Sadly, as a social worker turned lawyer I have seen far too many cases with all of these elements. It's much more realistic than I imagine a lot of people realize. The vast majority of my cases, both CPS and criminal, had to do with drugs in one way or another. Most of the homicides, too, are either gang on gang or addicts killing each other or someone else to get money or drugs. And so many kids removed from the home of addicts either because a parent died or got arrested or just neglected them. It's a sad world.

@@RoyKoopaling Agreed, though I'll refrain from getting overtly political here. Yes, at the macro level the federal gov't is responsible for the failed "War on Drugs", and funding border enforcement. Local gov't is responsible for law enforcement & child protections via agencies on a micro level. But the "government", be it fed, state, or local isn't some seperate, alternate, largely faceless entity we can hold responsible; the government IS us. It is comprised of citizens and serves as an expression of OUR political will. For too long we have failed to take on the burden of addressing these matters, to engage in gov't at any level, to serve personally, or to even inform ourselves at a basic level. We don't get to farm out fault on "government". We create, foster, build, and elect government; by refusing to participate in every election, be they general, midterm, local, special, etc. we get what we've got. Americans are innovative & ingenious problem-solvers; we have the resources and capability to improve if not manage all of this. That we haven't indicates our lack of will, education, & engagement. Thus we fail in our responsibilities as voters, preferring instead to coldly observe these horrific circumstances like entertainment-seeking visitors perusing a zoo. Until we demand gov't address this at every level, nothing will change.

The producers of the show at some point needed to show the dark side, end result of drug use...the real nitty-gritty shit. They would have been criticized for glamorizing drugs if all they ever showed was Jesse and Walt's RV antics and racking up "fat stacks". Jessie, being a drug user, has likely seen this before but that house was a wreck (kudos to the set designer and crew that set up in the interior of the home); it's too bad Walt didn't see it so he could understand how his product destroys lives. But maybe it wouldn't have fazed Walt at all now, because he seems to have crossed a line. I'll always remember this episode for that sweet, innocent kid.

@Petty Realist It doesn't have to be that way, though. Some programs have an 80% success rate, so... I'm not sure where you sourced your statistics, but I'm sure they are probably close enough. I only mention it, because opiates have the physical addiction, element to it. Which makes getting away from them even harder than meth. The whole system of addiction has a gravity to it that is hard to escape. You don't even need to be using an actual substance to be an addict (gambling, sex, over eating, etc) Those addictions are just as powerful. But, with opiates if you quit without the proper medication, you actually become very sick. My point, I guess is a lot of what people believe about addiction is old information. Also, you cannot cure addiction you can only treat it. It's a genetic disease, triggered by environment, and/or onset of other mental issues. You can be an untriggered addict and not even know it, or show it. Many people, actually use all these drugs, while showing no addiction. But they will quit using when they see unacceptable harm being done to their health and lifestyle. An addict (triggered) will continue using irrationally, sometimes even without feeling any benefit. The point of treatment is to spend as much time as possible in recovery status (sober), this is where your body and mind is constantly improving. The feeling you get while in recovery, especially after being actively addicted for a long time, is like a drink of water on a hot day. So, maybe that 90% you wrote about is representing the people who relapse the first time they attempt treatment. Sliding back down is easy and standing back up is hard. But the longer you are in recovery, the more likely you are to maintain that status. So treatment needs to be way more accessible. Some places getting treatment is very difficult because of old out dated, ideas, and beliefs. I'll stop writing now. I'm sorry for writing an essay, but maybe it will lead to someone getting help (we can always hope). I hope you have a wonderful day.

He is fed up. And angry. Must feel cheated. And now, facing death. And must choose between fighting cancer and leaving his family in debt. Or just giving in. Or accepting money from the very people who stole his possible life. And actually living a grand life, off his accomplishments. So yeah, no longer gives a fuck.

But I think that doing so would draw public demand for them to compensate him more when the public finds out he's an underpaid high school teacher who lives a comparatively modest life....To do that would mean they lose their current public identity as the geniuses, originators, and heroes....and they don't want to give up that public persona...That public persona is what is filling their "void" of talent they know they don't have that Walt truly has....

From him having to put on an act to rob those 2 addicts and especially how he interacted with that poor kid. Jesse is definitely not suited to be a drug lord. He's too good of a person, despite what he thinks of himself. Walt was so proud of himself for selling Skyler his lie. His problem though is he has to realize that sometimes less is more. He talks to much when he lies. It makes him sound panicky and shows no confidence in what he's saying. Lying is like anything else, you have to do it with confidence. The progression of Walter as Heisenberg is one of the more interesting parts of the show. It seemed like it was a persona he created for the drug world he was entering. But when you see it come out in other parts of his life it definitely makes you think there's more to it than that. That it's not so much a persona but really all his repressed anger coming out. 👶🚓

He talks to the child and get smashed by the "skank" and spooge. and i just love the end of the episode where jesse leads the kid out to wait for the police and the last he says is (Have a good rest of your life kid)

Former CPS/foster care worker here. Sad reality: we took dozens of kids out of drug houses over the years. 95% of the time they screamed, fought, & begged to go home. No matter what, most kids are hardwired to want their own parents. Heartbreaking. Sadder reality: lack of viable foster placements is a problem in every state. This sort of kid would enter a system that might be better in terms of meeting his basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, & school but the emotional damage will remain largely unconsidered & untreated. He didn't speak, react, or make eye contact much because he's been deprived of essential nurture. Chances this kind of kid grows up to become an addict/abuser himself are insanely high. Broken system.

