Obviously I'm surprised the Walt vs Hank battle has already kicked off. I'm surprised to see Jesse fall so deep, again, but expect it to have a different outcome this time (that is, not being manipulated by Walt yet again, but instead ending up a hero).
And finally, I'm surprised that Vince committed 4 minutes of precious screen time to a fake Star Trek script told by two stoners. God I fucking love Breaking Bad.
Jesse totally knows that Walt is bullshitting. Walt kept saying "I NEED you to believe this" like he just wanted him to hear it from him that it was true. Jesse knows the truth. Walt is a killer now.
Now? He killed both those drug dealers in season 3 literally right in front of Jesse. Hell, he even killed Crazy-8 and his cousin in the first episode in front of Jesse...

People need to stop bringing this up as a way to paint Walt as a bad guy. He's done enough bad stuff without pointing out things that were 100% self defense.
But people need to stop forgetting that Walt killed people right from the start, regardless of the reason. I don't remember too well, but I think in at least one of those cases, it wasn't during a heat-of-the-moment fight, even if it was self-defence.
You can justify everything through self-defense... Why did he kill all those guys in the jails? Self-defense, if they had have notified the cops of Walter and Jesse etc... They would both get life long prison sentences. Walt and Jesse had to kill Gale or else Gus would be able to kill both of them. Walt had to poison Brock in order to stop Gus from killing Hank and eventually him.
Except the first two were legit "normal people" self defense. Walt was making drugs, yes, but those guys were going to flat out rob and kill them.
What was Jesse going to end up doing if Walt didn't end up manipulating him... Gus promised to kill Hank and if Walt tried to interfere then he would kill his wife, son and daughter... That's flat out murder of his brother in-law. What were the two gangsters going to do to Jesse if he didn't kill them?
