Breaking Bad Plotholes

[jadillac]

2 pages and noone mentions gus fring fixing his tie after being blown up

but nah picking a handcuff lock is unrealistic

bruh, that was cinema/entertainment at it's finest. you didn't know what had happened....you heard an explosion, but he walks out he, looks fine....then the camera shows the other side of his face and then he Ric Flair flops



As far as Jessie and the cuffs....Jesse is a meth/cokehead junkie...I don't put anything past him.

He looked like Walt who hadn't shaved...and like I said, people did recognize him as they were getting calls that he was in town.

He looked nothing like the walt that left town, he had lost weight.. hence the ring falling off his finger and him tying it around his neck, he was bald when he left and had a full head of hair when he came back, he had the goatee when he left and a hobo beard when he came back. New glasses that he got from the cleaner, raggedy ass clothes.. they looked nothing alike.

On a serious note (not sure if this one was mentioned) the Cartel shot the shyt out of at least TWO of Gus' Pollo trucks... Both were left just sitting there, riddled with bullets, dead bodies and blood and shyt everywhere-- for just any ol' body to find... how did that NOT spark an investigation on Gus/Pollos?

thats a good one. and 2 dead cartel guys right outside the truck. whent was that in the show? was he a suspect at that point?

Season 4, episode 4 and 6. And no Gus wasn't a suspect yet. Hank talks to Gomez and Merkert at the end of episode 7, and Gus gets called in for questioning in episode 8. And like I said, Mike cleaned those trucks up. He got a call in episode 6, after the second truck got hit.

Fred.

You can fire them long enough to dump drum mags and stuff like that. Eventually if you just keep laying on the trigger you'll have to change the barrel because they'll heat up so much. But peep.

In the 2nd video Chris Costa is not depressing the trigger the entire time, but he's doing bursts moreso because he's standing up and shoulder firing the weapon, and if he just held down the trigger it would be very hard to control. You don't really see people standing up firing M60s from the shoulder like a rifle. I just uploaded it because Costa is a boss.

LOL, props...perhaps I am thinking about a m249 saw, but now that I just thought about it...where the hell did he get the m60...

This is the textbook definition of a Deux Ex Machina...

A weapon that just comes out of no where to save the day.

He bought the M60 from Jim Beaver in Season 5 Episode 1, the same man who sold him the .38 snub nose revolver in Season 4 Episode 2.

Beaver made Walt assure him that the M60 wouldn't cross the border into Mexico when they exchanged the money in the bathroom.

I swear reading this thread it makes me think a lot of people didn't actually watch the entire show.

Duh, I forgot that quick...I just remembered him popping the trunk and it was there...I forgot about the whole transaction.

Clearly he looked like a Walt who had been on the run....hence people DID recognize him.....how are you going to keep ignoring that?

It's assumed that Mike cleaned the trucks out between episodes 6 and 7 of season 4. Hex can probably confirm for sure.

I'd also like to add that realism has never been a standard for quality of a fictional TV show, movie, book, etc.

yeah he said that earlier. I could see that on the first attack for sure since he was there, but it no one was around on gus' team to find out about that second one

 

[Simonsez201]

Not a plot hole but one thing I hated about the last few episodes is that for whatever reason Todd was the voice of reason. Todd! Hillbilly Jim himself

Point taken. You're saying they wouldn't have known where the truck was to clean it?

 

[MenacingMonk]

The ending:

Did he ACTUALLY die?

Did he the popo, get up and blast?

Is he in a hospital planning an escape?.... or did he just give up?

Wait, didn't Marie call Skyler talking about Walt was being spotted all over town or am I just cooking? what are you man talking about in this thread

He looked like Walt who hadn't shaved...and like I said, people did recognize him as they were getting calls that he was in town.

Wasn't it implied, or maybe even stated that Walt was the one placing the fake calls talking about seeing Walt all over town to get the authorities scrambled?

If Carol calls the cops talking about she just saw Walt at the house, but then Walt places 10 calls giving random locations, the feds are all over. That's why Marie was saying the feds weren't sure what he was trying to do.

Or Badger and ol boy making the calls (since they said two or three voices). I still can't believe no one would recognize him...He looked like a malnourished, unkempt Walter White.
