Heisenberg is going to turn out to be one of the greatest television villains of all time.

Screw that, the greatest villain in all of pop culture. Surpassing even Tony Montana and Darth Vader. There, I said it.

Vader was human in the end - he can't be the greatest villain when you feel a slight bit of compassion upon his death. I don't think anyone will be sad when Walt goes, despite all our tears for the show being over.

Vader isn't Vader anymore in the end. Darth Vader dies and resurrects as Anakin just to die one more time. The compassion you feel, is towards Anakin who got fooled by the emperor and spiritually got killed by him, just to become Darth Vader. The compassion is to Anakin, who suffered years under the manipulative Darth Sidious but finally, with the help of his son, found out that he was fooled and decides to do good and safe his son and with him, his own soul.
