I get this way with shows like Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad and those sorts too, but it's more like I just want to stop watching at a point where the characters are in an okay place, because I get exhausted of seeing them constantly struggling and being in mortal danger. It's like I want to give the characters a bit of a break before I make them do any more awful things.

I always felt it was >!way too over the top to actually shoot her. Uncle Jack had got his point across already, just by showing Jesse he could do it. Shooting her in plain view introduced the risk of being witnessed. Plus keeping her alive would keep her as leverage against Jesse. I know they threatened to kill Brock next but who knows where Brock would end up.!<

It's not like they were criminal masterminds. They were meth-dealing Nazis.

I still think about this scene sometimes. It killed me. And compared to other shit I've seen in real life, it's kinda mild

I think it was in character. Jack just lets Todd do whatever, and to Todd killing her felt as inconsequential as killing an ant. So he did, because he just doesn't care. And that's what makes it terrifying
