal theme of the story.
In the Talking Bad recap show, I think Chris Hardwick described Gomez as the only clean character in the show. I’m not sure whether he forgot about Walt Jr or he considers him unclean, because I thought Walt Jr was fairly innocent. (He is driving a car bought with the proceeds of his father’s crimes, but he doesn’t know that.)
Well, there was that one time in an early episode when he asked an undercover cop to buy beer for him and his friends. Not sure which circle of Hell that will land you in. Maybe you’ll get a quick peek into Hell’s waiting room to scare you straight.
You see, its completely unrealistic shit like this that ruins this show for me and makes in nearly unwatchable!
They actually made a point of announcing this the day after “Buried” aired. I think they wanted to make sure a bunch of people didn’t go crazy and flock to the studio or get lost in the desert looking for some kind of prize.
Gomez was clean, but he broke bad with Hank. Walt Jr. is a vacuous teenager, himself an unholy mixture of innocence and corruption, if only in his attitude towards the world. Molly is the only true innocent, but only temporarily.
No, she broke bad the instant she changed her name.
And let’s not forget driving around the pool with no sunscreen on! Kid’s gonna be a burden to the taxpayers, that one.
The current issue of “The New Yorker” has an interview with Bryan Cranston about his acting life. It features how he got into the business, where his breaks came in, and what his post Breaking Bad career may entail.
There were 2 things that stood out in the article. First, Vince Gilligan acknowledges that he purposely has Walt taking on Gus’ calm and cool persona. He states outright that he threw in a few things for astute viewers. I took this as a reference to Bob Ducca’s theory.
Second, there was a very brief mention of this Sunday’s episode, Ozymandias. Gilligan states that it’s the best episode of the entire series. Very excited to see it now!
No, he definitely bought it from the arms dealer, along with the car it was in.
