There were times when I had to stop watching because it was just too intense. Fascinating character study, though, in how someone could become so ruthless, or was he always that way and had suppressed that side. Seeing Jesse and others having the many relapses after getting sober was heartbreaking and I really wanted to smack him when he was purposely enabling others to use again. I'd wondered right up to the last few shows if Walter was somehow going to beat the odds again and somehow get out of it but the writing was on the wall that he wouldn't. And by that time I wasn't sure I wanted him to. Call me a romantic but I'd like to think that Jesse made it to Alaska after all and took up woodworking.
