    This is such a perfect example of what is so incredible about Vince Gilligan: along with the humility, confessing that he does not know where the show is going, that they have written the show into corners, and credits every other writer versus hogging all the glory. He truly has no complex at all and is just a good person; a quiet genius.

But honestly though watching this show and it being one of the few things I owned that could entertain me I've learned to see things from other peoples view a little more, I now think about what I'm doing and how it affects people more. It's shown me what I don't want, what I could want and last but not least I realize anybody can be what you don't expect but even bad people can be redeemed if they wish, at least in my eyes.

    Breaking Bad is beyond words, it is really that good. I have watched television for 30 years and nothing has been this engrossing and captivating. They did two things that we never see, the first was create a full character arc and the second was make a character who you would believe was capable of such things, and to make you question what you would do in that situation. I will be truly sorry when the last episode airs.

    Exactly. I don't find Skylar annoying at all, and I can actually understand her. Maybe I'm just grown up. First season the only charachter I disliked was Marie and I think it was meant that way too. But she became tolerable as episodes and seasons went by. I've always thought there's not a single charachter who shouldn't be on the show. It's the perfect show. And I was so glad when Conan said the same thing too about trying to find flaws and there was none.

  • @LEEyring
    @LEEyring Před 11 lety +2

    I've noticed that too. Just caught up with all the episodes, and I really really feel bad for Skyler now. I feel bad for everyone except Walt, but that's the point. Vince has said that he wanted to show that actions have consequences, and he hates when people do bad things and get away with it. So needless to say, Walt is going to get what's coming to him... what he really does deserve. I hope that he redeems himself a bit though, he really isn't an evil person. And he did kick a lot of ass. :)

But we'll still have the memories, right? Like the character himself. Was it at the beginning of episode 1 of season 5 that we saw him celibrating his 52nd birthday alone with bacon and eggs in that café alongside the road? I think...

    Except she did own up to her actions. In Crawl Space basically the first thing she did was apologise to Walt after telling him what she'd done. She said herself how they're both dangerous people in series 5a because Ted nearly died because of her - I believe the exact quote was 'I have blood on my hands too'. And she was never in denial over her money laundering. She's not perfect and she's done a lot of bad things but she's clearly the victim of Walt's actions.

    It's always good to admit that even if you don't like a character, they're right or they have good qualities and you just don't like them and won't justify why you don't like them. It annoys me when someone tries to make half assed reasons why they don't like a good character, it's so much better to just say "I acknowledge their good traits, but I just don't like them, I dunno why."

    I'm not sure if I fully agree with you. Whilst the concept of a thousand shades of grey was definitely true at least for seasons 1-4, I think one of the great things about this show is Walt's evolution. I think, by the end of the first half of S5, there's not much grey left in Walt, it's all black. I most certainly look down on him now, as of series 5. How he got there is part of why BB is so great. I've always sympathised with Skyler and so even more in S5.
