1. Breaking Bad
Remember whatever we do or have done...we do it for the best reason of all, the only reason..family. - Walt to Skylar
I think that's the quote. Never been great at remembering quotes. You should see me with lyrics.
The quote made me think of Macbeth, although no such quote exists in that wonderful play. I have my favorites amongst the Shakespearean plays and MacBeth is one, still considering seeing Cummings one man show.
Ah, Walt, you seem to have lost your conscience somewhere admist the justifications.
And what you did to Jesse....I was afraid you'd done last year and prayed you hadn't. For it may well be your most unforgivable act. ( spoilers for S5 episode 2 )
Sigh, clearly I turned a corner somewhere along the way and decided Breaking Bad was worth blogging about. I don't blog about everything I watch or read, seriously who has the time?
2. Regarding the analysis and meta and discussion of cultural media, I've decided part of the problem with discourse is how we differently we are viewing or analyzing the media. Realized this when I was discussing characters and how people idealize them or "woobiefy" with selenak, and when I was reading a thread on Mark Watches...where the commentators were bemoaning the fact that people aren't interpreting the series through the sociological lense or seemed blatantly unaware of the sociological issues at play here..or were simply romanticizing (woobiefying) a nasty character without noticing how horrible the character's actions were.
And I thought, well, not everyone analyzes or views things through the same lense or pair of glasses. Some of us wear bifocals, some tri-focals, some reading glasses, some contacts, and some thick glasses.( Read more... )
