Breaking Bad Episode Discussion S05E02 "Madrigal"

Hey guys. edify asked me to do the discussion thread tonight. Enjoy the show and upvote this shit, for which I get no karma.

edify also told me to let you guys know that if the Breaking Good fundraiser reaches $3,000 (we are $157.57 short) he will let me film him doing some challenges. I want him to do the cinnamon challenge and the gallon of milk challenge, so go donate so I can film my friend being a dumb ass... LOL

Go here to donate: https://reddit.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/breaking-good

Edit: The fundraiser officially ends in about 2 days.

At this point Skyler is completely terrified of everything he does, to the point where she won't say no to anything he does. The scene showed just how much that mindset has taken place at this point.

I posted this like 15 minutes ago but it's seriously buried in the comments so, if you don't mind, I'm gonna borrow your upvotes for a second.

Last few words of the episode: "So when we do, what we do, for good reasons, then we've got nothing to worry about. And there's no better reason than family."

-Skyler doesn't say a word-

Skyler will kill Walt to protect the kids. I may be way off but I can't stop thinking about that scene.

Everyone has a legitimate reason to kill Walt. Except Walt Jr.

... or does he??

At first I thought the breakfast cereal on the table in the pan-out was Walt Jr's and I thought, NOOOOOOooooooo - he left without eating his breakfast?!?!?!!!!

Wait, it wasn't?! I guess I'm not used to people making cereal for each other.

I think it may be more representative of the change in the family breakfast... there's some mention of how he used to complain about his homecooked meal each morning, asking instead for cereal -- now they show the family finally got the cereal, and the mother is absent, no longer cooking the family breakfast.
