I had an interesting conversation about Hank with one of my co-workers. She came from a family of several cops, and apparently those guys were pretty arrogant assholes. She saw Hank's character in Season 1 and immediately hated him.
I've had no such experience with cops, and I always liked Hank and rooted for him. So I guess whether or not you like Hank is based at least partially on life experiences.
I'm also a huge Bryan Cranston fan. I think his portrayal of Walt's various personalities is pure genius. I think Bryan Cranston will be a fabulous Lex Luthor in the Superman/Batman movie, and I would NEVER have thought that after Malcolm in the Middle. That guy can just plain act.
That being said, I completely root against Walt. In my view he "broke bad" beyond the point of redemption, and I am rooting for Jesse to put him down in the finale. It's nice that he felt bad when Hank was gunned down, but it was pretty much 100% Walt's fault it happened, so he doesn't earn a lot of sympathy from me for his remorse. But at least he DID feel some remorse for that, unlike some of the other times in this show.
(Cue for Walt's defenders to jump in and say "But, but, but, everything he did was to survive!")
