I really, really hope there's some fallout there's some fallout from Jane's death in the final episodes. Like, Walt's done so much terrible shit since but that really felt like the tipping point from frightened self-preservation to calculated evil. Also, kind of a massive secret for him still to be keeping from Jesse.

Doesn't look like that's gonna happen though - it's totally unprovable without Walter having some kind of breakdown like he almost did in the Fly episode. Plus they seem to keep making a point of Walt foolishly keeping the ricin cigarette, looks like that's more likely to be the real event. But honestly I'd be fine with both deceptions never being uncovered by Jesse, it would fit in this world.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 21:02 (eleven years ago) link
I wouldn't rule out Walt having another breakdown like that for one second.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 21:05 (eleven years ago) link
i think we've already passed the point that admission would shock jesse. for all its hideousness it was iirc the most passive role walt's played in another person's death, aside from the obv bulk meth manufacturing.
walt compelling jesse to murder gale and then jesse being drawn further into gus's trusted circle, and having to negotiate these two poles of moral degeneracy, is the real, lasting break in their relationship. i think it overshadows everything that came before and sets the tone for what's happened since.

i am absolutely loving rewatching this, it is so rich in sympathy and detail, and some of the big scenes that seemed overwrought when i first caught it are just killing me now. like jesse in the 12 step group in season 4, setting up his own kangaroo court when he talks about killing a "dog," and demands to be judged for it (in this environment specifically organized to suppress judgment), because everyone in his world who holds sway over his life, walt or gus or mike, won't do it; would only encourage it.

I don't know how the logistics of this would work but I'd be really into a spinoff called "RUN" where different people get into jams and Walt just appears in the last 5 seconds to run over people and solve the problem

yesss. could just apply it to different tv shows.
i've been using headphones throughout my rewatch, and i'm noticing even more how the sound design is consistently amazing. the quiet drips of blood onto the floor while gus is letting victor bleed to death: D:

seems like the pretty clear line here is "walt was nice to jesse, haha except when he did terrible things including letting jesse's gf die." -- "which gf?" -- "jane. walt let jane die."

It'd be funny if there was a scene where he tells Jesse "don't you see he's making all this up as he goes along?" Not actually funny, just "I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for the big finish and will say any random shit" funny.
