Holy shit! He IS a murderer! This complicates things a tad.. can't imagine how they'll end the season with either Walt or Jesse being killed now.

As far as the episode went, the sit-down scenes with Mike and Gus were both amazing and saved the episode from a mediocre first 15 mins. (the Wendy montage thing was funny but a little out there this late in the game)

and yeah.. "...run" FTW!

Those scenes were so simple...yet so tense. Great acting, writing and directing during those scenes.

Like everyone else I did NOT see that coming for the ending of the episode. When Walt just executes that guy...holy shit that was badass!

am I the only one unhappy with that ending? that was the last thing I would have thought walt would do....especially the head shot.

I just laughed when it happened, I couldn't believe it. I guess I should expect random shit like this though :/

I don't think its random. Walt has demonstrated time and time again when pinned up against the wall he will do what he needs to do. Remember when he was Eisenberg? He took on Tuco. I think he isn't a superhero badass on a daily basis but when push comes to shove he is going to do what he needs to do. I thought that was a theme with Walt over the past couple of seasons.

What Walt needed to do was hit Jessie with his car.

or do nothing and let jesse get his ass killed. make everything easier for everyone

On some level Walt feels responsible for what has happened to Jessie. He let his meth-addicted gf die and brought him into the drug dealing world. So Walt feels like he needs to protect Jessie at all costs, even if its to a flaw.

Yes, Jessie was into drugs before he met Walt but never on this level.

Wow, things just got a whole lot more complicated. What the hell happens with Gus now? He needs Walt to cook, but he can't let this slide. Or can he? The two dealers whacked the kid, if that was done without approval I guess Gus can look the other way on it.

I don't know how things are going to proceed now, but I will say that if Jesse is ever disrespectful, flippant, or condescending to Walt again he deserves to have his neck snapped. The things Walt has done for him over 3 seasons now borders on ridiculous, especially with the stakes this high. I'm sick of that jackoff and his attitude toward Walt, it's his own fault he kept getting his ass kicked, he never knows when to shut up or back away.

Let's see what Walt has done for him so far.. Avenged Tuco for kicking his ass, saved his life in the desert, got him out of the crackhouse and into rehab, fired his lab parter who he had a great bond with, protected him from Gus, and now ran over and killed 2 men out in the open leaving him vunerable to all sorts of trouble with the law (that's just off the top of my head, I'm sure I missed a few more)... even if Jesse were his actual son I wouldn't believe the things he did for him.

Caught up on the past episodes last night. Couldn't stop watching. That final scene was something else. Zagged when I thought a zig was coming. Jessie is toast.
