I still cant fricking believe that Walt, an incredibly careful person, someone always paying attention to the minor details, would keep that book, or at least not remove that page, especially seeing as it contains the same message that Hank saw in Gale's notes and told Walt about.

I think Fly episode pretty much explains show's position on such plot contrivances pretty well.
What do you mean?
Nothing, "plot contrivance" is a meaningless buzzword for saying "I didn't like that this happened".
shut up stupid god i fricking hate you i hope you fricking die
>shut up stupid god i fricking hate you i hope you fricking die
I mean that in that episode, Walt on sedatives spills to Jesse that he is rattled by the fact that the same night he let Jane die, he went to a bar and literally sat down to have a drink and met her dad.
Being a redditor and a science man, he can't realistically convince himself that it was a coincidence. Even though he tries to cope and deny it, he thinks it was karmic punishment.
The same with a book. A mere coincidence, but clearly preordained because Walt consciously decided to keep it. Same with Jesse figuring out the pickpocketing moment.
The plane crash was actually a consequence of his drug production damaging society and people’s morals and causing destruction even in those who don’t take the drugs. I agree it’s a very tv moment but the point was actually that the pain walt causes to people living this life does destroy society. A visit from the man you caused to make this mistake is meaningful in that sense
I don't get your points, those are believable moments for me
How is Jesse figuring out the pocketing Huell thing any less believable than Walt figuring out the broken plate missed a big ass part of ceramic before killing Crazy-8? It seems at a same level of credibility and inmersion that the series barely crosses even if it has plenty of capeshit tier moments at a time
>I don't get your points
I'm insinuating that everything that happens with Walt, from the plane to Hank picking up that book, can and on some level is considered by Walt to be a karmic set of events punishing him for his deeds. I know redditors and fedora tippers reject this. But the Fly episode is quite literally about Walt trying to swat his guilt away by failing to rationalize it in the end.
It was an okish way to show how his finally gets the better of him.
Ego* frick
Walter White can only ever be as intelligent as Vince Gilligan, which is to say not very bright.
what makes you say Vince Gilligan is not bright
The writing of the television show Breaking Bad
But that means he is pretty bright
Lol
you post on a chinese cartoon website made by a 14 year old
>I still cant fricking believe that Walt, an incredibly careful person, someone always paying attention to the minor details
No he isn’t, Walter was always a reckless moron and that’s a big part of his character. He literally went a bought a mustang for his moron son when he’s meant to be poor. Walter is extremely intelligent and someone who makes sure to address any immediate threats but when it comes to things that could compromise him down the line he’s a careless moron and that was consistent throughout the whole show.
The character you’re describing is Gus, that’s why he’s an effective mirror to Walter, he’s the extremely careful and competent criminal Walter believes himself to be
His entire character's origin is carelessly throwing away his life to frick a waitress and then selling off his legacy for 5,000 dollars to raise his moronic son.
>He literally went a bought a mustang for his moron son
The irony of this statement of it not being a mustang. moron
Oh yeah because it was a challenger or whatever he’s actually a genius, you really subverted anons point there pal
I don't think it's as much carelessness as much as it's him not giving a frick, kinda like being ignorant to it and choosing to be ignorant of it
>uses the master bathroom
it's a great show but you can tell it was rushed and the writers would pull nonsense out of their asses
Isn’t that the only bathroom in the house?
there's a guest bathroom in the hallway near junior's room
I think he’s in the guest
he isn't and the Hank's actor even acknowledges it on a talk show
>source
watching conan on youtube and trying my damnedest to find it for you
>Walt
>an incredibly careful person
are you kidding me lol
did you miss the part in the first episode where he completely wangled his RV cook trip and nearly killed himself over it
walt is smart but he's also impulsive and proud
in fact his inflating ego is really the subject of S5. he began to think he was untouchable and that carried over into minor things like leaving evidence lying around
Would be really funny if your dad just shot himself in the desert and it turned out he got cancer and didn’t tell anyone and tried to cook meth and blew it and shot himself
What if Hank had to pee instead of poop?
Walt's weakness had always been his ego, of course he kept a note that revered him.
Of all the plot holes, this? Walter suffered from a severe hubris from day one. We start out seeing him quietly take it and then seeth to himself, which gains sympathy. Then after he gets a big head and starts going off all the time it really shows. He was always saying and doing that stuff, it was just under his breath and when no one was around. Once he got a little taste of power he lost it. He conquered gus who was le end boss badman so he could afford to keep a souvenir or two around, of course he can just pay off anyone who manages to connect the dots... right? That's worked every time before. Throwing money at it got what 10+ dudes time coordinated killed in custody.
I'm way more bothered by Saul bringing his bullet-hole ridden coffee thermos back with him. Sentimental value or no, you're a lawyer ffs so what in the FRICK are you thinking carrying that kind of evidence around with you.
If you mean evidence in the sense of hiding what happened from Kim, then yea that's true.
For legal standards of evidence, it's a coffee mug with a hole in it, unable to be directly connected to any event in time, thus worthless as evidence beyond 'someone put a bullet through it at some point' explained away by plinking with a friend.
Yes, I meant it in the context of Kim finding out. I mean the show has pretty well established that she's capable of figuring out almost anything on her own, and this is after he's been missing for days pursuant to a cartel deal that she has severe misgivings about. It just struck me as an incredibly dumb move for someone who's typically pretty good about covering his tracks and there was no real need for it.
Don't remember Kim's comment about shooting cans outside?
That was just her spinning the story for Lalo though since he found the car. She doesn't think that anybody was actually using the thermos for target practice.
Yea but maybe she would have said the same thing had anyone else asked
>careful
yeah he was pretty careful in the scene where he admits he has hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash when hank's helping him move out.
Eh, most of the show is Walter hiding in plain sight as the last guy you'd expect. Plus you wouldn't just open up your brother in law's luggage right in front of him would you?
It was arrogance and the fact that this was the only time he was genuinely praised for his intellect. It's why he didn't Gale to get the praise for his work when Hank was looking through his notes.
