"It can be confusing when exactly no one in a narrative occupies the high ground."
That was basically my opinion of BREAKING BAD, that nobody was pure of character. In fact I didn't want to watch Breaking Bad because we're conditioned to bond with the protagonist, and I did not want to bond with someone who purposely chooses evil. I didn't want to root for the dealer of death to avoid detection. I feared it might poison my soul. But my friend Aaron so wanted me to watch the show that he sent me the first season on DVD, and once I watched it I was committed. Cautious, but definitely committed.
But in the end, the best I could say was BB served as a cautionary tale about allowing evil into your life. I'll never watch the series again, and because BETTER CALL SAUL is a spinoff, I'll never watch that, either.
Re #12- The American Dream. Yes. I have 2 people who fall into that category. A sister and nephew. I'm normally not a vindictive or cruel person, but every time the Mega Millions Lotto hits around a billion, I toss in a few bucks in hopes...

I'll admit that I loved the magnets scene:

But that's just me.
