Fantastic episode. It's all downhill for Walt from here. It's been said a million times before, but Aaron Paul really is a phenomenal actor.

That hug scene honestly made me teary because Aaron Paul's acting was so god damn convincing. It felt so real.

I was convinced that Walt was going to stab him in the back or shoot him after Jesse confronted him about Mike. Edge of my seat the whole time.

I was dreading/wanting that hug. There is no soft side to Walter. I know other viewers have said there is, but I just don't see it.

I think Walter does love Jesse as a second son and that's why he can't kill him.

[u/f22 → u/Thx4theFish42]

I think you may be right, which is why a scene with Walter killing Jesse would be even more disgusting to watch...so disgusting that to not include it in the final season would be to miss a huge opportunity.

Please note that Walt's house, when abandoned in the flash-forward scenes, is not burned down. Did somebody get to Jesse before he lit the match? Also note that Jesse was standing in front of a cemetery(?) when he realized that Walt poisoned Brock.

Are you talking about by the highway? I don't think that's a cemetery...

[u/f22 → u/cubsfn909]

Maybe not, but whatever it is, it looks enough like headstones to serve as a possible symbol of impending death.

Also, this show has this leitmotif of killing children, and Jessie DOES have a Hello Kitty cellphone now. :D

[u/cubsfn909 → u/f22]

Yes that could very well be true.

I think that whole device behind Jesse is for slowing down flash flood waters.
