So my flist may or may not be relieved to hear that my rather prolific posting every day phase will most likely be coming to an end now *g* My holiday is over and I'm back at work today :sighs:
And I've just recently finished season 3 of Breaking Bad!
'I See You' was kind of a slower episode for me with too much waiting around at the hospital, and well Jesse goofing off at the lab was funny but not really going anywhere either. I LOVED Walt trying to explain to Gale about wanting to go with someone more classic though (and being condescending as fuck with 'you have a promising future ahead of you'), only for Jesse to burst in the lab, 'It's like all shiny up in here' :dies laughing:
Both Walt and Jesse seem to be not so happy under Gus's control in "kafkaesque", there's Jesse complaining about having to work under a boss and pay taxes, and so he decides to skim the produt to sell on his own. And Walt speeding and driving so dangerously after his meeting with Gus also suggested that he was starting to feel a little suffocated and wanting to take control of his destiny again. There really wasn't a lot of Heisenberg this season with Walt and Jesse just working at the lab under their new boss
And most people seem to take Jesse's story in the rehab group about the box he made at face value? That really confuses me because, from the first, I always assumed that it was his way of talking about the blue meth, especially when he was saying that he thought it was good enough until "Mr Pike" told him to keep trying with it and it ultimately came out perfect. I didn't even think the show was being particularly subtle about it, but yeah Idk how did everyone else take it, do you think there was actually a box that Jesse made or not? And I loved the gambling story that Skyler came up with to help her family and how Walt leaned forward to hear it just as interested as Marie was :P
LOVED Fly. As well as being hilarious at times, it's also such a sad character study of Walt when he starts talking about it all going wrong when Skyler found out and he lost his family because he couldn't make her understand why he was doing it. Really recognising that all of his life is contaminated now and trying to think when would the perfect moment have been to die, 'you want them to actually miss you'. And then of course finally realising that he should have never have stood by and let Jane's death happen, that was when it all went wrong.
It's just heartbreaking to me when you can see his face eaten up with guilt at Jesse saying that Jane's death wasn't anybodies fault, he's soooo close to confessing and trying to get across that he's not just expressing sympathy, that he really is sorry for his actions that night
And Jesse's expressing concern for Walt through his possum story and being so worried about Walt losing it because of the cancer :heart melts:
Then in "Abiquiu" we meet Andrea and Brock for the first time...Honestly I never brought into Jesse's relationship with Andrea the way that I did with Jane. He was originally planning to get her back on meth, he only changed her mind when he found out that she had a kid. And there's also a deleted scene when he goes to her house and seems disappointed that Brock isn't there. A lot of people have suggested that a happy ending would be for Jesse to end up with Andrea and Brock, but I'm just not sure that I see it. He might want the happy family unit to settle down with, but I don't believe that he's in love with Andrea or that he would want to be with her if it wasn't for the added appeal of Brock, so how much long-term happiness could he get from that? I'm not sure what kind of happy ending I can picture for Jesse though quite honestly :/
And I loved Skyler in this episode so unimpressed with Saul and determined to break bad in her own way by encouraging Walt to let her take over with buying and running the car wash. It seemed like there were some deliberate parallels with Walt at the start of the series feeling confident enough to start cooking meth and getting involved with the criminal underworld simply because he was a chemistry expert, and now Skyler convinced that she would be an expert at handling money laundering simply because she has book-keeping experience. Skyler even has similar motives to Walt's original decision to start cooking meth to provide for his family (well amongst other reasons obviously), as she only really starts to get involved after Hank is injured and she wants to help Marie out and support her family. Lol at Skyler looking up money laundering on Wikipedia
And Hank was an ass in this episode to Marie, but I wasn't sure why they were all watching his physical therapy in the first place? It seemed like he felt very vuberable and humiliated to just be hanging there and struggling to move, so you'd think the last thing he would want would be for Skyler and Walt Junior to be there as well as Marie, they should really have been sensitive enough to give him some privacy at that point. Even Marie as his wife and having every right to be there (I'm not sure what the others were doing there quite honestly), it would have been a good idea for her to quietly ask Hank if he would rather work on the PT with just his therapists. It's funny because my personality is sooooooo different from Hank, but I find I can relate a lot to him in the storylines they gave him, such as in season 2 when he's self-conscious about the people he's working with at his new job laughing behind his back and how he's not fitting in, and now with having members of his family stood there watching him struggle to take a step. I would have been very self-conscious and irritable at that stage too
With Half Measures do people believe that Gus himself ordered the hit, or that the dealers took it upon themselves?
And how much did I love that Walt goes from his weakest point at the meeting when he couldn't stand up to Gus at all, to throwing everything away and killing those dealers so that Jesse wouldn't have too!!! Those two, they make me cry. I love how Walt took the opposite message from Mike's half measures speech about some people don't change, and instead decides to go all out when it comes to saving Jesse's life. Also loved Jesse's moment when he stood up to Gus in the meeting and said no, whilst Walt tried to make excuses on compromises needing to be made.
And this may sound heartless, but I really didn't fault Walt for asking Jesse to kill Gale in 'Full Measures'. I know that many fans hate Walt for it and what it did to Jesse to ask him to kill someone, but well they didn't have a lot of choice at that point. Walt was going to do it himself, but then he had Mike holding a gun on him and ready to kill him, he had to do some fast thinking to save his life. Where I do take issue with Walt more is next season when he does nothing to help Jesse deal with his remorse :/
