I had to start watching Breaking Bad at my parents' house since I don't have cable.
And...
They've been making fun of me so bad. They say I'm like a kid with Saturday morning cartoons. I guess my reactions are too strong. I can't be the only one who gets so frustrated when things get all fucked up, right?
Not a fan of cliffhanger endings. Todds crew has the worst aim. Hank was standing out in the open and nobody managed to land a shot.

Up until this season, I loved Hank. He was the douche bag comical relief. Like the very idea of what an egotistical cop would be. Talks like he's big shit. lol
But this season... he's just TOO extreme. I understand that he's DEA so he hates drugs, and generally if you kill someone, you're a bad guy (Walt) but he never even gave Walt the chance to explain ANYTHING. Hank knew he had cancer, wouldn't he consider something other than Walt just being "a monster?" Though he may just be pissed Walt lied to him and the rest of the family.
Also, side note: I really hate how they keep refering to Walt as "greedy." I just don't see the greed! Even in his phone call SPOILER:(anyone else freak out during that? He just confessed to everything! Now Hank MUST die or Walt is fucked!) he went back to the reason of his children. I think Walt is just obsessed with the recognition, not the money. He was a brilliant chemist, and got stuck teaching high school chemistry because his 1st monopoly idea went bust (well, not technically)
I think Walt is obsessed with spreading his reputation. Yes, the money is for his childen, but the status is what he craves. I mean, I would too if I severely "failed" at something I knew I was good at, and then suddenly caught a break to be known as "brilliant" again and not just a high school teacher...

I've had the opposite reaction. First few seasons, I despised Hank and really enjoyed seeing Walt get one over on him right under his nose. Even though I knew what Walt was doing was wrong (not because it was illegal, but because it meant facilitating the ruination of hundreds, ultimately thousands of lives for monetary gain), I was still rooting for him.
Gradually though, Walt's turned to the dark side. He let a girl die when he could have easily saved her, indirectly contributing to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people in the plane crash; he posioned a child; he killed Mike for no reason other than Mike hurt his pride; he shrugged off an innocent child being murdered right in front of him; he put a hit out on Jesse... he's a bad man, ya know? Hank meanwhile... Hank's just doing his job. Not only that, but throughout the series, we've actually seen Hank back up his "tough cop" attitude - we've seen him in bar fights, we've seen him outgun action movie mobsters, we've seen him survive being shot and working through physical therapy, and we've even seen him prove that he's deceptively smart. Almost as smart as Walt. I actually really like Hank now.
I also like that Walt still has that human element to him. He's not just a one-dimensional bad guy. He still values things like family. He tried to call off the hit on Jesse once he realised Hank was likely to get killed in the crossfire even though had the white supremacists taken out Hank and his partner (as well as Jesse), Walt would have been in the clear. No more people wanting to kill him, no more people investigating him.
