I have started watching breaking bad for the first time recently and I'm in fourth season now. Amazing show, loving all the plot twists till now. But one thing that really bugs me is the total 360 turn of Jesse character..
While watching first season I thought Walt is the nerd guy who don't have street smarts while Jesse understands how to survive in their game. Like when he says how silly it is to meet Tuco at a junkyard. He is the one who suggests to kill Tuco when he realizes they are in danger. When Walter is unsure what to do with Krazy-8 he casually recommends, "if I were you, I would think that I'm doing him a favour" and gets frustrated when he is unable to kill him. But now in fourth season he is crying in every scene he is in because he had to kill Gale! I mean can't he understand why they had to do it? Like he didn't care at all when his former partner and probably childhood friend Emilio was murdered and dissolved in acid in the first season, but now he became complete emo about killing some unrelated drug dealer?
I know characters develop and transform from their origins but this feels like it came so sudden, like writers wanted to make Jesse more likeable, between the seasons. Are we supposed to think that Jane's death and subsequent rehab turned Jesse into a good person? Or is this "flanderisation"?
