Saul's the only likable character on that show
Really? I fuckin love Jesse. He's me, except for the taste in clothes and music.
Killed a bunch of people by his own hand, though. Even though he's more moral than Walter, that little boy lost thing means he's more to be pitied than liked, really.
I see him as a good person who like drugs and made some bad decisions. And his jacket is the biggest crime of all.
Yeah, I like Jesse a lot. Or, I don't know about "like" exactly but he's one of the few characters I still actively root for to get out of the situation he's in. I feel similarly about Skyler, I guess. I actually like Hank a fair bit. If BB was a normal show, he would have been a hero. He evolved from a crass dickish blowhard to an actual heroic type over the course of the show (I haven't seen the last few episodes, but I hear he's in some trouble at the moment). I liked Mike a lot too, but that's no longer really relevant.
I definitely want Jesse to do well, survive the situation and get away from a life that's always done him damage. I do like Hank, actually, even if he's turned into a single minded Captain Ahab, blind to how his obsession is slowing his quest down.
Yeah, Mike was fucking great.
Agreed.

BB is kind of weird in how to sort who you "like" or "root for" because, at least for me, I have such utter loathing and contempt for the lead that is sort of skews my process of consideration for just about everyone.
I don't know if I need to see Walt die at the end, but I'm pretty sure I won't be satisfied unless he's forced to confront the reality of who and what he is and for his own ego to be utterly and totally decimated. If he gets killed without realizing what a small, pathetic little shit he is then I'll consider the show to have morally (and storytelling-wise) failed.

Oh Christ, that's hilarious. It just goes to show that parents used to vaccinate regulatly, as the predicted Cocteau fever epidemic never came to pass.
