I love how the writers will parallel Walt and Jesse.

Walt is cruel in refusing money from the wealthiest end of society, a society to which he desperately believes he should be a part. Walt wishes them to fall out of luxury and have the money he think they didn't earn ripped from them.

Jesse is compassionate in demanding money from the filthiest end of society, a society to which he desperately wishes he was not a part. Jesse sits patiently hoping these horrid people will successfully have money they didn't earn fall into their laps.

So beautifully written.

There also is an awesome allusion when Jesse walks into the house and picks up the wooden leg. A similar scene occurs in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
It foreshadowed an outcast (Jim/Jesse) protecting a white trash outcast son of a junkie parents (Huck/Lil Red) from seeing the corpse of his dead father (Pap/Spooge). Both Pap and Spooge are killed by vicious blows to the head as they spent the night in a filthy den of drugs, alcohol and prostitutes.


I believe this is a responsible close viewing of this episode. maybe?

I saw "The Changeling" when I was in high school. Creepy!

Hey Kelley I love the show and the podcast. I wish I could subscribe through iTunes so it automatically downloaded each week, someone over there should set that up. I also want to say that the writers of this episode stole my speech patter from a sketch I did about two years ago. If you listen to the meth head father when he says, "maybe I need to go see a hospital or something." I distinctly say in this sketch, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLqWtbyCtyw&feature=channel_page 2 years ago, "I'm gonna get some ambulance." In both instances we are referring to medical assistance and we aren't speaking proper English. Thanks for paying tribute to my sketch J Roberts and Vince Gilligan.

Another great episode, great editing Kelley and thanks for entertaining me week after week.

Dustin,
Do a search in itunes for breaking bad and scroll down to the podcasts area and you will see it there. I do think it would be a good idea to have a link or button to subscribe right here though.
