Eggvolution: something I noticed that I thought was cool (and probably a lot of other people noticed).
I loved how the breakfast plate showed the inverse relationship between the “love” that goes into food and the “aesthetic/taste” that goes into food.
Plate 1: Vegan bacon is ass, but Skylar makes it with love so Walter can be healthy. It looks like cardboard but it’s made with genuine love.
Plate 2: It’s not vegan bacon but still Skylar cooked it for him, even though she is furious with Walter. It looks (and probably tastes) better than Plate 1, but it lacks the care and love that Skylar originally had for Walt.
Plate 3: Dennys. Probably tastes the best but there’s no love in it. Walt himself has to break the bacon to show the “52”. He lost the love his family had, and even though the food probably tastes the best, he can’t even eat it.
Maybe I’m looking too much into it, but I just love symbolism in this show SO much 🥲
