75475, You're all looking and judging from the faulty standpoint of logic... Posted by Pinko_Panther, Mon Sep-16-13 03:09 PM
"If he did this then that would happen, therefore blah, blah, blah..."
This is clearly about human emotionality and relationships ultimately superseding any prior scheme that had been initially conjured up through Walt's logical processes. What Walt is paying for right now, is his stubborn belief that some logical combinations of words, treating relationships like a math equation, would be enough to get him everything he wants. In reality, every single one of these manipulations have finally caught up to him. Ultimately, with Hank's death, we see Walt as someone who has emotional limits as well. Watching Hank's life in the balance in the desert, killed any sense of logical brilliance Walt has ever displayed because family is his emotional trigger.
So, this isn't about Jesse being a whiney rat. It's really about the threshold of peoples' emotional values given a certain set of circumstances. I hate when this show is reduced to "a chemistry teacher who gets cancer and cooks meth." Just like those Nazi's rolling Hank into Walt's money pit, Walt has symbolically been digging graves for everyone around him.
There is actually a lot more humanity and insight into relationships than most other show about crime and drugs. This is why The Wire was so great too.
