He's a snake though. Responsible for Jane's death even though he "loved her". Don't get me wrong, I love the chemistry between he and Walt but there's zero pity from me. I'm at the part where he's starting to skim-off-the-top of the product in the new lab. The kid just can't stop making these boneheaded decisions.

He's not a snake. Something you'll realize. He's a junkie and has the problems that come with a junkie, but he sticks by Walt's side even after him and Walt have a falling out he is still willing to kill and die to protect Walt. That is hardly a snake.

Agreed. "Peek-a-boo" and covering for his little brother show his true colors.

Yes, Pinkman is the heart of this show. Best character development.

did you guys hear that the spin off show "Better Call Saul" is in serious talks right now? It could begin airing as soon as summer 2014. Vince said he isn't revealing whether or not it will take place before or after the BB series. - because Saul could die in the final episodes.

Hopefully after so maybe they can have a cameo or two from other cast members lol

I'm not doubting how loyal he is to Walt so far. However, a lot of people he's close with has either left or is dead mainly because of his mistakes.

He's a junkie. People that run with him that is their choice. Jane made the choice to walk into that bedroom. She's an adult and a former junkie. They both made mistakes and are both equally responsible. And don't forget the major part that Walt plays in all this. He set all this in motion and could have saved Jane.

Just saw the season 4 finale. Did Walt do what that ending implied? Cause that is some evil manipulative shit.

I found this explaining how it went down.

[Show spoiler]

Walter has Saul Goodmans bodyguard take the ricin off of him (when he pats him down), knowing that Jesse will put 2 and 2 together to think that it was Walt (which it was, but hold on). so he knows Jesse will think Walt poisined Brock, so he will come to kill him. but then Walt uses this to his advantage, making it seem like it was Gus who poisined Brock, and that Gus is trying to pin it on Walt so that Jesse will kill him. so that is why Walt took the ricin even though he didn't use it

now, he poisins Brock, so that he can turn Jesse against Gus by telling him it was Gus who poisined him, so that he will be able to use Jesse (who Gus still trusts) to kill Gus so that he and his family will be safe

I mean I get why Walter did it, but its so messed up that he would do that to a child regardless of his goal.

So how many seasons are people rolling back to get re-familiar with what happened are people going? I'm thinking end of Season 4 and the first half of 5 should do me well...

I just did my first watch. Just finished season 4. Hoping season 5 goes up on Netflix soon.

[djgeneral]

starting the entire series over tomorrow hopefully

[djgeneral]

Started my series re-watch. My God, the Pilot is so fantastic.

[djgeneral]

LOL Some of the things Jesse says in episode 2... so hilarious.

These two have such incredible chemistry.

[djgeneral]

the music is always so good in this series. the songs ending ep 1 and ep 2 are perfect

[djgeneral]

I always wanted more with Jesse and his brother.

That 3 second teaser they showed today during the walking dead just got me more excited

[Show spoiler] its pretty much him in his car driving. Looks like hes speeding and looking all angry. Im guessing its set the same day he found about walter cuz hes wearing the same shirt

[Tony208]

imo Jesse will sacrifice himself to save Walt from Hank and Walt will have a "breaking good" moment where he feels like the world doesn't owe him anything anymore and then he'll give himself up and go to jail

A new teaser?! I need to see!! I figured they probably would use the Walking Dead 4th marathon for a preview. The first official preview is supposed to premiere during The Killing either tomorrow or 7/14.
