i didnt really like it. it felt pointless.[Link to spoiler] badger and skinny pete are such good friends and it was nice seeing krysten for the 2 seconds. glad lydia's still alive . walt remains a dick. creepy todd remains creepy af.
it was VERY noticeable how different aaron looks now.

It's funny you say that, because I thought Aaron looked alright. I mean, Skinny Pete looked noticeably worse but you could easily attribute that to the drugs (within the story). By far the person who looked the worst to me and it was awkward because all his scenes were flashbacks was Meth Damon. He was so noticeably bigger that I commented to my husband that I was surprised that they either didn't request/require him to lose weight or work some CGI magic.

Oh for sure him too. It was a lot. They could've done something. Even strategic dressing and angles idk. His poor cleaning lady.

Yes! There was one shot that was just an awkward angle from below and you could see Todd's gut hanging over his pants under his shirt....it was definitely not a good look.

Meth Damon's new look/weight was jarring! I also noticed Badger was thinner but it wasn't drastic. Seeking Skinny Pete without a beanie on was also a trip.

Totally agree about Skinny Pete - I don't remember ever seeing him without the beanie. It was honestly great to see him be the Man with the Plan.

I mean, we all knew he'd gotten bigger since BB, but to see it on screen and in flashbacks was wild lol

[Spoiler (click to open)]Lydia's still alive, but the implication was that she wouldn't be alive for much longer.

I believe the reporter on the radio said that Lydia “wasn’t expected to survive”, so ya she’s toast.

I liked that they threw in a Walt and Jesse flashback for old times sake, but yeah I thought it was distractingly obvious that it was a 40 year old actor who could no longer pull off playing someone in his 20’s. Same with the scene with Mike where I think that Mike even calls Jesse a teenager at one point?? It was definitely a bit jarring when you look at the actors appearance

Bryan Cranston is at an age where his appearance never seems to change all that much, whereas Aaron Paul went through so many different looks over the course of BB. Actually, at the risk of being rude lol, I always found it distracting how well fed and round his face looked at a time when he was supposedly being kept as a starving slave. They pushed that home in the movie as well when he’s gulping down food at Badger’s and Skinny Pete like he hasn’t eaten properly in ages, but it doesn’t really work when the actor isn’t his skinny younger self any more
