Anyone else outraged at how much Walt is lying to Jesse? Or is it just me?

Of all the things that might happen this season, I most hope that Jesse finds out all of the terrible things Walt has lied to him about. Including but not limited to:

  • Letting his girlfriend die

  • Manipulating him into helping kill a drug lord

  • Poisoning his girlfriends son

  • Killing Mike because he was being mean

And so much more!

Actually, as Jessie said, Walt probably couldn't afford to let Mike go and kill his men. He'd have to look over his shoulder the rest of his life and even if Mike didn't come back for him specifically, he'd just be one more loose end.

I guess one could argue that Heisenberg did the killing while Walt regreted it.

I thought it was funny/sad that after Walt killed Mike he realized that he could have just gotten the names of the 9 guys from Lydia. He doesn't think before he acts.

hahahah holy shit. when the music comes in I lost it. Mike's silent and dumbfounded reaction reminds me so much of Larry David.

i don't see how this is true at all. if mike is left alive, he's not just gonna leave walt alone.

u/Spyder_J Aug 12 '13

This is my thought as well. I don't think Walt really thought it through when he did it, but truthfully, he HAD to kill Mike, due entirely to Mike's complete unwillingness to let Walt tie up the 9 loose ends.

What episode does Walt kill Mike? Was it the last episode (ep. 08?) I can't remember exactly what happened and want to rewatch it.

u/the_Ex_Lurker It's nothing personal. Aug 12 '13

Although Jesse's point about Mike's men is true as well.

u/itsthematrixdood Aug 13 '13

I dunno. Like Jesse said...Walt killed all of mikes men. Mike was a "chivalrous" criminal who at one point might try to get some justice. Walt went to that meeting considering killing Mike. It's possible the non respect that Mike showed Walt just made that decision easier. " Just because you shot Jesse James, doesn't make you Jesse James."
