She never sold any drugs, she never killed anyone, she was just struggling and a little messed up. And may I mention, a year and a half clean until Jesse entered her life. This is not to blame her backslide on him, or completely on him, she should have had the sense to leave the house when he got high even though she wanted to help him get through Combo dying. Ultimately it's her life and her responsibility. But she was clean before that.

If she was a recovering addict, then it stands to reason she knew how evil heroin addiction is. Facilitating anyone to take heroin is a terrible thing to do to anyone, and I would say pretty evil.

Man, again it seems like the female character gets looked at in a far harsher light than the male characters. I really wonder sometimes. I could go on, but I'll leave it alone and get back to Walt's actions.

I don't think I'm the only one around here that gets a little offended every time you try to make into something sexist anytime someone doesn't like a female character in this show, so maybe cool it on that claim. If anything, it would be sexist to give her a pass due to her gender.. She was a mean spirited person who wanted Jesse for his money and what it could get her. At that point, Walt cared way more for Jesse's welfare than she did.

Walt definitely did it for selfish reasons. And even if he wanted to make sure she had less influence on him, he definitely could have helped her in that moment. Who just let's a person die, especially when saving them takes almost no effort?
In fact, if he HAD saved her, that might have been her wake up call, or his. They might have looked at Walt differently, listened to him a bit. So much good could have come from it. But he let her die.

They were in such a downward spiral at that time, I doubt it would have been a wake up call. Junkies don't tend to rationalize that easy. If anything Jesse would have been pissed about Walt being there at all.
