5-sentence review of Breaking Bad: Say My Name

Season 5, Episode 7: “Say My Name”

5. A tip to people who work with Walter White (Bryan Cranston): If he promises you the killing is over, someone is going to die very soon.

4. Mike (Jonathan Banks) ends up dead after yet another of Walter’s plans for peaceful, family business meth making has the unforeseen the complication of having to kill someone.

3. Walt is becoming less and less likable and more and more unhinged with each episode.

2. He’s talking about making meth the way political commercials talk about small businesses and trying to trap Jesse (Aaron Paul) into a partnership over pride in the quality of their product.

1. And maybe the whole series is a look at just how twisted the American Dream: You’ve got to be cold-blooded criminal to make any money these days.

About Daniel P. Finney

A misanthrope, iconoclast and general grouch since the late 1980s, Daniel P. Finney has been a professional paragraph stacker since 1993. He reports. He writes. He blogs. He tweets. He beats deadlines. He amuses (himself, at least.) He informs. He adapts. He keeps moving forward. He eschews gatherings. The highlights of his week are Sunday chicken wings, new comics Wednesday and naps during televised sporting events. He does not wonder if there is a player to be named later in his life and spends most of his waking hours desperately trying to be left alone.
