The fact that you mention hating Walt is interesting. I don't hate him, and I don't think my flatmate does, either. I think I knew from the start, as most people did, that he was going to get to this point, going to get this bad, and that has had an influence on me and how I interpret his character: the horrible things he does doesn't leave me thinking "wow, how horrible", but rather "holy shit, that was fantastic, look at how terrible he's getting". There was a while during which I really hated his character, but it wasn't because of horrible things he had done, but more smaller things, like the way he acted and treated other people - really minor stuff compared to murder et cetera. I'd be interested to see how other people feel about his character. Thoughts, b_b, onehunna? (I'll refrain from tagging TNG and MK in case they haven't seen it yet).
