wow, that is some really deep thinking. I'm surprised Walt's ability to turn on the tears turns you off so much.

But how are we to know what a person in this fictional world is capable of doing?  I'm not sure you can turn on the tears, and I won't say that I can this very second.  That said, given the proper circumstance I believe people in general are capable of much more.

Keep in mind in these instances he has to know that if these performances aren't pulled off with certainty it is life behind bars or death.  I would say that is enough to make a man (or woman) muster up an Oscar worthy tearful performance if needed.

OK, am I missing something with newest Breaking Bad? eyescovered Aug 25, 19:08

Spoilers... lobogotti Aug 25, 19:26

i thought it was a stretch...(sp) islander Aug 26, 06:12

plus... islander Aug 26, 06:32

from the Episode Face Off..(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 07:23

from the Episode End Times..(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 07:20

as you can see from the episode guide... (spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 07:32

I don't think it was a stretch at all, rather very good writing for an excellent show. it's being received well by critics and fans alike. lobogotti Aug 26, 07:34

yes great ep, but still doesnt quite work... islander Aug 26, 07:50

Yep, that was my thinking. {nm} eyescovered Aug 26, 09:02

think about what happens in the episode Moviesnob Aug 26, 07:48

oh posted before seeing this. i guess {nm} islander Aug 26, 07:52

exactly. further points I meant to add, but got a bit busy....(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 08:01

MY concern about this is as above... numbersix_99 Aug 26, 15:34

Well said. eyescovered Aug 26, 16:01

Well, I would RESPECTFULLY disagree. I only see one of those events as manufactured, the others are logical outcomes set up over time. Moviesnob Aug 26, 16:29

Vulture breaks it down pretty good here... eyescovered Aug 26, 16:51

its a recap. It doesn't critique last night's episode other than saying Moviesnob Aug 26, 17:39

Um, not just a recap. Pretty much an entire article on what we're talking about. {nm} eyescovered Aug 26, 18:46

sorry, didn't mean any offense. I don't see where your concerns were addressed {nm} Moviesnob Aug 26, 20:02

here's the writer from the episode (again, vulture) talking directly about the origin and mechanics about the revelation Moviesnob Aug 26, 21:28

No prob man! Maybe you could change your handle to TVsnob ; ) {nm} eyescovered Aug 27, 03:36

perfectly reasonable explanation. and trust me, I'm not a blind advocate for the show...(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 27, 11:27

As entertainment, it's damn good, though for me it used to be better because of these lack of contrivances... numbersix_99 Aug 27, 01:01

wow, that is some really deep thinking. I'm surprised Walt's ability to turn on the tears turns you off so much. lobogotti Aug 27, 11:24

I think.... numbersix_99 Aug 27, 14:00

ha! The debate that will go on for years to come, The Wire or Breaking Bad. At this point I feel BB has a slight lead, and the can retain lobogotti Aug 27, 17:39
