Well a lot of people root for Darth Vader too.

One thing we won't miss about Breaking Bad - the armchair psychologists who can't get over why some viewers like or dislike certain characters from the show, and condescend toward anyone who feels differently than they do.

He lost everything, his ex-wife, son and the rest of society think he's a horrible monster, he died alone.  This is after spending the last X number of months in pure misery.  His victories were some small amount of personal redemption, and the money for his kids.  Not such a pleasant ending for Walt in my book.

While I've always liked BB, I'm nowhere near the biggest fan and in fact have been a bit disappointed with the show over the past few seasons.  Loved the first few, but have been disappointed the last few, and think it plays loose with cartoonish characters and outlandish plots too often to be considered great.

Season 2 of Dexter was pretty good!  Still had the excitement going.  Even 3 was watchable because Jimmy Smits carried it pretty well.  4 was where I couldn't take it anymore.

Breaking Bad would never engage in thoroughly unlikely plot devices, or have the characters act in silly, irrational fashion, to enhance the drama.  That's as crazy as saying the brothers were cartoonish villains.  Now please stop discussing this.

Todd is easily one of the most fascinating characters in the show's run at this point.  He is utterly ruthless combined with a pure-as-driven-snow demeanor.  He doesn't bat an eye or feel remorse for killing the kid, but is genuinely - overly, even - nice and respectful to his elders and associates for the most part.

I think for the most part Walt operates on pure, heartless logic in most of his crimes and endeavors.  Not even a matter of right and wrong, just pragmatism and if someone gets hurt along the way, well it had to be done.

I think Jesse's betrayal and threats were justification enough for Walt….not quite murder for its own sake.

Well I think Ozymandias was emphasized because it symbolized the theme of the season…..this powerful man who had built a great kingdom, who thought his triumphs and legacy would stand for ages.  But when a traveler comes upon them later they're in ruins, faded with time and turned to dust.

Walt > Jesse.

Except that they found Jesse, so I'm not sure you can say his hiding place was all that smart.

"Walt is saying: I never loved you. I never cared about you. It’s always been only what you could do for me."

Leaving everything he's done aside, selling meth at rehab was where he tipped the scales to "who would do something like that?".  It was a uniquely ruthless thing to do.  Just no way to defend him.

To be fair, when we met Jesse he was a hair's breadth away from DEA capture despite being a tiny operation.  And it was his own idiocy that got him into trouble every time, not his association with Walt.

Jesse is an objectively terrible person. I'm amazed his character generates so much sympathy.

Or then there's "Jesse is a hack meth cook, killer, irrational spaz who cooperates with his most hated enemy to take down the one person that cares about him…but he feels bad about it!  So I love him."

But it was for Jesse.  Walt could have gotten away clean in almost every situation he mentioned if it weren't for trying to help Jesse.

"What are the other plausible explanations for breaking into the house and soaking the floor with gasoline?"

She doesn't even know that.  She knows there is gas on the floor.  To me, there would be many more plausible possibilities for that happening than "someone was going to burn our house down then decided not to halfway through"……now THAT would be an unlikely occurrence.
