"Is Walt manipulating Jessie?" The answer is always yes.

2025-02-23 02:07:08 +0000 UTCThe more I watch the show, the more I like Gale. However, he was still in this world, even though he wasn't out on the streets killing or distributing to the junkies; and was working for some dangerous people. And he, like Walt, got into all this of his own volition, so while he didn't deserve to be killed like that, it was always a possibility something like that could happen.

2024-12-13 00:48:34 +0000 UTCI donβt think Jessie did that purely out of spite. He meant what he was saying, and was genuinely asking about βacceptanceβ

2023-11-02 00:14:37 +0000 UTCThe analogy still fits, because Gale was causing problems for them without any of them actually being his own fault.

2023-11-01 12:37:35 +0000 UTCThe game "Rage" was release around the time this season aired. It was used in the show because of a promotion deal with id Software, the developers of that game. I've never played it, but from what I've read, there are several Breaking Bad easter eggs in the map that was used for this clip. The real game is not playable with a lightgun, though.

2023-11-01 12:36:30 +0000 UTCIn my opinion, in the Jesse's speach of "Problem Dog," the central idea is that everyone at rehab and the NA group kept preaching the concept of coming to terms with past events and accepting the errors and mistakes so you can move on with it. While this notion of acknowledging our experiences is certainly valid, and so the idea of acceptance alone is what Jesse criticizes. By this point in his life, he's evolved into a killer, but he refuses to treat this aspect of himself as an inherent and acceptable part of who he is. Jesse rejects the idea that human lives are expendable in the grander scheme of things. He doesn't seek to absolve his guilt through mere acceptance to transform into a remorseless killer. Instead, he wants for the NA group to confront his guilt and anger directly, not as something he's come to terms with and brushed aside. Furthermore, he asks for the NA group to rightfully hold him accountable for his acts of murder and using them as costumers, rather than passively viewing him as a victim of addiction who must move past his pain. And he didn't meant to compare Gail to a dog, is just the only analogy that he found to make the NA group to understand what he did without turning himself in.

2023-11-01 06:44:58 +0000 UTCThe weight of the world and all the choices Walt makes fall on Jesse's shoulders to bare. I dont blame or judge Jesse at all for how he lashes out, I'd be giving the world the metaphorical middle finger as well. You go Jesse. Be angry, let it out, you don't owe anybody a damn explanation. Jesse is a beat dog. He needs love. Vee, a lot of this goes over your head sometimes and you get mad for the wrong reason at the wrong people in this show. You clearly misunderstand how Jesse feels. He was comparing gale to a dog literally because its a metaphor or else he would be just openly admitting he killed somebody. This isnt rocket science.

2023-11-01 05:43:55 +0000 UTCJesse is def loyal, particularly--and tragically--to people who know how to manipulate his emotions, Walt being the prime example. While its certainly wrong for Jesse to lash out at the meeting leader, I think he's attacking himself more than anyone else. He's currently at his lowest point--or second lowest, as the party phase was probably the worst--and he just can't handle the emotions he is feeling. He absolutely has not developed a taste for killing; it repulses him and he hates himself for it. Unlike Walt, who shortly after killing Krazy 8 returned to business as usual. I dont think he used the dog analogy as an insult to Gale. It was simply the only way for him to talk about what happened. He's been so self destructive recently, with his prime symptom being that he bottled everything up. It was only a matter of time before he needed some kind of release, resulting in his Problem Dog speech and subsequent outburst. Jesse now has this self-inflicted wound that will never heal, and he knows it. Out of all of the big players--Walt, Gus, Mike, Saul--Jesse is the one who fits in the least. He's simply not made for this life, seeing as he thinks with his heart first and his brain second.

2023-11-01 02:09:26 +0000 UTCJesse's problem dog speech could be his best acted scene from the whole series. It definitely trumps his hospital mental breakdown scene in 0307. I thought the acting was inferior to this scene but it mostly had to do with the situation he was in. As a character he was being irrational and emotional in the hospital and not thinking clearly the show lets us know that because immediately after they show a mood chart next to him and then he changes his mind. It's weird how and when societies draw the line of what is & isn't acceptable. It feels oddly familiar in that sense. Jesse did cross a line bringing up his daughter though. Plus that was a manslaughter case not a murder case....

2023-11-01 01:47:32 +0000 UTCYeah, Jesse's a mess. Better to blow off steam at a meeting then blow it off with crystal though. And the cigarette, that's like a "thing" that some smokers do. Every pack, they flip over one and call it their lucky cigarette then smoke it last.
