James Brown was arrested for domestic violence four times and charged with rape and everybody still loves James Brown. If it was purely a racial matter, James Brown would be as reviled as Chris Brown.

Exactly, you can kill someone shooting them in the leg, or cripple them permanently. Which is why you generally shouldn't shoot your partner in the leg.

Ha. I went to college with that guy. He's actually a pretty good dude.

I get that and I totally agree. I was just referring to your take on Jesse's "He can't keep getting away with it" speech. I think that is more about the show's idea of karmic justice - that Walt can't keep being such a sociopathic, manipulative, evil, lying bastard and never suffer any consequences.

Take it how you want. Jesse is pretty clearly not complaining about Walt not being in jail. Jesse and Walt are not moral equivalents. If you've watched every episode of this show and have come to the conclusion that they are, then you are missing the point in a pretty massive way.

Exactly. His easiest option was to turn himself in and face punishment for his crimes. Just because he doesn't want to do that doesn't make it not an option.

You are giving Walt way too much credit. There is no question that what Walt did was justified from his point of view, but ONLY from his point of view. He poisoned and nearly killed an innocent kid because he would rather take the risk of someone else's child dying than own up to his own actions and place his family…

I think that people make the mistake of assuming that Brock was definitely going to live just because he did. If you give a potentially fatal dose of poison to a small child there is a very real possibility that the child will die. There is no such thing as an exactly near-fatal dose, any more than there is a magic…

Except that Jesse hasn't "gotten away with it," the same way Walt has. Jesse is a miserable, depressed, guilt-haunted wreck of a human being. His life has been destroyed by all of the things he and Walt have done, while Walt just floats on, rationalizing away all of his evil deeds and never seems to pay any price or…

You just described life. BOOM.

I don't feel sorry for her anymore, either. But what does sipping liquor and the price of the hotel room and thinking her asshole husband is an asshole have to do with anything?

It was the slowest of the four episodes thus far. Also, people on the internet are nitpicky assholes.

Jesse was a drug dealer, but he was a small-time petty drug dealer. NOTHING Jesse every did pre-Walt was on the level of the things he did once he and Walt teamed up.

Thank you. Just because the kid didn't die, doesn't mean he couldn't have died. There is really not much margin for error when you are poisoning small children. He was in the ICU and easily could have died.

I think scooping up Lydia is harder than you make it. First of all, she lives and works in Houston, not ABQ. Second, she is not stupid and is not going to go along with Hank when she doesn't have to any more than Skyler did.

I think Walt is definitely considering having Todd and Uncle Nazi kill Jesse, but it doesn't really matter, because they aren't going to find him at Hank's house and there is no way Hank is going to let Jesse go anywhere now that he has him.

I thought of Jesse claiming to be Heisenberg, but I have no idea how that could possibly play out….

The show has done major developments offscreen before, throughout its run. Doesn't bother me.

I started to read it and then gave up as soon as I saw the reviewer thought it was  a bad episode.
