We bring up “totally Kafkaesque” as a meme all the time and rightfully so bc it was a classic Jesse-ism but also like?? The thematic implications of bringing up Franz Kafka in the context of Jesse’s characterization? Franz Kafka, whose most famous work was about a man who turned into a beetle, and was abused and denied his humanity by everyone he tried to maintain a human connection with because they perceived him as monstrous and burdensome despite his pure intentions? A book that was written as a projection of Franz Kafka’s difficult relationship with his father, a book in which the father character is the protagonist’s primary abuser? A book about someone with a highly stigmatized condition who is made to feel as though they are undeserving of love??

like obviously if u didnt know the piece of trivia that jesse was originally supposed to be killed off in season 1 of brba, u probably wouldn't get that impression from the show since he quickly becomes the deuteragonist, but that fact still somehow feels woven into the very fabric of the show. that jesse wasnt supposed to live this long. with the reckless way he lives, the action he gets himself involved in (and eventually dragged into), the disregard he shows for his own wellbeing, u expect him to die in every episode. with every horrible thing that happens, u expect him to die. everyone around him wants him dead. it feels like an inevitability. but it never happens. jesse keeps surviving even as everyone around him dies; he lives longer than anyone, even the audience, ever could have expected. it's something simultaneously horrific and miraculous, that this character who was and is doomed continues living despite everything in the world around him trying to kill him. what's worse than dying?? surviving. what's better than dying?? surviving. that's part of what makes "el camino" so compelling even though the narrative never hides the fact that jesse will successfully escape. it's not a question of whether or not he'll escape. it's a question of what do u do when ur only choice is to keep living??

I love how everyone can agree on Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. It's a rare piece of media enjoyed by teenagers, middle aged people, and old folks, loved by cishets and the gayest/transest people you'll ever meet alike, men and women and everything else. What's the target demographic? Who the hell knows. If a demographic exists, it's a player in the brba fanbase. It's really one of those things that *truly* has something for everyone.
You like gritty crime dramas? Goofy character-driven comedy? Character studies? Tragic, soul-crushing sobfests? Uplifting stories of hope and growth and resilience? Cute romances? Tumblr sexymen? Blorbos? Gory gruesome murders? Metaphors and allegories to be dissected? Complex mysteries? Atmospheric vibefests? Awesome action? The brba cinematic universe has *all* of that and I am not exaggerating.

Love that everyone in Breaking Bad gets fucked. So funny. Like every single montherfucker is in jail, dead, or if let slightly off the hook or incidentally involved (Skyler, Walt Jr,), life ruined. All of them. 87 years jail for the looney tunes lawyer, Stoic Dad 2 is dead, the gay classy bitch got Harvey Dent’d fatally, Walt doesn’t even get to die on screen, Marie loses everything, it’s a tpk. Every bitch in the show straight up Hayes Code’d.
Except Jesse
Who gets to go live free and start over in Alaska.
Unreal. And like god bless if anyone ever deserved to be a creator’s pet, like straight up earned it, to such a degree it is “We’re going to kill you in S1 Mr. Paul” to S5 “You can kill me off but everyone will quit watching” Jesse Cap’N Cook Pinkman. The acting Oscar worthy, the breakdowns, the range, climbing into a box to see if a body would fit, go-karting sadly, ‘Yeah bitch! Magnets!’ to the revenge killing, truly, he had it all.
Kid went through enough in s1 to last a lifetime and then Walt just kept on happening again and again after. Even the ethics rules of the show’s universe unmatched by the power of a pathetic little guy literally everyone is rooting for. God bless enjoy Alaska bitch you earned it.

Mike and Jesse’s relationship makes me insane bc it’s the perfect encapsulation of the tragicomic elements that make Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul so absurdly ingenious. Like this deadly dead-eyed professional hitman only becomes a father figure to this grown adult meth cook because his boss strong-arms him into the Very Serious Drug-Related Business of babysitting said meth cook and building his sense of self-esteem through the power of gold star stickers. And Mike is such a quintessential professional that he gets stuck in character and genuinely comes to love Jesse as his own becoming his least problematic and most influential father figure in the series. But also. Mike is doomed to watch young men reminiscent of his murdered child get chewed up and spit out by a world that holds their innocence in contempt, is killed in an attempt to save Jesse from this fate, and dies believing he failed to do so

On my current rewatch of Breaking Bad and I noticed another reason why Jesse’s character is so well-written. We know Jesse has a huge capacity for learning and technical prowess, but only in things he cares deeply about. Once he starts to care, he learns very quickly, and he performs at an expert level. Jesse struggles with basic scientific concepts, especially when he tries to recall their names. In s3e10 “Fly”, he can’t even remember the word for condensation, saying “you know, like on a cold beer”. However, in that same episode, Jesse recounts how he noticed signs that his aunt’s cancer had metastasized to her brain. His specific and unflinching use of the term “metastasized” is pretty jarring for his character. Over the course of the show, Jesse’s knowledge of cancer is accurate and helpful, as he even gives Walt tips for chemotherapy. It’s a subtle way the show tells us of how deeply and sincerely Jesse cared for his aunt. I wonder how much the writers considered his aunt’s passing on Jesse’s overall behavior. How much did it contribute to his delinquency prior to meeting Walt? How much does it color how Jesse and Walt interact?
