Season 5: Episode 16, Felina

Walt acted out in the same smartly way that got him to his rise to power. He executed every goal that needed to be done before he can say he was done. This gave me a sense of being proud of him. In a show where Walt dove in and out of being the bad guy and good guy, I ended up with the happy ending feeling. Watching him dead on the floor with a smile on his face ended the show with a smile on mine as well. It made me feel concurrent with his feeling of not having done it all for nothing. Heisenberg is still my friend that was just trying to make things better. Everything else leading up to this moment affected how I felt as a whole. This last moment brought me right back to assurance that he was doing the right thing. My mood got happier. Then again every time there is a happy ending, the same thing happens. I give nothing but encouragement to Walt to do what he had to do. He may have been misunderstood, but as long as he believed, he would have come out on top like he did. For Jesse, all that trying to do the good thing finally caught up to him. He escaped and that same feeling of laughing while crying of happiness and relief was going through me as well. I felt like Jesse was the brother that made better of a shitty situation. Jesse had the opportunity to kill Walt, but him being a good dude let him see the benefit of letting it go and having the opportunity to leave it all behind. This made me feel proud. Almost like a mentor that can give me an example of how to live my life. Just by doing the best I can and hoping for the best. My advice would be to go get Brock and live a happy life. No more meth. And I think he'll be alright. Image result for Jesse pinkman final scene

Season 5: Episode 15, Granite State

This episode showed the demise of the power of Walt. Walt went from the crazy of last episode to showing his eminent vulnerability. When he is in the room with Saul and is commanding him to stay with him, you start to feel the pity. The sickness is catching up along with the limiting of options. I can't do anything but hope he turns himself in not only for the sake of himself but for his family. Looking at all that he is doing to leave his family out to dry is disgraceful. It made me give Walt the, what are you doing, man, thought. It left me with no sympathy until he gets to the cabin where he has to stay by himself. This was a good way to throw a drastic change into how you can feel towards a person. From downright disappointed with this guy to, damn, he shouldn't be living like this. To the point where he has to ask the guy who brought him there to stay with him for ten thousand dollars more only for an hour when he asked for two makes you feel extra pity. Come to think of it, this episode is a roller coaster ride of emotions to be felt towards Walt. It finishes of with him angered with revenge, and gives you the feeling to tell him to not do anything stupid. Whats the point? Jesse once again did something stupid. He almost got away with it too, but of coarse he didn't. If all he had done was keep cooking for the nazis, his lady would have been fine. As soon as they killed her, I felt my heart get heavy though because they did it right in front of Jesse. Thats some foul stuff. Karma doesn't seem to be catching up to Jesse in any way. I still get the feeling of hopelessness whenever something happens in his life. I feel bad for the guy. If anything, his situations have given me the idea that karma may not be real. I don't even know what to say to him anymore. I predict that some more bad things will happen to Jesse, he can't catch a break. 

Season 5: Episode 14, Ozimandias

Walt went off the walls this episode. He got Hank killed, Gomez killed, Jesse is being tortured by the nazis, and he lost his money. He threatened his wife and stole their child. All of this has me wanting to go out and find Heisenberg once and for all myself. This was the final breakdown to the life Walt was never supposed to be a part of. Throughout this whole series i've never thought of Walt as negative as I do right now. None of the people he is affecting deserve any of this. His Wife, Son, Daughter, Sister in law. This episode has gotten me angry. It greatly altered my attitude toward Walt in the way that he should have been dead a long time ago. I don't want nothing to do with Heisenberg. It affected my behavior and attitude in a way that its showing me how valuable it is to live an honest life. I would like to give Walt the advice to smarten up. Nothing he is doing is going to end right, just give up already. Dude, you have resorted to kidnapping your daughter as a "move" to finish out on top. That is the absolute lowest for Walt even. I honestly don't know how he is going to react next episode to this advice. I don't want to be the one who say I told you so. And for Jesse, he tried to do the right thing and look what happened. I feel for this guy, he did all that he could. To top it off he is in the process of getting tortured and used by the nazis to cook meth, all while they threaten him with the well being of his lady and her child. Advice I want to give Jesse is to just keep doing the right thing and hopefully it would all work out. Just think about karma. 

