How beautifully you have Walter pegged already as a sociopath is amazing. I think everything you said was spot on; the last scene analysis... Yes yes yes. Trying to keep some kind of control. The infancy of his alter-ego we'll come to know as... (wait, no spoilers! I know Sofie you already know but still)
Oh you really don't want to know how easy it is for kids to get stuff even at that age - even worse stuff than that. Jesse stomps on it yeah, but that will only be a minor setback for Jake. All he needs is cash and a connection, and connections are everywhere if you ask around enough. Thankfully I never did meth or heroin ever in my life, but even in middle school I was able to get weed. Now it's legal, like it or not (not everywhere ofc but more widespread each year).
Not that this was the first one ofc Sofie, but I want to point out the AMAZING time-lapse shots of this show before you get much further into it. They happen in many episodes, and are flat-out some of the most artistic shots ever put on TV. This one was of Jesse's parents' home, illustrating a full day going by as Jesse slept. There are many more interesting time-lapse shots coming, and they basically all ROCK. (BCS has them too)
Always amazed how much you read people and motivations. Picking up on Walt's reaction to Hank saying he'll look after his family and so on. I'm so glad you're watching this show!
The scene where his son says he is acting weird, the camera focuses on the crib.. the same crib he bought from crazy 8's father...
I never noticed that before. Interesting.
Can’t wait to get your take on the psychology of all these characters as the show progresses. You have such an ability to understand motivations and read between the lines.
Yes Walt got pissed by Hank saying he would always take care of his family. Most people would find that endearing or comforting but Walt is a very proud man. He's thinkin how dare you think that im not going to take care of my family for the rest of their lives right now before I die.
Walt’s ego is basically a main character
