      Maple at least did clock that, but it's such a shame they missed out on such a moving scene because they hate Walt SO much.
      And yeah, he deserves it, but missing out on the acting Bryan Cranston is doing because of the character he portrays makes me sad. They just kept talking over his lines and not really taking in what was being said.
      Other than that, I really enjoyed the rest of the review.

    Vince Gilligan went on record and said that despite everything that happened over the course of the series, Walt telling Jessie about Jane's death was the most evil thing he ever did. EVERY other misdeed was for the sake of self-preservation or profit. This was the one thing Walt ever did because he simply wanted to inflict pain.

      @KyleBaran90 2 месяца назад +3

      To me, Jane's death was the trolley problem. If he never visited, she still would have died anyways. His non-action changed nothing and only made him a witness to what happened. It was like the ASAC said to Hank regarding Gus: "You can't arrest someone because they didn't make a phone call." Same thing applies here. And besides that, she threatened him with blackmail.
      Walter said it out of spite because that is his relationship with Jesse, but this also happened in the same episode where he gave Skyler and alibi. Despite therapy, Jesse probably still blamed himself for his role in Jane's death and Walter stepped up and assumed all the blame for everyone's problems

      So yeah, it is Walter's fault, but it wouldn't have happened if Jesse wasn't high. It's like he said after rehab, it's nobody's fault per se, it just happened from a result of everyone's decisions

      I sympathize a tiny bit because Jesse originally wanted to get revenge on his own, and lockup was essentially a death sentence. But Jesse had a personal code against cooperating with the authorities, and he broke it. (Although, Hank was a rogue agent and arguably a criminal at that point, too.)

      Hindsight is 20/20 on that scene tbh. With everything that happened and was happening, especially with what he did with Jesse earlier. It was totally believable he was just psycho crashing out and didn’t know what he was saying until the moment he saw Holly in the car. At least for me on the first watch. The show created an anxiety that could absolutely throw me through a loop. Second watch through it was clearer. But that first one I was kinda like them ‘wtf are you doing you crazy fuck’

And if Gus is to be believed... His dealers acted without his consent, and he intended to deal with them. If you ask me? Makes NO SENSE for Gus to tell them to off a child. Gus is all about keeping things secret and hidden. Why would he order a murder of a child that is sure to bring in unwanted attention? I think that it is FAR more likely that the two dealers felt slighted and got angry that they were called to the principal's office and offed Tomas just to say "fuck you" to Jesse (he DID attempt to kill the two dealers, after all).
      Walt DOES use this vagueness to his advantage to ACTUALLY poison Brock (non-lethally, sure) and manipulate Jesse into siding against Gus. It was a BRILLIANT move, but a TERRIBLE thing to do (poison a child).

    Here's the explanation for the phone call. It's obvious these two wouldn't get it at first due to the Walter hate[ I don't blame them, I was fooled too]:
    Basically, Walt was trying to save Skylar from a police investigation into their money laundering operation by making it look like he coerced her into doing it. He knew the police were on the line and made sure they would only focus on him. How do we know he's lying to them? In s4, Walter completely disagreed with Skylar laundering his money and didn't even want her to be involved. The car wash was all her idea, and she even had help from one of Saul's guys to buy it. Again, I don't expect them to get it all on the first watch because so much happens in this episode, and it takes a lot of time to process the information through an emotional Rollercoaster that is ozymandias.
    I know this episode is about Walt facing consequences, but I also felt characters like Skylar and Jesse face consequences for their choices.
    Jesse could have left New Mexico and Walter behind but chose revenge, and now he is a slave for the neo-nazis forced to cook meth again.
    Skylar chose to launder Walter's drug money even though Walter already had Saul Goodman to do it. She still insisted on doing it, and now she's in the middle of a police investigation, and luckily, Walter was able to save her at the last minute with the phone call.

    He gave up Jesse because he blamed Jesse for Hank's death. If Jesse just wasn't so emotionally weak (as per usual), took his money, and didn't snitch, then none of them would've been out there and Hank wouldn't have been shot. JUST LIKE if Jesse hadn't tried to kill Gus' dealers, Walt wouldn't have had to kill them instead, and their relationship with Gus wouldn't have been ruined. JUST LIKE if Jesse hadn't been bored and greedy while working for Gus, he wouldn't have been skimming from their batches or bothered trying to find the street price for their product and learned that Gus' dealers were the ones to get Brock's uncle to kill Combo.
    As much as you guys may hate to admit it time and time again, Jesse's actions have resulted in both him and Walt going from bad to worse situations, and up until this moment Walt has always forgiven him for it.

      ... so now he knows he has to leave immediately because the cops were called, but two of the three people he wants to "save" are actively stopping him from saving them... so he acts to "save" the only member of the family that's left for him to save, because he loves his family and still thinks that he's the good guy. It's only after driving and having time to think, then hearing Holly say "mama" that he realizes that he can't bring his family with him now, because the cops are involved and it will all have already come out from Junior, and that it would be far more good for the rest of the family, far more protective and "saving" them if he gets Holly back to Skylar instead of with him on the run as he dies of cancer... and that he must also save them by clearing Skylar, and he knows that the cops will have arrived by now and will be recording all calls because it's a kidnapping situation, so he calls and gives the fake speech, then drops Holly off, because those two things are the best and only options he has left to protect and help his family.

      You know why none of that would have happened to him? BECAUSE Crazy 8 and Emilio *would have killed him* in the first episode. When Walt reconnected with Jesse, it was after seeing Jesse escape the scene of a DEA bust of Emilio, with whom Jesse was cooking. Crazy 8 tipped off the DEA to the cook, and then when Emilio got out of jail early, Crazy 8 blamed Jesse for the tipoff, which was plausible, because he was getting laid instead of working, and so evaded the Feds. The only reason they did not kill Jesse for revenge was the high quality meth he had on his person, so they forced him to lead them to the source of this new product, and Walt killed them both, and not the last people he would kill for Jesse's benefit.
      Whatever bad stuff happens to Jesse as a result of his relationship with Walt is chicken scratch, because *every day Jesse lives* from Episode 2 through Season 5 is a gift from Walt.

      it's basically the lynchpin of the whole episode and one of the single most important character moments in the entire show. i would argue that if you didn't get what he's doing, you don't really get walt's character and by extension the show itself, which doesn't make for good reaction content!

      Todd is a psychopathic killer, but he is also incredibly smart. If you remember the first time they met him, he "disabled a nanny cam" in the first house they tented. Again, he's brilliant - just really flawed as a human being.

    Jesse's "brilliant" plan led Hank to the desert. Walter had previously created the circumstances for Hank to stop pursuing him (remember the disc with the recording). Without Jesse (his testimony, the recording of the conversation in the car, the manipulation of the money), Hank would have nothing against Walt. Legally. Therefore, part of the blame certainly lies with Jesse. And not only Walt who called Jack and his gang. But then again, why did Walt turn to Jack and his gang? Because earlier Jesse came to his house with a canister and tried to set it on fire. Skyler and Saul asked Walt to deal with him. But Walt continued to protect him. And ONLY after another threat, he decided to take this step to eliminate Jesse. I've always wondered why people think Walt is a biggest jerk when Jesse is the one who always screwed things up. Since season 1, his actions have caused problems. Just remember that he told Crazy 8 who Walter really was. Walt has solved those problems. Jesse is also part of Heisenberg. But how easy it is to shift responsibility.
