  That was my problem with the show too.

  Smart person decides to cook meth…

  Step 1: Partner with complete dipshit

  Step 2:

  Step 3: Profit

  It’s not hard to cook meth especially if you have a science background.

  EVERYTHING in the show is there to make cooking meth harder because if it wasn’t hard it would be a completely boring story.

    The reason Smart Person needed to partner up with Complete Dipshit is because he needed Complete Dipshit’s underground connections to 1) acquire some controlled substances using less than legal methods, and 2) to sell what he’s cooked up. Jesse wasn’t there to help with manufacturing, he was there to help with logistics. Walter couldn’t have done those on his own because not even the best chemistry departments at the bestest universities teach you how to steal precursor drugs or cold call psychotic drug lords for exciting new business opportunities.

      You’re telling me that it is a requirement to be a Complete Dipshit to have underground connections?

      I get that is how the show sold it and I guess you believed it

      There’s just no way for Walt to become Heizenberg without Complete Dipshit

      Let’s just ignore the fact that the writer planned the Complete Dipshit to die a handful of episodes into the series

      Again, EVERYTHING in the show is designed to make cooking/distributing meth challenging. They had to make Complete Dipshit useful because he “had” to be in the story.
