Breaking Bad? Why would Walt paying Hanks hospital bills be such a big deal?
Because they'd be large bills & Hank would feel indebted. Also, Walt had to come up with an excuse as to why he had that much money in the first place, as he's not meant to be rich.
Breaking Bad (TV series): Why is Hank so mean to Marie after his injury?
After Hank’s shooting he was unable to walk. He was frustrated and felt helpless. Marie is a sycophant and the more she tries to please Hank the more it comes across as fake and manipulative. Hank is mean to her almost as if to try and prod her into an argument that would at least be a genuine reaction as opposed to her constantly plastered - on smile.We see later on that Marie returns to her odd behavior of attending open houses because she likes to pretend to be a buyer. This is probably a ‘happy place’ for her, a coping mechanism where she pretends she is living someone else’s life to escape her own difficulties.Later when Hank is again able to pursue his obsession with Heisenberg (he didn’t know it was Walt yet), Hank is in better spirits and it helps greatly with his rehab. Marie is still actually the same person but Hank is in a better position to handle her being busy himself.They are actually genuinely in love and care for each other despite all this, which makes the show so much more interesting because it’s very much that way in real life.
In Breaking Bad, how is Walter able to threaten Hank?
Hank's career would have been finished and he probably would have been under investigation to boot. Let's review: Hank's brother-in-law is one of the most prolific meth cooks in the American Southwest and Hank was unaware of it.Hank took money from that's same brother-in-law to help pay for "medical expenses (this could be construed as having taken a bribe) during the time that he (Hank) was disabledHank was shot by two killers with tangential links to the cross-border meth trade.Hank severely assaulted the person who was also (allegedly unknowingly) cooking meth with his BIL. Was this a "business dispute?"Hank allowed Walt, a potential suspect, to have almost unfettered access to the local DEA offices (Drug Enforcement Agency) and even set up a fund to help raise money for his cancer treatments.There's really no way that Hank could investigated this matter, much less "busted" Walt without having the spotlight shown on him and his actions/inactions. Even Steve Gomez, Hank's old partner, wouldn't have wanted to know too much about this as it would tainted him as well. The best that Hank could have hoped for was the Walt screwed up in another area or was killed because then it would not be directly connected TO Hank himself. Having Hank discover that Walt and Heisenberg were the same person really ended the series because it turned into Moby Dick from that point forward. Hank was bound and determined to bring Walt down. Since that would have simply resulted in bringing himself down, his partner down and perhaps his entire department, it really made little sense. His evidence would have been as suspect, and it's likely that Walt could have even got away as the tainted nature of the evidence and Hank's tainted testimony would have damaged nearly any case brought against him. Hank's best bet would have been to shut up and ignore both Walter White and the entire matter
What was the episode FLY of breaking bad season 3 all about?
"Breaking Bad" Fly (TV Episode 2010) was a "BOTTLE EPISODE"A "bottle episode" is designed to take up as little money as possible. The easiest way to go about this is to use only the regular cast (or even just part of the regular cast) and set it in a single location, especially if you have a main standing set. This keeps production costs down, because no one needs to scout locations, build new sets, or create fancy CGI graphics of the outside of the spaceship. Bottle episodes are often a chance for a slow, characterization-filled episode before/after a big special-effects-laden action episodesource: Bottle Episode - TV Tropes It was voted by WatchMojo.com as the single best bottle episode ever made. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------However, This two-hander between Walt and Jesse is actually pretty important. I can understand people disliking it but it reveals a lot about the psyche of Walt at this moment in time.1. He admits that the moment he would most have liked to die was when he overheard Skyler singing a lullaby to Holly over the baby monitor.2. He almost admits to Jesse that he was responsible for Janes death. However his being in a drugged state thanks to Jesse drugging his coffee to calm him down actually reminded Walt of the time he admitted to having 2 phones when he was drugged in hospital, and that caused so much of a breakdown in relations with Skyler that the very MEMORY of that admittance stopped him from admitting his part in Janes death (and the subsequent death of over 160 people in the plane crash obviously weighing on his mind).3. This episode allowed the series to continue with Walts guilt and realisations about Jane, Janes father and the plane crash now finally becoming a thing of the past. It's a hugely necessary episode for that reason. Walt moves on and Jesse moves on. Fly, the thoughts buzzing around their heads, is finally squashed.
Breaking Bad (TV series): Why didn't Walter White's insurance cover his cancer treatment?
First of all, this is by no means the canonical answer to this question -- in fact, I don't think the Breaking Bad writing staff ever landed on the complete, definitive answer to this.The general idea was that Walt had health insurance as a teacher, but that it didn't provide very good coverage. There's a couple different ways this could happen:1. States & cities go through periods of greater and lesser prosperity, so if Albuquerque or NM had to negotiate a new contract with their teachers at a time of financial shortfall, one of the solutions for keeping the budget in the black would be to use a health care plan that doesn't offer 100% coverage for every health condition -- and even paying 20% of a $500,000 treatment protocol would be a serious financial burden to the Whites2. Given a choice of plans, Walt went with the plan with the lower weekly premium, so he'd have more take-home pay, knowing that it doesn't offer 100% coverage, and then gets himself in the same jam as above.
On Breaking Bad is Jesse Pinkman the reason for every problem?
I agree with you that Walt's life probably would have been easier without Jesse. He had a good thing going with Gus. Walt could have made lots of money and not had to worry about anything because Gus was so careful about the way he ran his business. He only had problems with Gus after Jesse went after the dealers that work for Gus and Walt had to save Jesse from getting killed by them. Walt's love for Jesse ruined his relationship with Gus and put his life in danger. I don't think it was all about Walt being greedy, I think he truly loved Jesse and the actions that he took were not only to make money but to also protect Jesse at the same time. He did not want to see Jesse get hurt, he wanted to be the one to watch over him and keep him from making mistakes that could end up costing him his life, or killing both of them.
In the TV series Breaking Bad, was Walter White's contribution to the world ultimately positive?
No,in fact Walter White's obsession left the world a poorer place.Some thoughts:Almost 300 people are known to be dead thanks to Walter White's direct actions or inactions. This includes the 237 people killed on board the two 737s which crashed due to Jane's father being despondent after her death from an overdose which Walt could have prevented..The power vacuums left in the wake of Walter White's being responsible (directly or indirectly) for the downfall of three major drug organizations ( the Mexican cartel, The Fring organization and Declan's group) have almost certainly caused the deaths of people who would have remained alive.Unknown number of meth users are dead, have suffered or have caused others to suffer all because of their insatiable desire for Walter White's "blue meth."Walter White has completely shattered his own family. He cost them their home. His wife will face potentially months of DEA questioning, possible arrest and maybe imprisonment. His son will be labeled the son of a murderer and drug baron and will have to change his name and move from ABQ. His daughter will never know her father and will grow up hearing that he was a monster.He widowed his own sister-in-law.He ruined Jesse Pinkman's life by twice being responsible for the deaths of two women with whom Pinkman could have perhaps found happiness. He helped make Pinkman a murderer, a fugitive from justice and potentially (if the tape Pinkman foolishly made with Hank is found) a candidate for the death penalty.He may have destroyed Elliott and Gretchen's marriage and has caused them to live the remainder of their lives in fear if they fail to comply with his demand to provide his son with his drug earnings.All of the above (and more) occurred because Walter White decided that he would cook methamphetamine to pay for his hospital bills and so that he could provide for his family when he was gone.Walter White's life seems to have had a net negative effect upon the world.
