And finished it

I have been at three last episodes since two months but I didn't want it to end and Pinkman was getting to my nerves so kept pushing it, but damn what a show.

Hopefully I will enjoy Better Call Saul too, but it won't be the same without WW.

WW and Jesse are rumored to make appearances in BCS at some point after the first season.

Re-watching season one, on the last episode. Everything about it is brilliant. This will be my first time rewatching it, so i'm picking up on a lot of things i missed first time around. But the chemistry (no pun intended) between Walt & Jesse is among the best i have ever seen on television.

I have been re-watching the show and since the first time I saw it, I was extremely biased with WW I wanted to be as pragmatic as possible and try to understand the other characters points of views especially towards Walter and his behaviour. I had a good chance to really take off my WW glasses and see but no matter how, I end up sympathising with him again. For example mid way season 3 when Jesse wanted to cook alone in the RV and Hank was watching him on the clock, Walter got him out of trouble. Jesse got beat by Hank, where was Walter at fault there? He really stood for him (for both of them) but Jesse was really upset and wanted nothing to do with Walt again. Walter brings him back in and gives him a cut of the Gustavo money, what happens then? He wants revenge on Combo and while he was going to get himself shot by two drug dealers, it was again Walter that saved his life.

That is the turning point though which made Gustavo against Walter, I will continue season 4 as I have been watching but I am really failing not to sympathise with WW.

Then about Skyler, well I could go on forever, I understand her fear and her stand point but in the end she is just being stubborn and refusing to trust her husband.

WW is the underdog that changed due to desperate crazy life affirming circusmtances, but its undeniable that he turned into a manipulative semi psychopath criminal mind later on.

Yeah, I don't understand why you'd sympathize with him at all in the later episodes. WW starts out as an ordinary man entering the drug world. At the very beginning at least he looks human, frail and as if he has way too much moral fiber to be in those situations. At the end of the series he's full blown psychopath and you realise the world would be better off with him dead. In fact, that's what I thought was great about it, usually you sympathize way too much with the protagonist. This time it starts out like that, but you end up resenting him.

I will see how it develops, I remember sympathising a lot with Jesse by the end of season 5 but where did it switch? Because so far his manipulative acts, convincing Jesse to get back to cooking, the way he dealt with Gustavo in the beginning and even convincing Jesse to shoot Gale one is still siding with him. It is really interesting to say the least to watch the series again, I am laughing more than I did before and I have more time to look at details.
