  • "I don't think we're alike at all, Mr White."
    From Season 2 Episode 11 Mandala:
    After Combo is murdered by a rival gang, Saul proposes a new distribution method for Walt and Jesse's product. Under stress, Jesse tells Jane what he does. Saul puts Walt in touch with a meth distributor named Gus Fring, who agrees to purchase Walt's product. However, Gus expresses concern about Jesse's drug problem, which has escalated into heroin use due to Jane's relapse. Skyler finds out that Ted has been engaging in tax evasion from the IRS, but due to their past relationship, she decides not to report it. Walt receives a large offer for the short-notice delivery of the remainder of their inventory, but at the same time receives a call from Skyler, notifying him of her imminent labor.

    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.

      What I like tho is that even when he dropped the friendly manager facade he still kept a very civilized and cultivated conversation with Walt, besides from scolding him for comparing the two of them as alike. He still kinda seemed likeable even as a drug lord. That was before we could get to know him better.

    What I love about how both BB and BCS introduce Gus is that they don’t draw attention to him before you know who he is or have any reason to suspect he’s anything more than a pleasant, upbeat fast food manager.
    Whichever version you see first is going to give you no reason to suspect that _THIS_ is the guy they’ve been building up to all this time and you’ll leave the scene with next to no reason to think he’s anything more than what he appears.
    But as soon as you’ve seen one show, you know who he is so the illusion is ruined the second time around. As soon as you clock him, you’re drawn to him as you know exactly how powerful and threatening he really is.
    It’s a great parallel of both shows that gives some real continuity from a meta perspective as well as allowing BCS first viewers to get that sensation without even knowing they’ve missed out on something in the first place.

    I like how Walter says he would “like a Diet Coke” when he wants a Diet Coke. Excellent writing. Bravo Vince.

    I love the subtle change in expression Giancarlo Esposito does when Walt says that they are alike in that way, as it regards caution. You can tell Gus is amused that Walt correctly guessed who he was, and is humoring Walt because it suits him at the moment.
    But that slight smirk goes to an almost immediate scowl when Gus feels insulted by the comparison Walt makes, because he knows that they are nothing alike. Gus takes great pride in his professionalism and secrecy. Walt is just some shlub to Gus at this point.
    Gus's expression says: "you are nothing like me and the comparison is insulting."

    The start of a good friendship in working and eventually breaking bread together, what could go wrong?

    This scene blew my mind when I first saw it. I thought on first viewing it was Walt being desperate and delusional thinking he was "the guy". Testament to Giancarlo's acting

    Funny how Gus was so worried about Jessie being a liability, but then it turns out that Walt is the liability and Jessie ends up being the loyal servant that Gus wants.

    One of the best shows ever. Can't believe I've never watched it until last year. Had to bingo watch it along with Soul Goodman
