Yeah, that $177,000 is definitely NOT beside the point, because it’s a real, undeniable paper trail linking Hank to Walt’s illegal money.

32:15 you can actually see Huell take it out of his pocket and nod to Saul, so we can assume the reason Saul left earlier to “get a bag for the money” was really to tell Huell to do that. Nice job to Kailyn for picking up on that as I don’t think most reactors do, and not many pick up on the fact that Jesse realizes Walt poisoned Brock either and are usually confused as to what is happening until he confronts Saul about it, so nice job to Eric as well. Love that you both were able to put together different pieces of the puzzle like that. Some people seem to think it’s far fetched that Jesse would put those things together and make that connection, but I think they forget that was exactly what Jesse believed happened at first until Walt manages to manipulate him into thinking it was Gus instead. I think anyone that has been a victim of gaslighting knows that feeling of “I knew I was right the whole time and I can’t believe I let them talk me out of it and trusted them over myself.” I also think the scene of them in the desert earlier was done to show that Jesse is finally able to see through Walt’s bs now, especially after witnessing how Walt reacted to Drew Sharpe’s murder. Season 4 Jesse may not have believed that Walt was capable of caring so little about a child dying, but season 5 Jesse definitely can after that. Not to mention he knows he killed Mike and had all those guys in prison murdered, so he sees how far he’s willing to go to protect himself. I wouldn’t be surprised if deep down part of Jesse still wondered if it could have been Walt after all, and all he needed was that one piece of evidence to finally allow himself to believe it. Sorry for the essay but I’ll just say one more thing: I love your reaction to Walt’s “confession” tape because I also lost my MIND the first time I saw this episode and I could not believe what I was watching. I have never been so furious and disgusted yet shockingly impressed at the same time 😂 Wait I forgot one more thing…you are completely right to be concerned about some fans of this show and their love for Walt. The amount of people that try to justify and make excuses for what he did to both Jane and Brock is absolutely astounding. I swear some people literally think Skyler “cheating” with Ted is worse than both of those things combined lol. And don’t even get me started with their victim blaming of Jesse and Skyler for their reactions to Walt’s abuse instead of condemning Walt for the abuse itself. Ok I’m done lol excited to watch these final few episodes with you guys and hope to see you continue with El Camino and Better Call Saul as well😊

A lot of ppl miss a key point in Walt’s confession. Walt drops in hints of how he actually felt and situations he was in during his time in the drug business. He simply moved the people around in the confession for who to blame etc. Don’t know why Kaitlyn thinks everything Walt does is pure manipulation. Sure he used manipulative tactics in the confession, but alot of the points he made of feeling scared and hopeless were actually true. In many cases he was left with no choice. Obviously it was Walt’s fault that he ended up in these situations. However, from the very beginning everyone who worked with Walt either tried to kill him or use him. Kind of disappointed some reactors only look through one lense because of their emotions. Very hard to fine emotionally intelligent people unfortunately

Walter, is a great character, but my emotional response to *his level of manipulation to those close to him,* makes me really not like him. Skylar is such a amazingly acted character, that the actress kind of had to lay low in a sense, because of the the intense fan reactions, legitimately lashing out at her as if she were actually Skylar. While the Skylar/fan reactions were always a bit extreme... That, along with the other examples I mentioned, were all just a testament to the writing & acting on this show. That it makes you feel something.

Walt’s repulsiveness actually has very little to do with his criminal behavior. The character of the man underlying the criminal is what people sense when they find it difficult to empathize with him. Walt also has almost no empathy for anyone else either - at least none that’s not self-serving. He’s not funny, or kind, or brave, or honorable, or considerate, or well-intentioned. What’s to like? He’s smart. Is that it?

There's a big difference between knowing things and having evidence of things that can stand up in court.

All Walter would have to do is put some doubt in the jurys mind and he'd get away with it.

@jlilley736 ай бұрын
I think it's just that Jesse can see more clearly now how manipulative and ruthless Walt can be. He almost figured it out in 4x12 -- he'd guessed that Huell may have stolen the cigarette on Walt's say-so in order to poison Brock -- but he didn't understand the motive (he thought it was Walt getting revenge on Jesse). At that time Walt convinced Jesse he had no motive to poison Brock. Walt's plan was admittedly convoluted: He poisoned Brock (with the plant), counting on Jesse to initially panic and think it was his own fault (with the cigarette), then expecting Jesse to conclude it was Walt leading him to Walt's house, where Walt can convince him that it was actually Gus who poisoned Brock in order to trick Jesse into killing Walt! Thus convincing Jesse to turn on Gus. You're right that Huell stealing his weed proves nothing. We're just expected to think that it just got Jesse rethinking that whole situation and figuring out what actually happened.

3:10 I think there's another important thing to consider about Hank relative to Walter, which is that he owns his mistakes. Assaulting Jessie obviously was unacceptable, but he also told the entire truth about it after the fact rather than trying to cover it up, despite everyone around him advising him to lie. That being said I don't think there is a "hero" in this story. All of the main characters have some sort of addiction or obsession, and one of the main themes is exploring the various ways in which addictions can manifest themselves. Walter is obsessed with control. Marie's "drug" when she becomes too stressed out is thievery and the escapism of pretending to be someone else. Jessie's is the more standard drug addiction. Gus' was revenge. Hank's is his casework, and when he can't do that, he tries to fill that hole with minerals.

