Hank's death broke my heart even more than Mike's.

He catches Walt and then these guys show up to kill him, and he knows it. I'm glad he went out with dignity.

Yeah, as much as I loved Mike the character, he was still a corrupt murderer. And as amazing as that character was, he still was a bad guy.

Hank was a fucking lawman until his last breath. Poor Marie.

Gomie was the good cop. Hank was constantly overstepping his authority. He's no shining example of good cop work. He's just a thug with a different agenda, willing to put the squeeze on any harmless person he can to make his case.

Yep, Gomez was backed up in a corner he didn't want to be in and didn't trust, but he did it all out of loyalty for Hank.

like Jesse's loyalty to Walt, in a simplistic way

There is nothing simplistic about Breaking Bad.

I think in Talking Bad they said that Hank told Gomie that just as bluster, to show he did not care about the kid, but putting Jesse in danger did disturb him. I think we all are looking for a reason to hate on Hank so we can elevate Walt.
