I love how his character has developed. At first, it was out of desperation, but now it's becoming more determination. Excited to finish up S4 soon.
If thats the case, I cant wait.

Finished S4 last night. My god.

Can not fucking wait for S5. By far my favorite TV show right now... Hell, perhaps ever.

I finally started watching the show when AMC started their replaying of all the episodes. I kept meaning to watch it, but always got sidetracked. I have 4 episodes left in Season 4, actually just finished the Bug, where Jessie beats the crap out of Walt. My God is it an awesome show. I knew it was good, but damn.

The acting, writing, and way it is shot are all really good.
Can't wait for Season 5.

Gatorade me bitch!

Got into this show last week actually. It was over 100 several days so I stayed in the apartment and my roommate has all of it on his Apple TV. Just started season 3. Can't wait to get fully caught up.

So, I finished Season 4 last night. Holy shit, what a finale. I knew that someone was going to die, but damn. The way it happened was awesome.
The ending with the flower pot had me just speechless.

Can't wait for July 15.

I still can't picture Jesse without seeing him as the stoner fuck in van Wilder. But he's awesome on the show.

I have a feeling this season will be disappointing.

I don't, but fear it. Season 4 ended so highly, that it could be the jump the shark moment in the series.

Bryan Cranston said this is the craziest season yet.

It hasn't disappointed me at all through 4 seasons... doubt the 5th will either.

That's going to eat at Walt, Hank being the hero for Walt's actions. I have a feeling something will happen like what did when Gale was killed and Walt put it in Hank's head that the cook might still be out there.

^^^

I'd be very disappointed if that's the writers' route. They've already gone down that road before with Walt's ego getting the better of him. And even if Hank was right regarding Gus, Hank's actions re Jesse should (in reality) prevent him from having any real power going forward.

I really hope this doesn't become Season 5 of The Wire, but the writers need to be on their A game to get 12-16 episodes out of the end of season 4.

Just finished Season 4. Awesome. For some reason I felt like it was Walter all along who had a plan to get Jesse on his side. I guess I didnt "know" but when it was revealed I wasnt surprised if that makes sense.

Cant wait for Season 5.

Gus was trying to manipulate Jesse to kill Walt, but Walt ended up manipulating Jesse against Gus and killed Gus by using his hatred for Hector against him.

I thought it was really well done. For some reason, I believed Walt during his plead to Jesse while being held at gun point.

The character development of Walt and the "anti-hero" he's become is just fucking awesome. At first, it seemed to be desperation, but as time has gone it seems he's become more determined.

Oh it was awesome. Writers are incredible. To pull a plot like Season 4 and have it be slower developing, yet NEVER get boring is amazing. The final plotline was a good 4-5 episodes long and was constant edge of your seat.

I guess I believed Walt as well, but mostly about the cigarette. For some reason, and I dont know when it was, in the last few episodes I said to myself, "that fucker is playing them all...". Such a good show. Im still in awe of the writing of Season 4.

737 Down Over Albuquerque... Pretty awesome foreshadowing.
