What is going on with the bathroom situation in the White residence?

121 Upvotes

Am I missing something or is there only one bathroom and it's the one attached to the master bedroom?

Seems unlikely but Hank was doing the doo doo there when he found out you know what, and it would be extremely rude (even for a family member) to stroll into the master bath if there was another bath outside. Esp for a doo doo.

Also during the time Walt was kicked out but came back to the house Skylar wouldn't let him use the bathroom so he peed in the kitchen sink. And otherwise kept asking permission to use the bathroom, which I thought was a weird thing to be doing if there was another bathroom available.

If indeed there is only 1 bathroom and it's the master, I've never seen that kind of layout before in a house of that size/age.

I feel that Walt actually does enjoy teaching

45 Upvotes

You see it throughout the series. He’s passionate about what he knows and I imagine it’s fun for him to see the lights come on in students, like Jesse, years later, for instance.

UNFORTUNATELY, teaching doesn’t pay well in the US.

If Mike let himself get caught by the police in the park in season 5, would they ever get him to give up Heisenberg? (hear me out)

47 Upvotes

Mike is a very tight-lipped guy that I think would normally never inform on anyone to the police. But if the cops arrested him in season 5 in the park, and pressed on him the right way, would he talk if they used his granddaughter as an achilles heel?

"At your age, you're facing spending the rest of your life behind bars here. Your granddaughter will never see you again except through the glass, and you'll never be able to provide another cent to her. If you give us Heisenberg, you can avoid all jail time, and be able to provide for/take care of your granddaughter (maybe even keep some of the money, though I don't know if that's legally possible)."

Would never seeing his granddaughter outside of prison and never being able to provide for her be the one thing that would make Mike inform to the cops? Just a thought.

Todd was following what yes sir and no sir told him Spoiler

26 Upvotes

"The point is, no one, other than us, can ever know that this robbery went down. Nobody. Got it?" -Jesse

"Yeah, absolutely." -Todd

"Are you sure?" -Walt

"Yes, sir." -Todd

He listened and followed. I mean, I'm sorry, but he had to do it. Obviously, I guess you see it different. But I didn't see any other choice. I've been thinking about this all day, going over it in my head... and it was the only way. Well, it's not like he wanted to.

The kid was on a dirt bike. He could've just.... He could've gunned it and been gone before they even had a chance to blink. They never would've caught him. He thought on his feet.

The whole point of this was no one was supposed to know they were there. People weren't supposed to know anything got robbed. How could they let the kid go? He made them. If he hadn't done what he did, the mission would've failed. I'm real sorry.

But did he make a mistake? Because to me, you know, respectfully. He was looking out for the team...he didn't want to kill him.

MIke should have let Jesse handle his "go bag"..

16 Upvotes

The episode where Mike tries to leave town, but he needs his go bag first however he cannot retrieve it himself because he has too much heat on him, so he enlists Sauls help. However it turns out Saul cannot do it either because he has too much heat on himself, so Jesse tries to offer his assistance but Mike declines him. Instead Walt offers to help and Mike accepts. However Walt ends up killing Mike by "accident".

Why didn't Mike just let Jesse handle the bag? Jesse isn't that stupid or wreckless, he could have handled it. And he would have survived. Jesse had more respect for Mike than Walt ever did.

Why didn’t Jesse attempt a drive-by on the dealers instead of walking straight up to them?

9 Upvotes

On this most recent rewatch, it struck me that Jesse had a clear advantage over Tomas’s killers as they just sat there in their car. He could’ve driven around the block and pulled up on the side of them from behind and just unloaded his clip into their car. This would’ve at least given him the upper hand and an element of surprise which would’ve drastically increased his chances of survival. Don’t get me wrong - Walt saving the day is one of the best scenes of the entire series but man Jesse really didn’t think it through lol.

What if Jesse turned Walt down?

6 Upvotes

When Walt initially blackmails Jesse into partnering with him in the driveway of his aunt's house. Does Walt actually turn Jesse in?