Robin Melendez I have 3 friends that fostered and then wound up adopting. But what a road they had to travel! 2 of the 3 children were born addicted (1 to meth, the other not sure) and had to go through withdrawals straight from the womb. The thing that I really don’t understand is how they put the mother’s ‘rights’ above the child’s needs. In all three cases the mother claimed she would get her act together. Occasionally showing up for scheduled visits, sometimes high. More often then not they wouldn’t even show up and make some lame excuse, despite the fact the Social Services would pay for transportation. The children would be dragged in and out of court for years before adoption was finalized, all because the mother has ‘rights’. One of the kids was 5 at the time, such a sweet little girl. She just wanted her mommy. Her little heart would break when she would go for visitation and her mom would be a no show. You could literally see her little heart break. I’m sure you’ve seen it too. It’s been 5 years since that adoption and the little girl still misses her mom every though it’s been that long since she’s had any contact with her. So sad that the children’s ‘rights’ are not put first. Sometimes the biological parents aren’t the right parents. If you fuck up once, you should lose your kids. That’s my thoughts anyway. Thank you for doing your part to help those poor children.

@@mamabrowsss1160 Taking kids to court-mandated visits was one of the most painful & cringey parts of the job. So often parents would no-show, fail a last minute drug test, or get themselves re-arrested. When they did show it felt great but the clock was always ticking toward the inevitable separation once again. Probably the hardest thing was 1. separating siblings 2. informing kids that seperation would be permanent (due to award of long prison sentences, parents MIA/dead, or parents totally surrending all forms of custody to the state) or 3. having a kid attempt or achieve suicide. Across the years I saw the same kids over and over, same parents losing/regaining custody, having more kids. Grinds you down; once my own kids were born I couldn't take it anymore. Every case wore my own children's faces; every horror I'd seen I unreasonably imagined for them. Your friends gave the noblest, most selfless gift of all. Sometimes a single positive person, opportunity, or moment is all it takes to change everything for a child. Deep down all kids, even the hardest, want to be good, productive, & capable of love. Takes heavy sacrifice & endless care to unlock the "better angels" but to grant another person a whole life? Worth it. Bless them. The positive effects of this effort can ripple out into vast numbers of people, far into unknown worlds, and down the generations. I've seen it.

@@Quotenwagnerianer Two different things. Some similar symptoms, but nothing in common other than that. A heart attack is a problem with the heart, a panic attack is a problem with the chemicals in the brain, serotonin for example. That's why they prescribe serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, (SSRI), to restore balance. Someone having a heart attack may be panicked, or even have a 'panic attack ' if they are prone to a chemical imbalance in their brain, but they are two completely different conditions. Believe me, I've been seeing doctors for forty years for this, and my father had heart problems for 30 years until he died from it last summer.

Notes on episode from podcast by BB creators: Peekaboo *Hosts:* Editor Kelley Dixon, showrunner/creator Vince Gilligan (these 2 are on each podcast going forward) *Guests:* Aaron Paul (Jesse); J. Roberts (writer) 1. No beetles were hurt! They had a container of dead bugs and one of live ones, so the ones that were stepped on were already dead 2. Aaron is smoking rock sugar, basically. It gives him a sugar high! He tries not to inhale...when he does accidentally, it’s really harsh. There’s rules about not showing inhaling drugs, though they can show it being exhaled 3. The sponge kid was played by twins. Aaron tried to show them before the piece was filmed where he was hit with the bottle that it was a rubber bottle, it was pretend, etc, but when it actually happened, they gave very real reactions. Aaron was talking to them during all the downtime 4. It was shot in a real house. An older woman lived there with like 15 cats & a lot of dogs. They had to clean it up a bit before shooting. There was “debris and aroma” 5. Jesse grew up an upper middle class kid (with a little brother)...so he’s less hardened to seeing a kid growing up in such squalor as he might’ve been had he had a rougher childhood. He’s retained some of his innocence 6. Jessica Hecht plays Gretchen. Adam Bernstein, one of their directors, happens to be married to her 7. It was difficult to get the Bentley - there wasn’t one available to rent in all of New Mexico, so they brought one in from out of state 8. Bryan & Jessica called Vince the night before the diner scene was shot to ask him about their background relationship that isn’t on the page 9. They fought really hard to get the “fuck” in the episode. They dipped the sound when it aired rather then making him say something softer 10. It’s like every episode, Walt chips off a bit of his soul. He feels alive for the first time in his 50 years

This is a Dr Jeckyll/Mr Hyde situation & he’s not in control of his dark side completely Walter White is a horrible liar when it comes to dealing with Skyler but Heisenberg is an excellent liar when he’s in the drug world. Skyler & Heisenberg haven’t met. As to y’all not recognizing a panic attack-that’s ok. I think the audience were supposed to think, at least at first, that he was having a heart attack.
