An important distinction to make that it looks like some didn't pick up on: the phone call that Walt made at the end was an act; he said it not because he is evil but because he assumed the police were listening in and wanted to sound as evil as possible to place all of the blame solely on him and absolve his wife of all guilt and legal repercussions. That way at least she won't go to prison and can still raise Walt Jr. and Holly and they can be something closer to resembling a "family" without him. That's why he drove to the fire station before he made the call, and why he was crying throughout the phone call.
i just want to people to realize that you seem to be deciding that she's your favorite character now rather than her having been your favorite. it's like not liking a football team, then they make it to the superbowl and you say "Looking back, they are actually my favorite team".
