The way the writers flipped it is impressive...Jesse always had more street smarts...ya he was a slacker but they had him fuckin up too much and Walt being to much of a "cleaner" and that just wasn't plausible to me...Walt being in the dark and scared for his life makes way more sense...NOW is the time for his character to elevate and get gangster w/ his family being in danger...but in season 3 that shit just didn't make sense...was just too much of a stretch for me imo...I have a hunch tho Mike + Jesse gonna off Gus tho...it's got too personal even tho it's over now...and he's just too reckless...and I know Hank is not that slow...he GOTTA be suspecting Walt...cuz Walt is just too curious w/ the questions and shit...and I still not forgetting how he just upped and said W.W. then Walter White...not even as a joke...nigga said that shit straight as shit...show is on must-see status tho
Am hoping, Twin, that that gets revealled by the subtlety of Hank's looks & how he plays his brother in law against himself & his passed behavior;
I was screaming on his dedication to getting better & taking control in a passed post but that was right b4 drunk assed Walt put the battery back in his brother in law's back, talking that dumb shit @ the dinner table;
Spoke too soon as in the next epidsode, not only was kat walking/moving with better mobility through his drive & practice, he was meeting hith his boss @ the office with well thought out sceanrios, researched evidence & a levelheadedness that allowed him to get his thoughts & points across rather clearly

Walt's woke up the wolf in this fool.
I was trying to guise his temperment from yet another recovery bed when he was saying how he shouldn't be trying to rely on anyone else to help him do his job & be mobile;
maybe its by design to indirectly sick Hank on Gus on that controlling, p noid shit this fool has going on.

just like u said, a whole 180 from the Protector of Family Heisenburg or whatever name they came up with, doing all that gangsta shit but not knowing how to play his part when shit gets really real.
Now this fool's out of pocket for months, catching bad ones which have become straight comical like some WileyCoyote shit for his over emotional lack of forthought & premature words & actions - that Mike shit in the bar almost had me dive through the screen on him, talking like that
U thought THAT was funny.
I couldn't stop

every time they poked him after casually rolling up on duke outside of Jessie's crib with the cattle prod them jumped right into commercial like it was almost expected (because it IS!)
Walt started fucking up when his whole goal was to try to kill Gus. He was paranoid as shit. Meanwhile, we the audience and Jesse saw how raw Gus can be... Walt tried to get bold not knowing what this man is capable of.
Nor his part in the larger scheme of things - this fool couldn;t actually believe that someone was cooking without him or that anybody else even could cook

With all the cameras, I mean for real Walt?
Yeah... I think Walt started believing his own hype about being a tough guy until Gus killed that Mexican dude in front of him. Then he thought well fuck it I can still be the smarter guy and use Jesse as my killer, but that desert scene was the checking that Walt needed. He isn't needed to cook... Plus, if I can't kill you and keep your replacement then he'll get to you through your family. Funny part of it all is Walt's ego gave him this move. Jesse reached out to Walt for help cause Jesse didn't have faith in himself as a cook. If Walt had coached him... Jesse would have to tell Gus that they still need Walt, but Walt was too focused on losing control over Jesse to see the big picture. This was the ultimate test for Jesse as head cook and Walt's ego pushed Jesse torwards proving himself.
His out of control ego as a schoolteacher who was running shit in an out of the trunk operation should have cased once he saw the big conglormorate side of the game; his taking shit personal has his whole existance out of pocket in a game that cant afford that type of nonsense & doesnt need him to survive;
half the shit that has him stressing is already being handled by design but he's too emotional & out of control to slow shit down & even ask Jesse after apologizing to him as a man.
Jesse just bought Walt his life with the order Gus gave to him which is a fair deal; he now better think about any alterior motives for sicking Hank on Gus @ that dinner table other than bitchassness & ego or he truly wasnt thinking out the ramifications of his actions.

Waiting for Jesse to give him that laced cigarette or sprinkle that shit in his food or w/e ain't fuckin trying...what happened to gangster ass Walt watching bitches choke or running niggas down and buckin them in the head...or blowing up niggas in they own office and shit...fuck outta here...season 3 had niggas gassed behind Walt and the shit he was doing just didn't make sense...the way it is now makes sense...nigga ain't trying shit but to keep his ass alive and in the loop...the way the brother played him was priceless...treated him just like a worker...let's see how gangster he is now...Gus threatened to kill his fuckin infant babygirl...where gangster Walt now?
Still living in that small place in his mind after he basically killed him @ that dinner table that night & every point from there where he felt the need to validate himself without stacking successfully what had him maniacly screaming about in the floorboards of his house.
Other than what he's already paid for in full, everything else he's done he has nothing to show for it but barely his life.
& either that idiot Tim is paralyzed or dead, either way, he's done as he told Skylar, he's still up the creek when that 6long gets paid to the IRS.
She's also an idiot even more for talking all that recklesss shit inside that pussy's house as he easily could have been recording that shit to snitch on her or anything to take some pressure of of the bitch ass situation he created;
he is/was always capable of recreating being the type of asshole he is/was.
The bed is made for the Whites & only 'comedy' will ensue from here out.
peace
