I hope so too. But no more Gustavo, so it probably won't be.
The show was good before Gus was in it, too. Gus was great, but still we got Mike and Walter and that fucking scumbag lawyer Saul who is funny as fuck so we got a chance.
I feel for the character Walter White to the core. He's the archetype of an altruistic, rational citizen falling down and redefining his personal stance on society's rules just a little too late. Best show ever. I'm not sure there can be an improvement over last season though, particularly because some of the best side characters were removed.
Waiting for at least episode 5 to get back into it, hope they can pick up where they left off...

My only complaint with the show is the premise that Walt is forced into a life of crime from medical bills. He is a public school science teacher with tenure. He would have a premium health care plan and unlimited paid disability leave if he couldn't work because of cancer. Even more stupid is when his brother in law's wife has to beg for medical bills to be paid when her husband is a federal cop. A cop who is shot in the line of duty for crying out loud! These people are taken care of very well.

That's because the writers / directors are leftists who want to perpetuate the myth that people in the United States have to turn to a life of crime and lie, cheat, and steal in order to afford healthcare, including our teachers.

I have to admit I bought into that. You would know better, but from what I gathered teachers aren't paid very well in the US and I know for a fact that scientists of his caliber that don't emphasize in politics are sidelined very quickly in our current system. I've seen them drown, that's a matter of fact.
So yeah, his reaction makes perfect sense to me. That he chooses the money train to provide for his kin by making drugs and is not designing viruses for the fuck of it is an emotional response that is understandable considering he is a family man.
Didn't he go to see a one in the World specialist who would not take his insurance? Could happen.
Brat, teachers in US work 180 day a year. Make higher than average salary. That is average among the people who work whole year. They bear no responsibility for the shitty job they do. And the constantly bitch and demand more money and less work
Here, Chris Christie says New Jersey teachers only work 180 days a year, average $60K salaries

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

$60k6 (= 48 923,6791 €) is supposed to be good pay? That's just above entry level on anything with college degree here...

It is a lot for Montana. But near starvation level for DC or NYC.
On average I would say it is not too bad for working half a year. And 60K out of college you are talking about it is for engineering and other majors like that, right? I don't think a fresh graduate in Music or education makes 60K a year in Germany

Graduates in music or education drive taxis (we don't have enough Indians or Pakis here). But anything "business" related $60k is a not too shabby entry. Nothing wild either... If you apply yourself and make some decent choices, you will receive this salary, even without a college degree, and have plenty of positions to choose from.
Great mechanics and technicians earns similar wages. They are more sought after than "artists" or "social scientists", that's for sure.
It's good to be educated and looking for a job in a technical field here. Make no mistake about that...

You feel for him? He's not exactly a sympathetic character. He's taken to evil pretty easily, don't you think? He strikes me as a meglomaniacal genius.
If anything, Jesse is the sympathetic character in the show. With a dead girlfriend and almost dead kid, thanks to Walt.

It wasn't just medical bills, although they were part of it. He had basically a death sentence, which might explain why the insurance wouldn't pay for it all (think Obamacare death panels), but he was more worried about providing for his family after his death. Remember he figured out that he needed $700k to pay for mortgage, bills, and two college educations for his kids.
The rehab for his brother in law is a bit harder to explain, except that now his wife might find out where the money is coming from and not want to tell her husband. Good drama.

That's leaving out the value of their benefits. They pay, basically, nothing for health care and retirement, have summers off (most teachers I ever knew all got summer jobs), and work less than 40 hours per week when school is in session.
Great show! Too bad the last half of the season seemed to be all about Walter killing Gus. The poisoning of the kid adds a twist. Walter is pretty much evil... 3rd season was my favorite so far. The shoot out with between the Cousins and Hank was awesome!

I wouldn't call his fall from grace taking to evil lightly, just consequential. Trying to do right against his own nature in a broken system and in the process being repeatedly shafted by the sharp end of the stick throws him off until he cracks. It's a modern Dr. White and mister Heisenberg character.
Jesse is not a sympathetic character to me. I have no regard for junkie personalities whatsoever. They fuck everything up around them. Also well acted, but simple in comparison.
