I don't think there'll be much left by the start of season 5, and we'll all be rooting for Hank to catch him and Jesse to survive and live free from Gus and the rest of the drug world.<br /><br />Billie, the white tee Jesse was wearing was a Steve Aoki shirt. He's a famous DJ. He actually came perform at my school's homecoming this year.<br /><br />The video game that Jesse was playing is in fact real. Rage is an "on-rails" first person shooter developed by John Carmack's iD software, the company that revolutionized gaming with Wolfenstein 3D, the first successful FPS back in the early 90s. Without it we wouldn't have Call of Duty and so many other franchises.

The show has spent so much time this season showing how absolutely devastated Jesse is by what he did to Gale. He's utterly haunted and desperately needs there to be consequences for his actions. But everyone just acts like it is no big deal. Even worse, Walt asked him to do it again.<br /><br />And the thing is, I don't really remember Walt going through this after his first kill. He killed Krazy 8, and instead of crushing him, it empowered him. And even Jane's death doesn't seem to bother him that much. She posed a threat, so he eliminated that threat. Even after the universe dropped a plane on his house to tell him what a sh** he is, he stopped himself from burning the money and stood in that gym and acted like the crash was no big deal. Hey, it could have been worse, right? Walt is a detestable human being, and I think I well and truly hated him at this point in the season. For what he's done to Hank and Marie. For what he's done to Skylar, Junior, and Holly. And most especially for what he's done to Jesse. That young man still has a heart and some innate decency. He has the potential to be a good human being if he can get out of this life, but I'm desperately afraid Walt will destroy him.<br /><br />But, Hank? So awesome! The final scene where he lays out all he's learned for the DEA was wonderful. It's nice to have at least one person on the show we can genuinely root for without having to feel too much guilt. Even though Hank's done terrible things, he's repented and paid a terrible price, and it has been wonderful to see him coming back into his own.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.com
