I'm glad I watched it that way, because I was still emotionally invested in the series. This entire movie was about what happened to Jessie the night Walt died. <br /><br />Yes Jessie was so happy to be out of that wretched place and rightly so, but then reality kicks in. Jessie is a man on the run and he needs to get out of dodge. I loved his old friends Badger and Skinny Pete helping him. I never liked Badger until he was telling his own Star Trek story to Pete in a previous episode. It was so silly and earnest, so endearing. Skinny Pete was always a chill dude. They were good friends to Jessie, when he needed them most. <br /><br />Watching the flashbacks of what happened to Jessie was HEARTBREAKING. The fact that he didn't kill himself is amazing. I think many people would have said bump it and blew themselves up. He had the knowledge, but his will somehow kept him going. Amazing.<br /><br />The part where he tried to get the man to help him disappear made me laugh. The part where he decided to not rob his parents made me cheer. I am disappointed that I actually thought the Kandy guy would be human and help him. I was so wrong, but at least Jessie got the money. <br /><br />The last bit when he had his new identity and was remembering Jane just did me in. The scars on his face and watching all the hell, the losses he suffered so moved me. I am not a person that cries easily, not in my real life and certainly not watching a tv show/movie. I bawled. Goodbye Jessie and good on you.Nonamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611477624834853472noreply@blogger.com
