‘Breaking Bad’: The Week’s 5 Biggest Walter White WTF Moments

by Judy Berman. Posted on 1:30 pm Monday Jul 30, 2012

Although individual episodes are sure to keep us guessing, we know what to expect from Breaking Bad’s final season: Walter White, having k!lled Gus Fring, finally seizes the power he’s wanted so badly for so long. As creator Vince Gilligan has said, Walt is transforming from embattled hero into full-blooded villain, and these final 16 episodes are sure to make last year’s b0mb-planting and kid-poisoning look tame. Since we spent the Season 5 premiere drinking blue!!tails and doing spit-takes over Walt’s ridiculous, audacious, and often reckless swagger, we’ve decided that this year we’ll be rounding up each episode’s biggest Walter White WTF moments. The top five for this week, when Walt and Jesse went into the pest-control business and Skyler finally told Marie to shut up, are after the jump.



1. Jesse introduces Andrea and Brock to Walter. “I heard that you were in the hospital,” Walt says to the boy he poisoned, staying to drink a beer and schmooze about his own kids. Ugh. Obviously, the fact that he’s talking to a kid he almost k!lled makes the situation a million times more painful, but why is it that nothing on Breaking Bad makes our skin crawl more than watching Walt act like a nice guy?

2. Walt has the nerve to discuss Andrea and Brock with Jesse. “Seeing you with Andrea and that little boy is nice,” he says. Shudder. And that’s not even the worst part. Then he has the nerve to ask Jesse what his “plan” is for what to tell her about their business and try to scare him into cutting ties with her. “I can’t pretend this doesn’t affect me,” Walt tells Jesse. Because that’s how things work now: Walt gets to have a family but doesn’t think twice about ruining every chance Jesse has at finding one of his own.

3. When Marie confronts him with the news that Skyler had a breakdown at the car wash and asks what’s really going on in their lives, Walt covers his[..] by telling her all about his wife’s affair with Ted Beneke. “I don’t want you to think any less of her — or me,” he tells Marie, once again casting himself as the strong, brave victim. Then, once his sister-in-law is out of the house, he doesn’t even check on Skyler — he heads to the kitchen to bite into an apple, and, we imagine, celebrate one more successful deception.

4. Walt moves back in with Skyler. You know, because he loves her so much and cares so deeply about her feelings.

5. When Skyler wakes from her post-breakdown nap, Walt is in the living room watching Scarface. With their kids. Yes, the baby, too. This scene is what the kids on Tumblr might call a GPOY.

5150.

I'm just waiting on Skyler to finally get got...I'm sick of her face

Gus Fring and Mike Ermentraut were out there doin real thing, breh.

Walter White is a foolish, dishonest, short-tempered, egocentric, arrogant, hubristic manipulator and it's only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down.

haha for some reason i diedd laughing when i saw this scene for the 1e time... [pic]
it was so good.. thats what made it so funny.. i dont know

And with that my non-reading[..] takes an epic L [pic]

Something ultimately bad has to happen to Walt, its like the rules of movies and television. people shown doing wrong must be punished in the end. Can't have society watching and thinking they can get away without facing consequences.

I keep thinking Walter will die, but most likely he will suffer before it happens. I imagine he could end up losing everyone....Something tells me he k!lls Jesse, Skyler, and Hank. They all know too much and have become liabilities. He'll gain all the power, but lose everything that means anything to him.
