That is the dilemma. Careening from one near miss/narrow escape to another, trying to find new/different ways to generate tension and explore the characters can result in a show that chases it's tale.

If you want the show to go on indefinitely (not implying forever btw), then you can't part with such a valued cast member. You might as well outline a six year plan where Walt goes in and out of remission. I want it to be more like a very long movie.

I think there's a chance that Gus tries to have Walt "take care" of him, only for Walt to be bailed out when Jesse's revenge attempt fails and the gang takes care of his dirty work for him. Walt may even face another decision point, a la Jane, where he has to choose whether or not to let Jesse die.

It would be a sly and possibly savvy move-- albeit not really in character for Mr. Pinkman-- if Jesse decided to have someone he knew tip off the cops about that corner, and get his revenge that way.

Another thought I had (very minor spoilers about episode titles):
Spoiler:
The penultimate S3 episode is titled "Half Measures", and the finale is titled "Full Measure". This makes me think that Walt take the "half measure" of firing Jesse from the lab, or doing something else to deal with his stealing, and when he (or Gus) quickly realizes the danger he poses, the "full measure" of having him killed is put into effect.

It could also refer to Jesse's dealings with Tomas and that crew, or to the degree with which Psckuyllare involves herself with the business.

Man. The "showbiz" side of me says no way they can kill Jesse yet, but the "realistic drama" side of me says that the Gus-and-Walt operation can't continue for much longer with Jesse around. He has to have a virtual 180 in personality and motivation, or he's going to end up dead.
From the info for tonights and next weeks episodes:
Spoiler:


Half Measures:
Quote:
Jesse strikes out against advice; Walt takes drastic action to intervene.
Full Measure:
Quote:
With Jesse on the run, Walt negotiates a bargain with Gus to provide for his and Jesse's safety

So yeah, Jesse is going to try something, screw it up, and Walt is going to try to bail him out.

The shot with Jesse as the fly landing on the rim or the soda bottle was pretty cool.

Jesse surviving money line has dropped to +1000 imo.

No more half measures.

Jesse will survive this season imo. The shocking part will be Jesse living.

Does Marie always wear purple? What does it mean?
