    Walt didn't just watch her die, he turned her on her back.

    I don't see the problem with Jesse being depressed. He blames himself for her death and a fucking plane crash that killed a lot of people.

    Although he didn't do it on purpose, Walt basically killed her.

    Having not seen the last 2 episodes, reading the latest posts in this thread is really tempting. It's calling me.....

    But I can't do it.

    Walt shook Jesse to wake him up and Jane was sort of forced to lay on her back.

    Why the fuck not? Last week's episode was arguably one of the best episodes of any show...ever.

    Jane carefully set up the cushions so they wouldn't end up on their backs and Walt screwed it up when he tried to wake Jessie.

    Although he didn't intend to move Jane, he put her on her back and decided to let her die when his problem with her seemed to solve itself.

    I get where you're coming from, but taking your comments cumulatively, I have to disagree with you on this one. Haha, the 'Friday the 13th' comment. Incidental, but still close...yet so far. The Cousin's reaction to being shot was ripped directly from John Carpenter's 'Halloween'. As in Michael Meyers getting blasted by Donald Pleasence. DEFINITELY on purpose. HolyJesusGod, I love this show.

    The Cousins are indeed a cinematic cliche, but also on purpose. They're meant to be caricatures. They're practically cartoons, for God's sake, but had the duo not been broken up when it was, it would have become a parody of itself and been completely ruined. The coming attractions showed that the Cousin Hank pinned with his SUV is STILL ALIVE, and it completely suspends my disbelief.

    Hailing back to the opening episode when they were crawling through the desert to the shrine of Santa del Muerte, there he is crawling down the hospital hallway on two bloody stumps for legs. Slithering like a snake as a matter of fact, presumably in the same hospital as Hank. Woo-hoo, can't wait until 10:00 (rubs hands together). This show dominates.

    The only quibble I've had so far is why is that Jesse's phone calls aren't being traced? Not only that, he talks to Walt on his cell all the time, and especially since Jesse is no stranger to the police precinct... Unless I missed something. I can't imagine the writers would leave that big a hole - because that's pretty damn big.

    P.S.: Other things I love about this show: Word Play and Symbolism, and of course, black humor abounds. Everywhere. Pinkman (pink meth), White (Walter isn't the least bit pure), Saul Goodman (I think Saul means guardian - "Better call Saul!", and Goodman! HAHAHA, he's one of the most fantastic sc*mbags to ever hit celluloid). Also, anyone notice that everything was shot in purples and blacks to reflect Jesse's bruises last week? Awesome.

    Hehe. I assumed he was going down the hallway, but the hospital room floor, good enough. And not for Hank, towards good ole Heisenberg. He would have gone for Hank, but not enough time. Buenos Noches, mi primo.

    Talk about badass, Gus is the man. Got rid of all of his enemies in one fell swoop. You knew even before he showed up at the hospital that the surviving Cousin was done. Giancarlo Esposito is doing a great turn. Beware The Chicken Man. :breakdance:

    The writers actually did a good job of covering the cell phones.

    Walt has a disposable cell phone (I am guessing it works like a Trac phone) that he uses to call Jessie. This is a major plot device as Skyler left Walt when she found out about the second phone.

    Saul and Gus have also been seen destroying similar phones before any calls can be traced to them.

    Also, Walt has the cover that he used to by medicinal marijuanua from Jessie. This explains the couple phone calls to the house. Jessie was also a former srudent of Walt's.

    In his lab suit Jessie looked like the blow fish that he is.

    Too much time wasting B.S. in last nights episode. Jesse in the Lab, family in the hospital...
    too much filler, not enough killer.


    Though to the above point, Gus getting rid of the trash was great.

    "I See You" was the episode's title...

    Have you ever waited for news in the ICU? It almost feels like clocks are stopped - time moves so slowly.

    Some of you think this is an action show and it's clearly not.

    Another great episode, although it wasn't quite as good as the past two that was pretty much impossible anyways. If Hank lives, I'm starting to think how long it's gonna take form him to figure out it was Walt.

    The part where the cousin that lived for awhile saw Walt and his pulse spiked and he crawled out of bed was fucking awesome.

    "The Federales!" I like how they use flashbacks all the time. Remember when Don Salamanca said something like, "Never do with business with South Americans. Dirty people." I don't think he meant dirty pool, but no matter. Gus got everyone. The patience of a Saint. Heh.

    I got all of that. I guess I should have been more specific - which I wasn't. I was talking about when Jesse talked to Walt from his hospital room after his beating. Yep, Saul breaks phones, Gus, et al, they all break and toss phones, but it just seemed a little off to me that Hank had been mentioning Jesse by name when he was trying to track down the RV and I hadn't seen Jesse chuck any. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he was on a red cell when he led Hank to the RV and he was also on a red cell when he called Walt from the hospital. Maybe all the phones he trashes happen to be red and I was taking a wiz or something. Anyway,
    minor as opposed to major, I guess.
