Breaking Bad - Seven-Thirty-Seven

Season 2 - Episode 1
At the very end of season 1, I almost had to turn my eyes away during the scene where Tuco is beating up one of the guys that works for him. I wasn't thrilled to see Season 2 start by repeating that scene. The important part at the end of that scene was where Walt figures out exactly how much money he is going to need to leave his family when he dies. $737,000, only 11 more deals with Tuco. The first deal with Tuco didn't go so well...so 11 more doesn't sound too good. Jesse has the feeling that there's no way they will make it 11 more deals with him because he thinks that Tuco is going to come for them and kill them. Instead of waiting for that to potentially happen, Jesse decides that he wants to kill Tuco first.
Throughout most of this Episode, Walt's behavior is getting very questionable. Of course, his family thinks that it is just a reaction to his cancer diagnosis. However, it is getting to the point where it is unacceptable behavior. Skyler says to him "....but you can't take it out on me." She is very fed up with the way he is acting.
Another interesting facet in the story is Hank's involvement with the drug "wars". He is quick to find out about Tuco's guys getting killed. This freaks Walt out right away, and also makes him scared that he may get caught.
Unfortunately, Jesse ends up showing up at Walt's house with Tuco holding a gun to his head. We don't really know why yet. This scene, the opening scene with the charred objects floating in the pool, and the scene with Tuco killing his helper, all point to a season of Breaking Bad that will be even crazier than the first.

Breaking Bad - S1E4

I have to be honest and admit that I have gotten so into this show that I am already halfway through season 4. Going back to season 1, episode 4, was definitely interesting. It refreshed my memory on how Walt's life changed so quickly. Jesse's life too.

Jesse can't stay away from drugs no matter how hard he tries. However, what he does to Emilio and "Crazy Eight" seems to have a more significant psychological effect on him than the physical effects of the drugs. His hallucinations show his deep paranoia about someone finding out about what happened.
Jesse's parents seem so different from him. they are very conservative and very stern when it comes to breaking the trust of your own family. I personally know a family that is a little bit like that and they had a lot of unhealth in the history of their family before. Although we will probably never get the answer on the show, I wonder what Jesse's life was like with his parents when he was a child.

It is amazing how much Walt has changed in just 4 episodes. He went from being a family-man and a teacher to being a drug manufacturer and murderer. When Walt revealed his medical condition to his family, I could right away see it as an excuse to cover up his newest extracurricular activities. However, I am unsure why he seems to be against the treatment options. I know he is worried about not having the money to pay for it, but he should know that he will be able to make a ridiculous amount of money anyway with his elite level product. I don't think he is very optimistic about how long he will live, which is definitely a contributor to his attitude towards his position.
