remarks about TV, both the what and why

Walter’s Last Battle

Posted on Posted in as written, on TVTagged ,

In two weeks you will know.
Why does he have a machine gun and boxes of ammo? Why did he return from the ‘free state?’ If there is a choice in the slogan, “live free or die,” and he has chosen to leave his freedom, doesn’t that mean he has chosen?
From the myth of Sisyphus, or is it a dung beetle, to this final family reunion; he returns to die. He returns to save his family; the only family remaining.

He returns to free Pinkman from his slavery.

But, will Jessie and his family live? Will they inherit the remaining fortune, or will they leave it rotting; lost; forgotten, other than in myth.

“People want more. It is a genetic program. If you have enough, you want something esle…”

So goes the pitch made in Dollhouse premier. But it isn’t proven, though it is certainly tested, therefore, it is false. The viewers, and acolytes will repeat it by remembering the statement as factual. They won’t remember that it was a TV writer that had someone tell them this.
