Great song put to great use 
- Spoiler:
- I like your theory, Bungo, about "the man" and Walt's return. You knew that bad things were bound to happen then. Agree on the nod, that was the best possible way to end their relationship. However good the writers were, that was better than any line they could've thought up. Says something about them as writers, I guess - knowing when to write just "Walt nods", and leave it at that

Perhaps not the most humane idea of a compilation vid, but I like how it starts

- If you think about it, Walt is responsible for Jane's death and her death caused her father to mess up the flight direction for that plane. In a way Walt is responsible for quite a lot of mayhem

- I don't think Walt is responsible for Jane's death. Sure, he could have stopped it, but he didn't cause it.

Still too soon for a rewatch, but this one will do for a while

I've posted this in the music thread, but I just read this comment on youtube, and it was so fitting I had to post it here as well
Agreed

Dear Mister Cranston.
I wanted to write you this email - so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber - I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency.
I've just finished a marathon of watching "BREAKING BAD" - from episode one of the First Season - to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. [Ed note: There are in fact five seasons of Breaking Bad; this might have been wishful thinking.] (I downloaded the last season on AMAZON) A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.
I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!
Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen - ever.
I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I've sort of lost belief in anything really.
But this work of yours is spectacular - absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers.... every department - casting etc. managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that over used word) awesome.
From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.
If you ever get a chance to - would you pass on my admiration to everyone - Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, R.J. Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada - everyone - everyone gave master classes of performance ... The list is endless.
Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.
You and all the cast are the best actors I've ever seen.
That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It's almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.
Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.
Best regards
Tony Hopkins.

Anthony Hopkins knows a thing or two about portraying a monster. What a wonderful letter.

Basically Walt's a dork who's trying to convince his family he's a cool meth dealer Watch them in order if you like, there's a funny story throughout. Sort of.

It wasn't my favorite ERB, but I thought it was good. I haven't seen The Walking Dead and only the first three seasons of Breaking Bad, so some of the jokes were undoubtedly lost on me.
