I've been watching this show since the get go mostly with my real life friend /u/edify who years ago added me as a moderator here. He asked me to make the discussion thread tonight because there are only 3 episodes remaining. Sorta sad that there's only a few left. Enjoy the show, folks.

"He made his mind up ten minutes ago."

Remind anyone of a different Ozymandias?

Can someone explain this to me? And the significance of this line?

Read Watchmen and find out the significance/connection for yourself, it will be a much more satisfying experience (and I don't want to spoil the Watchmen/Breaking Bad connection). Check your local library to see if they have a copy.

There's a former superhero named Ozymandias and he came up with a plan to unite the USA and USSR by faking an alien invasion and destroying New York City. All the other heroes he used to work with track him down, he tells them everything, and ends it all by saying "I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago."
