In defense of the script--that book has popped up more than once since Gale's murder. Walt's reaction to finding it shortly after was chilling--an almost nostalgic "well, what do you know" reaction, like a fond memory of a good guy he used to know. It was a sign that he had completely de-linked his decision to have Gale killed from the chummy near-friendship they had developed. It was a clear indication of how completely Walt has compartmentalized even human relationships. Since then, we've seen Walt perusing it from time to time. Again, no sign that he regards it as anything other than a thoughtful gift from a friend. And I think that's completely IN character for Walt--a sign of how deluded he's become. He really does think that reality is what he decides it should be. The book isn't a connection to the murder because that's not the way Walt feels about it. Period. It always seemed that Walt's arrogance would be his undoing. This was just how it worked out.
I understand the keeping of it, to a degree. But he could've kept it and not been so cavalier about it. Had he not had the earlier exchange with Hank about WW, it would have been more plausible that he kept it around. But he did have the exchange.
I'm not sure keeping it on the back of the toilet in the master bathroom is cavalier. When I have had a master bathroom, I havent expected anyone else to use it.
And I'm sure he knew that Hank used that bathroom at times. It's a TV show. I thought it was stupid. You all didn't. No need to try to convince each other.
So what was the result of Walt's check-up? Did the death sentence convice him to go straight or did he get another clean bill of health?
Or its a subconscious desire to get caught. I mean god forbid he get a nice Audi or Acura instead of that Bentley...
Isn't this a messaage board on the internet? If we're not here to argue about the subject area of the particular forum, what ARE we doing? #sincerelyconfused
I like discussion more than argument. I get that the "reveal" didn't rub some people the way it rubbed me. I'm ok with recognizing that and understanding that there is no proof for one view or the other. #sincerelysincere
I have more issues with things like the DEA letting everyone and their mother visit an office where they are likely to see and hear things that could compromise an investigation. I'd imagine that just about everyone in a DEA office holds a Top Secret level security clearance, and if that's true then their is no way in hell Walt or a bunch of little girls would be let anywhere near such an office.
I think only certain meetings and offices would constitute a a higher security clearance. Field offices where someone's being escorted and observed isn't much of a breach, especially if they're a relative without any priors. Jesse might not be able to visit uncle Hank, but Walt certainly doesn't raise any eyebrows.
So I just finished catching up (3.5 seasons in 2 months with a lot of "family time" is difficult to do). Netflix is streaming season 5 now, btw... and the final 1/2 season starts Sunday night...
Not gonna be able to see the new episode until tomorrow night. SO, I guess I'll have to avoid the Internet for 24 hours. Sigh...
He just couldn't keep walking down the driveway. Brilliant edisode, "if you don't know who I am, your best course is to thread lightly" - Heisenburg.
I hope he does do that before the series is over and then dies of cancer. Then Sky (I dig her legs) White opens up a chain of car washers all over the country called White's Crystal Blue Washers
Word. The ONLY thing I knew would eventually happen in this season was a confrontation between Hank and Walt (not to mention the use of the M-60, which we've known about since a year ago). Now, the ONE THING I knew would happen this season is already over-- and so there are 7 episodes to go in which I have no friggin' clue. Awesome.
