Poor Jesse, I do believe that at his core he's not a bad person, he might be a little stupid: he's just made one bad decision after another, he might have steered in some awfully moronic directions, but he never really got to do anything truly horrible. OK, he's making poison that somebody else is going to take, but he's not making them do it. I mean, I don't think he even thinks about it. I repeat, he's a little thick but when push comes to shove, he shows more compassion than MOST of the other characters in the show. Remember that scene with the seriously creepy junkie parents and how he treated the little boy, how he was horrified at what he saw (and remember what he was supposed to do there!), I bet you, he was totally the sweetest person ever to handle that poor kid... Ever since Jane died he might somehow, even unconsciously, feel responsible (at least partly) and that has made him kinda bitter and a little cynical: trying to sell to recovering addicts... until he realizes the girl also has a little boy, and so he can't f*** her over! See? He's not a bad person, I think he has a big bleeding heart. That's why the last scene of season 3 f'in breaks my heart: up to now others are the ones that have seriously injured or even killed somebody (INCLUDING Walt!) He didn't mean for Jane to fall back into drugs, nor did he want her to die... But here we are witnessing the downfall of Jesse, there's no return from this, in doing so he's killing something inside himself too. Kudos to Aaron Paul, you made me feel like somebody slapped me hard, with an anvil, and that god-awful clutch in my heart...
