Breaking Bad: Season 4

4x09 Bug

I'm a little ashamed for it as I don't usually like to let my real life emotions affect my viewing experience, but I was very angry at Walt during the final scene...I swear he acts like Jesse's abusive dad every time they talk, always blowing up at him for the smallest mistake. Or when he doesn't do everything he says, exactly how he says it, even if it's impossible (like not poisoning a pot of food both he and his target are going to eat from). Meanwhile Jesse's going through a lot, mentally. Between Jane's death (that Walt caused), Gale's murder (which happened on Walt's orders), almost dying to a sniper, and now having to worry about preventing a huge war, Jesse's been through the ringer lately and Walt is just too - would "self-absorbed" be the right word? - something...to give him a damn break. I think I get it though, Walt's afraid of being killed and he put he last scrap of hope on Jesse poisoning Gus. But still.

@msochist yeah I felt bad when Walt started accusing him of not having an ounce of intention when he in fact nearly did it. Jesse feels so invalidated in these moments...
