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 |
Right, because that makes sense. It's not like I watched the whole series or anything. |

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. |
Have you never seen me post about Dexter? A serial killer who kills murderers. Someone who does immoral things, but within a code where he only hurts those who deserve it. You sympathize with him because of this. He lives by a code of morals. Walt doesn't, he's out to protect himself and nobody else. If he gave a about his family he wouldn't constantly be subjecting them to danger and/or prison time. |

| I'm pretty sure if Walt didn't care about his family, Hank would no longer be alive right now. |

| Walt hasn't killed Hank because he knows Hank has nothing to prove his guilt. I think he'd have no qualms in killing him as he obviously would have no qualms in ruining his life. |

Hank has Jesse, which is pretty close. Hank doesn't give a about Jesse, he just thinks he's a drug addled loser who is expendable once he's done with him.
How many times has Saul offered to help get rid of Hank? Walt has gotten brutally offended every time that option has even been put on the table. In the same vein, Walt refuses to let Jesse die, because Jesse is like a son to him. |

Jesse is not like a son to him at all! Are you being serious right now? Walt doesn't give a about Jesse, he's just another person in his way now. What Jesse said to him in the desert was spot on. And poisoning a child who he knew Jesse cared about? Do you do that to someone you care about like a son?
Walt also doesn't know hank has Jesse. |

| The only reason Walt tries to make it seem like he cares is to gain Jessie's trust so he can protect himself (as always). |

Episode - Salud
Walt: Do you like the car I got you?
Walt Jr: Y-Y-Yeah I love it dad.
Walt: that's good Jesse.
Walt Jr gives him an awkward stare
I think he does care for him, or at least he used to. When he saved Jesse from the rival dealers in "Half Measures", he had nothing to gain and everything to lose, and yet he did it.
But I think at this point, he'd definitely kill Jesse, especially in self-defense. |

all in all, how many innocent people has Walt killed if you don't count the possibility of ODs from his drugs?
not even sure if this is a point, because I can't remember. |
