    You’re telling me that it is a requirement to be a Complete Dipshit to have underground connections?

    I get that is how the show sold it and I guess you believed it

    There’s just no way for Walt to become Heizenberg without Complete Dipshit

    Let’s just ignore the fact that the writer planned the Complete Dipshit to die a handful of episodes into the series

    Again, EVERYTHING in the show is designed to make cooking/distributing meth challenging. They had to make Complete Dipshit useful because he “had” to be in the story.

      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?
