When Mike and Jesse were getting ready to meet Declan (?) and Mike reassured Jesse that the meeting would be safe, I feared some awful thing.

Something tells me Skyler's never going to say "Oh, you're out now, Walt?  Okay then, here's Holly to bounce on your knee and I'll give you an eBay-laptop-hand-job tonight.  Jesse doesn't know until dinner that his appeals to Walt's family loyalty are completely irrelevant now.

Nope.  His speech to Jesse after dinner was inexplicably tinged with that "poor me" self-pity that he's so good at.  How could Skyler possibly think I've endangered my kids?  Why doesn't she love me anymore?  And yeah, before Skyler got home with supper:  I was screwed out of hundreds of millions of dollars as a…

Was I the only one who was hoping Skyler and Jesse would hit it off and she'd see his humanity and play the maternal figure and they could both cut out on Walt and reform their lives and it would all start with them sharing an after-dinner cigarette?  Too hopeful?

Jesse won't leave the game and go legit because he sees himself as evil and beyond redemption.  That's what he learned about himself in rehab.  He continues to try and do the right thing when he can out of self-loathing.  Walter, on the other hand, sees himself at the root as some kind of Robin Hood figure, scooping…

I know why I was still cheering them on: I really wanted Jesse's plan to work so he could feel some self-esteem for once. So of course DBK fucked up any shot of that goal being accomplished. Poor Jesse! I know if you play the game yadda yadda, but I still feel so bad for him. Funny how Crazy-8's assessment of…

Also [SPOILER] Spartacus. You definitely CAN kill babies on TV these days. The "Home" episode of The X Files was great, but the dead multi-mutated baby wasn't nearly as freaky as [SPOILER again — sorry!] the horrible stumpy mother.

I'm Canadian, so it's a minor miracle I get AMC at all, not that I want to give any praise to Rogers, my cable provider, but they're better than The Pirate Bay, which I gather isn't even an option anymore.
