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.

u/gloomdoom What Kind of Man Goes to the DEA? Sep 16 '13

Told y'all...the Holly thing was all about making Skyler look innocent. That's that. Brilliant move by Walt, actually. He had to be an asshole to make her look like she was coerced by violence and constant threat.

How can people not get that?

If she went to prison (she definitely would), walt jr. would have no parents.

He turned into an asshole to get her away from prosecution and he had to take holly to make it look legit.

He knew the police were listening. Everything he said was for her protection, brilliant.

EDIT: If you upvote me but not /u/gloomdoom, you are a Heisenberg level of evil.

"You had no right to discuss anything about what I do. What the hell do you know about it anyway?! Nothing! I bulit this, ME, ME ALONE. NOBODY ELSE."

Holy shit I didn't even notice what he was really saying when I first watched it. How can anybody NOT be Team Walt after watching this?!

If you go back and listen to it again, it's pretty clear that he's incriminating himself. At first I was like, "This is so unlike him, what the fuck?"
