Re: Breaking Bad *series finale 8/11/13

Major theme from breaking bad has been walt's ego especially when he's not getting the respect he feels is due from his talent. Gray Matter interview touched that nerve and to add insult to injury he heard the Heisenberg blue was back on the streets. He knows only Jessie has the ability to make his brand so firstly the nazi's disrespected and lied to him by not killing Jesse and secondly their stealing his brand. Todd, gray matter, Lydia and Uncle Jack are all eating off him and his wife driving a taxi! Heisenberg won't take that lying down

The emphasis on Splenda suggests to me that Lydia will mysteriously put ricin in her coffee.

Todd is always polite...yes sir but ruthless.

The writers of this show show open contempt for Hispanic people they get killed brutally

Man! I think you are on target. :yes::yes::yes:
 
Re: Breaking Bad *series finale 8/11/13

Don Cheadle, Steven Michael Quezada, & Bryan Cranston



this was a weird interview , gomez was staring at cheadle the whole time
 
Re: Breaking Bad *series finale 8/11/13

My own thoughts and observations

I doubt that the gun in Walt's trunk is meant for the Nazis. These men are well trained experienced killers that have a whole arsenal of similar weapons. Not only would they see Walt coming a mile away they would blow his head off before he even put his finger on the trigger.

The ricin is not meant for Lydia. She is far too cautious to let Walt anywhere near her food. She won't even look her business partners in the eye in public.

Why doesn't Todd simply rape Lydia? he could easily pull it off and she's greedy enough to let him get away with it.

The Series Finale is entitled FeLiNa

In this song, Felina is the main character in this song. I think it will follow the outcome of the song....

 
Re: Breaking Bad *series finale 8/11/13

Went back & watched the first 2 episodes of the entire series today. Looking forward to the finale on Sunday. So much good watercooler talk for BB over the years. Props to Gilligan et al.
 
Was it ever determined who warned Hank the two bald cartel brothers were about to get him? He got a phone call that told him to look out. Never was revealed who. Not sure if I missed something or not.

you must've missed the episode where walt was ready to poison her.

the only reason he spared her life was because she dangled the carrot of european distribution.

otherwise the ricin was going into her drink.

if we're referring to the same incident, it was walt that tipped off hank about the salamancas.
 
the only thing of note I found interesting was lydia strongly implying that skylar needed to be "silenced"...wonder if lovesick todd will go back and finish the job...that discussion kinda came to a halt tho when todd mentioned his latest batch @ the time was @ 92% so maybe she won't pursue it

Fe Li Na

Blood, Meth, Tears.

Also an anagram for Finale.

the felina character in the song makes more sense to me.

the only question would be which character (or aspect) of the show is the symbolic representation of "felina".
 
cranrab wasnt jessie the one who told walt about hank getting shot? he had no idea

makes more sense for gus/mike to call hank right at the moment

remember gus was the one who told the cousins about hank, i dont think walt knew about them yet

Oh yeah, no doubt.... on listening to the song I'm sure that the allusion to the story in that song was intentional (cool song btw never listened to the lyrics before). I'm also sure that the Fe Li Na (iron, lithium and sodium or blood, meth, tears) and "finale" meanings were intentional as well.

BB has a sharp-ass writing crew.

dope...and reading the lyrics I think they may be alluding to walt being in the clear but then attempting to reach out/come back to his family only to be killed by the one he loves...maybe his wife...his punk ass son...or the baby like in the simpsons lol
 
this is the part of the song that is most relevant. walt being the narrator, rosa (skyler?), felina (walt's empire or hubris?)

Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done.
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;
I had but one chance and that was to run.

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,
Out where the horses were tied.
I caught a good one.
It looked like it could run.
Up on its back
And away I did ride,

Just as fast as I

Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico.

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.
Everything's gone in life; nothing is left.
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death.

I saddled up and away I did go,
Riding alone in the dark.
Maybe tomorrow
A bullet may find me.
Tonight nothing's worse than this
Pain in my heart.

And at last here I

Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;
I can see Rosa's cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward.
Down off the hill to Felina I go.

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;
Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.
I have to make it to Rosa's back door.

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side.
Though I am trying
To stay in the saddle,
I'm getting weary,
Unable to ride.

But my love for

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.

"El Paso" was, at some four minutes and 38 seconds in duration, far longer than most contemporary singles at the time. Robbins' record company was unsure if radio stations would play such a long song, and so released two versions of the song:[1] the full-length version on one side, and an edited version on the other which was nearer to the three-minute mark. The full-length version was overwhelmingly preferred.

"Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl..."

The song is a first-person narrative told by a cowboy who is in El Paso, Texas, in the days of the Wild West. He recalls how he fell in love with a young Mexican woman, Feleena,[2] a dancer at "Rosa's Cantina". When another cowboy made advances on "wicked Feleena," the narrator gunned down the challenger, then fled El Paso for fear of being hanged for murder or killed in revenge by his victim's friends. (The truncated version of the song, often found on compilations, omits a verse in which the narrator expresses shock and remorse over the killing before realizing he has to flee.) Exiting El Paso, he hides out in the "badlands of New Mexico."

The narrator switches from the past to the present for the remainder of the song, describing the yearning that drives him to return to El Paso: "It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden / My love is stronger than my fear of death."[1] Upon entering the town, he is attacked and fatally wounded by a posse or his victim's friends. At the end of the song, the cowboy recounts (or hallucinates) that he is found by Feleena, and he dies in her arms.

Six years later, Robbins wrote a sequel to "El Paso," telling the story from Feleena's point of view (see below). This song confirmed that the cowboy does indeed die in Feleena's arms, although in the original song her eyes were described as "wicked and evil," lending support for the hallucination ending when "El Paso" was originally written.
