***POLL*** Who is your favorite character on Breaking Bad and why?

I like Jess Pinkman best, though he has done his share of bad deeds in the past, he does draw the line with important issues like not killing children, and he isn't obsessed with building a meth empire.

Remember guys I could only have 5 choices, so please understand.

I must say Hank and Saul provide plenty of comic relief.

Who would vote for Hank? He is a boring jerk in a show full of colorful jerks.Sajo7

Well Hank is the only person on the show at this point who isn't a side character with little relevance to the plot (like Marie and Walt Jr.) who also hasn't been involved in hurting innocent people and cooking meth like everyone up to Skyler on the show has been involved in.

At this point he's practically the good guy to Walt's bad guy, though the antagonist to the tale at large where Walt is the main character, he is the hero to Walt's villain.

he may be a hammy jerk sometimes, but overall I'd say he's a good guy and a helluva DEA agent. I would say he's quite colorful as well, especially when he hams it up: "Goddamn it Marie, they're minerals not Rocks!" gets me laughing every time.

Saul and Jesse are my favs, Jesse because he is the most in touch with consequences of everything and Saul is just good comic relief

hank, jesse a close second.

Interesting that everyone has received a vote but Walt.......how times have changed, this Poll after season 2 (irregardless of jane's death) probably would have been lopsided in Walt's favor.....but it is early.

oh, and my reasons for hank being my favourite character are because of his determination and humour; he's just a good, dedicated, funny guy, which makes you wanna see him succeed. jesse comes close to being my favourite because i see him as a beacon of light in the darker parts of the show.

Walt, even after his decent into full blown psycho, he is still the man.

Wow, I had no idea people liked hank so much. If I had made the poll i wouldnt have even included him and would have put gus fring in there instead.ice144

Well he is like the only good guy capable of bringing down the meth distributors with his skillset, and it was pretty cool how he took down the Salamanca cousins without a gun of his own or any backup.

I don't really have a favorite, but I'm surprised people could really like Walt now over Hank when Hank has kind of come into his own and had this unflinching moral stance, while Walt turned into this anti hero who was doing it for his family to a jerk who is willing to let innocent people and kids die for his empire that he lost his family for and have no emotional response to it.

A brave Walt fan speaks up finally! Definitely a megalomaniac, Walt has probably always had that deep inside, but the entire involvement with meth-cooking has triggered it. Obviously this was a side Skylar never knew was hidden in Walter, and it was pulled out entirely with his genius setup of Gus at the end of season 4 (and the way he played Jesse).

Gus is so last year ;). I wonder how people felt about Gale Boetticher.

I figured I'd just use characters from this year, there are so many to choose from.

No way I could put Skylar up there with those 5, Walter Jr er Flynn might be more popular than Skylar!

Interesting that Walt and Hank are fighting at the top ;) ....right now. Of course that could change.

I actually expect Saul to get more votes, he's hilarious.

Walt is still my fav because his actions are still unexpected. I know Jesse, Mike, Saul, Hank hell even Gus have/had moral codes. Walt on the other hand... he can pull something out of the box at any given moment without no one expecting it

Noone can question Walt's intelligence and being able to think on his feet....I'd give you that

Mike, he's the biggest badass in a show full of badassesJML897

Jesse. I feel like he's always had something going against him. I found myself rooting for him since Season 1. Then he develops a moral compass later in the show. That is why. Swanogt19

That scene was classic.....Jesse has been great this season

You can vote for Saul on the basis of all seasons not just this one

Saul Goodman. Because his lovable nature brightens my day.:)

IN SAUL WE TRUST

Jesse Pinkman...easily. I like several characters very much (Saul, Gus, Mike, Hank, Marie), but Jesse has always been my favorite.

I have enjoyed watching his progression. When we first met him, he seemed like a typical obnoxious wannabe thug. He seemed dumb and like he was lacking in depth.

Little by little, we learned more about him. We saw his family in the middle of season one and learned that he came from a pretty 'normal' upper-middle class background, which might have been a little surprising. It seemed like his parents had high standards and Jesse didn't meet their standards. Their relationship had been strained, probably due to his failure to live up to their expectations and his drug problem.

I've thought that it's possible that Jesse turned to drugs because of his failure to live up to his parents' expectations. It's clear that Jesse's little brother must embody what they expected from their children. They wanted them to be successful and talented in both academics and sports. It's shown that Jesse had little interest in that but rather had a penchant for the creative (as shown by his drawings). This wasn't good enough and this wasn't encouraged, so he became directionless. This is probably how he eventually fell into the 'wrong' crowd and eventually started cooking meth.

In season two and beyond, we learned that Jesse has a soft spot for kids. He sees their innocence and wants to preserve it. The episode "Peekaboo" in season two is when I really started to actuallylike Jesse (and not just find him a source of amusement). We also learned that he is actually quite a sensitive, emotional, and empathetic person in general. He feels things deeply and is often concerned about the welfare of others.

He's an interesting character because of some of his conflicts. He's been deeply involved in the meth business, which is very dangerous and damaging, but he's a deeply sensitive and emotional person who feels a lot of guilt and remorse. It's very easy to see him as a sympathetic character...and oddly as the heart of the show. He has done some bad things and there's no doubt about that, and it's not hard to forget his various screw-ups early on, but it's still easy to sympathize with him and understand where he's coming from.

As interesting as it has been to watch Walt change and transform himself into his "Heisenberg," it has been equally interesting to watch Jesse grow and change.

I voted for Jesse, he's interesting and it's been cool to see him change over the course of the show. I really liked the scene where he was sitting on the couch and Walt and Mike were arguing, like he was the kid and they were the parents. He really progressed over this season to be an adult, and he's stopped always asking what he should do, instead he's making the decisions.

Walt is still awesome though. I mean he's a crazy egotistical maniac, but that's why he's interesting.

Walt followed by Hank.

Saul Goodman

Repeat these key words: "that's not my tiger"
