Okay, with last Sunday's finale of part one of this seasons Breaking Bad (good lord, mouthful much?) it's finally time to detail my possible theories and reactions.
HOLY MOTHER OF BABY JEBUS WHAT IS GOING ON.
That's about standard it seems. I have so many feels involved with this show that its really hard to find words without screaming.
So I'm not going to waste a bunch of time recapping because you should actually be watching this, not reading it from me. We ended with Hank becoming privy to Walt's secret (that he is selling meth, come on you guys) by finding a Walt Whitman book signed by Gale in Walt's bathroom. Flashbacks alluded to Hank and Walt previously discussing that Walt Whitman has the same initials as Walter White and maybe the giant meth dealing Heisenberg has been under Hanks nose the entire time? And then they laugh.
I've had a theory for a while and recently it was backed up by this article right here that the only thing that could really turn Walt around was the death of one of his children. I doubted they'd kill off Walt Jr (not sure why, I just didn't see that happening) so that turned to poor baby Holly.
The article above also references the particular color scheme of this show. The writer states that he/she believes that pink represents death...the plane crash in season 2, several images of the pink teddy bear from the plane as well as Walts bright pink sweater.

Holly is often seen wearing pink. Yes, she is a baby girl, but that would be a very good allusion as well, and just enough I think to turn Walt around so he can start helping Hank...especially now that Hank potentially has linked that Walt is Heisenberg.
The season 5 premiere shows Walt in what seems to be about a year in the future, hanging out at Denny's on the other side of the country. Firearms, fake ID's and vehicles. There is one very obvious scene in which he has to be wearing a wire. To me that's the only explanation, with as detail-oriented as these writers are I doubt that they'd let a microphone wire just slip into the shot.
Come on.
That photo doesn't even do it justice, its plain as day. Go check your DVR, I'll wait.
So I really have no more theories for the future. My friend Chryshele pointed out that she believe's Walt's cancer is back (also mentioned here among other things). I didn't really think of this but now that it is pointed out it makes boatloads of sense. Walt was coughing up a lung practically at the Denny's a year later (so he at least lasts that long), plus him knowing the cancer is back (and inavertantly hiding it from Skyler...again...) would give him the courage to quit and help the other side, knowing that more than likely he is going to die and now his family is taken care of with the money that Skyler has been saving.
And just for fun, here are some other "allusions" that have been found along the way. Just how much more can this show blow my mind? AND THEN I STUMBLE UPON THIS!? I knew Marie wasn't wearing purple for a reason. Oy to the vey.
I cannot wait until next July, and to find out how this all unravels. Good lord, I really like television. And I don't care.
aw the link is bad to my blog. :( BUT this was good writing. I can not wait till July!
ReplyDeleteIm not convinced that's a wire. If Walt's cancer has returned then that "wire" could be a chest port commonly used to administer chemo treatments. The writers are probably trying to mislead us. I dont buy that the DEA would still be using mics with long wires leading to a tape recorder strapped to Walts leg.
ReplyDeleteMeg passed this on to me and it makes A LOT of sense. I didn't even think about the fact that they probably don't use "wire's" any more with how old school that is, they've probably got better technology and that would make for a good way to mislead us...now stop spoiling yourself and watch season 4!
