Anyone feel sorry for Walt in 'Ozymandias'?
He really was pretty blameless in this one episode. (Note I didn't say "ever" or "over the course of the series", just this one episode) He did everything he could to prevent Hank form being murdered, and did not know it was Hank when he called the Nazi crew, then has his money stolen. His crazy wife pulls a knife on HIM and stabs him, which then turns into his half-wit son telling the police that he pulled the knife on HER. This didn't exactly make me hate Walt and be on team Skyler. Note that all this happened because that fatsumbitch Hank had to gloat about arresting a family member to his hideous wife, who then had to gloat about that to Skyler and Junior. Had she not done that, they wouldn't have kept questioning him where Hank was. And all this was caused by Pinkman being a rat fink. The whole thing frustrated me. They should have made his downfall more obviously caused by Walt's direct actions, but he had pretty much got out of the game at this point and it was other people not being able to let it go and just leave him be that led to his endgame.
