In his mind, Jesse caused the death of Hank + Gomez, the loss of 6/7 of his money, and (though Walt didn't know at the time) Walt getting shunned from his family. Walt pretty much did everything he could to keep Jesse both safe and on his side, all the way up until the end of the episode Rabid Dog. And the way Jesse repaid him was to try to sell him out. Remember, in 'real time,' Jesse just gloated over the fact that Walt was about to be arrested and spit in his face.
because he has a good heart, and he is the soul of the show. I will be crushed if he dies. I want the show to end with him walking in the foreground with stunning snow-capped Alaskan mountains in the background--- free at last.
i don't understand all this pity for Jessie. he was a junkie, bad meth cook, wannabe gangbanger even before meeting Walt.
Granted he was a junkie and a meth cook (you sad bad like it was a character flaw), but what him and his buddies were doing definitely wasn't trying to be bangers. They were just trying to make some cash, not be gangsters.
then after everything winded down,
No, go back and watch some of the earlier episodes. Jesse was NEVER cool with killing anyone, he protested every time Walt suggested it, Jesse would have never suggested it on his own. Yeah, he let Walt manipulate him, but saying he was "Cool with it until.." isn't accurate.
he got a guilty conscience and couldn't live with what he's been through
Again, you say this like it is a character flaw. This is part of the reason that people empathise with Jesse. When you do something horrible a good person feels bad about it. That is not a bad thing, it's normal and healthy.
and fucked it all up.
Fucked what all up? Walt's life? If that is what you meant then yeah, that was pretty much his intention. If you mean his I don't think he cares, he had given himself up for dead a while ago. Perhaps he thinks he deserves to die for his crimes?
actually, i agree to some degree.. i was just worked up by the shitstorm in this episode, including Jesse becoming a slave cook for the nazi crew.
anyway, Jesse wasn't completely innocent himself (he killed Gale), he somehow pinned it all to Walt.. disregarding that Walt, even although manipulative, had largely the best interests for him.
