Walt said Emilio and Crazy 8 on the phone to Jesse in this episode, I thought those were the names. Regardless it doesn't change my argument. Gus set up Jesse to be killed by ordering the senseless murder of a child.

It wasn't an immediate decision. Walt was certainly bored but he missed his family, his kids mostly. Skyler gave him a choice - bring the kids home and retire or we keep building this pile of money for no reason.

Gus was a true monster. Best there ever was on TV, a perfect villain. Far worse than Walt in my opinion. He ordered that child to be killed to instigate Jesse into retaliation mode. Gus knew Jesse would die if he went after Emilio and Crazy 8. As soon as Walt realized the kid had been killed he immediately went to…

Last week's episode proved what I have been saying all along. Walt isn't a complete monster hell bent on ego - running a drug empire that he gave up after 3 months doesn't fit the definition of an egomaniac. He doesn't murder people whenever it suits him, he usually tries a non lethal tactic first. He doesn't kill…

menocu - so you realize you made an incorrect comment and wont respond. Nice job dumb ass. Nothing Walt has done has been willful. Explain what you wrote or admit you are wrong. Any idiot knows that Walt and Jesse are family to Walt. You said he willfully chose to do evil deeds rather than walk away.

Explain to me how Walt is responsible for the actions of Jesse and Hank.

Great stuff Bubbles. BB is so incredible. You will never get half that with other shows like Thrones or Mad Men.

“Walt has been backed into a corner plenty of times, but more often he has willfully chosen to go all in on evil deeds rather than fold and call it a day. He has repeatedly
refused Saul's option of choosing a new identity far away because his #1 motive
is to vanquish his foes at any cost”

Blade Runner - if Walt kills Jesse or Hank then he's truly a monster.

Persia - yes the hush money was originally from Gus in the event of his death. That is an entirely different position than Walt was in. How the hell was he going to launder them money a third time without Mike? Money wasn't his issue by that point.

Walt - so you threw away the $5 million I just gave you? Got arrested and risked exposing all of us?

—- hahaha it so ridiculous. Want me to hate Walt? You should have killed Brock. You should have had him kill Jesse or at least let Jesse be killed. He shouldn't be so broken up when Jesse's girlfriend is choking. He shouldn't be out of the game after 3 months creating an empire. He left for Skyler, for his family, to…

Wad Van - yes that is my point exactly, the money was confiscated so every one of those meth dealers/criminals knew that Mike did everything he could. It wasn't Mike's fault or Heisenberg's fault. They were only concerned with themselves and because of this they gave Walt no option. They didn't try to stay quiet,…

Exactly dygitalninja….this is a brilliant man who has been backed into a corner again and again. Anyone else would be dead at this point or killed Jesse long ago to simply his life.

Guess you missed his conversation with Marie last week…

Kill 9 criminals that are trying to ruin your life? Yeah, that's the price of being a criminal. Walt paid them off TWICE. And the instant the money stopped they all couldn't wait to rat everyone else to get a deal. I have zero sympathy for those degenerates.

Exactly. Every other leader of a drug empire would have killed Jesse 30 times over by now.

Her reviews make a point to say how much of a monster Walter is. This week's review was the most egregious. I also saw genuine concern for Jesse in that hug, not acting like the video he made.

Yeah Hank is a piece of shit. No different than Walt. All about his own pride and legacy. Love to See Walt live, on the run. Skyler and the kids are safe.

I called it after episode 8 – that Jesse would discover the Brock move by Walt and set up the Walt v. Jesse finale. Fucking impossible show to predict, in any way.. But of course Saul is a fucking moron and a coward. Barely put up a fight. Did he really think some guy who can erase people and create new identities…
