Talk Forum - What You're Saying
Throughout Breaking Bad Season 2, AMCtv.com will award Talk forum commenters quoted in our weekly "What You're Saying" post with prizes like a Breaking Bad baseball hat or a Breaking Bad poster (limit one per person).
Fans debated this week whether Walt did the right thing in letting Jane die in Episode 12, and wondered what effect her death will have on Walt and Jesse.
• "Walt has crossed the line. He has become the villain of the piece. Jane was a human being, and he had no right to kill her. When his punishment hits, it will have to be severe, like a death to someone he loves, for me to back him again. For now I am waiting for that, and rooting for Jesse." -- thewaymouth
• "I strongly disagree with anyone who says that Walt is responsible for her death. Yes, Walt did not come to her rescue, but he also did not put the needle in her arm. It is tragic, but her story happens all the time." -- Soul Laundering
• "I think after Jesse finds Jane dead, he's going to hit absolute rock bottom, and something like this is usually needed for an addict to change behavior, and may lead to his 'Phoenix.'" -- MHJim
• "Jesse will rise from the ashes my friends... cheers." -- DepraveDave
• "I never particularly liked Jane's character but was touched by her relationship with Jesse in the beginning. Jesse is far, far better off without her. He will carry the pain of losing her with him for a long, long time though... most likely for the rest of his life." -- Slygirl08
• "There will be serious friction between Walt and Ted. Walt's sense of manhood and pride will prod Heisenberg into putting Ted in his place like he did Hank. Wonder how that will play out." -- gracie

Kudos, on the ending of "Phoenix" great parallel between showing the baby on her side and propping her up with a rolled towel to keep her from choking, and Jane telling Jesse to sleep on his side and being his rolled towel. Two father's babies, one to life Walt helps save, the other Walt kills by letting her choke on her own vomit!
Congrats, ya'll!! Way to go! =)

I received my tee shirt yesterday. I love it.
This site is awesome! Thanks Clayton for doing all of this.
Why don't you sell some of the tee shirts and hats in the AMC store? Currently, all you have is the first season for sale. Do this before the bootleggers do.

This is awesome! Thank you!!!! I am over the moon about this. Breaking Bad is my favorite show of all time.
diksee...awww, you soooo just made me smile. thank you! you are the sweetest!
Deprave Dave...way to go! The way you called what was going to happen on the finale was nothing short of brilliant!
Clayton, thanks for the hat, I'll wear it proudly, but I'll have to fight my wife for it! We've had so much fun with the show and lots of conversation during the following week.
Great episode 13 last night. I can always tell a great episode if I have trouble sleeping, and I did.
Your writers should publish an article (book?) on all of the intended clues, connections, etc. in BB. I've noticed some while watching, and then read about many more in the weekly talking forum. I'm curious to find out about clues that weren't brought up in the forum, or clues that were discussed in the forum that weren't actually intentionally included.
Congratulations, you guys!

Walt didn't "kill" Jane,you could say that she killed herself when she shot up .Walt simply allowed nature to take its course.
twinkle556,
Hank Jr above has it right. Walt did more than allow it to happen. It was an accident, but Walt caused her death, therefore he killed her.
Jane had been sleeping on her side. When Walt shook Jesse, it caused Jane to release her hold on Jesse and fall flat on her back, to then lose her breath as she started to vomit. Walt then just watched Jane choke to death rather than try to save her. That was intentional. Jane no longer posed a threat to expose him.
PS Thanks so very much BB for the hat.
