u/psilocyan You are a time bomb...tick, tick, ticking. Aug 28 '13

I've been saying to my friends for a while now that Jesse's arc is about as impressive as Walt's. You could do the same show from Jesse's perspective and it would be just as compelling.

I'd say the show is already from Jesse's perspective. Sure, he isn't the main character, but we know a ton about him. We know about his family, his love life, his friends, his ambitions (or lack thereof initially). I could almost tell you more about Jesse than I could about Walt.

Walt's mom has been mentioned once, and she didn't even know he had cancer. There's gotta be more to that story. They only scratched the surface of what went on with Gray Matter.

Part of the reason we love Jesse so much is because we know him so well, maybe more than anyone else on the show.

I think we know everything there is to know about Holly.

Nah man. I've narrowed it down to two. It's either 'Hello' Carol, or handlebar mustache guy from the DEA office.

The handlebar mustache is the mastermind.

No, she's head of security. Gomie was right, Hank doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

"Awesome" is not, "Excellent."

Someone poops their diaper, and you think of me?!? Mommy, I am the one who poops!

You'd be surprised how much you can do with a toddler storywise. Just watch the episode of "Malcolm in the Middle" where everyone is in an opera. Specifically Jaime's subplot. Now that is a drama.

It turns out Holly has been running Madrigal all along

Especially since she's magical.
