What`s the deal with the name Flynn? did he really change his name? does anyone else finds it extremely low of him to do so?

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
Are you marathoning the series for the first time or did you just forget that part?
He changed his name to have his own identity apart from Walt. I think it was when he was pissed that his dad wasn't being honest with the family and his lies were getting a bit out of hand, circa season 2. It wasn't a legal change, just what he asked to be called by friends and family.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Yeah but, how many people ask to be called a different name when theyre upset at their father.

The same person who lies to the cops and about his father pulling a knife on his mother.
You take apples and oranges to a completely new level.

He's also a teenager so he's naturally rebellious. Most teens smoke or drink (which Walt Jr. also tries). But finding out your father may die soon and then the feeling that he's lying or not being himself can also push a son to want to rebel or act out.

Yes, i completely understand and accept teenage rebellion, but I just think this choice was way too harsh, changing the name itself is not the issue, but the fact that they share the same name and jr. casuallly dissmised it seems like a direct hit at walt, I mean, his father is dying of cancer and clearly going on a bad time (understandably so) and jr. just metaphorically slaps walter, couldnt he like... buy a lot of Linkin Park cds? paint his hair green? get a piercing?

I think there's some psychology behind it but sometimes kids subconsciously (and unfairly) blame the parent in situations where a parent might be leaving. It might have to do with a sense of abandonment. Add in the teen rebellion, his already tenuous sense of self because of the CP, and the feeling that Walt is not being honest to his family. That should be enough to excuse what is a pretty mean thing to do to your dying father. But he does change it back eventually once the family splits in season 3.

I think this argument is moot and nonsensical for two reasons:
1) Isn't Flynn like mentally retarded? Kind of like asking why a retarded person likes to stick crayons in their nose..
2) His rebellion started long before he changed his name. It started when he was breaking bad.

Look up cerebral palsy before grouping all handicapped people as mentally retarded.

I get the feeling he's being facetious.
First it was just some adolescent rebellion of wanting to be "his own man" but by the end even Skyler was using it. It was a sign of their whole family wanting to distance themselves from Walter.
Better call Saul, begins in november.

Not sure if the Saul spinoff is a good idea or not. I always felt he was comedic relief on BB, so will this new show be a comedy or a drama? I guess they could make it a lawyer show with new cases each episode (Fox has a new sleazy lawyer show called Rake, which might be them trying to get the jump on AMC) or another extended caper series like BB was.
