14 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Walter continues on the edge. He is so desperate to make it on his own terms, and so deep into a criminal world, he has to basically push his goodness aside. His cancer is the boss right now and money is the only thing to counteract it. Of course, Walter could make a billion dollars and still lose the battle. In this sixth offering, he gets Jesse back in the game because his chemo is over a thousand dollars a session. There is no other way for him. When Jesse sells some of the meth and comes back with a few thousand dollars, he goes ballistic. This just isn't enough to wage the battle. So he pushes his young partner to deal with the kingpin and it leads to his being nearly beaten to death. Walter, who sees what he has brought on, acts alone. This is so intense. I have to be honest. I think this is a great show and yet it's like watching an accident. How is this going to play out? There are just no options.
