How the Breaking Bad finale lied to you (and why you were so easily fooled)
It happened. You're looking for the wrong things. Gilligan himself said that he doesn't go THAT deep with symbolism and sometimes he's just retrofitting continuity issues he overlooked before. Anyway, Walt's felina is the realization that he loved being good at cooking meth. He made the best, ever, period. Walter lies to everyone, but as Vince Gilligan said he lies best to himself. Months alone to think about the nature of his situation may have caused him to see through his own lie. He said he did everything for his family, and he didn't even realize that he was lying. It wasn't a secret he kept, his tragedy is that was not aware of the lie himself. He saw the potential and thought on it before his diagnosis. When Hank showed his bust to everyone at his 50th birthday party, that's when Walt's gears kicked into motion. The diagnosis only set it off as a sort of desperation to scramble and find that happiness and the desire to actually use his potential for greatness. Walt loved his family but he had no idea he loved the business and all of its dangers even more. In the end his desire for greatness cost everyone he cared about and grew to care about over that time period. Also, the white supremacists did try to direct walt into the carport but he played dumb and they just said whatever we'll move it after. Laziness killed them. And they were seriously lazy always pigging out and sitting around smoking.— June 21, 2014 2:08 p.m.
