Walter gets chided for being foolishly proud when he doesn't want to accept money from Elliot and Gretchen to pay for his cancer treatment, and while I can see where a concerned wife and mother would think it's misguided, I also think it's perfectly reasonable for Walt to turn it down. It's less an issue of pride, and more an issue of principle. Well, maybe not for Walt, but I think a lot of folks might feel the same way in his position. I don't have a family of my own, though, so it's hard to say how I might feel about it if I did. I wanted to add that I do think Walter not taking the job that Elliot offered him and choosing to cook crystal meth instead was absolutely pigheaded and prideful. He would've been working to earn an income that's commensurate to his skills and not simply accepting a hand-out, and he would've had much better insurance, too. Guess the show would've awfully short in that case, so I'm glad he didn't.

Dude, I COMPLETELY agree with you on Skyler. She is just awful. I'm sure she loves him, but damn. Just the worst.

Mannnnnnn you Gotta remember what timeframe this. This is back when they just started watching what you were buying. 😂 Back when they were still putting ephedrine in those caffeine pills you could buy at the gas stations. Stackers, Yellow Jackets,,,, Hell Stacker 3’s ? It was literally a stack of 3 things. Caffeine, Aspirin and ephedrine. Of course it’s really limited now but you can literally still buy all 3 ingredients at any Walmart pharmacy. Over the counter/behind the counter with an I-D. Baby 1 aspirin, 1 200mg caffeine pill and 1 Broncaid is a legitimate “natural body builder” stack. Broncaid is a bronchial dilator for mild asthma which contains the magic 🤣 And it’s 100% legal

Follow up to my first comment. The reason I know the exact stack is because I use to be fairly deep into clean bodybuilding. Until I decided that creeping up on 50 and thought it would be wiser to lay off the COPIOUS amounts of caffeine I was taking.

So the thing about Walter they don't emphasize nearly enough in this show is that he was truly probably the greatest chemist of his time. I'm fairly certain that some of the chemical processes he uses throughout the show are in real life actual theorized processes that chemists haven't figured out fully! And he settled for vegan bacon :')

I thought your observation skills were slipping a bit when you didn't recognize Gretchen from the chalkboard episode but you finally made the connection. And you already showed your super powers when noticing the itty bitty impossible to see mic on badger.

That's some high praise coming from you, Mr. Fring.

Such a complex episode with so much to unpack. I'll start simple in saying that the cooking montage with Jesse and Badger was amazing. It mirrors the one from episode 1 with Jesse and Walt except now Jesse is the one being serious and Badger is the goofball. I'm also glad you notice all the fine details like the books on the night stand. This show literally thinks of every little detail. As a 6"4 280 pound guy I concur on the bed size lol. Even a queen feels a bit small for me. The reason Walt doesn't want tom take Gretchen and Elliot's money is simple. Yes, he helped create their company and they do owe him a lot. He won't accept it because he wants to show them that he was able to make it on his own without any help from them. Taking their money is like admitting defeat to him. This is the episode that made me truly detest Skylar. Putting his business out there and trying to run his life. She even had the nerve to shut him out if he didn't make the choice she wanted knowing that he has limited time left and every second counts. She even uses his own son to make him feel like trash. Even though he said his piece and said the choice was his, it was no choice at all after she laid that guilt trip on him. Hank was just talking awkwardly bc he knew this thing was BS and he didn't want to be there. It's bad when even Marie agrees with Walt lol.

You analysis of this show in particular is quite fascinating to watch unfold.
