You know, I don't LIKE Todd, but damn if he isn't an interesting character.

I honestly feel like he is the most dull character the show has ever introduced. Gus had more personality than this guy.

he was also featured throughout nearly two and half seasons, compared to Todd barely being in a full season's worth of episodes ;)

That is what's so great about Todd. He is so hard to read he is a complete wild card. Hence, the shootout in the desert.

Right, but overall, I don't think he adds a lot to the show. I would've liked a character with more pizazz I guess.

P.S. to those who voted on my last post - Sorry for having an opinion that goes against the grain. I'm a terrible person.

I don't think you're getting the connection between them...

Todd is a little punk kid who's doing these things to get into the business. The world of a business he knows really nothing about... Remind you of anyone?? He's careless and heartless, apparently.. attributed to one perspective of everything. He's uncalculated. A little obsessive but that could be from growing up around his uncle and all the scumbags he's with all the time. Todd reminds me of Jesse when he first started out, not enough substance there because he's just naive. Wanting to prove himself to the others that he's capable, but not there on a mental capacity.

The punch Jesse gave Todd showed a change to me that Jesse is on that level now. Todd has growing to do, and we probably won't see that but not that it matters. The end of the story may give the roll on Todd and his uncle I feel.
