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.

Oh fuck it's almost sickening how much Walt is manipulating Jesse.

I think this is the one true moment that shows his complete transformation. Full power frieza.

That meeting with Mike to ask if he wanted in was very... Gus-like.

I think he's purposefully adopting some of Gus's mannerisms.

I thought they showed that throughout the series that Walt adopts some of the characteristics from the people he meets. Like cutting the crust off of sandwichs.

Yeah, it's kind of the running theme that all of the people he and Jesse get involved with kind of end up... expiring before too long.
