It may be, he has a new social and name so he should be able to get a job.

Carpenter in alaska can probably be a healthy profession.

But joe may take that much, and some of it may be a security deposit.

I think he was a man of his code and will help anyone who pays.

Jesse shouldnt have said he was the one waiting that first time. But, I take it to even get that far joe knew who he was already. He didnt want to help him and even if he was $1 short. But he said his word was his bond. Something Clovis also said to jesse.

That's not correct at all. Plenty of people saw Walt cook but couldn't get to his purity

Yes, this is exactly why it's a flaw.


Meh. There’s a reason why top notch chefs are top notch chefs. It’s not just following a recipe. If that was the case then why would anyone ever pay for an expensive chef? Just hire someone who could follow their recipe, right?

If S2 Jesse could have learned the cook..todd could have too

We have no reason to believe this. In fact, Todd’s inability to learn how to cook well was a major plot point.

Anyone else just feel like this movie isn’t bad but truly irrelevant because this is exactly what we all assumed happened?

I sincerely want the last 2.5 hours of my life back. The movie added zero to "the greatness" of BB. Then I sat here and read all of you guy's positive review of the movie. It was nothing but a money grab.

1. Glad they kept WW dead so as to at least let some dignity remain with the television series.

2. Kandy was the big reveal of remaining people that wronged Jesse. So, he had to go kill them? For what, the show never once mentioned anything prior about someone else help the Nazi Biker group chain up Jesse. That was stupid.

3. Oh geez. Thank God Jesse got to give a letter to vacuum guy to give to Brock because I really needed that closure. I needed to see him actually acknowledge Brock's existence after breaking out the compound.

4. I get liking the movie because of prior characters returning, but Todd's character was developed further than Jesse was.

5. And Jesse just looked like a little bitch. He had ample opportunity to kill Todd but couldn't because he was scared the biker gang would kill the kid. It's fight or flight Jesse.

He could have killed Todd and the bikers wouldn't have known about Todd's whereabouts for a few hours. They didn't move Brock. So Jesse could have driven straight to the house, picked up Brock, and then turn himself, WW and Nazi Biker gang in and ask that Brock be taken care of.

This movie was pointless.

I'm sorry .... but you interpreted my review as positive?

That's on you pal, not on me.

As far as the rest of them "all" you should understand the board dynamics by now. There were more than just me that did not give a positive review btw.

You assumed that’s what happened to Jesse?

How?

Anyone with a brain assumed when he drove off he would set off somewhere and start over. The in between is irrelevant if it comes to the same closure as the initial ending.

Cinnabon .... right?

So the next Netflick VG film will come after the final episode of Better Call Saul and it will take us to his his escape from the cops and cartel and the drop off by Robert Forester with a new identity that ends him up at Cinnabon.

Walt was the key.

Like I said earlier, teaching jesse came back to bite him. Jesse had more cooks with walter, and Walter seemed to genuinely put in effort to get jesse to apply himself. Which was also a plot point, jesse wanted to do better..and with walter, todd wanted to do better..refusing money till he got it. He was at 70%+ with 1/10 the time jesse had with walt. Plus jesse had prior chemistry experience. It was a mistake for walter to make an equal. I think he applied the advice, "never make the same mistake twice".

I believe jesse is a better cook than todd, no doubt. But I think todd would have been someone capable of learning their method to be consistently close to a 90%.

That’s pretty much how I feel. It was a pretty entertaining 2 hours but nothing really necessary.

Doesn’t add or take away from Breaking Bad’s greatness, which is what I was expecting going in

It was worth it for me to just spend more time with Todd the psychopath. He was a great character.

Yes, creating the process is the genius part. Not following it.

Okay, again, you are objectively wrong. Should I keep saying it? Did you read the part about medicines being produced by machines, which simply execute an algorithm?

Also, the chef's example is wrong too. Chef's delegate their recipes All. The. Time. How do you think they have multiple restaurants? Duh, they hire someone to follow their recipe.

I haven't watched BB in a long time, but it looked to me like the guy who played Todd has put on a lot of weight.

Yep, I think it is safe to say most of us noticed the weight gain, we may have even commented on it.
