THAT’S the succinct description I have trying to pull together in my head. THANK YOU!! Walt really lost me when
he turned on Gus. He had the perfect set-up to just cook,
and not have to deal with moving the merchandise. But he
still wasn’t content. Right now, I want to see Walt suffer.
But I could change my mind, based on where things go, I guess. What a show. I also resisted watching it till this year.

Yep. He said it himself to Jesse at the beginning of season 5. Partners, not employees. The cut will be smaller, but a larger slice of the pie.

It’s an amazing turnabout. Walt was so bitter over getting out of Gray Matter, losing out on “billions” and being frustrated over having to settle for teaching High School chemistry. Being a brilliant man, knowing he was destined for greater things. But instead of being a big shot doing something good, he ended up being a big shot for something horrible. A parody of himself.

A brilliantly deep character.

No way. Walt was a dead man walking, unless he killed Gus first.

Did you miss the part where Gus was clearly going to cut Walt out and make Jesse the head cook?

Walt killed Gus because he suspected Gus would kill him as soon as he found him replaceable...imho

That's why Walt poisoned Brock...to manipulate and get Jesse back on his side. He was suspecting that Gus was grooming Jesse to take over for a dead Walt.
