Explain this episode.
Explain this episode
the duality of man
It was directed by the guy who ruined Star Wars.
Filler
its subverted your expectations
Jesse explains it at the end.
Came here to say this exactly
It copied the play 'the auditioners'. The scene where he talks about 'if I just could have re-arranged the words or chosen the right combination of words I could have changed this' was literally pulled straight from a scene in that play. The play was obscure though so no one knew they stole from it
The plight of migrant workers
How Rian Johnson turned Breaking Bad into a
slap stick comedy for one episode. Years later he would go on to give Star Wars the same treatment.
the fly is a metaphor for guilt. how the fuck do you idiots not understand this yet?
It was the stupidest single episode that I have ever seen but it did have
>Oh! Zzzzzap! Somebody got GOT,
so there was that.
Or maybe you are just overthinking it
Like any other moron art critique
The episode I think is supposed to remind us of the songs the tales the stories or mantras whatever you want to call it. It is meant to remind us of whatever we sugarcoat reality with it doesn't change that reality is horrifying.
The scene with Walt talking about how he has lived too long is one of the best scenes ever you fucking retarded obese pieces of shit. FUCK YOU
Rian Johnson, ruining one franchise at a time.
Big surprise that his BrBa and his Star Wars episodes are the most controversial.
bottle episode
i unironically enjoyed it
it's actually implied pretty heavily. and you might have picked up on it if you didn't have fetal alcohol syndrome, or whatever has caused you to be a dipshit that can't pick up on basic symbolism

I thought the fly was suppose to not really represent anything but show Walter White's descent into madness.
>ruined star wars
may i introduce you to the prequels?
its the equivalent of onsen episodes
the fly was walt's guilt for Jane's death
he apologized to Jesse when drugged and it helped him move on
At least Lucas had a vision. He was just a shit writer. But he had ideas. He created Star Wars and if anyone had the right to ruin it, it was him.
Ruin Johnson is just a miserable fuck who gets off on subverting expectations.
Part of why I was so disappointed with TLJ was because this is my favorite BrBa episode, Rian's episodes were genuinely some of the best and he benefited from being kept on a leash by Vince and co. Giving him complete directorial/creative control is just a recipe for disaster.
I can then be Academic Association this kind of magic?
The problem about TLJ wasn't his directing. He's a good director. Creative even. But Rian simply doesn't understand Star Wars, Luke Skywalker, etc from a writing perspective.
Who's directing El Camino?
The dialogue was good
Backstroke of the West memes? In a Vince Shilligan thread? Friend you are crazy!
What were Yea Forumss thoughts on this character?
Jesse talks about a possum that lived under his aunt's house.
>Sometimes I’d see him outside at night and it’d just, you know, freeze. And it’s like you’re not looking right at it, right? I mean, it thinks it’s fooling you. That’s what they do -- I mean, they play dead or whatever.
Recall the pink teddy bear and its eye. Walt decides to keep the eye and becomes strangely fixated with it. The eye shows up periodically throughout season 3, almost like it's watching him. Walt's actions have incurred divine judgement and the plane collision directly above his house is an omen from God of his destructive path. God is keeping a close eye on Walt.
In Fly, Walt questions whether life is really just random chaos or if there's a deeper meaning behind the coincidence. Meeting Jane's dad on the same night he let Jane die.
In Jesse's story, the possum is Walt. He thinks he's fooling God.
Stupid shit trying to be middlebrow and failing.
Writers’ strike?
Rian Johnson
This. It was honestly my least favorite episode.
