如何理解《絕命毒師》里的輪迴、巧合？

比如小粉紅遇到殺了康寶的托馬斯的媽媽；老白遇到jean的爸爸…

僅針對貫穿第二季的空難這一「巧合」講講自己的看法。

空難前後一系列事的發生雖然看上去像是老天安排的、宿命般的巧合，實際上卻是老白自己的行為造成的直接後果。

對此，神編劇Vince Gilligan在訪談中也曾講到：

And it could seem like a deus ex machina moment, but of course Walt has created that moment by letting Jane die and sending her father over the edge.
In that moment, at the end of season two, he doesn"t realize it, but he"s responsible for the whole world figuratively coming to an end around him. It"s notdeus ex machina, there"s another term we were talking about, Lucifer ex machina, "Devil from the machine" -- it"s the opposite. It almost could feel kind of random, but it"s not. It"s a butterfly effect. All these gears have been turning, this particular outcome was stuff Walt put into motion a long time ago by choosing to cook crystal meth.

因果報應是人無法逃出的，有些事看似是巧合，其實「因」的種子早早就中下了。人們以為是巧合只是因為他們沒有看到各中關聯。而空難這場「巧合」的悲劇正是老白一路以來做的各種決定連鎖反應產生的結果，是他一手釀成的。

人每做一個決定都會產生隨之而來的consequence，表面上的小概率事件實際上都是必然結果。這是Breaking Bad一直回歸的一個主題。

老白總是篤信自己預料到了一切可能性，掌控得了自己的命運，大多數時候也確實能憑藉運氣和主角光環化險為夷。但這些補救、對策都是暫時的，終究有些他忽略了的因素會在最後關頭壞他的事。

到底還是機關算盡了，這正是老白這個角色悲劇所在。

如果我說這是命運，算不算不認真的回答？

實際上，那個是托馬斯的姊姊
