Not really, Walter White just has another person/former associate who wants him dead now.

not that that is a flaw in the character or writing, in fact, i think it prolly most mimics reality right? i know very few people that easily fit into pre-conceived labels when it comes right down to it.

Jessie starts the show as a lazy, underachieving, drug using bum and through his experiences with Walter White and Gus Fringe he finally realizes his potential.
i.e. His ability to cook meth to the same quality as Walt can
Lets put this into perspective, Jessie can cook meth on his own better than
1) Gale Boetticher - Gale holds an MS degree in organic chemistry and is a specialist in X-ray crystallography
2) English Meth Cook - From the Mexican drug cartels Meth lab in Season 4
3) Much much better meth than the current guys that Lydia is involved with
Jesse is the second/equal best meth cook that exists on the planet, along with his experiences with Gus Fringe in season 4 he's proven to be quite a reliable and resourceful person.
Unlike Walter White, Jesse is not a sociopath and the things he's done and the sheer number of lives that have been destroyed mainly through Walts actions has resulted in Jesse finding it impossible to live with what he's been involved with, this is someone truly on the edge.
There is no coming back for Jesse now, the guilt is tormenting him!
I thought there was a strong possibility that Jesse was going to commit suicide in episode 511, the guy has been used, abused and he can't take anymore. He's emotionally spent!
So Jesse is actually a very very intelligent guy, he just can't live with what he's done any longer.
Breaking Bad is hands down the best show ever made! You just can't predict what's going to happen! And the use of music and the sound effects to convey emotions is just outstanding!
I can't think of any other TV show that uses sounds so effectively to describe emotions & moods in important scenes
The only other director I can think of who uses sound effects this way is Darren Aronofsky in
Requiem For A Dream &
Black Swan
