‘Homecoming’ Director Breaks Down Walter Cruz’s Dark – and Deadly – Turn in Season 2

article says that Walter committed mass murder in the last episode. this is totally different than how is saw it. It is not entirely clear in the article if the director confirms this or if it is just the authors take.

Walter and Leonard did not commit mass murder. All the evidence we see in that episode militates against that conclusion. The red liquid erases memory; it is not lethal. It causes people to pass out for a time and wake up without a memory. But they are not dead.

Walter and Leonard did not "Break Bad". They have not gone entirely crazy and deranged. Both of their natures appear to be good ones who are interested in doing good in the world and having a keen and decent moral sense. What could possibly motivate them to commit mass murder. Their motivation was to prevent this vile berry from become a mass-produced product that screws with humanity. Their action may have gone to far, but they were certainly motivated by the desire to avert greater harm to humanity. Even at the end, look at what Walter is reading in his file. He looks at the names of the other soldiers in the Homecoming program. One suspects his next mission in life is to seek them out and help them deal with the harm that was done to them.
