Breaking Bad 5x01 'Live Free or Die' | First Time Reaction

[@colepalmer3128]

I find it hilarious and so smart that Saul is the only one still wearing the Wayfarer 515 crash pin, nearly a year after the accident at this point. He also has a book on aviation law on his desk. He's definitely representing multiple people impacted by the accident and personally profiting off of it lol

[@altafkalam2716]

It's the little details like these that make Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul such elite tier shows. Nothing would have changed story wise without the Wayfarer pin or the aviation law books on his desk. But the writers thought to put it and it just adds so much unsaid character to Saul. Just amazing.

IIRC Ted wasn't being chased when he tripped. He tried to use the element of surprise and broke into a run to try and give Saul's guys the slip and tripped before they even moved.

Metaphorically, this could represent him trying to "run" from his obligations, & hurting himself because he had no real plan or self-awareness of the situation

[@KyleBaran90]

I don't think Skyler saying "good" was her being evil. She was physically and emotionally shocked when she saw his state. The realization that her actions caused it. I think she did acted coldly to distance herself so they could both move on

"It's just crazy to think how long everybody was in business before Walter showed up." I had the exact same thought lol...

[@jerodast]

Basically they were channeling Mike at that moment haha. Mike and Gus value(d) stability and surety, and were very good at maintaining it for many years. And then, as Mike said...Walt came along. (This is of course Gus's fault too. He hired Walt, despite a few red flags, because of his weakness for perfection, in this case the chemical perfection Walt offered and Gale testified to.)

[@Woeboez]

In all fairness, the only reason Walter ousted Gale was Jessie. The only reason things went to shit after that was because Jessie tried to kill the dealers and Walt saved his life. If it weren't for Jessie nothing bad would have happened.

[@angeloalvarez5520]

​@@Woeboeztrue

[@endorphinzz]

@@Woeboez - I guarantee bad things would have happened, Jesse or no Jesse lol...and the premise was that Walt's insertion into the drug scene in Albuquerque set off a chain of events in which he was a significant player. Using your two examples, the main reason Walter ousted Gale was Hank, not Jesse. He didn't make Jesse a partner to help Jesse, he did it to help Hank. And the only reason Jesse tried to kill the dealers that night with a gun is because Walter ratted to Gus about Jesse wanting to kill the dealers by putting ricin in their food. Had Walt just let Jesse poison the two dealers nobody would have known. Instead, he thought about having Jesse arrested and put in jail, then decided to tell Gus. Had he remained quiet the two dealers would have died like a day later, Andrea's brother would still be alive--so no reason for Walt to later run the dealers over with his car, nobody would have suspected Jesse in their deaths except Walt, and Gus would have simply replaced the two dealers with two other guys lol.

[@Woeboez]

@@endorphinzz I didn't say he did it to help Jesse per se, but it was because of Jesse. And I completely disagree with your second point. Gus would obviously suspect Jesse of killing them. Walt knew this. It was far too risky for Jesse to do and Walt rightfully put a stop to it to protect Jesse from getting killed. Clearly Walt messed up plenty in the show, and his ego is the only reason any of it even started, but it's not quite accurate to blame everything on him imo.

MythBusters had done several Breaking Bad episodes including from season one the fulminated Mercury blowing up tucos office and the scid in the bathtub ruining jessies house. This episode was just s small little taste of the new ultra confidant Walt, and this season is far and away the best of the series. The first four seasons were just setting the table for this final season.

[@TheRepublican777]

He wanted Skyler to be happy that he took care of the danger that was after them and he protected his family but she doesn't see it that way, she sees him as one of them now.

They also don't seem to understand that when Walt takes action he has to. They were baffled whenever he made his intent to kill Gus clear despite the fact that if he didn't kill Gus, Gus would kill him and now they're treating him like an idiot for asking about the laptop. What's he meant to do? Throw his hands up, say he had a good run and let Hank watch him cook 200 pounds of meth?

[@MrAvaholic1921]

I'm a so called "walt defender" but i think walt is a super dick in this season and sleazy with skylar. I still love his character from a storytelling point and watching his journey. I don't know when vince said the whole mr chips into scarface thing and the fact I'm an observer who has seen this series multiple times but i feel like they are stating the obvious when they keep saying walt is doing stuff or acting a certain way that will bite him in the butt or won't go well for him. That's the point of the show

[@red2977]

I can't stand Walt. Even up until this point he has done some really horrible things. He poisoned Brock, he let Jane die. Heck in the first episode he blackmailed Jesse into this. In my eyes Walt has been pretty scummy up until this point. Yes at times he shows humanity, but if I'm going to support a bad guy it will probably more likely be someone like Mike. A person who is bad for sure but has a code. Also, Jesse who isn't really bad but is basically a young guy who got mixed up with the wrong crowd and exploited. Still he often tries to do the right thing in bad circumstances.

[@Danjoker.]

Best season of all time.

[@bioniccorndog]

Honestly y'alls non reaction to the junkyard guy's "Speak now or forver sing soprano" made the funniest line in the episode even funnier

[@kahlbutomacfarland]

Not hating on Skylar, but I really don’t get the 180 in her perception here. I get the writer’s intention, I get Walt isn’t a good guy and so on. But if he does not do what he does at the end of last season, Walt and likely the family, especially Hank, are all dead. Skylar is clear in understanding this. So wtf did she want him to do? Lol, just in this case. Again, not defending Walt as whole or hating Skylar as a whole. Just always felt this turn could have been a little smoother.
