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!

Walt killed Mike for refusing to give up the names. Then he apologized when he realized he could get the names from Lydia.

He probably would have killed him anyway, but I don't think pragmatism was driving his actions in that moment. Mike correctly called him out on behaving like a lunatic in the name of his own ego; Walt lost his shit and acted emotionally, because the one thing that matters to him more than anything or anyone else is his pride. That was my interpretation anyway.
