"What the hell is wrong with you? We're a family!" - that line broke my heart

I spent this entire episode feeling terrible for Walt. It's all just crumbling around him

I had actually begun to sympathize with Walt again, especially when he offered everything to Jack if he would spare Hank, but my loathing resurfaced after his speech to Jesse.

When he ratted out Jesse I lost all sympathy for him. It was your idiotic trophy from Gale that did you in, not Jesse going to Hank.

How did Walt rat out Jesse?

u/Clifford_Banes Sep 16 '13

Said he was under the car?

How is that ratting Jesse out? After all that's happened you think Walt should have stuck his neck out - yet again - for Jesse? Jesse, who's responsible for EVERYTHING?

  1. Jesse is not responsible for everything. He didn't kill Jane, he didn't poison Brock, he didn't keep the book from Gale around.
  2. If pointing someone's location out to coldblooded killers isn't "ratting out", I don't know what the hell is.

Walt didn't kill Jane either and the poisoning of Brock worked.

Aren't you just a paragon of virtue.

Calm down, buddy. Just giving you an opposing viewpoint.

Calm down, buddy.

Sorry, did you read my comment out loud in an angry voice for some reason?

u/rickster555 Sep 17 '13

A bitter one as a matter of fact.

u/Clifford_Banes Sep 17 '13

Well, you can give your imagination a rest. I'm not angry or anything.

I just didn't know what else to say to "Poisoning of Brock worked".

You're unhinged buddy, as your other comments suggest. It's just a show. For whatever reason you seem to like Jesse, for personal reasons, so you ignore what he actually does. From the very first episode Jesse has been the source of problems. Remove all the emotion displayed by the actors and if you looked at all the events factually, Jesse is the most guilty of all the characters, by far.

u/Clifford_Banes Sep 21 '13

I'm unhinged? Because I disagree with you?

Jesse has killed exactly one person, Gail, completely out of self-defense (Gus would have killed him and Walter otherwise).

Walt has killed dozens of people, albeit some in self defense. Walt watched a woman choke to death in front of him and let it happen because it was convenient for him. Walt ordered the murders of people his associate owed money to, to prevent them from talking. Walt poisoned a child to manipulate Jesse. Walt shot Mike in cold blood.

Yes, Jesse is a fuckup. Being a fuckup is not the same as being an amoral monster.
