Ten, counting the lawyer. 66 00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:40,293 So, what, am I not tying up loose ends for our mutual benefit? 67 00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:43,296 You're tying up loose ends, and I don't wanna be one of them. 68 00:07:43,463 --> 00:07:45,674 I give you that list, I've served my purpose. 69 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,343 Then maybe I'm just one more person who knows too much. 70 00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:53,848 So you put that list in my hands, and in your mind... 71 00:07:54,015 --> 00:07:58,645 ...I immediately just murder you, just right here in this restaurant? 72 00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:02,399 -No. Not right here.

It tells the story of the rise and fall of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a mild-mannered chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin. He turns to a life of crime after having been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he sees meth manufacturing as the most lucrative way to provide for his family. It has been nearly a decade since the series finale, yet it endures through sequel films, spin-offs, and online streaming. My thesis investigates the series’ staying power, and I would argue that lies in its thematic content. Breaking Bad is not just a straightforward story of one man’s descent into a life of crime, but it is also a mediation on dominant, repressive power structures. The series offers a look at these structures through the lens of race, gender, and disability through the actions of characters and their interactions with one another.

Sarma* INTRODUCTION What if federal authorities captured Walter White? Considering that he committed the murders of many individuals and orchestrated many more in the course of building and running his global meth trade, the prosecution would be able to seek the ultimate punishment against him. But, would a jury give him the death penalty? Walter’s gripping journey stirred within viewers a range of complex emotions, but even those re- volted by his actions must concede that it is extraordinarily difficult to envision a random collection of twelve people unanimously agreeing that he deserves a state-sanctioned execution. Indeed, it seems that many of us actually rooted for Walter throughout the series, even when we strug- gled to understand why. This Essay explores the answer to the question of why we would spare Walter White from the death penalty.

  • Recovering Lost Moral Ground: Can Walt Make Amends?

    Recovering Lost Moral Ground: Can Walt Make Amends?

    CHAPTER 10 Recovering Lost Moral Ground: Can Walt Make Amends? James Edwin Mahon and Joseph Mahon Is it possible to recover lost moral ground? In the closing episodes of Breaking Bad it becomes clear that Walter White believes that the correct answer to this question is an affi rmative one. Walt believes that he can, and that he has, recov- ered lost moral ground. Breaking Bad may be said to explore two distinct and incompatible ways of attempting to recover lost moral ground. The fi rst way is revisionist . This is to rewrite the script of what, morally speaking, has occurred, so that it appears that nothing wrong was done. Since no moral ground has been lost, there is no moral ground to recover. The second way is restorative . This is to admit to morally wrongful behavior, but to attempt to make amends for it. While we concede that it is possible to recover lost moral ground in both of these ways, we deny that Walt is able to do so in both of these ways. At best, Walt can only hope to recover lost moral ground by attempting to make amends for his past misdeeds. Before looking at these two kinds of attempts to recover lost moral ground in Walt’s case, however, two defenses against accusations of moral wrongdoing will fi rst be considered, since Walt also avails of these defenses. The fi rst is the justifi catory defense, that of seeking to justify the moral wrongdoing, so that it is no longer morally wrong. The second is the mitigatory defense, that of seek- ing to excuse the moral wrongdoing, so that the person is no longer respon- sible for the moral wrongdoing.
