And gentleman, we can do this *every time*. I don't think Walt is actually concerned only about leaving his family in a comfortable situation. Remember he's about to die, and he plans to leave a mark in this world. When he left the cooking business, he knew that Heisenberg wouldn't be a name to be feared for long. The money is his legacy. If he dies and the money is gone, he won't be eternal. Walter is denying his own mortality, because he feels powerful over anything; in contrast, at the beginning of the first season he confronted his mortality. I don't think that what he told Skylar ws a redeeming quality. So Jessie, you can be free not to sympathize with him anymore.Gus Brunettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554920460249324531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-37409055618126810112013-08-23T09:44:53.152-04:002013-08-23T09:44:53.152-04:00I absolutely love the way this show is paying off ...I absolutely love the way this show is paying off all the things and confrontations that have been building for so long. The scenes between Hank and Skylar and Marie and Skylar were so, so tense and wonderful because of all the years of material that have brought us to these places. It's great to see the history between the characters and the full weight of all that has happened starting to pay off so beautifully.<br /><br />The baby tug-of-war scene was unbelievably brutal. One of the tensest and most upsetting scenes of the series for me. Something about that particular panicked cry just ignites a very visceral reaction in a parent. Tough to watch.<br /><br />I think Hank may actually get something out of Jesse. He went into the office that day prepared to do the right thing, and tell all to his superiors, and so he was karmically rewarded by having Jesse suddenly fall into his lap. Possibly the key to bringing Walt down for Hank. (Just like when he was karmically rewarded for doing the right thing after beating Jesse and confessing his sins by surviving his encounter with the Cousins.)<br /><br />Your pull quote was the first humanizing moment we've had for Walt in a long time. The way Bryan Cranston delivered that line, it made me momentarily see Walt as something slightly less than the monster he is. It makes me wonder if, in the flashforwards to Mr. Lambert, he's back in town to do a "good" thing, and not to go out in a blaze of "glory." And it also ticked me off a little, because I don't want to feel any more sympathy for this man.<br /><br />Some other favorite bits for me were the "high noon" shot, and the shot of Hank and Marie just sitting in the car after leaving the White house. The way she said, "You have to get him" was chilling.<br /><br />I agree with Mark about Kuby and Huell taking some of the money. I think they took a little something, but they just didn't take the whole lot and run off like Huell suggested.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68038377254841518562013-08-23T08:43:53.693-04:002013-08-23T08:43:53.693-04:00I thought of that too, Henrik.

They are going to leave no stone unturned in these final episodes. <br /><br />The biggest moments in the episode for me were skylars meeting with hank and then her confrontation with Marie. Anna Gunn is amaxing and That scene in the restaurant was terrific. You are totally right that Hank went about it the wrong way Billie. He is freaked out and acting on his emotions, rather than thinking it through strategically like a DEA agent should. Although I can't blame him. When it comes to family it's difficult for most to stay emotionally level-headed.<br /><br />And Marie and Skylars discussion was equally as important in regards to the world our characters inhabited. Her slap and silent glare at Skylar when she realized all her sister knew was so emotionally heavy. It's obvious that there is no turning back point from here. Their relationship as sisters will never be the same and these two family's will never be together in the porch drinking together again. It's been many seasons in the making and the writers, directors and cast are not backing away from showing the tragic reality of the choices Walt and Skhlar have made.<br /><br />My only complaint is that the hour goes by way too quickly every week! I want more. And at the same time I don't, because I don't want this incredibly powerful show to be over just yet.

And I'm not sure Walt would care if they did, hence his hilarious and gruff, "Close enough." Walt has no clue how much money it is. He just knows he has no choice about it at this point, and it's enough. <br /><br />Ps Belize responded!<br /><br />http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/belize-tourism-makes-most-countrys-unflattering-mention-breaking-bad-151988Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949673745068016102noreply@blogger.com
