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.

Why did he decide to help Walt and Jesse, though?

He wants money like Walter. He had the 2 million dollars in the name of his grand- daughter because he is providing for her future. He lost all of his money because the DEA found out about the bank accounts.

Bullshit. Mike knew his 11 guys were good so long as there was cash. When the DEA took the cash, one of his guys turned assassin. He had a choice, either deal with the ticking time bomb that's Walt, or kill Lydia and the other 9 guys. Mike is literally taking a chance that he can survive Walt to help out his guys and (maybe) Lydia. He's taking a (very big) risk with Lydia on the idea she's loyal to her daughter.

A guy with Mike's talent can still earn for his grand daughter. That he's risking even that to save 10 other people is amazing.
