All of you who are hating on Jesse can sit and spin. To quote Hank in S1E01.
I'm pretty sure I heard "I don't give a shit about a family". Could be wrong but that's what I thought.
He said you. I had the subtitles on.
Walter also saved Jesse from Crazy 8 in the pilot, if Walter wasn't around Jesse would've been murdered and buried.
Jesse is the only person on the show with a heart (oddly enough), and he's going through a mental breakdown.
It was "you".

Well thought out and honest accoun right here.
Haha, Hank was pretty pissed off damn. I hope that's not foreshadowing... I want him and Marie to get out of this alive, they deserve that much

I actually want the writers to do what makes the most sense giving the context of the story, so if they must die, they must. But I'm rootin' for them to escape.

Let's be real though. Going to the police isn't the best way to protect somebody from a drug lord and his network of criminals/assassins.

What an ending.
We're getting more than one OT for this season, it looks like. Has that ever happened before?

Crazy 8 was never going to murder Jesse. He was going to rat him out to the DEA and get him arrested. Crazy 8 was a snitch.

Well I stand corrected. Nice touch by Norris with the spit wad flying.

The best shot of the episode:
This actually startled me.
Haha I always forget that detail. Crazy 8 totally was a snitch
Welcome home, Walter.
fuuuuuuuu
Hank was so great in that last scene, but goddamn that is one sad beard.
not paying enough under the dome.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense like I originally heard. I mean it could be explained away by his rage if he said "I", and not been taken seriously, but the writers are too deliberate for something like that. But I am going to watch the episode again just to be sure lol
Many thanks!

She really is a super fan, she's going in.
Really, I think it is. Witness protection program. Plus he would have enough info on Fring for them to arrest him. Mike would also be arrested. Sure the family is still at risk but not as big as a risk as what Walt actually did and we know what he actually did do still brought him family down.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Julie Bowen doing a good job on Talking Bad.
Basically yeah Walt is bad and we all realize it, but then there is this little part of you that wants him to win. Sorta like Vic Mackey. Maybe you don't want him to win in the end, but you get satisfaction out of seeing how we will squirm his way out.

I know its amazing
When Crazy 8 and his cousin saw Walter, the cousin seemed hellbent on killing both of them. Crazy 8 would probably let his cousin murder Jesse, they would've hid the bodies in the desert and go about their day.
Oh god, no.
Speaking of guilt... when I read a story recently about an agent pursuing an SS officer in his 90s, one of the things that was written was how the agent felt that the former SS officer - who was asking for forgiveness - didn't really feel guilty because if he did, he would have turned himself in and ALSO accepted the punishment that came along with it, instead of just secretly trying to seek forgiveness from a jew.
Do we think in order for Jesse to redeem himself, he has to inform on Walt?

God damn, as if I didn't like Julie Bowen enough already...
Turns out I was wrong! Nonetheless, fucking brilliant scene.Haha, Hank was pretty pissed off damn. I hope that's not foreshadowing... I want him and Marie to get out of this alive, they deserve that much

Nah, not for me. I want Walt to go down, and I want him to suffer.
Thanks. I guess a point I wanted to make too is that, there relationship really is a tragedy. They both cared for each other on some deeper level, and yet they were always pulling apart from each other. It's obvious that Walt saw Jesse as the son he never had (but at the same he would manipulate him when it was beneficial to him). And Jesse saw Walt as the father he never had.
If Walt was entirely ruthless and out for himself, he would have let Jesse die a long time ago. The minute Jesse gave up all his info to Jane, should have been a red flag. And when Jesse was stealing meth from Gus and slinging it locally, and then trying to kill Gus's dealers, he could have just let Jesse get killed. Intervening for Jesse didn't benefit him whatsoever in that moment, and it only put his family in danger, as well as his position to make money. Letting Jesse die would have meant that he no longer would have to worry about Jesse going off the handle, and being a loose end.
So now that it's all coming down to the wire, Jesse is falling apart at the seams. He can't handle the guilt of what he's done. And because Walt can't bring himself to kill Jesse, or even entertain the idea that he should probably get rid of him if he's going to be making this much noise, I think Jesse will end up being Walt's downfall in the end.
Not to sound cheesy, but it's pretty damn poetic.
scared the living shit out of me and I still don't know what to make of itThe best shot of the episode:
lol

i just wanna bring up that this was the first time walt and hank had a genuine talk in the entire show
Because Walter isn't making it.
Because Todd is better at killing kids than cooking meth.
Because Walt isn't making it.
Well they sure as hell didn't waste much time getting to it.
Haha, i just want the story to make sense at the end. The way it's written, it only makes sense that Walt loses everything and either dies or is in jail.
Todd probably cookin', thinkin' he all hot, but he ain't shit.
Yeah, one of the best scenes in the series
my favorite scenes
1. Walt vs. Skyler in the Bedroom from Season 5a
2. "I am the one who Knocks."
3. Hank and Walt in the Garage from Season 5b
4. Mike's Half-Measures Speech
5. "A Robot!?"
Oh, wow. One decent episode and I'm supposed to pretend this show is good all of a sudden. Typical.
I've always liked, Hank. The performance he gave tonight was an achievement. They are getting the most out of just about every actor that has appeared on the show. It's amazing. Even Badger entertained.

There were about a half dozen Fring callbacks. A few at the car-wash, then in the bathroom and even Walt's conversation with, Hank.
Represent.

Makes a dope cover photo.

Because Walt (or Jesse) isn't cooking it.

But none of that would of ever happened if Walt wanted to cook. See where I'm going here? No one is denying that Walt has saved Jesse's ass on a couple of a occasions.
