Am I the only who feels really bad for Jesse moreso than Walt. At least after the first few episodes. He's not the smartest kid in the world, but it seems like he gets put in bad situations cause everyone just kinda craps on him. No matter what happens he always cuts it even - more fair to Walt than the other way around.
Revisit this post at the end of season 2, and pretty much throughout season 3.
So I watched all of season 2 and I'm 4 in to season 3, I'm not sure if you meant my opinion would be more solidified or less?
[SHOW]
Jesse's biggest mistake at the end of Season 2 was falling in love. Now should he have showed up at the meet at Pollos high? No. But Walt did everything he did for the love of a woman who didn't love him. HIs second biggest mistake would be like me calin you at 5 am and saying be ready to go at 4:30 am. 4 episodes in to season 3, Jesse's clean and Walt spilled to his [expletive] of an 'ex-wife' and started cooking cause it's what he's best at - while Walt [expletive] on him for an 'inferior' product (tho it's not necessarily such) and he's still gonna cut him on (after [expletive] Jesse at least once) the score just cause it's Walt's recipe.

Maybe it"s cause I identify more with Jesse than Walt, but the kid hasn't really made an 'unforced errors' in the series. He got booted from his house over some weed (best you can tell) before the series started, but he did have to watch his Aunt die and take care of her at a fairly young age. I still stand by the 'Jesse gets [expletive] on cause he's in a bad situation more than being an idiot

Thanks, but you're about two Dexter season summaries too late.

They got rid of Rita, continue to have repetitive story lines, and have a department full of cops that never catch on, and if they do, are summarily dismissed despite all the signs.

Last season was awesome, but the way they changed the dynamic this year just lost me. This is coming from a HUGE Dexter fan over the first four seasons. Maybe I should read the books if they don't follow the show like has been mentioned.

The only solution to an 83 page thread is a TV subforum with topics for each show. This thread is riddled with landmines I dare not tread.

Agree Kird...that's a good idea. An "entertainment" subforum with tv, movie, music talk.

Not spoilered for lack of spoilers:

The "God" episode of Louie was awesome. Not really funny though.

Oops, did I ruin it?
