Breaking Bad Season 2 Finale Episode 13: ABQ

Breaking Bad Season 2 Finale Episode 13: ABQ

In an earlier post about Breaking Bad, i'd mentioned that the show doesn't sugar coat the world of meth and it's fallout. Boy was that assessment ever proven accurate in the season 2 finale, ep 13:ABQ.

i'm pretty much going to thumbnail my take on this ep because it has an encore airing following the date of this post and i don't want to do spoilers.

i think it's a safe bet that anyone who is a fan of the late John Belushi will have the same reflexive response i did while watching this ep---yelling at tv---"speedballs kill". O.K. technically a speedball is a combination of cocaine and heroin, not meth and heroin, but that definition would be splitting hairs, since the rush of combining two powerful antithetical drugs is the objective. And of course the danger increases with the substitution of meth because it has a bolder kick than cocaine. Also if one has built up a tolerance for the drug(s) the likelihood of overdosing increases. Chemical reaction will not be denied. Kudos to Breaking Bad for letting the audience know "that's the double-truth ruth"*
