2.5: "Breakage" - The Cost of Doing Business

AMC has come with an interactive graphic novel game called 
This is a story about how Denisa tried to play it. Ha ha..

It is dedicated to Jesse to give us a chance to identify with him. In later episodes, he shows quite some interest and skill in playing digital games so maybe this is supposed to get us close to him through this multi level shared experience: 

  • a) you try on his character and have to make decision for him/yourself; and
  • b) you play a game within this game - while still being Jesse and then have to deal with the consequences of whether you won or lost.
So yeah, too bad I lost and always made the wrong decision...
The only place I felt comfortable, by the way, was the Crystal Palace parking lot, where I/Jesse flirted with the prostitute.

Maybe I shouldn't broadcast that on a public blog...

Anyway, I felt this episode's story quite matching with the title of the game. Same with the title of this song that plays during the meth-slinging montage.

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.
