I agree mostly with you, but don't forget that he plowed the two drug dealers with his car and poisoned Crazy 8 or whatever with the gas and finished the other guy off with a bike lock. That's 4 deaths with direct violence from WW.walt used the cartel member to do it.the only direct act of violence ww has committed was poisoning a child.dude is not tough. he gets others to do his dirty work, unless it involves children and then he is brave enough to do it.Walt has gotten the better of everybody he's encountered. This idea that he's some sissy simpleton is ridiculous. He's had his head in the lion's mouth time and time again and keeps coming out on top.this is the same guy who got to Gus.he's not harmless. seems like they respect what he's capable of because they know what he's done in the past.Right. They know who he really is. It's perfectly logical that he'd have no chance against Mike, gun or not. So why are they buying his bravado? Mike and Jesse should have been laughing in his face after a few of the comments he's made lately. Why is Skyler sticking around, staying in the house? She should have been saying, #### you loser...I'm outta here. I just think they're playing his tough guy persona up too much. It seems a little comical.I think it fits perfectly. Do you know many scientists and engineers? The power trips they have are to do with their intelligence. A lot of them are introverts who talk #### when mere ideas are involved. Once in a physical confrontation they retreat back into their shells.'jamny said:I think they've gone a little too overboard with Walt's character. The whole "I'm creating an empire!" line was a bit cheesy. We're supposed to believe he's gotten this tough over the course of a year and then he timidly allows Mike to pull him around the office and restrain him to the radiator without a fight. Like he couldn't have tried to defend himself while he was being frisked. I'm having a tough time fully buying into this transition.
