Didn't have enough appreciation for this dude the first time I watched the show, but he's the antithesis of Walt in every way. He doesn't want his name on shit for his ego, he knows to leave well enough alone and enjoy the money from the gig he's got, and saw right through Walt's bullshit frame 1. BrBa is full of unlikeable characters, that's kind of the point, but every scene with this guy in it is just incredible
I'll probably watch Better Call Saul after rewatching this, and I'm glad they brought Mike back as a character for that one --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream [She/they] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Walt is a scumbag
Jesse is a scumbag Hank is a bastard Saul is a scumbag Gus is a scumbag Skylar is awful Marie is awful Walt Jr may as well not even be there Despite being a killer, Mike was probably the most likable person on the show. --- Hard work pays off ... Copied to Clipboard!

What about Jane? Probably in the same category as Walt JR. though she was integral for moving a plot forward. I haven't seen this in a long time but I remember never being completely angry or disappointed in Mike.

Mike is top tier. Hank is also top tier. Saul is top tier. Gus is top tier.
A lot of characters are top tier. Breaking Bad is one of those shows where everything (except Skyler, basically) clicks just right and the whole thing is great. --- (He/Him) I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Jesse's my favorite because he's the one guy in the game who realized how fucking awful the game is. Mike may not have Walt's ego but for someone who could see right through him he still couldn't figure out the danger

There is this really weird connect/disconnect with me that Hank (that's the husband of Marie right). I know he got into a stone/gem hobby. *sigh* and I remember seeing that and just, certain things trigger memories. I still have some stones in a old box.
It was a heck of a show! I remember some of the Saul bits being just laugh out loud in such a serious downer show. --- "A lesser talent couldn't have pulled it off. But I'm willing to bet on BoJack Horseman. Are you?" ~~Cuddlywhiskers on the new show ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is it blasphemous to say I thought Gus was a terrible character after a while?
He's like the big bad for the second half of the series, and he's just too dumb to shoot Walter outright. The better meth revenue could not be worth all the trouble and risk it put him in.

I think that had to do with his eye on the vendetta, especially in light of some of the stuff we learn in BCS, and thinking Walter could be a piece that could be manipulated to the end That's exactly what it was. Gus was playing a long game, with his number one goal to kill the rest of the cartel members associated with the Salamancas. He just never expected Walt to exploit Gus's hatred for Hector to catch him by surprise. Unrelated, but I also ended up really liking Saul lol. He really does embody that scummy lawyer with the lame billboards and radio ads super well. He's a goofy foil to the hard asses in the show --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream [She/they] ...

I felt Saul really showed how horrible Mike was as a person. He was sort of an enigma for the first few seasons of BB, but Saul, he was a dirty cop who tried to be clean, but couldn't help himself. A tragic character, but incredibly flawed.

I just finished the last episode of season 3, full measure. For years, my takeaway was that Walt only ever cared about himself, but upon rewatching, I think Jesse might be the only one he cares about in a strange way. There's so many decisions he makes to his detriment to work with Jesse, or in this case, save his life.
He could have easily just let the two dealers kill Jesse and go on cooking for Gus, but he saves Jesse anyway. I can't quite figure out why that is; does Walt really care for Jesse for his sake, or does he just like having some sort of control over him? --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream [She/they] ...

Walt really care for Jesse for his sake, or does he just like having some sort of control over him? Arguably, his vanity and hubris. Like every other reason he does something. Jesse is the only one who knows. The only one who appreciates him for his skills. The only one who admires him, gives him credit, and doesn't try to match wits against him. Walt is fond of Jesse in the same way Skeletor likes Evil-Lynn. --- What has books ever teached us? -- Captain Afrohead Subject-verb agreement. -- t3h 0n3 ... Copied to Clipboard!
