You killed Balthazar, you bastard! But, seriously. Why are we in it with him again?
Are we supposed to be on his side at this point?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't need to be on his side--I'm looking for reasons to give a fuck about his continuing story.
I wonder how long time big time fans are feeling now--coasting on previous seasons can help you see things like this as a blip, whereas I'm going "Ha! Told you he was a shithead or something!" They're rooting for him to get back on the right side of vigilante justice, and I'm thinking--"You're no Castiel, good luck getting me back after offing Seb Roche".

I don't know, it seems like a big deal for a character that they just reminded us last week (or maybe the week before, this season, anyway) was Mr. Minimize Collateral Damage to assassinate someone he referred to several times as a friend, whoever plays said character. I'm not super invested and am sticking around mainly because the story is ending soon and I might as well finish it, but that seems like more than a blip.

I can't say--I've never been invested in his character. I don't have any way of knowing what it looks like from that angle. That's why I said I wondered, and didn't say I believed or felt.
I'm in the "was an asshole, still an asshole, argue your way outta that one" camp.

Yeah, I know. I just don't know where they are going with the story. Redemption, presumably, but I can't really see it from here, so maybe that isn't the end game. Which is, I guess, really why I give a fuck about his continuing story, because at this point I don't know how it will continue so maybe it will get interesting.

I'm kind of at the point I reached with Clear History--I don't think anyone deserves redemption, but I won't get much out of their punishment either.
However, I want to know how it ends, and it's no big deal, so...they get my eyeballs till the end.

Gah. I just...gah.
I have to wait a week for Jesse and Hank? Argh.
Skyler and Walt in the bathroom. Damn. They're so perfect for each other, and so fucked up.
That's the best I've ever liked Marie, I'm pretty sure.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Great scene for Betsy Brandt, yeah.
I like that Hank's interpretation of "Tread lightly" is to tell Skyler and Marie. The noose is tightening aaargggh.

I'm still in the middle of S3 on Netflix, and I'm torn between wanting to avoid ALL current-season spoilers and wanting to know EVERYTHING NOW.
