Just finished Breaking Bad; questions and thoughts

[The_Yearning]

Late to the party, yes I know.

There is another BB thread on the front page, yes I know. But this is a serious discussion.

1. Why did Walt poison Brock? What was the point of that?

2. Why did Saul switch out Jesse's meth for his cigarette box?

3. Why are there so many idiots/unlikeable characters in this show?

Seriously, Jesse Pinkman was the bane of this shows existence. God I hated his character. Such an idiot! Everything was going great in the Gus era but Jesse had to fvck it all up. Getting all emo, stealing and selling meth on the side, getting emo over some random kid. Walt should have just let Gus do his thing on Jesse and put Risin in Gale's coffee. Seriously, that's what Heisenberg would have done. And it would have been smooth sailing. Gus would have respected Walt enough to not touch his family.

Gustavo Fring, for me, was one the best character in this entire series. The guy was impeccable. Kind of a cop out how he or his men didn't notice the bomb planted on Hector Salamanca's wheelchair. Kind of lame.

Skyler White. The epitome of what is wrong with women today.

Walter Jr and Marie - god I hate these two dumb clowns.

Saul Goodman - great character. BB didn't really start until he made his appearance.

Hank Schrader - he deserved it. Grade A ****.

Walter White - showed that the quality of life is better than the quantity.

Great show.

But better than GoT? Nah. GoT/ASOIAF/GRRM would have killed off most of these annoying characters.

Walt tried to frame Gus with the poisoning

I have a response to most sentences you have posted, but why bother wasting my energy on somebody so negative about a show when they couldn't figure out the answers to such simple questions (the highlighted parts) and doesn't even know the obvious difference between meth and ricin that was spelled out for the audience, and missed how Walt got around them with the wheel chair bomb.

Even though Hank was a douche in the first season, he developed into a pretty great character.

*Spoiler*

I wanted everything to work out for him until Season 5 when he didn't care who he destroyed or what ethics/ laws he would violate to bring down Walt. At that point, I felt like he reaped what he sowed.

If he would have maintained some honor in his personal pursuit of Hank, I would have been sad that he was killed for justice but since he threw principles and integrity out of the window as a 'good guy' I felt like he wasn't much better than the terrible criminals he was pursuing. Jesse's cooperation to assist him should have granted him some reprieve in Hank's eyes but he wasn't interested in saving Jesse's life, he was basically using him as a chess pawn or collateral damage to his own self-interest
