Am I the only who feels really bad for Jesse moreso than Walt. At least after the first few episodes. He's not the smartest kid in the world, but it seems like he gets put in bad situations cause everyone just kinda craps on him. No matter what happens he always cuts it even - more fair to Walt than the other way around.
Some really bad, sad things happen to Jessie. He's always the one who ends up getting his ass kicked for the duo's exploits. Obviously he and Walt have a sort of father-son relationship going on. Jessie is impulsive and Walt recognizes that those impulses will get him and the business into trouble, but he's terrible at communicating with Jessie. He just tells him "absolutely not" or something like that which usually causes Jessie to go and do it anyway. In the end Walt does his best to protect Jessie, has his back, and vice versa.

Their whole dynamic is a lot of fun to watch and they're both incredibly good actors.
I agree that at the end of the day they are in it together and help each other. But Jessie points it out a few times, the whole thing that ended season 1 almost entirely on Walt. Having Jesse go 'deal with it'. The foreshadowing from the mariachi band - all on Walt.

Anyways, they are phenomenal actors. I don't understand why Skylar's still around. I hope he gets cured and the [expletive] leaves.

Anyways. I love the show but might end up watching all of the seasons in 8 days.

Episode 5 of Boardwalk Empire was great until Buscemi showed up at the door and face raped Margaret Schroeder. Did not buy that at all.

He should have had her go on the same boat ride as her husband. No snitches.

I don't mind that they hooked up- you could see it coming from a mile away. It was bound to happen at some point. Hell, I called it after the first episode.

What I mind is that they did it this early in the series. They're five episodes in. There was already a lot of tension. Milk that [expletive] out for more.

I agree on that. What I mean is that I don't want too see Steve Buscemi, as an actor, pulling tail, ever. It' gross.

A new show with David Cross and Will Arnett has got to be funny, right? Wrong.

The best part of the show is the Thunder Muscle website.

Will Arnett best taken in small doses.
