Motivation for Pushing the limits

Motivation for pushing the limits

This is the seventh and final episode of Breaking Bad Season one and I think this one is the most revealing of his character yet! This show starts off reviewing the theft at the school, while hearing them read off the allegations and what is missing Skylar and Walt start acting sexually. Than have sex after the meeting in his car. Than they go to the doctor to talk about his improvements and progress during treatment. After the baby shower he decides to tell Skylar a lie about going to alternative medicine facility, but is really going to make Meth. He leaves for his weekend and meets up with Jesse. Finding out that one important ingredient is missing and they need that ingredient to cook and the RV is not working, so they decide to steal the ingredient and cook in the basement. They cook in the basement and also successfully steal the the wrong ingredient. The Meth comes out blue. He meets the dealer's desire for four pounds of Meth. He gets the money and goes home to his wife. Mean while Skylar got accused for stealing because her sister is stealing and not recognizing it. She gets out of the accusation and pressures her sister who owns up to nothing. When Walt gets back home, they talk about the stealing and he asks what if it was me? She just jokes the question away. Than the episode ends.
I think there are some very important themes going on in this episode. Walt is flirting with power and control. The sexual scene when the episode starts shows that when he is hearing about the power he had in stealing, he is dominating and getting pleasure out of his power. He wants to steal and do more adventurous things. He is pushing the limits and like how he feels with the power and control.
In life we all don't like being out of control. We find ways to be in control, whether is not eating or not talking to someone or in control of company or breaking bad, we find away to control. We need to show a world that is trying to control, that there is a God who wants the best for us and can handle the control. He is not flirting with power. He wants the best for us. He tells us to cast our burdens on him in Matthew, and we can rest in him, and we need to show a world that does not know how to rest to be able to do this!

Wanna Cook

Wanna cook?

This has been by far my favorite episode, just because of the varying relationships and how deep the characters are getting. The episode starts out with Walt and Skylar are visiting some old friends. Walt is apprehensive in going but his wife convinces him, they have to go. After being at the party, for a while he sees his wife and Elliot talking about something. He comes to Walt later and mentions a job and Walt declines. There is a lot of past history between Elliot, and his wife who was a part of Walts past as well. Walt leaves furious that Sky would let him know their business. Than relationships in the household get strained. The son try's to buy alcohol and gets call and calls the uncle because his family is not trust worthy right now. They are all trying to protect Walt. The end scene is the family finally having a meeting and intervention. Finally Walt speaks up for himself and say he wants to basically die.

He does not like help and does not like showing that he is weak. He finally gets some treatment and than decides he wants to cook again with Jesse.

Jessie's condition is improving. In the beginning is trying to get a job and get out but his past keeps pulling him back in.

Walt needs to control, when his life is completely out of control. That seems like why he is going back to cooking. I the end Jesse is left to decide is he wants to be partners with Walt again.

Sometimes when life is hard, we will do anything to feel like we are in control. I know that happens in my life. We need to let a world with struggle and trying to get control, that there is a God who will help, who can save them from there chaos.
