Aaron Paul Deserves Another Emmy For This Week's Episode Of 'Breaking Bad'

Paul has already won two Primetime Emmys in 2010 and 2012 for the role of broken drug addict Jesse Pinkman on "Breaking Bad." Last night's episode confirmed he deserves a third.

We knew this was going to be an intense episode. Last week, Pinkman headed over to Walt's house with the intent of burning it down.

The first time we see him in Season 5, episode 12 "Rabid Dog," the emotion on his face is so entirely raw, there is no doubt in our mind that this is a broken man who has been through the wringer.

Between Paul finally standing up against "that a--hole" Mr. White, deciding to work with Hank, and then burst out in traditional paranoid Pinkman mode for no reason at the end of the episode, the man never stopped looking like a scared, broken, desperate puppy the entire time and it was brilliant.

The moments when Paul bursts out are some of the hardest and best moments on television to watch because we empathize with this young man who has been manipulated by someone who he deeply trusted.

This is a man who you can't help but feel empathy for because there are so many levels of manipulation going on that Jesse is almost right to be paranoid.

He's playing Mr. White, Mr. White is playing him. On top of that, nearly everyone else - Saul, Skyler, and Hank - think he may be better off dead.

The only man sort of on his side, is the one man he can't trust (White) and by the end of the episode, Pinkman even drives him away to the point that Walt finally takes out a hit on him.

Throughout the entire episode, many thought Paul deserved praise for his exceptional performance. It was all that many on Twitter couldn't stop talking about.

Others thought Dean Norris (who plays Hank) also deserved an Emmy.
