Default Re: Breaking Bad

breaking bad is much more of a story about the characters and the consequences of their actions than about drug or inner city culture, i feel...still amazing, just different

one thing i keep thinking about re: breaking bad (and i feel like i've typed this before, probably in that other breaking bad thread we keep alluding to) is that pretty much every bad thing that happens to walt and his family in the show stems from his decision to shoot down his (ex-)friends' charity when they offered to pay for his chemo.

they were like "we'll pay for it, no questions ask" and walt said basically "fuck you backstabbing jerks, i'm too proud for your money, i'm gonna sell drugs and lie to my family"

and then everything else happens. walt is kind of a cunt, really

but cunts make such interesting protagonists sometimes
