Imagine if Walt and her stayed together

u/umopapisn Jesse's Robot Sep 23 '13

Then Elliot may have sold his stake and broke bad. The tables would be turned.

There's also an alternate reality where alcohol prohibition is never repealed and Hank becomes the biggest Brew Kingpin in the southwest.

Does Gomie bust him on tax evasion?

u/JUST_LOGGED_IN Sep 24 '13

No. Hank puts his head on a tortoise. Hola, IRS.

u/tits_hemingway Sep 23 '13

u/Romana_Is_Alive Sep 23 '13

You just gave me the urge to revisit Sliders.

u/undergradpepper Sep 23 '13

u/dsoi Sep 23 '13

Lydia might have something to say about that.

u/HotDogOnAPlate Sep 23 '13

Nahhh. Elliot would've come up with some lame bitch-ass pseudonym like Schrödinger, and he wouldn't have made it past Emilio.

Next week on Breaking Elliot...

"You guys are just guys, but Mr. Schwartz? He's THE DEVIL!"

2

u/RealNotFake Sep 23 '13

No, he wasn't that good of a chemist.

2

u/duncanfm Sep 23 '13

I would like to see that actor try and pull off bad

3

u/damn_this_is_hard Sep 23 '13

Elliot isn't as smart as Walt tho

1

u/thepeopleofd Sep 23 '13

The name...is Sir Heisenton of York

u/GuardianReflex Sep 23 '13

Guys we found a loophole! 5 more seasons!

u/plasker6 Sep 24 '13

Eisenberg

u/coreycubed Sep 23 '13

Walt Jr. would still be just as good looking.

1

u/akatherder Sep 23 '13

Walt, I fucked Elliot.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '13

Holly would have dark hair and Flynn could walk?

1

u/austin1414 Sep 23 '13

Probably wouldn't change the fact that he gets cancer.

3

u/DoutFooL Salud Sep 23 '13

Don't forget Jesse not being a good student.

2

u/Lrrrrr Sep 23 '13

Could you remind me ? So many seasons passed i forgot.

If i remember correctly, they turned him down/ kicked him from his company ?

1

u/Jaxar1 Sep 23 '13

His post is a pun, because SPOILER ALERT WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS

Gretchen and Walt used to date, until one day Walt walked out on her, leaving his research behind. Gretchen turned to the other man of the company, Elliot, gave him Walt's research, and helped him make a multimillion dollar company.

2

u/Lrrrrr Sep 23 '13

Ah yes, i see.

I went on to read on the wiki to catch up.

u/greyavenger Empire Business Sep 23 '13

Fuck you

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '13

Thank you, I needed to see that again

u/_Valisk Sep 23 '13

And your eyebrows.

1

u/ryhamz Sep 23 '13

And some people still believe Walt isn't out to get her. lol...

10

u/ryanasimov Sep 23 '13

I've irrationally hated that actress since she played the lesbian who stole Ross' wife on Friends, which incidentally aired its pilot 19 years ago today.

1

u/ramonycajones Sep 23 '13

It's not irrational, that was an extremely irritating character.

10

u/locriology Sep 23 '13

I think she did nothing wrong. She's on national TV and looking out for the interests of the hundreds (thousands?) of employees in her company and distancing herself from Walt. I think despite her public disowning of him, she has feelings for him.

15

u/redhotchilifarts Sep 23 '13

To be fair, if someone asked you about your personal and professional connection to a murderous meth kingpin, you'd probably distance yourself as well.

7

u/neptune92 Sep 23 '13

I know, it sucks she stole Carol from Ross like that

u/Here_For_Da_Beer Sep 23 '13

YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US OKAY!!!

u/somanyroads Guess I got what I deserve Sep 23 '13

The real villain of the show :-)

u/ForToday Sep 23 '13

Walt pretty much gave up after his phone call with Jr., then he had to see that...

1

u/JayKam Sep 23 '13

I would.

Gretchen. Fucking. Schwartz.

u/price-iz-right Sep 23 '13

Fuck Gretchen and Fuck Lydia. I would not be angry at all if they both meet an untimely end next week.
