| I think gradually from season 1 where we're supposed to sympathize with Walt, the series has shifted to the opposite, poisoning the child, killing Mike, etc........ prehaps this gives us a clue to the ending, |

didn't the director say he wanted to see how far he could push it before people started disliking Walt?
I don't dislike him, I feel sorry for him most of the time. But once in a while he's awesome. |

| How could you possibly feel sorry for him? |

| I still root for Walt. The brilliant thing about this show is that "the point" could be a number of things. Standing up and beating your chest saying "you're missing the point if you feel this way about character X" is ing retarded, because this show is so open-ended that any one person could feel multiple ways about the characters. The number of situations they've all been put in, and the way they've responded cause conflicting feelings in almost every case. |

| Nono, there has to be a cogent point in the end. Nevermind the whole uncertainty principle that has permeated the entire show thus far. |

| If you sympathize with Walt at this point there's something wrong with you. He either needs to go to prison or die to get what he deserves. |

| The point where Jessie states that no one is lucky like Mr. White, and the bald dude mistaken for a hitman when he was only picking up his daughter tells me that White wins. |

hah, I guess there is something wrong with me.
I really don't care for black and white, and neither does this story. I like him for his decisiveness, ruthless and 'evil' as he might be. If you want to translate that to me having any of his traits in real life, or any other pseudo psychological bull, go ahead.
I always rooted for Jerry and hated Tom with a vengeance. that mouse. |

why so serious? weren't you the bag who denounced and criticized the show before you even watched the first episode?
so don't tell people how to feel about a certain character you pathetic fool because your sense of judgment went out of the window on 4th page of this thread |

This is where your argument is failing: you're assuming that if someone feels a certain way (out of many possibilities) that there's something wrong with them. Is this the first show you've seen where the main character engages in crime-related activity or does something or multiple things that are immoral? This whole show has been a struggle with Walter trying to separate his own personality between that of Heisenberg's (see Hal's reference to the uncertainty principle) and his attempt to keep his family in tact, which was the goal in the first place. People can either choose to root for him, or against them, and the entire purpose of the show is to create those conflicting feelings. SEE AGAIN: Uncertainty principle. |
