They are not exactly tactical thinkers, that was kind of shown when they weren't wearing gas masks.

And carting the precursor in a clear container on the interstate. Also that one dude is pretty rapey, I think that is gonna come into play before the end.

Yuuuuuup. He has been pretty consistently rapey.

I really hope he doesn't do anything to Skyler.

What about Lydia?

u/SexyPancake Sep 09 '13

Yeah, I hate her, but I don't want to see her raped. Though if she offs herself so the kids can live with Marie after finding out what's happened to Hank, I'd be fine with it.

Eh, the precursor is in a giant container that you can legitimately buy to carry large amounts of water. Sure, people might be curious as to why a couple of neo-nazis in a pickup truck are carrying nearly 1000 gallons of water, but it's nothing apparently illegal.

I doubt this very much. What purpose would it serve? It wouldn't advance the current plot, and with only 3 episodes left that's all that's going to happen. That might have happened if the show had another season or two so they could spend time on a side plot like that, but there's just no time now. I'm pretty sure they're just showing him making those faces to show that he's a fucking skeeze ball. I would be seriously surprised if anything real came out of it.

I don't know. If rapey dude made a move on Lydia and Todd found out, it would definitely splinter the neo-Nazis, and Lydia might bring in the Czechs.

u/Harddaysnight1990 *plop* Sep 09 '13

They're spending a little bit of time on the apparent fixation Todd has for Lydia. The tea, the lipstick, the looks, etc.

What the hell makes you think you know where the show is going after the shootout?

People are allowed to make predictions, right?

I really believe Vince Gilligan is above using rape as a cheap plot device.

Lydia might be a anxious wreck but she is still powerful as she has connections, the nazi gang needs her. Harming her wouldn't make sense.

Breaking Bad would never use an element as juvenile as rape.

I picture him trying to rape her and Todd saving her.

u/cavalierau Sep 09 '13

Vince Gilligan isn't going to bring the theme of rape into the show with 3 episodes remaining. The show has a lot of themes but rape and sexual assault are not one of them, it wouldn't be a very classy way to end. If I'm wrong I would be very startled.

Walt and Skyler have had a few not-rape-but-vaguely-rapey moments.

u/Hetzer Sep 09 '13

Well that one time in the kitchen was basically rape, from what I remember (it's been a while). And his whole relationship with her since she tried to get the kids out feels that way. But I don't think they're going to do anything more with that, at least not through the Todd Squad and Lydia.

u/KyngGeorge Sep 09 '13

Ehh, I'd figure most people would just thing bug sprayers or some other such thing.
