* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: The flipside of him increasingly viewing and treating Jesse [[LikeASonToMe like a second son]] is that he has a form of this trope going on towards Flynn. While Walt does love Flynn, it is also clear that he, at the same time, at least subconsciously views him as somewhat of a disappointment, being especially frustrated by his son's independent streak, which his lowkey irritation of him rejecting his birthname name of "Walter Junior" and some other incidents, such as his dogged insistence that Flynn drive a car "the right way" rather than a way that allows him to compensate for his handicap, bears witness to. In a nutshell, it is frequently implied that the main reason why he favors Jesse is because of Jesse's whole WellDoneSonGuy complex, which makes him more obedient and dependent on Walt and allows Walt to act as a more "traditional" father figure, a relationship which he cannot have with his more strong-willed and free-spirited biological son.
