I just feel sorry for the guy. I mean he got cancer and he doesn't even smoke! The company he founded is now worth billions while he struggles to pay the bills! Just seems like everything is against him. And he does it all for his family and now even his wife is just waiting for him to die? I mean come on! How much can a guy take? |
I can't see Walt as any kind of sympathetic character. Not when he forces Jesse to go murder Spooge and then Gale. Not when he poisons Brock to turn Jesse against Gus. Not when he thinks his wife keeping the house is more important than all the lives he completely destroys with his product. I absolutely hated Walt almost from the beginning. If I was Skyler at that point I'd be praying for Walt to die soon too. I really disliked Skyler at the beginning of the series for how she bossed Walt around, but no one deserves the crap she has to deal with due to Walt. Having to do felony money laundering just to protect her children from that monster would make me start counting his days left too.
