Frankly, I'm amazed that any of us stayed with Walt after the Jane incident, not to mention the subsequent plane crash he helped inadvertently caused. Shouldn't that have been the point that the show jumped the shark and made us go, "Fuck it, I hate this guy, why should I care?" Why the hell didn't that happen?
For me, it's because Cranston is amazing. And because I didn't want to give up on Walt that early, y'know?
Why was the Brock thing still so shocking?
This is going to sound strange, but parts of this season made me forget just how far gone Walt's moral center is. And maybe not so strange, because Gus is fascinating and wonderful and delightfully evil and terrifying. So maybe that's why it was so shocking to me.
