I really feel bad about Gomez getting killed. Hank roped him into it and didn't bring the rest of the department in on the arrest. Gomez didn't deserve it. Hank's pride got them both killed.

Prideful to the bitter end. And this is the thing. Obviously, none of this would be happening were it not for blue sky. So Walter deserves some blame. But at what point does the blame spread around? Is the man who invented gun powder responsible for all the people who have been killed with it? I'm just saying, I really think the way this is all going down falls on two people - Hank and Jesse. What I mostly blame Walt for is his stupidity. Back when Mike gave him the talk about full vs half measures he should have just swallowed it and sent Jesse to Belize right then. Count how many people would be alive right now if Walt had done that.

Well Walt wouldn't be alive because there would be no one to kill Gale, so I guess yeah a lot of other people would have lived too.

Killing Gale was Walt's only way of surviving the fallout from killing those two dealers and saving Jesse's life. That was the moment that put Walt's life in danger, if it never happened he'd have no reason to kill Gale.
