Why did he have such a hardon for Jessie? Why protect the kid ?
I have seen the series a couple of times and havnt figured this out. |
|
I hated Jessie by the last season of the show. I was hoping someone would kill him.

|
He started actually disliking the kid in the beginning. Jessie was a means to his end.
The closeness developed later from shared experience, and coincided with loss of closeness to his own son/family. They also became more alike (both Jessie AND Walter changed). |
|
|
White was a meth dealing serial killer.
And probably a pedophile who abused his dope dealing serial killer partner when teaching school. |
|
|
|
Perhaps it was Walter White's one link to his humanity as his character became darker before his quasi-redemption.
|
|
maybe im full of shit
but I believe you will notice as his relationship with his family gets worse his relationship with Jesse grows I really didnt like it but I binged watched the entire thing over a couple weeks as I had time if you think about it everything happens for a reason and fits together like one giant puzzle |

White killed and killed. Jessie killed. They sold meth. In bulk. Both deserved an ISIS-gruesome death. In episode 2. But I hate drug dealers. |

The question I ask myself is: what would have happened to Gus had he gone with his gut instincts and never hired Walter White?
The man was cautious and calculating and made the right call the first time. I wonder how much that ate at him before his front half fell off. |

The man was cautious and calculating and made the right call the first time. I wonder how much that ate at him before his front half fell off. Gus would have hired Gail, I guess? Gus had already hired Gail. Gail was the person who set up the lab under the laundry (we see Gus talking to Gail while he is unpacking equipment and setting up the lab in the first episode in season 4) and was already producing a product of high purity (96%). Gus even told Gail something along the lines of "For our purposes, 96% will do fine" when Gail was going on about the purity of Walter's product. That makes it even worse as Gus already had a loyal, stable, qualified chemist and a lab all ready to go and then he hired Walt. I assume Gus hired Walt thinking he would only work for him for 3 months (or a short period anyway) and Gail could learn from him along the way. I wonder what Gus was thinking when Gail was murdered. |

Meh, with the exception of Jesse's girlfriend, White never killed anyone who didn't have it coming iirc. Not exactly a serial killer in the strictest since, but a murderer certainly.

Doesn't seem like a bad plan to bank on a man with stage 4? lung cancer dying soon. |

I really wish we had more incite into his thinking during the whole thing. He strikes me as a fascinating character. |

It was a complex relationship for sure, but Jessie looked up to and basically worshipped Walter as a father. Walter, obviously having a difficult home situation with his real kids being taken from him by skyler. Walt also can celebrate their combined success with Jesse in ways he cannot with Walt JR. It was father-son on both sides with Walt and Jessie.

He did it to teach Jesse a lesson, he also did it so Jesse wouldn't leave him and so Jesse would come back to him and stop spending all of his time with Jane getting high. Remember at the end Walter said he enjoyed it, he enjoyed cooking meth, he enjoyed the danger, and he probably enjoyed killing people. |

View Quote Exactly, and he didn't kill her. Her junkie-ass killed herself. He just let it happen. She was trying to fuck him over too. If she hadn't tried to fuck him over he probably would have saved her. Even Mike (Arfcom's hero) had it coming. The only person I feel bad for was Gale Boetticher. |
