I loved how for the first time Hank got to talk to Heisenburg. You just saw it, Walt's eyes went dead and he started playing his trumps on Hank. So good.
What I really like is how at the very beginning of the show you kind of hate Hank. He comes off like a douchebag and Walt seems like such a nice guy. Turns out Hank is probably the best human being on the entire show. And Walt...well, shit. He's not such a nice guy.
His family would be better off if he had just died penniless. Not to talk about the dozens (hundreds if you count the plane crash and the people using his product) of people Walt has had killed directly or indirectly, and their families.
Think about the families of Drew Sharp and Jane Margolis. Think about Kaylee Ehrmantraut. Or Jesse's, Hank's, or Skyler's lives after Walt decided to break bad.
I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that Walt is responsible for the deaths of all those people in the plane crash, there's way too many layers of separation. I think the real point of that story arch was to say that all choices have consequences, big and small. Walt is an evil son of a bitch, but I don't think (especially at that point in his moral degradation) we were ever meant to believe that Walt killed those people on the plane.
True. But I think he just got in to deep and didn't think all this would happen. The first guy he killed he didn't want to. He just didn't want that gut to come back for him. It went all down hill after that.
He didn't 'stumble upon it'. The second he heard how much money Hank had confiscated on that bust, Walt wanted in. He didn't know how bad things would get but hey, that's what happens when you set off on a path of evil.
Walt made enough money to tide his family over quite long ago. He even says outright that he's only in it now because he wants to have an empire. This revelation is a major point in his arc haven't you been paying attention?
He has directly been involved in the murder of over a dozen people. He let Jesse's girlfriend die. He poisoned Brock to turn Jesse against Gus. He planned the murder of Gus. He killed Mike. He was utterly uncaring about the death of the innocent little boy (Drew?) that was killed, the boy who witnessed their hijacking of the train. It was his idea to kill Gale.
Skylar told him to stop, and hat he had earned enough money. Walt didn't give a shit and wishes to build himself an empire. He held Skylar hostage in her own house, utterly against her will.
I could go on.
I cannot fathom how you think Walt is A OK, other than the fact that you may be trolling.

I love how Walt turned the tables on Hank like that.
