Jesse doesn't know that


It is a bit confusing because Jesse does knows the lily poisoned Brock. He tells Walt that's what the doctor said to him. Either way, Jesse did have his suspicions about Huell snatching the ricin from him and this is just confirms it but he still knows it's not the ricin that poisoned Brock.

In my opinion I think it's a bit of a stretch to have Jesse flip out and beat up Saul and try to burn Walt's house down at this revelation. Then again, I guess you could argue Jesse is emotionally wrecked enough to act like this.


Considering he was already an emotional basket case and angry at Walt, it isn't too surprising to have this revelation finally push him over the edge.

Maybe Walt fakes his own death. That's why his neighbor is so shocked to see him. Just an out there thought.

Well, it's been suggested in the previous episode. I'd be surprised if that's not what happens. Then again, it might just be a red-herring. Question remains, what's with the MG?

Just knowing that the creators have had an endgame in mind and have so far executed it brilliantly is such a good space to be in as a fan of the show.

I follow a few other US dramas these days (Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead) but some of them just seem to be wandering about...BB is a laser beam right now, and I can't wait to see how it all comes together.

What advertisers pay for product placement on Breaking Bad?

Maybe they will have a say in the outcome of the show.

Will Walt do something to redeem himself in the eyes of the viewers?

Maybe we'll end up sympathizing with Walt at the end.

Is he our hero?

It really is a laser beam. With a few minor exceptions here and there (Jessie connecting the dots a little too fast regarding the poison), Breaking Bad is just so perfectly focused it's quite a thing to watch it all unfold.

I'm a bit twisted, but Walt's about the only character I actually do sympathize with beside the late Gustavo Fring. Maybe it's the cancer and the desire to secure his family's future, but short of a few events, I'm still on Team Walt. It's Jessie that I'm finally starting to lose faith in.

The dude is just an awful liar that makes me cringe.

Why are you losing faith in Jesse? He is the one person I still respect. And I'm starting to finally like Marie...

I'm guessing it will end in a manner that will keep the viewers debating whether Walt redeemed himself or not for months. One thing for sure: I'll be watching.

Yeah, he's clever and ruthless.

That video they made and gave to Hank was chilling. They are willing to destroy that side of the family if Hank continues to pursue them.

I hope they write a clear and decisive ending with either Walt biting it big time or outsmarting the law and competition.

And what happens to Jesse?

But that's been clear from the beginning. The guy is basically a genius at chemistry who screwed up, sold his shares in a company he founded, then went on to work for a company that went belly-up and ended up teaching high school chemistry to support his family...in other words, he's brilliant but he tends to make decisions that have a negative outcome.

Wasn't expecting that video at all. That was a bit of a curve ball.

I know there are a lot of Skyler and Marie haters out there, but I would love to see the White vs. Schrader clan war spin-off into another series after Walt and Hank's death. Ruthless Skyler and Marie this season have been quite enjoyable to watch.

That was a great episode. Wow. Walt should have known better.
