The True Death of Walter White
The True Death of Walter White
While many viewers of Breaking Bad were content with the ending of the show and moved on smoothy, I was one of another many who couldnt get rid of a feeling that something was missing. However, it pleases me to say that something has been found.
While rewatching the series I noticed something that by now has been discovered by many other people. Walt truly died in the Volvo in New Hampshire after leaving the bar where he called from. The show after that point was all just Walters dream. The ending he wanted.
It all begins, or should I say ‘truly ends, with Walt reclining in the seat in the Volvo. Here is where he gives in to the cancer. Afterwards the keys fall into his lap and hes off. Its obvious that the events after that are unreal. The police surrounding Walts New Hampshire house couldnt have possibly missed the footprints in the snow leading to the Volvo, or the snow on the car being disrupted from him opening the door.
One of the first stops Walt makes in at the Schwartz residence. Here he acts an awful lot like Mike on one of his assassination missions. This whole scene is full of odd features just like the rest of the season. Is it really logical that the Schwartz residence is so loosely guarded? People of their wealth would at least have automated locks and wouldnt just leave doors open. The amount of control Walt has in this situation and many others also raises an eyebrow. Not to forget how helpless the Schwartzs acted. After they fell for the ‘do what I want or youll be sorry” bid, they do nothing at all to ensure their safety. If I had millions of dollars I would at least have a panic room or something, to keep me safe while I made a call for my rescue. Another interesting bit in this scene is how easily Walt was able to track down Jesses friends, Badger and Pete, and convince them to help him out. These two are trying to stay off the radar and yet they help
the most wanted man in America. Seems a little fishy.
After Walt swings by the Schwartz household for a friendly meeting, he makes several stops in and around Albuquerque without encountering any law enforcement. Sure, he grew a some hair so he looks a little different, but cmon. Walt stops at a diner for a birthday meal and no one in even a little suspicious? Hell, he even goes back to his house and is seen by his past neighbor and the D.E.A., A.P.D. and S.W.A.T.
