WARNING HUGE SPOILERS FROM BREAKING BAD BELOW. IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED YET OR ARE CURRENTLY WATCHING BUT HAVENT FINISHED, DO NOT CLICK THE SPOILER. I REPEAT: IF YOU PLAN ON OR ARE CURRENTLY WATCHING BREAKING BAD, DO NOT CLICK THE SPOILER!!!!!!!

so i’m on my like 6th watch of Breaking Bad and i’m about to get to the scene that inspired this thread idea

the scene that really f***ed me up is when hank gets shot and killed by uncle jacks crew while walt watches and is screaming for them not to do it. when hank says “walt you’re the smartest man i’ve ever known, but you’re too stupid to see he already made up his mind”, then the famous line hank says before he gets shot

i remember the first time seeing that, i was high as f*** and just sat there speechless. like literally my jaw dropped and i couldn’t speak for like 10 minutes. that moment really captured how far walt had gone, and how there really was no redemption, no point of return. in his pursuit of money, he destroyed not only his immediately family, but his extended as well. it was really over

there’s actually plenty of scenes in breaking bad that f*** me up, though

another one is when he’s on the phone with skyler while he’s on the run from the cops, and he has to call her a b\*\*\*\*, stupid and all that to protect her from being arrested. you could tell he really loved her still and it was killing him to talk to her like that, but he had to to protect her. s*** rugs at my heartstrings every time

breaking bad is really one of the best shows ever man
