Omg finally!!!
ok TOTAL SPOILER ALERTS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T FINISHED...
I felt bad for Jesse. You can say he brought it on himself technically... but really, Walt drug him down and manipulated him through so much. Not saying that Jesse being a drug dealer at ALL was a 'good thing' but before he met Walt, he was just a dumb kid trying to make money and didn't have any goals or anything. Once he got with the Great Heisenberg his life just kept spiraling out of control. And Jesse was very trusting and easily manipulated. He at one point, looked up to Walt, like a father figure. I felt anyway.
Jesse at least had a heart, and a conscious.... and I felt like at the end, Walt did not. He just was so cold, he didn't really care anymore. I was so happy though when he finally admitted to Skylar that he did it for himself, and he was good at it. I wanted so bad for him to just ADMIT that it was a power trip/ego trip for him more than anything. And while I do truly believe his character started out doing it for his family, it quickly became apparent that it wasn't his sole reason.
At the same time, I was still sad he died at the end. I think it was necessary... and I couldn't have imagined it ending any other way, but it was a weird thing, because it's a character I felt sympathetic for, for a while anyway. I do think it's funny how Jesse kind of became the moral compass of the show. I loved his character growth. I thought the finale was awesome, and perfect, and wrapped everything up (except POOR HUEL!! lol... is Huel still just sitting in that room all scared?? hahaha) and the finale definitely satisfied me. I hated Jesse/Walt hating each other through the last few eps and I couldn't believe Jesse was working with Hank. I missed them being more of a team. So I was happy when at the last minute when Walt decided to save Jesse, and technically 'died' to save him, even though I guess he knew he was going to die anyway.
Honestly Hank kind of irritated me a lot. I think he was an egotistical prick for a while but I admit I was sooo sad when he died. He just was SOooo close and you couldn't help but feel happy for him when he finally caught his Heisenberg. That ep with the shoot out left me on the edge of my seat.
SO MANY EMOTIONS haha
