That's something that always makes us laugh.

But I think this season he has been calling him Walt sometimes.

Here's how i see it all ending:

Walt loses his family, friends etc. All he has left is the money he made off meth. The cancer returns and has spread no treatment possible.

He comes home, and stares at the last of his Supply. He takes out some crystals and smokes his first crystal meth.

Fade to black. End titles.

In fairness to me, it seemed like Jesse rarely, if ever, talked about Walt in Seasons 3 or 4 in his personal life when hanging around his friends so referring to him as Walt or Mr. White did not come up often (and I missed the majority of season 2).

Also, Jesse is far less talkative then Walt and they're so familiar with each other that he rarely calls him by name. It's not like they said hello to each outside the laundromat before they went in to work together this episode and I don't think he even greeted Walt on the phone in the season 3 finale when Walter called Jesse to kill Gale.

How do you go about missing the majority of season 2 without remedying that in one way or another?

Yes, I really should to catch the more nuanced aspects of the show, but it's hard to find time my DVR already at capacity and new episodes of BB and other shows airing. Putting aside 13 hours when there's work and life to take care of makes it difficult.

I have been able to figure out the major aspects (Walt's somehow had a hand in Jesse's girlfriend's OD and her father, the air traffic controller, caused a crash because he was despondent over her death). based upon the "previously on" and board commentary.

I went briefly looking for a position that defended my position of what Jesse called Walter in recent episodes, but couldn't find one. Best I could come up with some clips where he called him something else:

Ok, so instead of watching new episodes each Sunday night, watch season two episodes. Then by the time you finish through season two, you can fly through season 4 since it will all be done by then. Breaking bad should be a priority above all other television, this should be an enforced law.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Bug" -- 9/11/11

Just watched this episode as my wife and I are catching up to get ready for Season 5. We originally just waited on the blu-rays to be released because directv was not broadcasting BB in HD. We left off from Season 2 a couple years back and while I thought Breaking Bad was really good, I had no idea how intense and addictive this show would become. Season 3 was incredible and Season 4 is shaping up to be just as good. We have been watching about 3 episodes a night and I could easily have just stayed up all night finishing out Season 4. The Gale storyline and the Gus backstory really give it a Lost feel for some reason. Great, great show.

You'd think there would be an in-between.

Bryan Cranston was on Opie and Anthony last week and said (very very vague spoilers regarding end of series)

Spoiler:
Walt still has cancer and at the end of the series he is still going to die from it or "other ways"
