It's kind of the whole point of the show. It's in the damned title.

He had the gasoline and the match. Just light it. It wasn't just Walt he ratted out. By talking, he ratted out everyone connected to them.

The people who keep insisting that Jesse Pinkman is the moral center of the show.

Someone who has the correct view that Jesse is the show's moral center must also be someone who recognizes that no one on the show that isn't a child (or Gomie, I suppose) is blameless. |

I think whether or not Walt remains sympathetic is intentionally up to the viewer.
Even though he's gone way beyond the pale there's still part of me that wants him to somehow get away. I know he can't, really, but I don't find myself thinking, "I can't wait until they get Walt." It's part of what makes the show great. They want you to be conflicted. It's by design. Yes, they're pushing Walt further and further into darkness, but they no doubt want at least some people, in some way, to want to see Walt keep going- keep getting "lucky". To win in some fashion. |

I'm not really rooting for anyone. I just watch it and am entertained by it. They've all done bad things so whatever happens is ok by me. Kinda feel bad for Pinkman currently though. That dude has gotten the shit kicked out of him like 100 times lol. Poor guy.

I don't feel bad for Pinkman. He coulda taken the money and split instead of throwing it out the window like a ****ing moron.

Fair enough. Just assume no one has that point of view and that I made it up.

Dude murdered someone in cold blood. I get the moral center argument, but it does seem weak.

But I don't really know why it matters who the moral center is. Pinkman is more conflicted about what they've done, sure, but is there really much nobility in feeling guilty for what you've done? Jesse might be the moral center, but Walt's the protagonist, he's the story center, for good or bad. |
