When you think about it Walt’s story in season 5 is like a shitty, small-scale parallel to Gus’ story that happens in the span of a single year>builds his own meth distrubition business>becomes ultra-rich under the guise of a small business (car wash, fast food restaurant)>a loved one dies because of his involvement in the criminal world (hank, gus’ boyfriend)>he gets revenge by going to the home of the people that murdered his loved one, and killing them all (car trunk machine gun killing the nazis, gus poisoning don eladio at his hacienda)
>>218181246it jumped the shark after its peak gus storyline. they were just sunsetting the sales booth here.
Good thing the MG was using tracers else it might have missed.
>>218182126luckily todd and jack survived so jesse could get the kill on todd and walt could execute jack after that retarded cigarette stunt
>>218181246The difference is that Jesse saved Gus, but left Walter to get fucked.
the final boss should have been the abstract, unknowable powers of madrigal electromotive stalking and disappearing everyone in walt's life until finally he's nabbed by the corporation and put to work (as jesse was) in an enormous, monolith leviathan of a meth lab deep deep underground . . . and he kinda loves it.
