    lemme just explain another bit of symbolism. The final episode called Felina because it is the name of the Dean Martin song that plays in the car journey. In the song the character is in love and kills someone, forcing him to run away. Eventually it gets too much and he returns, only to be killed shortly after seeing his love a final time. This is massive foreshadow which I love and noticed as I am a huge Dean Martin fan lol

    • @fraserbeitzel3867
      @fraserbeitzel3867 10 місяців тому +20

      "Felina" is named as such for a couple reasons; mainly "Fe" being the chemical symbol of iron, "li" being lithium and "na" being sodium. Iron is a major component in blood, lithium a major component in meth production and sodium being a major component in salt, which itself is a component of tears/sweat. Combined it is "blood, meth and tears" which is a play on blood, sweat and tears. It is also an anagram for finale, obviously.

    • @AudreyGalaxy
      @AudreyGalaxy 9 місяців тому +47

      it doesn’t matter how he was actually poisoned, all that mattered was that jesse thought he was. huell took the cigarette and so jesse realized that gus had been basically framed by walt

    • @herdiex1940
      @herdiex1940 7 місяців тому +17

      I thought it was because when Jesse was accusing Walt of poisoning Brock, he says that Walt got huell to lift the ricin cigarette off of him (which obviously he did). so when huell pickpocketed his weed off him, it was confirmation that huell could do it, so could have lifted the cigarette off of him. even though it wasn't ricin that poisoned Brock in the end, the cigarette was still missing when Jesse never would've misplaced something like that

    • @glassbowl2147
      @glassbowl2147 7 місяців тому +3

      In face off, you see huell pickpocket jesse. He does take the ricin cigarette. So for him to do it again means jesse has confirmation the first time could've been him taking the ricin.

    • @malfaroangel3896
      @malfaroangel3896 7 місяців тому +1

      I think it basically it very confident that Walt found the cigarette at Jessie house, when Jessie was looking for it before Walt did. Then he realized Huey lifted his weed, he realized he visited Saul right before he lost the ricin

    • @BigBreakfast25
      @BigBreakfast25 7 місяців тому +9

      I think he just connected the dots that Walt had the cigarette lifted so he could frame Gus for brock being poisoned, and that he was the one who used the lily to do it. Knowing that the cig was lifted by Hewell really only means one person could be behind the whole thing.

    Something I've always wondered about Vamanos Pest. They're just a generic pest control company under disguise, but aren't the homes they cook in... pest infested? Wouldn't that contaminate the supply more than that fly ever could? What brings?

    • @turtlebeach03
      @turtlebeach03 8 місяців тому +2

      My theory is that the fly is always bugging Walt in the previous season as a symbol of his guilt for what he's done to jesse, his family, and others. Now that he's this far into the game, he feels no guilt for any of his actions that he has done or will do. Working in bug infested houses, mentally saying vamanos to the pest (guilt)

    First off, I love and adore the show. From the amazing acting, directing, and just the whole scenery/dedication to muddy realism. But the show has massive continuity flaws especially with the main characters, Jessie being the most consistent. It also kinda drags by the third season, but it was still good and believable then. It started in season 2 for me with Skyler. She for a couple episode is completely 180 who she was in s1 and for no good reason. Overreacting when at this point she knew nothing. Their son even turning weird like Walt had done something after everything was blamed on cancer at this point. To where Skyler hid Flynn's name change and threw her smoking in Walt's face when she didnt know anything and after Walt was begging on hands and knees trying literally everything to make up for it, but for some reason she never wanted to hear it and gave her sister more of a chance to apologize for a crime she knew for sure about and almost getting arrested for it than she did to Walt.. for having a medical problem... It picks up from there and Skyler comes back into character. Then S5 happened, completely ruining and insulting the audience, changing the characters. It starts off with Walt saying theres gold in the streets and starts selling again, which literally makes no sense in his character. He starts getting careless and greedy which i believe is the point and what eventually I believe what gets him caught even though I havent seen the rest of the season. Completely debasing his motive which was his family and since he couldnt quit selling before cause of working under someone, his character would stop, especially since he literally put his family in danger. Throughout the series he didnt want to sell, he didnt want the money but for his family. S5 completely removes this motive for no good reason. Jesse breaks up with his girlfriend on a whim, not even showing anything just a mention to walt, despite his character would not do that and wanted to stop selling altogether. He learned his lessons in the show, otherwise there would be no reason for those scenes of him caring for kids just to eventually care for his own, getting clean cause of his other gf od'ing. All those scenes are just thrown out the window here and for what? Am I the only person who feels like this?

    To ‘hajiilee is probably one of my least favorite cliff hangers of all time. Especially knowing what happens next episode. When using a cliff hanger, you typically want to stop right before a major event or during suspension. (A.K.A the entire episode after it.) The timing of the cliff hanger in this episode always felt off to me, especially in the middle of a gun fight. In my opinion, having Jack towering over Hank laying in the sand with Walt’s distance screams coming from the car would’ve been probably the highlight of the series. The screen would cut to black and Walt’s screams of uncertainty and fear would slowly fade into the silent credits rolling.
