This is a very well made point. I cannot relate to parents, and that is my bad, but if you emotionally attach yourself to anything in Breaking Bad you're begging to be fucked.

Please fuck off with your token "people are different" diatribe. You're a hipster. Others aren't. Characters died. Some are sad. Gots?

Reddit reference: Unimpressive. Would it kill you to engage the cognitive? Perhaps.

The moment that Jorge delivers something that isn't borne out of reddit's masturbatory underbelly my mind will explode so go go gogogog.g..gog

Just heard someone called this a show about white privilege. Obviously, there is much more than that, but it's definitely true.

Re: TV: Breaking Bad
another thing being talked about..
In the song, the unnamed cowboy narrator falls in unrequited love with a Mexican girl named Felina in the border town of El Paso, Texas, only to kill one of her suitors out of jealously. The gunslinger flees to “the badlands of New Mexico,” and when he returns to El Paso, he sneaks past a group of lawmen to the bar where Felina would dance. The song ends as Felina puts a bullet in the narrator’s heart, but she kisses him on the cheek one last time before he dies.
Felina is the name of the final episode

Odd how no ones really talked about the Todd teased death scene. I can't be the only one that thought Jack was gonna off him for killing the little kid on the bike.
