Reading your favourites and your predictions it seems our thoughts are definitely correlating. I was looking back over my Walt/Jess recaps and the longest ones were for Fly and Half Measures. Fly is the quintessential Walt & Jesse episode for me though the last two episodes of S2, S3 and S4 have all had some epic Walt/Jesse moments too. I just hope the S5 climax will be just as focused on their relationship. Other fans have speculated things like "What if Walt is coming back to rescue Junior?" which would be plausible but...yeah, I'd be bummed too. It just seems like the final act should come back to the core partnership. Walt's family has actually become secondary even though Walt's original motivations were all about his family

And why can't I make your comments that I'm responding to be in italics?
If you want to put my comments in italics in your LJ reply then you need to put < i > at the start of the sentence and < /i > at the end of the sentence. Only remove the spaces between the i's an the >
I'll respond to the rest of your awesome comment later but I wanted to help you with that because I find LJ coding tricky too...
LOL, quite. That said, I don't think Walt is gonna get a redemption story. Walt may fool himself into thinking he's the sacrificial hero. But if he is on some mission to rescue Jesse I think Jesse would be horrified by Walt going on a machine gun rampage and claiming he's doing it for Jesse. The last thing Jesse wants is for more people to die.
I mean if Jesse did find out (and his head didn't immediately explode) what could he do?
Well, I think this is where my 'mental institution' theory comes in. I don't think Jesse could bring himself to kill Walt. Jesse was so traumatized after killing a stranger, I don't think he could cope with killing his partner and father figure, even if he did know about Walt's betrayals. But I do think knowing the truth would destroy Jesse and I fear he might even attempt suicide.
My alternate (and completely inplausible and wishful thinking) theory is that Walt and Jesse will end up with only each other left and Jesse will care for Walt until he
