The self loathing and crushing guilt thing with Jesse is not exactly new and it didn't change when Walt gave him $5 million. |

The way I see it from his point of view is - If he starts a new life for himself with all that money, he'll forever be reminded of the awful things he did and was associated with whenever he spends that money or enjoys the rich lifestyle. So he figures there's no point. Eventually I predict he'll come to realize that he's never going to forget what's occured with or without the money, and he'll face a crossroads. Either kill himself or try to do the right thing and blow the lid off Walt and the whole operation/history of the operation, along with everything else that's gone down. So basically turn himself in and give the DEA the whole story, or kill himself. Or both. |

Pretty fun read:
http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2013/08/wha...ive-years-ago/ What Did The Critics Say About ‘Breaking Bad’ Before It Premiered Five Years Ago? Written by Dustin Rowles / 08.15.13 When you have what many consider to be the greatest television series of all time going into its final seven episodes, it’s amusing to look back and see what the critics were saying about the series before Breaking Bad gained its place in American television history. I mean, nobody knew obviously what Breaking Bad would become, and anyone that watches it (except for THIS guy) understands that it’s only gotten better over its five season. It’s understandable if critics, at the time, were somewhat hesitant about Breaking Bad: Recall, that it was only the second series on AMC (after Mad Men) and that it came out during the height of Weeds, which relies on a vaguely similar premise. I know I’ve been watching it since it debuted (in the month of January, no less, which seems weird for a show so associated with the summer now), but I couldn’t tell you what I thought of it after the premiere. Thanks to the Internet, however, we can at least look back at some of the early reviews (including Alan Sepinwall’s) to see what critics thought of the show at the time. NONE of them knew what was to come. A modest review from the New York Times, noting that it’s “a hard slog” and not as good as Mad Men. It also draws comparisons to Weeds: Quote:

I do agree that Breaking Bad wasn't the best name and was clumsily justified in the show.

I think the title Breaking Bad is pretty perfect, and I understood exactly why it was titled that after viewing the first episode.
As far as the reviews, I can see how some critics might not have praised it after the first couple of episodes. The show didn't really grip me right away either. In fact, I watched the first 2 episodes and then took about a month before I got back into it. I started watching the show probably around the time season 2 was airing. My friend got me into watching it. But it just got soooo much better over time and hasn't let up. |

I was loving the show from the start, but then again, it had been on for a couple seasons and I had heard how amazing it was, so I can't claim to have been ahead of the curve or anything.

Hank is going to realize that if Walt is busted, so is Skyler.
Hank's wife will be devastated, his nephew and niece will be left parentless, etc. Walt was right....... |
