  • Walt explains the strength of Thermite and how it can easily melt through solid steel.
    Season 1 Episode 7 A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal: Walt and Jesse face difficulties producing the large amount of meth Walt has promised to Tuco. Skyler has a baby shower at which Marie gives her a diamond tiara for the baby. Skyler decides to return the tiara given to her by Marie, only to be detained at the store and informed that it had been stolen; when she confronts Marie, Marie flatly denies stealing it. Walt and Jesse break into a warehouse and steal a large barrel of methylamine, which they need for a new recipe that produces much more meth in much less time. They deliver the promised amount to Tuco and his associates, No-Doze and Gonzo; when No-Doze makes an offhanded remark to Walt, Tuco becomes enraged and savagely beats him in front of the horrified Walt and Jesse.

    Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
    Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

      @@Woodside235 I mean, it’s a pretty standard concept in Christian theology. I often use that phrase a lot, especially since whenever I mess up or sin in any way or otherwise hurt God’s feelings, I feel much better by framing it as me being “deceived by my pride” as opposed to me being deceived by Satan which just sounds way worse. (Honestly, for a show that’s centered around drugs and crime, it had a pretty conservative worldview which makes sense given Vince’s own views. Even though Vince is technically agnostic and therefore not a Christian, he actually believes in the existence of Hell. If you notice, the characters throughout the Breaking Bad series hardly ever get away with doing wrong. Each of them get punished in some way, whether mildly or severely, and must give an account for what they did.)

    2:10 I think this scene, the early cooks with Jesse, and the building a battery with Jesse show Walt really did love teaching when he is teaching someone who is actually listening. You can really tell such a difference in his expressions here where he seems to be enjoying himself versus the visible frustration when he is teaching high school grading papers and talking with the student who was trying to BS him into a passing grade.
    not to mention how despite his many obvious flaws and bad habits Jesse really was eager to learn.

      He could have gotten a high position at grey matter, but chose not to because he felt it was charity.

    • @nolin132

      Season 1 Walt probably wouldn't have needed to kill Gus. The hostilities between Gus and Walt are primarily due to Walt's scheming paranoia, and that didn't really manifest until later.

    • @alanyajmorgan
      @alanyajmorgan Před 9 měsíci +7

      @@yikan1107 It's not plausible it's pulpy. I liked BB, or at least most of it, but it's full of stuff you'd find in a pulp adventure novel: shootouts, heists, deals gone wrong, argot, amazingly easy and effective home chemistry, cliffhangers, double lives, scary foreigners, lawmen, etc.
      (Para)dropping one commando to destroy the Gustav Gun is plausible if that commando's Captain America. The GG was a 40 ft tall/150 ft long railway gun that took hundreds of people to operate. However thermite grenades were used to disable (much smaller) artillery in WWII.
      Take that factoid, make it sexier by hybridizing it with a short history of the Gustav Gun, and you have a fun little scene. It's very good television writing! Walt is weaving a yarn to impress Jesse. Facts aren't super important. BB is junk food; delicious, expertly crafted, crave-inducing junk food for the brain.

    • @spartacus3111
      @spartacus3111 Před 9 měsíci

      In fairness, the Gustav Gun was destroyed by thermite. Only it wasn't a commando, it was the Germans scuttling it to avoid it's capture by the Allies.

      @YouShotMarvin Před 8 měsíci

      ​@@alanyajmorgan All you're doing is listing basic elements of a story, but it goes beyond that and really comes down to if those moments are earned. Plausibility in fiction is not something that should be determined relative to our reality but relative to what the story and plot has introduced. For the most part, all of the shootouts and deception and other "pulpy" things, as you put it, are in service of building and changing the world around Walt and watching him change with it.
      I think it is unfair to shrug off the show as "junk food", when you are personally choosing to see basic elements of the story as representations of tropes and not as what they actually are as moments serving the story being told.
      Unless you're saying entertainment in general is junk food, which im not really sure what kind of point that's making if it is the point.
