So far I've been able to overlook a few nonsensical twists and turns in the last couple of seasons. For example, on account of Walter's unequivocal, extreme, and unexplained devotion to his so called partner Jesse, they both become cold-blooded murderers. That's a bit much. Also, Gus, a perspicacious and overly cautious businessman, would probably 'deal' with the Jesse problem long before things get out of hand, and Walter would have no choice but to work with him anyway. Why Gus puts up with Jesse is baffling.
For the first time though, in episode 4.5, Walter really caught me off-guard, and not in a nice way, but more in a wtf-that's-not-like-Walter way. After all the trials and tribulations he's been through, in order to secure his and Jesse's job at Gus's lab, and to ensure his family's safety, one would expect him to celebrate at the news that Hank is dropping the case. Apparently though, Walter's pride is so humongous, that he sends Hank back after Heisenberg. Regardless of how you look at this, it just doesn't make any sense. On one hand Walter would kill (really) to buy himself time and safety, on the other hand he gets bored when the DEA isn't after him.
Is Walter schizophrenic by any chance? (and no, a few glasses of wine don't make a person schizophrenic)
P.S. This show is now officially in dire need for a little "Game of Thrones" character 'reconstruction'. I'm not saying kill off half of the main characters, like George R.R. Martin likes to do (which makes for a great show btw because it keeps you on your toes), but at least raise the stakes to some extent, for crying out loud. At least one main character should kick it. Jesse is the obvious choice. He would have been killed off in season 1 anyway, if it wasn't for the Writer's strike.
