Finished the series this weekend. Ok, not great, real slow at times.

Some take away's;

Walt should have killed his wife in season 2 or 3, she was annoying to the point killing her would have greatly improved the show.
Glad to see Hank get it, he should have let it go. He got to be annoying.
Walt should have took the advice, never do business with a junkie.

If either of these things had happened/didn't happen it pretty much ruins the concept of the show. If he kills his wife, he truly has no reason to keep cooking to take care of his "family" which is his logic up until the end.

And if Hank isn't an actually really good agent (or his damn brother in law), he never makes half the connections that happens and Walt never gets the idea to cook meth in the first place.

Junkie part however is spot on.

All true but she was so annoying to the point we stopped watching it for a few weeks. I liked Hank up until the end, that is when him and his wife should have dropped it as they had nothing to gain.

What still amazes me, when listening to analysis from the actors and writers, is the demonization of Walt in comparison to Jesse, Mike and even Gus. If Walt had been the complete douche he's depicted as, he would've let Gus's drug dealers kill Jesse...Gus valued those drug dealers' lives more than the kid they murdered and Jesse being the sanctimonious bleeding heart that he was, ended up costing that "poisoned kid" his mother. Walt just wanted to cook...nominally to provide for his family but we know he ultimately did it for his perfect scientific happiness.

Re-watching and in season 5. In the first-go-round I was conflicted about Walter. This time no conflict. I hate him. He is such a colossal idiot. Cannot believe he wouldn't sell out for $5M (among 100 other terrible decisions). Makes me hate him so much because it's the worst move in every way for everyone involved.

Should have found another way to keep him in the game, IMO. I guess maybe Vince wants me to hate Walt, though.

I think, at that point, it was no longer about money. For instance, he probably wouldn't have done it for $50 million. He wanted to be powerful like Gus was. Selling out at that point wouldn't have never gotten him there.

I get that, I just don't like it. I kinda don't believe it either. It's cliche. For once I want there to be a kingpin who gets out when he has a chance. Why wouldn't the science geek be the one to do that?

At first it was about the money for Walt to help his family. I forget what point it was in the show because it's been a while since I watched it, but there was a turning point where all he cared about was his masterpiece and only he could create it. He wanted all of the power. I agree he should have taken the buyout and just lived off of that and the car wash money. But it's a show and that wouldn't have made as good of an ending as what Vince wrote.

Huff, I'm with you. I think after season 3 I was done with Walt and his stupidity. I was absolutely done with his wife and BIL, I was hoping he would have them killed.

Right, but when you write fiction the sky is the limit. So Walt takes the $5M and gets out...making him much more likable, and then Hank makes his discovery and we proceed with basically the ending we got.
