But, oh Mr. White. Do you think he's capable of such a thing? That would do irreparable harm to his relationship with Jessie. There's no coming back.
Excellent breakdown. I totally concur re: the characters and their relation to the show's title. Marie is nuts! Have you also followed the show's theme of color? Marie is all about purple- the color of ambition and royalty.

I'm not sure Mr. White (I also dig how Jesse still calls him this!) is capable of this... yet. But with each passing season, he gets further from a moral center. And I think that's what drives Gilligan- leaving a tv show to an audience who now has to question their own values within moral relativism.

Here's a doozy... what if the poison came from a certain dude in a wheelchair? Karmic justice?
