      I always thought it was really obvious what his intentions were. The phonecall was so over the top. So exaggerated. So out of character. The way he explicitly kept mentioning that *HE* was responsible for all of this and that he threathened her to be silent. He even said that she didn't know anything, which we know is a complete lie. The fact that he removes the batteries and destroys his phone afterward is also an obvious sign that he knows he's being listened to by the police.

      It's these types of moments, that makes me defensive over Walter. Yes, Walt tricked him, lied, etc. In the end Walt was ready to sacrifice a lot for Hank. It bothers me how quick friends, family, "loved ones", pets, etc, are willing to condemn him with such hate (especially Marie). I want to give props to Skylar for sticking with Walt. I think she redeemed herself from the IFT episode.😎
      Btw Jesse is a rat. He was one of my favorite characters until he chose to betray his partner. He's in the game. Walt opened "the door" for Jesse to get out safely. But he failed to go through it without looking. Btw, we all manipulate. We do it constantly from cradle to grave (Yes even babies). It's ugly to watch. But good advice is good advice.

"I warned you for a year, you cross me there will be consequences." A clear indication that he has been threatening her for the last year.

    Walter wasn't trying to be deliberately hateful to Skylar on the phone, that was him in Heisenberg mode exonerating her from criminal activity. Painting himself as the sole mastermind where he basically holds the family hostage makes her come across as a victim. It's the only thing he thought he could do to help them and not have the police suspect her of anything.

      Walt started off as the anti-heroic protagonist that evolved into a villainous protagonist and Tuco, Gus, Hank, & Jesse ended up being either villainous or heroic antagonists. He should’ve pointed out how the show was more like reality with complex, imperfect characters that weren’t simply black & white.

I've already seen the show by that time so I was only there to catch his reaction, the episode got me emotional again, it surprised me the most was the fact that near the end of the episode not a word came out of his mouth, he remained silent the whole episode, not until the end he started crying and talking again, it was quite the experience, I could feel how tense and upset he was, best show ever.

  • @bobizzle1605

    I still get chills when Walt tells Jessie he watched Jane die. That was such an emotional and powerful scene and Bryan Cranston acted it out so fucking perfectly.
    What makes it such a powerful moment is all the undertones that go along with Walt’s confession to Jessie. Because he tells it to Jessie as both a bitter, spiteful act of final revenge because he blamed Jessie for hank’s death in that moment, but he also tells it to Jessie as a final favor to him believing he won’t see him again. He tells him so that Jessie can let go and not blame himself for jane’s death. Most think that Walt only told him out of spite but it goes beyond that. When Walt tells him you can see him tear up and say it with some sympathy and regret, and then ends it with spite saying he didn’t save her when he could have.
    It’s such a powerful scene because even though you hate to admit it, a part of you can almost understand why Walt is bitter and tells Jessie, since he lost hank and in some ways it technically is jessie’s Fault that hank got involved at the end and died.
