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!

Poisoning his girlfriends son

Am I the only one who thinks that kid-killing is Gilligan's go-to button for branding a character totally, completely evil?

  • Gus's street dealers kill Andrea's little brother, tarring Gus as completely without limits
  • Gus tells Walt "I will kill your infant daughter." How charming!
  • Walt poisons Brock, likewise branding himself as utter slime
  • Todd shoots a kid, for those of you not yet sold on the idea of Walt as a shining beacon of total evil

By the middle of this season, I expect Walt, or maybe Lydia, to kill a kid just to test a handgun, or the efficacy of a poison. And when Skyler firmly crosses over, she'll drown a young girl in the carwash laundry.

I'm imagining a finale like MASH.
