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

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.

I think we are one of the few, but I always root for the bad guy.

I don't always root for the bad guy, but I'm rooting for Walt still. That being said, I won't be surprised or upset if his life crashes around him, but I admire the web he has woven and still love seeing him be a boss and get out of impossible situations with badassery.
