I normally like the sad puppy dog characters, but I must confess that by the time by season 5B I was kind of feeling like enough already, and I didn't always like how the writing felt quite calculated to me to make us constantly feel bad for Jesse and take his side, even though he was in just as deep as the rest of them. I mean yeah having more of a conscience than Walt and Mike is great and all, but I refuse to start seeing him as the shows ~conscience~ because he starts throwing guilt money out the window, as opposed to taking a real stand and contacting the muredered little boys parents. I felt like the show had no illusions about Walt's character, but there was a feeling that I was supposed to see Jesse as a better person than he actually was?
