He owed Jesse for the whole drug contacts.
Jesse was easy to control.
More importantly, he's the perfect jester character to create drama in Walter's organized life. Great comedy and tragedy.
The brain-dead junkie cunt pissed me off the whole series. I would have killed him day one. Made 80 million dollars and everything would have gone better than expected.
Fpbp
A large chunk of the series was Walt scrambling around trying to clean up the messes Jesse constantly made. Should’ve let Gus put a bullet in his head.
His real son was a disappointment and for all of Jesse's many flaws he was ambitious and driven enough to learn how to make crystal meth even though from what Walt says he always sucked at Chemistry
I always wonder how much of S1 was re-written after RJ Mitte was cast
I can’t remember Walt showing anything but love towards his son. No resentment, not even frustration despite Walt jr’s handicaps. His relationships with his son was his greatest virtue IMO
Genuinely correct, and it gives insight into Walt’s character and flaws. He says he just wants money for his family, but he could have walked away anytime in season 2 with plenty for them. And Jesse would have been the perfect patsy to pin it on. But he didn’t because he was proud of his drug empire. Likewise, he was proud of Jesse and wouldn’t give up his prized meth-cooking student.
I just finished watching this show for the first time and seriously fuck Jesse, it really feels like they only kept him around because their opposite personalities made for good conflict
Actually I don't think he ever got around to killing that lady at the school with the fat ass so he never did kill "anyone who he's worked with."
There's also >gretchen and elliot >todd >jesse >every other member of staff and all the students from when he was a chemistry teacher >badger and skinny pete >skyler
He also "worked with" his son's disability for 16 years but I don't recall junior ever walking without the crutches, so he certainly didn't kill the cerebral palsy
He was absolutely 100% correct in doing so because he was working in a business where any loose end might be your undoing. Instead of believing himself not to be a loose end he made himself irreplaceable instead, Gus never wanted to work with Walter, he never respected Walter and would've jumped to replace him first chance he got.
assuming everything went to plan and walt died without anyone finding out he was a meth cook what was his family expected to do with a pile of untaxed drug money?
He was a huge moron >Getting my ex to pay for my cancer treatment BAD >Start cooking meth, getting in cahoots with insane and dangerous criminals and losing my family GOOD
>made him a cuck
Worth the conveniences it would’ve brought in his situation. He was just getting started when he had the chemotherapy and surgery, the millions came later, and less lying to the family
His only problem was that he didn’t kill Jesse. Nothing would have gone wrong if he didn’t cook with that retard.
Jesse was his comedic folly.

He treated Jesse as his son. I don’t understand why because he was often such a pain to deal with and Jesse was a grown man anyway.

The original plan was for jesse to die in season 1, I wonder how the rest of the series would have went after that.

True, Gus was eager to work with him before Jesse showed up high to their meeting. That's what set the enmity in motion.
He was secretly gay

>IF YOUD JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH COOKED AND LET GUS KILL YOU AND JESSE AND REPLACE YOU WITH GALE I WOULD BE FINE RIGHT NOW
Why did Gus want to kill Walt again? Couldn’t Walt just have finished the three month gig and retire
Narcasism but to be fair to the guy everyone he killed had it coming
assuming everything went to plan and walt died without anyone finding out he was a meth cook what was his family expected to do with a pile of untaxed drug money?
So what episode is it revealed he's alive and makes a new identity?
He was a huge moron
>Getting my ex to pay for my cancer treatment BAD
>Start cooking meth, getting in cahoots with insane and dangerous criminals and losing my family GOOD
That's right, he did it because it was fun, made him feel alive and some pride.
The family thing was fucking bullshit.
To be fair he admitted this was the case in the end
my ex to pay for my cancer treatment BAD
This was stupid yeah. Would’ve simplified things for him, and saved a ton of money obviously
It would have made him a cuck though and effectively the same as being dead
>made him a cuck
Worth the conveniences it would’ve brought in his situation. He was just getting started when he had the chemotherapy and surgery, the millions came later, and less lying to the family
Better to rule in hell than serve in heaven.
