aww yeah it's question meme time

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme





Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

If you look back to S3 or early S4, you can get a basic outline of how a purely villainous Jesse would come about. He has to lose everything else. The business has to be the only home he has and his sole purpose in life.

So how I see that playing out in MoM is... Everyone finds out what he's been doing and there's no pretending otherwise. Maybe he does some jailtime or maybe he's on house arrest or maybe he's too good to get sentenced but it's obvious and he's now a pariah. Whatever happens, he can't keep pretending he's a decent citizen.

So he doesn't try. He embraces the villain label. It matches his self-image, anyway, and god knows he's not going to go around making excuses for his behavior. It'd start with that kind of "So what?" attitude. Like, "Yeah, I'm a bad guy. Now you know. Always have been and always will be. Now watch me do all the stuff you expect bad guys to do." He'd be an asshole on purpose. Not necessarily more violent but more callous and cruel. Mocking people for ever having believed in him. You know how it is. It's his way of daring them to put him down, because he's suicidal but he can't pull the trigger himself.

Since he probably won't actually end up in the electric chair, it only escalates from there. He has nowhere to go but further into the darkness, so he'd steer into it. And he's already killed people now, so if the situation dictates - or if whoever's pulling his strings gives the order - then what's a few more? What is there for him but to act as the monster people say he is?

Was almost canon, too. Jesse was originally meant to be Heisenberg after Walt's retirement and Walt was going to use the M60 to bust him out of prison. But then the creators decided that depicting your protagonist slaughtering hundreds of law enforcement officials was maybe not the best note to end on. Especially since the DEA was so nice about working with them during filming. Aww.
