    Its not a requirement to be a complete dipshit to have underground connections. But the one complete dipshit that Walter knew did have those underground connections, so he probably didn’t think to keep looking for someone else. Walter was a high school science teacher with no friends, how would he have gone about looking for someone to sell meth for him?

      “The story happened that way so that’s the only way it could have happened”

      Walter was a high school science teacher with no friends, how would he have gone about looking for someone to sell meth for him?

      Once again everything is stacked against Walt. Always another road block. Episode after episode.

      They had to give him a complete dipshit to work with because a semi-competent person he knew would have been a “boring” story.

      Maybe show interest in the DEA and ride around with his brother-in-law to secretly collect intel. Ends up getting a job for the DEA but basically an inside guy.

      Let me go find the drop out high school student I knew and cook meth in an RV. Is definitely not a thing an intelligent person would choose to do. Sure if they are forced to like in the story, but that doesn’t make it right or enjoyable.
