I think it says a lot about how AMC puts shows together that the big “note” the Walking Dead guys got when they submitted the script for the first episode was “slow down”, they want characters to breath and grow, they aren’t looking for fast cycles of big reveals and scares, they want the audience to get to know them before killing them (how about that second season finale of Hell on Wheels, woh). I’m surprised your husband still like Walter White, the goal of the story arc is to finish the show with him hated, he’s gotten pretty unlikable at this point.
I didn’t say hubby liked “Walter White”. I said he likes Bryan Cranston (the actor). He likes him as an actor because he puts everything he has into his character. So, yeah, WW has become a truly terrible human being. Bryan Cranston has made that seem entirely believable.
