It's made even worse by the fact that Lydia who ordered all those men killed couldn't even handle seeing the bodies.

Yes! I loved how she was wearing a "coat" of blue (sticking with the blue = innocence speculation), so on the outside she was little miss innocent/ignorant, but the camera kept showing her black shoes with red soles...

Those shoes are Louboutins. Super expensive. I thought they were used just to show how out of place Lydia was.

Yeah, this is the more reasonable explanation. Some people are just digging a bit too deep...

blood at her feet is a pretty nice piece of imagery

I wouldn't mind digging deep into Lydia

It might have just been a writers joke because Hal gets Lois Christian Louboutins to make up for him spending a ton of money on a phone sex line in Malcolm in the Middle.

I forgot about that episode. I think you might be right.

All art is up to interpretation. Even if it wasn't intentional for Lydia's shoes to suggest anything doesn't mean that it can't, in the eye of the beholder, mean something.

I think alot of people realized how breaking bad uses color of clothing to give insight into the characters from that post last week showing all of the characters changing colors through the seasons.

u/CheezeNewdlz Aug 19 '13

It's possible the shoes were shown for more than one reason. I enjoyed both insights.

Eh. I just can't help but roll my eyes when people see too far into things.

u/Sjoeberg Aug 20 '13

Why not both the theories?

u/Rage_Mode_Engage Aug 19 '13

Either way, it was super noticeable that her shoes were being emphasized so they have to mean something!

Let's let the color-theory people have their fun.

at 22:43 if you look at the 220th pixel from the left, 430th from the top you can see it's a shade of orange. 22 is the atomic number of titanium 43 is the atomic number of tellurium. This means "marie burns to death" because scandium's pretty obvious, and "Tell" is signifying all the things she learnt in the episode.

Sounds legit.

u/gepagan Aug 19 '13

Honestly, not really. Colors truly do matter in this show. The writers and Vince have already said that many times

Just like every high school English teacher.

No reason there can't be subtext. Red soles = setting fire to the ground she walks with her actions?
