When Walter is saying that all Jesse has is video games and go karts, Aaron Paul's acting was stellar.
It hurt when he told him that.

lol it was such a typical thing that a father would say to a son when the father is upset.It hurt when he told him that.

Yes!
He'll probably get a lot more time now that Mike's out of the picture.

I would imagine that Jesse has had less screen time in part because of the amount of time that was spent with Mike this season. That, of course, will change.
Edit:
I like the way you think!

One of my favorite bits of dialogue ever which would never get mentioned on a list is Saul say he convinced a girl he was Kevin Costner once, and it worked because he believed it too.

It's great how the writers treat every character as if they are pretty smart and write around that (except for Mike only tying one hand) - even the dumbest character on the show.
That one's the best, but I also really like the Los Pollos Hermanos commercial in the episode Kafkaesque.

A memorable one for me is the opening with the crawling ritual where the twins put the heisenberg pic on the shrine.
Haha, totally forgot about this. This has to be probably my favorite.
Yea, that is my favorite.

She's still cute though.
Another thing about the opens is that Season 5 has been really damn good with them this year.
Live Free or Die - we're still talking about that one, so it's a big one
Madrigal - One of my faves. All of the stupid sounding names coupled with the fancy environment and the guy's sullenness make it another one of BrBa's great dark humor moments
Hazard Pay - Probably the least exciting one, but introduces the "9 guys in jail" concept
Fifty One - BBBBBBBBB BONFIRE
Dead Freight - Showing the little boy that we've never met before here was brilliant. That way, the open is confusing enough that you don't remember much except for the train's horn. Then, when they do the heist and they show this kid that you had all but forgotten about, you know shit's going to get real. And it did.
Buyout - Definitely one of the more horrific moments in the show's history, even though there's no gore. Having the bike dismemberment be a symbol for the boy was great. Another favorite of mine.
Say My Name - awesome music, Heisenberg to the max, what's not to like?
They've knocked them out of the park this year.

this one is great, i'd forgotten about it. it really hammers home mike's final point, I think. that was a sweet operation they had running there. job security.

Water is not wet!
im still kind of amazed at the timeline for the show. If its all about a year things move at crazy break neck speed. Hank has gone from traumatized DEA agent to dealing with Tucos death to beating Jesse to a pulp to starting his own microbrewery to getting in a gunfight with the cartel to learning how to walk again to catching up with Gus Fring to becoming promoted.. all in under a year?

Yup, that would be my favourite.
I watched this earlier today and it's even better a second time.
I think Jesse has become smarter for sure. He's come up with the best ideas to get them out of shit like "what if we steal it without anyone knowing about it." And the magnet idea.
I also think that Jesse becoming smarter, more mature, more independent, and more confident has allowed him to no longer be so suseptible to Walt's manipulation, as he would rather walk away from the 5 million owed than to cook with Walt anymore. Walt will have to step up his manipulation game to get him back to his side.
Walt tipped his hand about his remorselessness too easily. He used to be a better lier and better actor when it came to showing remorse, but like Karl Pilkington said, "depressed people don't whistle." But Walt, saying how broken up he was, proceeded to whistle while he worked and Jesse saw it and realized he had no remorse.

I have to think they're intentionally showing Jesse is getting smarter while Walt is getting dumber.
Walt used to think out every scenario before acting at all - now he's at the point where he killed Mike for no reason at all, missing the obvious solution in front of him and couldn't even justify it to himself afterwards

A good montage truly makes everything awesome, isn't it?
And while we're at it, a couple of obvious ones -
Negro y Azul.
Los Pollos Hermanos.

i think it's mostly about showing that the characters have changed in the way that they balance rationality and emotion in their decisions. what i wouldn't give to hear a walt version of jesse's original voicemail message.. he's boisterous, egotistic, the characters have almost become mirror images of what the other was when the series started.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I'm really looking forward to re-watching the past seasons after the whole series is done (I don't want to do it any sooner). I couldn't possibly make a list of favorite moments because I can't remember most of them prior to S4.

i watch random old episodes on netflix or on my computer and it's all just so good. the show is really just incredible in that there's no point in which a character makes a fundamental change. i mean, obviously, that's the show. but it just does it so well. you can watch a season two episode and it is the same character you just watched in the latest episode, no matter what they're doing. how they pull it off is really great. it even still holds true for walt, i think.
"Stay out of my territory" was season 2 and that's pretty much a summary of his thoughts last episode. In fact, it was "I'm taking over your territory".

right but there's a difference between being threatening in a parking lot and shooting a dude who helped you in an emotional hissy fit.
i just don't know if i care enough to want him dead.

Yup, every now and then he slips up and acts awkwardly, like in the dinner scene with Skyler, but he really, really matured.

Walt's face right after he shot Mike, when he's closing the gap between himself and Mike's crashed car... fucking hell that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. He looked like a child who didn't know what he'd done.
Throw more awards at Bryan Cranston please world. All of the awards, until all we have left is swimming certificates, then give him those too.

Yeah, and his losing his voice down by the river. I still maintain that this isn't Walt's worst. He's done Stringer-level shit, killing Mike was Ziggy.
