Are you people serious? Im not sure how much more obvious it could have been that she was being facetious. If that scene was too nuanced for you guys, then im not sure this show is for you guys. haha.
Shirley, we are serious.
The way it was presented just carried zero sarcasm or humor value to me. A swing and a miss I'd say .
Changing topics - The 2nd part of this last season does seem a bit discombobulated I guess. But if I'm remembering right, there was a bit of grumbling towards the end of Breaking Bad too - with Walt sitting on his thumbs in Maine (or wherever that frozen hideaway was) - until the last couple of episodes which were pretty electric. Now I don't expect Don to rig up an automatic machine gun in the trunk of his car to take out a gang of rivals or to threaten say Roger and Joan into providing his kids with "clean" money. But there are still enough episodes left to send this show off with a bang

Dear God. Sarcasm =\= humor. It wasn't a joke. It was a subtle "jab" to express to him that an expectation that she'd leave her kid for a guy she just met is unrealistic. It's called subtlety. I can't believe people are hung up on this, or that it went over their heads.

Can't believe I missed this before my last post (likely still just above this one). The last two episodes of Breaking Bad were nothing special. I actually think I was depressed not only about the way it ended but about the execution. And I would have killed fricking Jesse (like the actor, Aaron Paul, who played him) with my bare hands after watching his bitch arse melt down throughout the entirety of the second part of the season. I guess I saw it coming, but man did I hate that kid in the end. I had to fantasize that he was arrested just down the road from the Neo-Nazi compound, sentenced to life for complicity in a number of crimes, including Hank and Gomie's murders, and abused for the rest of his life.

You need to get your sarcasm detector looked at, baw. She basically said "OH, so I should just leave my kid for you? Some guy I just met?" She doesn't have to spell it out for you and do quotey fingers. It's a given that her kid is the world to her and it would make zero sense for her to say something like that seriously.
