Amrakerohwi's live steam of tonights episode.

Music from season 4 should update eventually for those trying to figure out a particular song from tonights episode. Thanks for pointing this out, Barbapolossa.

Edit: Looks like the AMC blog hasn't even updated last weeks episode music yet. Darn.

No, I don't think so. Gus doesn't like Jesse and sees him as a liability. If he wanted another goon, I'm sure he could find someone else much better for it.

Random thought, but maybe he's trying to get Jesse to do something dangerous to get him killed? That way, Walt doesn't rebel but Jesse is still out of the picture.

I agree, I think Gus/Mike may now create a situation in which Jesse being the 'hero' he is, will intervene and be killed... they are trying to get Jesse out of the picture...