Hot take: Hank's not a hero, but he's not one of the villains, either. He's another victim of Walt. I think the show tries very hard to show that Walt's actions are a kind of moral contagion, infecting everyone around him. When the show started, Hank was a good cop and a good husband. Even his bigotry was meant to be in light of itself -- when he said racist things, he was clearly playing a game, not expressing genuine opinions. It's only after the traumatic things that happened to him -- each caused by Walt -- that his character started to change. (Yes yes, Hank is an adult who can make his own decisions; I may as well say Walt is a victim of cancer and his mediocre marriage. But I still think moral contagion is a narrative the show itself pushes.)

To me, one of the important reasons for gray morality as a trope is to uncover how attachment to a person can lead to misplaced sympathy for truly bad people. Neither Walt nor Hank, objectively speaking, deserve anyone rooting for them. But, because of the way the story is presented, it's easy to pick one you want to win. It's very similar in that way to both Dune and Lolita. In both, the protagonist is a horrible person, and the audience is meant to come away realizing that they feel wrong for sympathizing with the protagonist. It's a useful life lesson as well: just because you've been around a person and become attached to them doesn't mean you should act like they are beyond reproach. It's certainly a lesson Jessie could have leaned much earlier, then maybe he wouldn't have stood by Walt for so long.

From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats.

I think that the show intentionally painted Hank more as an anti-hero; someone who ultimately does "the right" / heroic thing, but lacks the typical heroic characteristics ... and Hank has flaws. Similarly, Walt is painted more as an anti-villian; someone that does "the wrong" / evil things, but for a benevolent purpose. And potentially they're not dead ringers for either category. What makes tye show interesting is that it's not 100% black and white ... it's grey matter (sorry, I couldn't help it), which creates an open and interesting space for conversations.

Love you reactions, love how passionate you're about the show, and how much you pay attentions to detail. And yes, the show definitely deserves to be taken serious. It's a big achievement the writers managed to give every single character so much depth, detail, layers that they feel as real as any IRL person.

Among the many things this series does well is it manipulates viewers by establishing then exploiting biases. 1. Most fans of Walter fail to recognise the anchoring bias that was established in the first episode; where Walt is disrespected by students (in school and at the car wash); Walt's birthday celebration where Hank insinuates he isn't a man, gives him backhanded compliments, and then hijacks the party to watch himself on the news; and where his birthday hand-job is combined with nagging and distracted by ebay. This is the seminal reason for the imbalanced preference for Walt and the distaste for Skylar and Hank. This episode's confession is given credence by the way Hank publicly shat on Walt during the birthday party. 2. Framing bias is thoroughly used throughout the first three seasons to justify Walt's multiple felonies; murder, drug creating, larceny, terrorism, attempted murder, poisoning children, etc. 3. Once these are established, Walter Fans use False causality bias to strengthen the believe that Walt was forced into these actions, thus absolving him of full guilt. 4. As improbably successes begin to add up, fans begin to fall victim to Feature Positive effect, thus focusing primarily on the short-term "win" and ignoring the long-term destruction Walt leaves in his wake. The writers were truly amazing.

I think people like Skylar constantly misjudged the situation with Walt. For example she never fully understood Walt when he said Gus was dead and the danger had passed.

People that try to claim Hank is also bad and draw equivalence to Walt in this are fuckin morons lol. Yes. He’s flawed. He definitely made mistakes . But it’s not even on the same level as Walt . And I’m someone who has a lot of hate for the American healthcare system and I do think it forces people into a box and that’s what lead Walt on this road into the first place. Our healthcare system here absolutely disgusts me and I get people feeling desperate. But doesn’t excuse the crazy choices he’s made in the meantime and he’s clearly gotten to where he enjoys it. Don’t worry you guys have a normal take on the show. There’s definitely a lot of other people who have skewed ass opinions on Walt though becuase he’s the main character and you grow to like him early on and can understand what lead him to the path he’s on.

Walt did actually care for Jesse though with that hug because Walt wasn't even thinking of killing Jesse and he was not aware that Jesse actually thought he took him out there to kill him if he said no because he wasn't even though he was playing him he was surprised that Jesse thought that about him and he felt sad for him and knew he needed that hug but that would also get to his feeling and convince him that he does care about him but the truth is that he does in his own way

It’s very strange seeing some blame Hank or Jesse for Walt’s actions. When it comes down to it Walt made his own bed. He was lucky that he had an offer of help from Gretchen but instead became a criminal because he wanted to. The ensuing destruction is on him no one else

I think calling Hank a dirty cop because he assaulted Jesse, is silly... That wasn't "police brutality", that was "A husband beating up a criminal who has information on his wife and floats the possibility of her being hurt" Hank would've beat him up the same way if he had been a plumber rather than a cop. That's like I don't know, if Hank had a kid and a guy walked by and grabbed his kid and Hank beat the shit out of him, would you say he's a dirty cop because he should have arrested him peacefully? That wouldn't have been "Hank the cop", that would've been "Hank the father". And in this case, it was "Hank the husband".

He broke into Jesse's house, assaulted him, beat up those 2 guys at the bar for no reason, spied on Gus and Mike without a warrant. Cops have to be held to a higher standard. He's not dirty but he did some shady things
