Rewatching Breaking Bad

[TNHarley]

I rewatched it a while back, and will probably do it again before too long.

Finished it - there will never be an ending to a series that is that good.
When Walt is saying goodbye to Skyler and Holly - soo well done. You can feel the deep sorrow of Walt.

Ultimately it became more about power than survival

Walt had more money than he could ever use

One of the best scenes was when Walt admitted to Skylar that he did everything for himself, when previously he told everyone he did what he did for his family.

Funny scene was when Skylar showed Walt the storage locker full of a pallets of cash and complained there was no way she could launder it.

There is a good documentary about BB on Youtube... it is interesting.
The psychology of the show is obvious of course - Men live lives of quiet desperation.
Walt's former life all surrounded his "inaction" - pretty much everything he was living was a result of NOT taking any action, avoiding it.
Heisenberg is not Walt's alter ego. It is who he has always been, but kept it down with fear, risk avoidance etc.
Heisenberg IS Walt in "action" rather than the usual "inaction" Walt. You can see this several times before he becomes Heisenberg.
