Please explain what is unrealistic about the fire dept going to put out a brush fire in the middle of desert?
Nothing. That isn't the point though, the point is Walter felt he had no way out, he tried to kill himself.

Now you want Jesse to be telling the DEA the real story and just hope no one believes him?
except he wouldn't be talking to the Drug Enforcement Agency, since they, you know, enforce drug laws, not kidnappings. Local Police and the FBI would be involved in a kidnapping investigation and they would not just close the case based on the say so of 1 guy caught in his drawers with 1 dead and 1 barely alive guy in a rolling meth lab because his brother-in-law is in the DEA.

UM. If you get kidnapped by a meth dealer and are in an RV full of meth and a meth lab, you talk to the DEA

First of all the DEA does not investigate kidnappings, they are the Drug Enforcement Agency after all, so BIL or not, some other LE, local police, FBI or most likely both would have to get involved. They would not just take Walts word for it, not question anyone else and do no other investigations. THAT would be a big plot hole, but if you are just looking for plot holes on episode 3, just quit watching now.
His brother has a better idea of how to help him than anyone else can. Once again, this isn't about holes, just alternative thinking. Don't take offense.

If Walter decided to call his brother, yes he would.

No one knows that but him and his doctor

Also, just because a character doesn't do what you think he should doesn't make it a plot hole. lol
Wut? So you actually believe that everything that went down in the first two episodes is realistic, everything? This thread has nothing to do with plot holes, just an alternative theory. Don't take offense and act like this show is free from holes.
that's not the point. What he is saying is, that just because a character does not do what you think he should is in and of itself a "plot hole". In other words, Walt contemplating suicide rather than lie to law enforcement officials regarding a fake felony crime (of which investigations would show no proof of) is not a plot hole.

Except I never said it was a plot hole, I said it wouldn't be unrealistic for him to do so.

What do you mean what? He stood in the middle of the road and pulled the trigger on himself. Except he didn't know how to use a gun.

Not to mention Walter STILL needed quick money, and lots of it. In his mind, he was already a dead man on a mission.
Learning curve.
Learning curve.

come on man, now who is being obtuse? You think he just calls his DEA agent brother-in-law and claims he was kidnapped and that's where it end?

Obviously not, I never said it ended there, but his brother could potentially control that damage and consequences. Like I said, shady shite happens everyday irl.

You are taking the liberty of thinking that his BIL will just help him out with this VERY sketchy situation. Which is a huge leap.

quit feeding this idiot troll you guys, it's pretty clear what he's doing

About as big as a leap as Jesse and Walter teaming up. You take your chances when you have no other options. I'm not saying it would have worked, I'm saying it could have.
