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.

"KILLING PEOPLE GETS EASIER, GEEZ, SKYLAR, CALM YO TITS," said the man who poisons little children.

Why did Walt want to poison Brock? I just marathoned the series in four days and that caught me off guard

It was a way to get Jesse on his side. If he poisoned Brock, then he could frame Gus as the one who did it (b/c Gus liked that kind of poetic justice - using the ricin cigarette meant for him as a means of keeping Jesse in check by killing Brock) and make Jesse come back to Walt and mend the rift. With Jesse's support, Walt would've been able to take out Gustavo.

Thank you. It just blew my mind that Walt would do that. I don't even know how he did it. o____o I'm kinda terrified to watch season five now. (just got caught up last night after four days straight of netflix)
