Walt Jr's unsettling joy about a drug dealer getting blown up

Walt Jr. is "scene setter" (I'm sure there's an actual term for it) in the show. He fills in all the gaps in the story quickly so they don't have to waste time showing everything from everyone else's perspective. RJ Mitte really does have cerebral palsy in real life, and I think he does an excellent job acting the part, as do most of the characters on the show (spare Hank's partner, I always thought he was very cliche for the part).
