Breaking Bad

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

First kill. Wouldn't it have been in Ep 1 or 2 where he locked the dealers in the RV with the poisonous gas?

Yeah,... right... I don't count the poison gas in the RV, because they had guns on him and that was purely self defense.... but he got rid of the guy in the basement, didn't he. Although, that was a degree of self defense, too. The dude had a shard of glass and was planning on killing Walt when Walt released him.

Sooooooooooooo...................

Regarding Jesse:

I disliked Jesse through most of the series. He went back and forth between being cool, and acting like a child. He made and squandered several fortunes... more than once he had enough money to disappear and be set up for life, and he always pissed it away.

In the end I will remember him as someone who never had the approval of his father, and unfortunately fell in with Walt who was more than willing to exploit those feelings of approval Jesse so desperately wanted from a male role model. He certainly didn't deserve to become a Nazi meth slave.

In my mind I will imagine him going to the stash of $100k bug-out money that he had the foresight to stash, and he drove up to the middle of Alaska and became a humble carpenter and met a nice Inuit girl and lived a happy life.

Yeah, you kinda like Jesse at times, but overall he was just a fucking idiot. Who you later felt sorry for, kinda.

So what was the deal with Hank and his <s>crystals</s> minerals?

I am sure there is some symbolism, there. "His desire to be sedentary" seems too obvious.

When Hank got shot and couldn't walk he ordered shitloads of minerals off the internet and his wife kept calling them crystals and he would correct her.

It took me about 3 seconds to place who the woman was, and what the spoof was.

I think the problem is that it would have been funnier 2 years ago when it was still fresh. It feels like milking at this point.

Indeed. It would have been great if the actual show had - after the final credits - a quick shot of those two in bed asleep and him jerking awake with a gasp. That was the time to do it. Really a bit too late now.
