![]() ![]() It is a long, twisted journey into really dark corners and dark materials. It’s a character drama in the great tradition of Breaking Bad, and it isn’t what it appears to be on the surface. They can look forward to dark and strange. What can fans look forward to in your upcoming show, Flesh and Bone? My Wonder Twin Rian - he is my partner in crime and just as responsible for “Ozymandias” in my mind. It was interesting to have those two moments. Hank dies, and Jesse dies to a certain degree. To come to it in “Ozymandias” and have him say it out of vile hatred - he basically murders him in that scene. He would have said it out of profound guilt and shame and self-recrimination. ![]() It was kind of great that I got to dance to the edge of him saying it in “Fly,” and he would have said it for entirely different reasons back then. You worked with director Rian Johnson on this as well as “Fly,” where you flirted with Walt admitting his role in Jane’s death. It is just destroying him to say these things, and he has to. And then we are privileged to see how saying these things is breaking his heart. It was because some of what he was saying is true, and then he crosses a line that he has never crossed before with the insult. The audience doesn’t realize what he is doing until a ways into the conversation. He’s communicating with Skyler to let her know that he’s trying to protect her and within that conversation she has to come to that understanding. He says these heinous things and it’s hard to know what’s true and what isn’t. I think the hardest thing to write, if I had to pick, would be the phone call with Walt and Skyler ( Anna Gunn). Also the moment we’d been waiting for, when Walt ( Bryan Cranston) finally says, “I watched Jane die” and the remorseless way he says it, and the utter devastation for Jesse ( Aaron Paul). Walt’s willingness to give up all the money - the raison d’etre for everything he’d done in the past year. ![]() Hank’s ( Dean Norris) death and Walt’s reaction.

Very much so - just to tie him up like a dog and have his spirit just broken, there really was nothing left to live for. ![]() Pretty much everything that every character had been dreading happened. What was it like when the episode finally aired and viewers were going crazy? Reviews Breaking Bad A Ozymandias Episode 14 Last week’s episode was a Leone movie, I saw someone remark on Twitteroutsized drama, heightened style, breathless suspense, posturing galore. These plot points added up in my episode. We know in advance the order of the rotation of the writers and then we break the story. They are shaped somewhat like footprints as a potential nod to a separate finding of Ramses' feet, but more importantly, those spots contain the bodies of Hank and Gomez and thus a piece of Walt's kingdom that has been lost to the sand.Vince Gilligan and most fans agree this was the best Breaking Bad episode ever. Later, when Jack unearths and steals all but one of Walt's barrels of money and allows him to drive away, Walt looks back upon two pieces of disturbed sand in the rearview mirror. This visual parallel indicates that with the death of Hank, Walt's carefully crafted empire has finally begun to crumble. At the risk of pointing out the obvious, they are also each surrounded by the jagged rocks, trees, and sand of the desert landscape. The sight of him lying there greatly resembles the posture of the fallen statue of Ramses, down to the color of Walt's jacket matching the shade of sand and the positioning of his hands behind his back, bound with cuffs, resembling the shape of the broken statue. Then, after Hank is shot by Jack, Walt falls to the ground in shock and lands head down in the sand. And Shelley's version of "Ozymandias" isn't the only one that reflects upon the discovery of Ramses' broken legacy and thus bears some symbolism for the story in Breaking Bad. Ramses II was known for engaging in several expansion and reclamation wars, launching a prolific building program for new temples and cities, and for putting his face on many, many statues, including one which was found toppled in ruins in 1817 and inspired Shelley's poem. Scholars have long interpreted that the poem speaks to the fragility of life and the inability for even the most accomplished and self-aggrandizing ruler to preserve himself from the inevitable erasure of time. The lone and level sands stretch far away. Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,Īnd wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone ![]()
