Watch Wednesday: Breaking Bad, Dexter and Pretty Little Liars



Spoilers for all three shows!

Each of these shows has had a big shocking turning point in the episodes for the week, so I will be discussing them in my post today! I know, Pretty Little Liars on the same list as the other two? I’m allowed to enjoy a guilty pleasure show, and I’m easily obsessive over television shows. I just have to know who killed Ali, and who A really is. Don’t judge until you at least watch the pilot. 

I’ll start with Breaking Bad, “Confessions” 
Poor manipulated Jesse finally gets a choice.


Breaking Bad this past Sunday made me incredibly proud of Jesse Pinkman. He deserved to know the truth about Walter, and he was able to discover it on his own. The man was so manipulated by Walt, I wasn’t sure he could ever get out of the abusive relationship. 

Unlike Skyler, who seems to have turned her abusive relationship with Walt back into one of equality. At least, that’s what I’m hoping is happening. I’m concerned about her continuing to stand by her man. I just do not trust Walt, or his decisions and I don’t understand why she still does. I understand love, but does Heisenberg really love? 

My theory with Breaking Bad is that Skyler gives up on him and that is why he is alone in the flash-forwards. OR hey, maybe Skyler has become the one in charge? She’s been smarter than him the whole time so I wouldn’t be surprised. 

Now for Dexter, “Make Your Own Kind of Music” 
I'm surprised he doesn't think JAMIE is his mom.


I’ve had a feeling we would find out who the Brain Surgeon actually was before the series end. The writers of Dexter always clue us in a few episodes early. However, I had assumed it would be Vogel’s husband, not son. But I also thought Oliver killed his girlfriend, silly me didn’t connect the two. 

But what shocked me the most in this episode was simply Dexter’s stupidity. The theme of this season is that Dexter being in two worlds is messing him up. But come on, Dex. He obviously saw you standing outside the window of the restaurant. He’s a smart guy. Dexter is too used to dealing with idiots. 

My theory for Dexter’s end died with Zachary. I was thinking that Dexter would teach him his ways and then be able to move on and have an actual life with Harrison. He cannot be a killer and a father. Every time he mentions how important Harrison is to him, I get annoyed. He abandons Harrison all the time. I want the show to end with him realizing that and realizing that Vogel got it wrong; he has emotions and he can love. He can give up killing as long as he knows someone is stopping the serial killers who get through the cracks. Which I wanted to be Zach, but that theory died…

Lastly and sort of least, the Pretty Little Liars finale “Now You See Me, Now You Don’t”


Logically explain the body or Ali better be a ghost.


EZRA. You creepy, teenage-girl-loving poetry snob. First off, I have to say, as much as Ezra is a creep, I like him with Aria WAY more than Jake. I hate all men on this show though. Expect for Caleb. Sorry Toby-lovers. Dude is not cute, and he has been incredibly stupid this past season. I understand mommy issues, but the boy should know the ways of A as well as the girls and he has continued to let A play him.

Moving on: the debate is whether Ezra follows his ex-girlfriend around or Ezra is Team A? I don’t like those odds, personally. Let’s say Ezra is just upset that A is still a threat. Then that means he is stalker. He followed Aria all the way to another city. I have to say, that’s not all that shocking considering he is in love with a girl that is his STUDENT. Now let’s say Ezra is Team A and I’m much more intrigued. That raises so many questions and it answers the ultimate question about Ezra from the pilot episode. The dude is actually a creep who likes teenage girls. 

My theories? I almost refuse to have any anymore. Too much, too complicated, too many variables. Basically I just think that the girls should bar themselves up in their rooms until college. 


Hope you enjoyed my summer watch list. It will continue next week sans PLL. Leave questions and comments! 

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here
