Thoughts on breakfasts in Breaking Bad:

  • Just a couple of slices of veggie bacon in the pilot episode reveal the pecking order in the White family: controlling and slightly annoying Skylar, Walter, suppressing himself on every level imaginable, and finally the junior who, at least according to some posts on AMC's forum mostly suffers from lack of purpose. 
  •  But I do appreciate this combination of fan enthusiasm and weakness for food:

  • Desperate pancakes in 2.4 "Down": Walt tries a bit too hard, cooks breakfast for the family and then he and Skylar swap roles. She takes off and lets him wonder all day where the hell she might be.
  • 2.10 "Over" is a "morning" episode. Walt should be starting a new life after surviving cancer (and Tuco.. and those four days in the desert..) but instead goes through mental and alcoholic hangover  and no matter how much he tries to fix the leakage and stop the rot, it will eat its way through to the end of a happy household. 
  • Jesse, on the other hand, starts his day in his beautiful apartment with his beautiful new love (and a 1.2 mega worth of blue meth in the kitchen cabinet.) He devotes himself to Jane who helps him re-discover his cute superpowers such as cooking - Huevos Rancheros.

About Apology Girl

Apology Girl is mad about Breaking Bad. She's mad about the plot, the cast, the aesthetics, the locations, the music, the western-movie feel, the creators' attention to detail and the amount of space this show leaves for fans to interpret, elaborate and contribute. She loves to analyze the form, content and context of the show and likes to listen to podcasts and watch videos that relate to the making of the show. She is also a member of various social networks and is fascinated by the fan culture's power to create so many different meanings and interpretations of one good TVshow.
