Thoughts and observations from the show not previously discussed
Previously on Breaking Bad.....
- Bye Felica, er, Felina.
- Walt appeals to a higher power saying a prayer. With that, the cops magically pass and the keys magically appear. It's the first time in the series anyone has done so.
- We simply assume he's going to hotwire it with science, but again, even with small details, the show manages to subvert expectations.
- Walt may be mad enough to telepathically murder Gretchen and Elliot, but he doesn't so much as threaten them until the very end when he ensures his wishes be carried out
- Do all tv rich people put on the classical music when they get home, playing it through some central system throughout their house?
- Badger! (or Beaver?) is back along with Skinny Pete. Skinny Pete could play piano for the (Zooms) Schwartzes (Figlianos) at their next benefit and be like "We've met, sort of."
- Given the bluffing nature of this visit, ZSF fits.
- Walt's specter is so huge he has everyone running all over ABQ looking for him
- This show takes place over two years. Imagine you did a 27 month stint with Peace Corps during this time in East Bumblefuck, Africa. Maybe you even got recommendation to the program from a former high school chem teacher, and came back to ABQ to hear about this for the first time
- Jesse daydreams about his shop class and his potential as a woodworker
- He told a story about how he slapped together a box trying to get a D to pass and then would move on. But the teacher motivated him by simply asking "Is that the best you can do?" Jesse looked at it like "Is that all you got?" and tried again and again through a couple different iterations of the box.
- Jesse had to kill Todd. Todd had to go and it had to be by Jesse. You spend a year making thi sguy into a complete psycho who's coming into direct conflict with the most consistently beloved character on the show, he had to go and he had to go in a dirty, visceral, Luca Brasi-type way.
- Walt trades on the Heisenberg name throughout the episode. Jack's name apparently means somethign to him too, as he won't execute Walt until he shows him Jesse's not his partner
- Murderer, drug lord, thief, white supremecist....but don't call Jack a liar
