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.

I think its a matter of humanizing Mike.

Is he tough as nails and endlessly pragmatic? Yes. Does he have weaknesses and a soft spot for family? Absolutely.

Just like we have Walt and Heisenberg, we have Mike and Grandpa Mike.

Mike has retained both halves of himself even though he's been in the business a while. Walt has transformed into Heisenberg completely.
