Walt had his reasons for getting into this in the first place, but right from the start it's been his own pride, stubbornness, weakness, and anger that has driven the worsening of every situation, including what happened to Hank. He's put his entire family in danger. And right from the start it didn't have to be that way, if he had accepted the money from his friend the way Hank and Marie accepted the money from Walt himself later on. He's made his own bed every step of the way, and even the things that are outside of his control have been set off by his selfish actions. And the thing is, it's other people who have been and are probably going to suffer because of his incredibly poor decision making. I don't cheer for Walt anymore. I'm afraid that even if he manages to get out of these situations, he wouldn't learn any lessons. He seems to be incapable of learning lessons anymore. I don't know if it's even possible for him to return to a straight, normal life (though I could see it happening and making him miserable at the end). Don't get me wrong, I love everything that's happening. But I have a lot of fun cheering for Hank instead of Walt, and urging people to put Walt out of his misery and make the world a better place.



I have more sympathy for Jesse than for Walt. Jesse has done some pretty bad things too, but I think he's more capable of redemption.



Hee. I get the feeling Gus hasn't killed him precisely because he likes to go visit him and rub in his recent failures.
