Genius move on Gilligan's part to make a "drug" drama centered on an everyman Chem HS teacher. Much easier for viewers to identify with Walt and his various moral choices than Tony Montana, or your garden variety movie drug kingpin. Even more interesting is Walt's fascination/loathing of what he's gotten himself into. Bravado fueled by possible cancer death sentence, or unleashing his inner man via being naughty? I wish I still had some notes from my Paradise Lost classics course back in college, seems like Gilligan might be referencing some of those themes here. Curious if you are aware if he's ever made that acknowledgement? Good recap. I'm about 3/4 thru season 3, interested to see what you two have to say about my favorite sharkskin suit stylin', pimp boot wearin', nearly mute, assassin brothers.WordyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765877609855966115noreply@blogger.com
