Comment on Breaking: BAD
herrvogel@lemmy.world 9 hours agoThe 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.