Season 5: Episode 13, To' Hajiilee

In this episode, Walt behaved in a way that made it seem like the last straw has been placed on the camels back. He put the hit out on Jesse and the whole time you can tell it was hard for him to do. I knew that he didn't want to do it, but over all other intention Walt has, he just wants to make sure that his family is going to be alright. If he had ended up killing Jesse, it would have turned him into a complete monster and gangster. Aside from how he ran his empire, it was the bond he had with Jesse that really held his past separate from his now crown of drug dealer. It made me look at the whole situation as the final transformation to corruption. It made me think that this guy really will do whatever it takes to ensure safety and get his way. All this until he was faced with the fact of loosing and being arrested by Hank. I felt more sympathy for him as he told the hitmen to call off the hit, but also a sense of realization that he only wanted him dead for his reasons, not for no reason at all. It made me look at him like a purely selfish guy. Every one of these episodes makes me look at Walt in disgust. It put me in a bad mood when he calls the hit men, then tells them to forget about it. Walt wanted the hitmen to be involved, now of coarse they are going to get involved no matter what, there aren't any take backs in this game. Some criticism I would give Walt is that you reap what you sow. It was the greed of the power and amount of money that kept you in the game much longer than you had to, now it shall be the same things that take you out of the game. I believe that next episode Walt will act on a new set of awakenings. With how this episode ended in a shootout, and him himself in the cross fire, he is going to try and bow out thinking if this is really all that he wanted. I am eager to see how he is going to have to deal with those killer nazi guys and having to cook for them. 

Season 5: Episode 12, Rabid Dog

This episode starts off with Walt getting to his house and seeing that Jesse is there. As Walt goes all throughout his place it made me feel like I was watching a horror movie where you know its only a matter of time before someone gets killed. Each second and each door I was telling Jesse to do it now. When it turned up that he wasn't even in the house, I was left on a cliff. Walt is a smart guy though and will do anything to cover up his story. When he gets the carpet cleaned and locks fixed right away and that is still not enough to fix the scene, I just sat back and waited to see what kind of story he was going to come up with this time. When he tells Skylar and Junior about the junk with the gas pump, I couldn't help but chuckle. It was all so dumb it made sense. If I was around the block, I would be able to smell the shit that was coming out of his mouth. What affected me most was when Junior gets upset and tells him to stop lying, but because he thinks that he actually fainted instead. This got me in the feels because he knows its obviously all bullshit, but since all the lies are starting to pile up on Walt, he thinks that it all has to do with his cancer. The fact that this kid loves his dad so much, and his dad only keeps lying and putting on a face to him everyday is upsetting. It keeps adding to the makeup of Walts character and makes him more and more of a bad guy to me. This makes my attitude towards him shift to wanting him to get arrested once and for all, even maybe worse. When Jesse is with Hank and the try to incriminate Walt at the square, I could't help but think, finally. Of coarse though, Jesse maybe doesn't do something dumb, but second guesses and thinks of a better plan. I was right there in the car with Hank and Jesse, just waiting to see what plan had come up that was going to be better. Any advice I have for any of them is to get ready, nobody better go out without a bang. They were planning to kill you, go actually do it to them. 

Season 5: Episode 11, Confessions


In this episode, Walt gets deep with his manipulations and Jesse is on the brink. The start of the episode shows the true respect that Jesse has for his peers and the limit to which it continuously gets tested by Saul and Walt. When he is getting interrogated by Hank about Walt, he should have just turned him in, he would have been a free man and would have gotten his revenge. When Jesse is about to leave town and get a new identity at the request of Walt, I felt a sigh of relief that he was finally going to be over and done with everything because if someone deserves that, its Jesse. He's always done right by everybody, but everybody doesn't do right by him. He's gone through hell and the worst of it. When he finds that they took his ricin cigarette from him and he rushes back to Saul and then to burn Walt's house down, I was cheering him on. Walt's had it coming for a while, why couldn't Jesse see the sinister we see in him. It has taken all this damn time. The whole episode until Jesse rushes to the house is a drag for him. You feel his pain of hopelessness and sense that he doesn't even know what to really do anymore. I'm egging him on to burn Walt's house down and set things right in the universe and put Walt where he belongs, underground. Walt in this episode is crazy. How he can keep lying to his family is crazy. How he can threaten Hank with that video is crazy but smart. No matter what is said about Walt, you can't say he was dumb. The way he gave money for Hanks hospital bills is genius, Hank is now an accomplice or associated in some way. When he acted out that confession on video, it made me think of how insane you have to be to lie to such degrees to save your own life. But damn that was smart. The ways he lies to Skylar about the degrees to which he is involved with the drugs are insane. It makes me look at Heisenberg as more of a monster than ever, more than before all the dirty drug stuff he was doing was going on. He has her to the point where she is almost numb to the lies and is floating along to get by through the days hoping that it may get better. This is no position fit for a man to have their woman. Walt pisses me off. To Jesse I say, do what you got to do and make those that owe you pay. To walt I say, you are digging a hole my friend, be careful. Something tells me not much will change next episode.
