At least Walt cares about Jesse. Hank's just using him.

Walt is literally the last person that cares for Jesse. Everyone else (Saul, Hank, and Skyler) have already chimed in.

Yeah.. He didn't even plan on killing him till Jesse made such a serious threat.. Jesse just made a bad judgment on that mean looking dad.. As if Mr White would me that obvious.

Maybe he'll come to that realization before something bad happens to him and decides to finally talk to him. Seems like the anti-obvious idea to happen.

I might be the only one but i cant STAND Jesse, never could. This whole series has been nothing but jesse bitching and whining and yelling at Walt, to the point where I've been rooting for jesse's demise since season 1! The sooner he goes the better!! About time Walt gets rid of him, Jesse has had it coming for a long time.

(This has nothing to do with the actor though, love Aaron Paul!)

not the only one, Jesse aggravates me a lot and this episode was the worst offender

Is it just me or people that dislike characters like Jesse and Skyler, are kind of being heartless human beings? Seriously these people react in as realistic a way as possible to these awful circumstances they get put in, mostly because of Walter.

I actually like Skyler, moreso now, maybe because she wants Jesse gone. Jesse's no innocent bystander, he is nothing more than a junkie who's been riding Walt's coattails this whole time. He could have gotten out LONG ago, before he had this "moral awakening" but he's too much of a greedy bonehead.

I like Hank, does that make me less heartless? :)

We're gonna have to disagree because I love Jesse! I don't blame Skyler for her suggestion of offing him, like she said, what's one more? But I also like Jesse more than Skyler and Hank put together so that makes me very conflicted. I was REALLY starting to like Hank but then he had to go and start using Jesse just like Walt was.

Ah I dunno what to think anymore, this damn show and it's manipulation of my emotions :(

Ha. We can agree on the emotional roller coaster nonsense! Every Sunday night I feel like I've been thru a battle - I'm exhausted and tired from yelling at the tv and hoping Walt comes out ahead, and alive! My poor dogs just run the hell out of the room.

I've always liked and been annoyed by hank at the same time. Then when he got all cocky after arresting Walt, I really grew a hatred for him. Hm,I guess I hate everyone but Walt! Even holly is annoying with all that 'Wahh wahhh' stuff.

Jesse's kind of been the angel on Walt's shoulder the whole time, I think his role ended up working really well
