in later years


Do you think Skyler and Flynn ever softened in later years and found sympathy for Walt?

Their reactions at the time are completely understandable, but those were their gut-wrench reactions. Walt certainly did awful, unforgivable things. But, people tend to be gray, not all-good, not all-bad. I just can't help but feel that at a later point, they might think "He wasn't entirely bad, the early days, those were good and that's still true, and yes, he did awful terrible things, but in the beginning of that rabbit hole, his intentions were good."

I kind of wonder if Better Call Saul will surpass Breaking Bad's story and kind of jump into the future. If so, maybe we'll see these characters again, even briefly, like in a quick under-the-table meeting with Saul or something, at which point maybe we'd learn a bit about how they're then feeling about Walt. Maybe not, maybe it would be too much and feel gratuitous, but just a thought I had.

Yes....I'd think as time went by they'd come to have more sympathy for him (in an "Okay, let's meet for coffee" sort of way.) Especially as they reflect on how he thought he was dying at the beginning, when he formulated his plan.

If he'd caused his little girl to die or something like that, it would be a wound that never healed. But it didn't get that bad, right?

(I'm getting fuzzy on what the final crisis was...that drug lords were after the family?)
