Dirtyhip Posted March 31, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 31, 2020 It was the beginning of the shift. He started out as someone trying to set his family up with money, and then turned into this powerful an very evil character. Most powerful message he sent "I'm the one who knocks." <chills> Jesse was a better man than Walt. He seemed to have empathy for others in the episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted March 31, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 31, 2020 Having been both an industrial research chemist and a high school chemistry teacher who had been approached many times about synthesizing illegal drugs and never wanting to do so mainly because I didn't want the guilt of the damage it might do to some users, I was never able to get into Breaking Bad, despite Walt's need for money for his family's future - at the expense of various users.

Being a cop, I tend not to watch shows that glorify the criminal element. (This, Weeds, Sopranos, etc) I only watched the series last year after my nephew posted after he hurt his knee and he was walking around his school on crutches, how with his crutches, his bald, chemistry teacher dad and cop uncle, he WAS living 'Breaking Bad' (Oh yeah, our last name is "White") A great show...., and it does nothing to make me want to be involved in that world. I spoke to one of our clan lab experts who said while some of the chemistry is wrong, they had good intel on clan labs because he has taken some down that looked remarkably similar to what was shown. Put down your inhibitions and give it a go. I did with some trepidation and was glad I did. The acting of the two main characters and the writing is worth it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted March 31, 2020 Share #7 Posted March 31, 2020 Walt somehow gets all the empathy, yet is a total asshole. Hank is a pretty straight up guy yet comes off as an asshole. The writing is spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I always go back to the opening statement: “Chemistry is the science of change”. It’s a series about the change in personalities of the characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Administrator Posted April 1, 2020 Share #11 Posted April 1, 2020 Bryan Cranston talks about this scene in his autobiography. It was pretty emotional for him. He imagined his own daughter in that position. The entire book was a good read, but this section was riveting. My wife also balked on watching this because she did not want to be a part of anything that glorified drug dealers. I am not sure what part of dying alone.... separated from everything you love... your family and your drug making.... is putting this in a good light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He accomplished a lot in a short time, and he vanquishes many a foe, hero-style. So he gets some villain-style, too, nobody is perfect. Heh heh...

Wow, Todd, way to totally shred the mood! It was such a triumph of meticulous planning and teamwork until that point, and the last bit was written expressly because the writers didn't want the characters to be portrayed in an overall positive light. Damn, did that work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
