One of the trio's biggest errors?: Not awaking Snape in the shack (PoA)

Once Pettigrew had been resumed to human form, what if the trio DID decide to awake Snape?

Snape sees Pettigrew - sees Sirius is innocent. When the Dementors attack - Snape casts a patronus. No time travel needed - Snape tells Fudge what really happened - Sirius is cleared and doesn't have to live as a fugitive.

Just a chain of events I'm wondering about. Thoughts?

EDIT:

Hillariously, I think Snape would help clear Sirius's name but still advocate for the trip being suspended for being out of bounds at night.

Snape's plan for the night would be:

"Alright lets clear Black's name... Then we'll get you suspended Potter."

Delilah's selfless love for Ellie is one of the most tragic parts of season 2

The entirety of season 2 really shows how much Delilah loves her little sister.

One of the most telling parts as to this is how when she was in the cage she had more concern for Ellie than herself:

"Please let me go! Ellie needs me!"

Even when her life is in danger... She's still thinking of her baby sister.

Selfless. Loving....

And taken from this world.

Season 5 Joe was not out of character

I feel this is something people say just because they wanted to think the character has more morals than he actually has.

Which part is out of character? He has always been a man who brutalizes women for calling out his shit. Season 2 shows us he strangled Beck, season 4 showed him torturing Marianne (which honestly I'd say is worse than anything he did in season 5).

Really the only difference from the earlier seasons are that he had began to think he could get away with anything, which makes sense considering the shit ton of plot armour he has always had. Most people would think they were indestructible if they had escaped as much as he has. That and also he had accepted his Rhys side... So I'm unsure why people are so surprised he's more murder happy in season 5?

He has always been a murderous abuser to women. Nothing new there. Season 5 just highlighted it more.

To use an analogy, saying Joe is out of character in season 5 is like saying Walter White was out of character in the last season of Breaking Bad.

Just a reminder that it's okay to love and defend these characters. It's just a show afterall!

Says a lot that I had to put Beck here, but indeed she is as hated as the domestic abusers.

(But on a slightly more serious level, the Joe/Love defence argument I am mocking can be proven through these characters to be less "it's okay to romanticize them, it's fictional!" and more "it's okay to romanticize them, it's fictional and I happen to like them!")

Unpopular Take: I have no sympathy for Mike

An odd take is that it's really sad that Mike lost Gus's meth operation.

It's... a meth operation. It killed a kid.

It giving Mike a sense of identity and purpose doesn't mean it should have stuck around regardless of what it meant for anyone else. The world doesn't revolve around Mike Ermantraut.

Mike's anger at Walt for it is also pretty annoying. Walt should have... let himself get murdered so Mike could keep the job he loved? Or not get himself into that situation in the first place by letting Jesse get blasted by child killers....?

I repeat; the world does not revolve around Mike Ermantraut the meth empire enforcer.

If Jesse Pinkman (Breaking Bad) were female, she'd be hated

The Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul fanbase generally hates women.

Walter White is loved and defended despite running a meth empire, murdering multiple people, assaulting his wife while Skyler is hated for challenging him.

Jesse Pinkman is loved despite being a meth dealer and trying to get recovering addicts hooked on meth even when he already has enough money, while Jane Margolis is hated for getting Jesse hooked on heroin and blackmailing Walt.

Gustavo Fring is loved despite running a meth empire, highly implied to have ordered a hit on a kid, ordering hits on civillians who aren't even in the game while Lydia is hated for ordering hits on liabilities to her.

Marie Schrader is hated despite generally being a decent person, good wife, good sister and good aunt. ("Marie is a loving sister and sister-in-law who has got some quirks and sharp edges to her but has a good heart."

Vince Gilligan)

Imagine if fan favourite Jesse, were actually Jessica Pinkman, and argued and challenged Walter as much as he does...

Would be hated in a second.
