Loucks posted:Rehashing an old movie that didn't really have any loose ends as a miniseries instead of coming up with something new and creative. They've had a few misses, but for the most part the Coen's past work has been fantastic. I just don't see a Fargo miniseries as anything but a lazy cash grab.

The show had me from the pilot. My sister had been telling me that I had to watch it for a few years. I blitzed the first three seasons just in time to watch Season 4 live.

Walt wasn't that paranoid. The guy who got drunk and explained to Hank how Gale couldn't be Heisenberg is totally the same guy who'd leave that book lying around. Walt went through periods where he thought he was untouchable, especially after he killed Gus.

I'm pretty sure that Gus as an general under Pinochet was just a fan theory. I don't know if they ever gave out details about Gus's past in the podcasts, but I think all we know from the show was that Gus was had connections in Chile that were important enough that Don Eladio didn't want to outright kill him.

There were toys in the house when Walt came over, so it either was an elaborate lie (I think that's a bit much, but I know people have said that), or his family exists but just never appeared on-screen and were out both times that he had Walt and Jesse over for dinner. Or Gus was divorced, and the toys were there from visitation. Yeah, maybe his situation kinda mirrored Walt's in that respect.

Yes, Gus has connections with an important person or people back in Chile, whether in the political, military, business or organized crime spheres. That's the extent of what we know. But I doubt that he was actually a general under Pinochet.

He doesn't say that he was a general under Pinochet, as you said, he just said that they were purposefully vague about his past and what he might've being doing during those years.

It made it so that simply gathering evidence and taking it to the DEA, like he was originally doing, was going to backfire. So he had to back off a little and find a different tactic. Which he found when he happened upon Jesse.

I guess it depends on whether or not Flynn thinks that the Schwartzes would actually help Walt with something like that, if that's more believable than whatever story that the Schwartzes come up with (I know that a lot of viewers don't buy that they would actually do it). He won't know about the laser pointer hitmen, of course.

Even looking at it cynically, I think it's reasonable to figure they'd prioritize finding someone who should be suspected of being involved in murdering two of their comrades.

BlackJosh posted:Why would Jesse be a suspect? Marie is the only one to tie Jesse to Hank and Gomie and she would have known how closely Jesse and Hank were working together and that he was on the major outs with Walt, who is the one presumed to have killed Hank and Gomie or at least ordered their deaths (remember the phone call?). Marie didn't know where Hank was or that he was with Jesse when he was killed, so I just can't see how the DEA would think that Jesse would have been involved in his murder. I think finding the bodies DOES mean the investigations over. Dead hank, dead gomie, Walt was working with the nazis who killed Hank and Gomie at what they presume were Walt's orders at the time because of the phone call he gave Skylar at the end of Ozymandius. The Nazis are dead, Walt is dead. Case closed.

hiddenmovement posted:I think Walt actually did get more out of a kick giving Fs to high school students then working in a lab. Remember he can't work with Gale in season 3 because Gale is an equal (or close to) and Walt NEEDS to feel intellectually superior. So out Gale, in Jessie. Every time he worked in a lab or similar environment before that (like Grey Matter) it was out Walt in __. Eh, he replaced Gale with Jesse because he needed to bribe Jesse into not pressing charges against Hank. I don't think it necessarily went deeper than that. He didn't seem to have any problem with Gale before he needed to make that deal. Lycus fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Nov 7, 2013 |

By magic, people aren't referring to Walt's process, they're referring to how it gives meth-heads super-highs and makes them go wild for it. That part's not a real thing.

Redundant posted:It's not like Walt has some magic process or secret ingredient, if he did Gale would have spotted it quickly and never needed Walt again. Think of it like race car driving; I could get a car around the track, Gale can get it around much faster than me and Walt could get it around just a bit quicker than Gale. That doesn't mean that any of us are ready to fly a jet. Making meth and doing research science (probably using tools and methods that Walt has never used before) are very different things.

Chronicles posted:An interesting thing about that scene, I believe it was cut from some airings (for time or content). Because I first watched the show as a marathon of season 1 just before season 2 aired and never saw that scene until I rewatched on DVD. Don't know if it affected my feelings toward Skyler, but I definitely never hated her. Blazing Ownager posted:Was that in the netflix version? I had no idea what the hell you were talking about but google seems to suggest it was censored out of a lot of cuts, not just certain TV re-airings?

I definitely don't think disliking Skyler = misogynist, but if your reasons for disliking Skyler revolve around bad handjobs, bitchy vibes and nagging, it just makes people suspicious.