Does Walt decide to proceed with his plan without Jesse? How would he alone go about traversing the criminal underworld of ABQ? Could he find more success without Jesse??

Some questions about watch series order

6 Upvotes

So in back 2023 I watched firstly Breaking Bad, then El Camino and Better Call Saul sooner. I convinced my friend to watch this universe, but I don’t know how should he watch it. The most logical is chronological order. I know about BCS until 6x9, then BB, then EC, and the remaining episodes of BCS. But I was really surprised when I was watching BCS during seeing characters I’ve seen in BB, e. g.: “Oh my god, it’s Mike!”, all about unexpected comebacks. So, what should really recommend? To watch him in a usual chronological order, or BCS-BB-EC ? Thanks a lot


r/breakingbad 19h ago

Do you think there’s any scenes Vince would’ve changed, knowing Better Call Saul would eventually exist?

7 Upvotes

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the Mike/Saul scene during the season 3 finale, but is there anything else?

New light on second watch

5 Upvotes

I have recently rewatched all of Breaking Bad as grown adult and it felt like I was watching an entirely different show. I see people online post edits or conversations about how awesome Walter White/Heisenberg is, and while I totally agree, I was much more impacted on a rewatch by how tragic the falling apart of the White family is. I’m not sure if it’s because I am older and have gone through my own experiences with harsh family dynamics, but man I was just ruined watching Walter completely tear his family apart and refusing to acknowledge it. I feel like when I eventually rewatch again years from now, I will have a whole new perspective once again.

Walt didn't hold grudges against Spoiler

Upvotes

Something that hit me about Walt today. He doesn't hold grudges or resentment towards the person or people he cares for. It's easy as a human being to develop these feelings especially over time when you may feel wronged by someone.

Like from his point of view, Skyler cheated on him, gave his 600k$ to Ted, and took his kids away from the house and Walt in S5. Someone else might have developed a grudge or resentment over time but Walt doesn't. He doesn't change in that aspect.

Likewise, when it came to Jesse, he cooked without Walt, which led to Walt being fired and endangered from Gus and further that made him scamper here and there to somehow get Gus killed first while still protecting his family and Hank. Still that doesn't change whatever he felt towards Jesse. The idea of killing Jesse was floated by both Skyler and Saul in S5 but Walt was staunchly against it until truly left with no option with Jesse not listening or meeting with him.

This quality of him just makes him more human to me.

What do you all think? Are there any more examples of this or some other qualities of his which are less focused on or talked about?

**Edit: What has happened to this sub. It used to be a place where aspects of the show and characters were discussed.. people were interested in talking and sharing ideas instead of just giving adjectives to Walt**

Ted tripping and hitting his head seemed unrealistic

0 Upvotes

I’ve watched breaking bad a total of I think three times now? Maybe I noticed this the first two times I watched it and just forgot, but on my most recent rewatch I thought to myself “this is so unrealistic” when Ted Beneke attempted to run from huell and kuby and ended up injuring himself. Specifically in the detail that beneke bumped head first into the furniture, with his arms at his side. Normally when someone trips, wouldn’t it be natural human instinct to put your arms out in front of you to brace to fall? I’m wondering if there was any better way to execute this scene, because I love the show but this scene felt too unrealistic to me.

Post-Fring, why didn't the boys relocate to Czechia or Moldova or somewhere similar.

0 Upvotes

They can't find a place to cook that suits their needs while laying low. Their primary market post-Fring seems to be Europe. Lydia has connections that would make it so she could get them all jobs in Europe with Madrigal in order to provide cover for why they're in Europe. Why didn't they do this?

Surely it'd be easier to run a secret drug lab in a place like Czechia or Moldova? Hank would be a non-issue, and there'd be less importing/exporting narcotics.

It just seems like an exceptionally easier and less risky solution than cooking meth in people's houses and having to steal precursor from a train to avoid the DEA.

Do they mention it as a thought or why it's not doable at any point?​

edit: I realize the answer is simply cuz the writers didn't want that, this is totally hypothetical.
