If Walt really thought Jesse would do this then why wouldn't he just kill him like he did countless others who became a threat to him?
Walt has stuck his neck out time and time again for Jesse. He has manipulated him along the way, yes, but with the exception of poisoning Brock has he really done anything to anyone that didn't deserve it in some way?
So?
Maybe you missed the scene where, after being given multiple chances to leave town and smooth things over, Jesse delivers a threat down the phone to Walt?
And haven't you been watching Breaking Bad long enough to know that this show doesn't really telegraph it's punches? What are the chances that Walt's call to Todd involves something else other than Jesse being killed?
You don't know that. He may have had the gun for his own protection.
The whole point of the episode was to show that Walt, despite manipulating Jesse, genuinely cares for him and understands him almost as well as his own son. Look at his reaction to Skylar bringing it up (which in itself shows how far her character has regressed) and the fact that despite the creepy guy hanging around Walt actually did want to talk to Jesse and explain why he poisoned Brock.
Why?
Uh yeah, how did Mike deserve to die? Walt killed Mike simply because he damaged Walt's ego. Then Walt killed 9 guys to save his own skin. How is that not being a merkin?
And uh, you can't just say 'with the exception of poisoning Brock'. That one act makes him the biggest merkin on the show (okay not the biggest overall but of the major characters he is the biggest).
Leave town? Why should Jesse have to leave town? The only reason he was leaving town was for Walt. Jesse not leaving town doesn't make him the bad guy.
Yeah he had the gun for his own protection, but why have it if he wasn't okay with killing Jesse or at least wounding him? I didn't say he had it just to execute Jesse on the spot.
Yeah, Walt cares about Jesse, but since he was perfectly okay with poisoning someone Jesse loved, it's clear he doesn't care about him very much.
And if you don't know how Walt's a merkin then you haven't been watching the show. His whole development has been how he's gone from hero to anti-hero to full blown villain protagonist (aka merkin).
And the kid being killed being Jesse's fault is you just grasping for straws. If Todd thinks killing a child is what Jesse meant than he's the biggest f**kwit on the show. Todd was trying to do right by Jesse and Walt but that doesn't make him any less of a f**kwit. It's a kid ffs and he's a child murderer. Or did you miss the part how Jesse screamed at Todd not to shoot the damn kid?
And me saying Todd was a dick was a joke. My post was clearing a parody of umina panther's post. For someone who finds it funny how I defend Walking Dead you take my criticisms of Walt waaaaayyy too seriously.
