[Premium Access] Breaking Bad - 3x9 Kafkaesque - Group reaction

He's weak

This is a moment when Walt realizes that he is better off dead, after all the cancer would most likely kill him. And by continuing what he is doing, he is hurting countless people around him, look at what happened with Jane, her dad, the plane and the coming of the Terminator twins, never mind the cancer he is causing to society by producing the blue meth, and now to Hank. Then he solidifies his contract with Gus. He tried to kill himself there on the road, that's what he thought was going to happen, for a second, he knew damn well what he was doing. It was his conscience screaming out, whatever good there is still in him. He is turning into a monster living in this reality he created. Kafkaesque. But of course, he pulled back on instinct, he contemplated jumping off into the abyss for good but chickened out.

Nahid's pronunciation of Kafkaesque is hilarious.

"alleged wrong-doing" Fuck do you mean alleged? He was 100% guilty of every wrong-doing she's ever suspected him of. "putting them at risk by smoking" Yes, she did, and that's not okay, but are you seriously implying this makes her worse than Walt who put his whole family at risk by staying in the meth business *after* having learned multiple times that he might make enemies willing to kill him and the people he knows? Skyler was 100% right to try and take the kids away from someone she knew had gotten mixed up in something illegal and could be a danger to all of them. "didn't even hesitate" If that were true then she would have accepted Walt's offer immediately when he first tried to convince her to take his money. She hesitated until someone she cared about was in a bad situation, not the first opportunity. And what's weirdest of all is that Walt doesn't really object here to Skyler's proposal of using his money to help Hank's situation (another thing he's basically guilty of). He basically consents. You're flipping out over her taking the money when even Walt was on board.

I totally forgot this episode is the first time Madrigal Electromotive is mentioned. They're referenced at the beginning of the Los Pollos Hermanos commercial in fine print at the bottom (the restaurant is a subsidiary).

its kafka-esque. it referes to situations very dreary and dark similar to the settings in franz kafka novels

Wow. Skyler is a WORLD-CLASS HYPOCRITE. First, she obsesses about Walt's alleged wrong-doing to the point of trying to take his kids away, (all while putting them at risk herself by smoking). Now that she knows Walt was successful in his endeavors and is sitting on quite a bit of money, she didn't even HESITATE to do the same thing she was up his ass so far about in the first place; lying. She also didn't HESITATE to CLAIM Walt's ill-gotten gains as her own at the first opportunity. God, I hate her.

Hannah: "That's how you say it?" Nahid (matter-of-factly): "Yes."

Rana keeps saying 1 point million, and its funny af

Griff

The scene where Jesse talks about the wooden box emphasizes his character perfectly. He's a genuinely good person who makes terrible decisions.

i love nahid trying to pronounce kafkaesque

I wonder how many problems Walt and Jesse could have avoided in these 3 seasons if they just communicated more to each other. At this point Walt should know that Jesse is angry and might do something stupid.

a homophobe kills the love of my live and u bet my gay ass would build a meth empire out of spite and use it as revenge just as gus did.

Rebel Pilot

Looks like I'm the only one who wanted Hank to be gone already

ElectricAnt

i am really impressed by the reaction and analysis as it is happening. Hannah's colour identification has made me appreciate the show even more.

Rob Brown

"How much money does [Gus] need?" [SPOILERS] I mean it's made pretty clear later that Gus isn't doing it for the money but entirely as revenge. The money is just a plus

autumn

This! The girls are so good at character depth and nuance and that's basically all it is

autumn

PLEEEASEEE, don't read the words ending with ...que as ...kie, they're blatantly French and like a gentle Français aristocrat you should read it as ...ck. Think of unique, opaque, mosque, clique... Last letters in French are almost never read out loud, you are reading it as if the word was Kafkaesque.

SinancoTheBest

please do better call saul after breaking bad! Its a masterpiece :D

I’m hoping next week Nahid throws us a bone and double drops the next two so we can get to the good stuff.

Ryan

I love Walt leaning in with Marie to find out how he “made” his money. It’s such a great touch by Cranston.

Ryan

These are my least fav few episodes in the series. Once we get to half measure it picks up

MeltedWhiteBrain

Lost my shit laughing at Nahid confidently mispronouncing Kafkaesque at the start

Sachal Ali

Best episode next week 🤪

KBM

I like how confident Nahid is in pronouncing Kafkaesque, despite being amazingly wrong ;)

Joseph Sanchez

It's pronounced closer to Kafka-esk. The word comes from Franz Kafka <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka</a> . His book "The Trial" is a good example of why the term came about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trial" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trial</a>

Patrick

The famous wooden box monologue is great. Also I love how Walt eventually plays along with Skyler's story and then tries to one-up her by making himself sound like the best in the world at blackjack.

Jarrod Wild

Uncut comes out on Friday

Jose

I'm a new premium normie (10$). Where do I get the uncut of this? :)
