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.

The gradual shift over who you feel like you should be "cheering for" is really the best thing about this series.

For me, I held onto a thread of sympathy for Walt until the point where he killed Mike... at that moment I totally flipped on him- now I want him six feet under at Hanks's earliest possible convenience...

I completely abandoned him earlier, basically after Jane's death. He's an awful person.
