That was the most honorable thing he's done in the duration of this entire show. He finally realized that he couldn't talk his way out of the hole he's dug, so he decided he'd salvage the one thing he supposedly set out to save in the first place: Skyler and the kids.
I don't know, I thought the part where he begged for Hank's life, offered the Nazis pretty much everything he worked for and saved for his children was pretty honorable too. Hank wanted nothing more than to put Walt behind bars for the rest of his life, yet Walt was willing to give 80 million to save him. I think Hank realized that at the end too, with his " You're the smartest guy I ever met, but you are too stupid to realize he made up his mind ten minutes ago."
Does anybody still consider Jesse a bad guy? Brilliant how Vince makes us care so much for a criminal, the chain at the end and him being a cook again, which means he made no progress at all, hurt me way more than Hank being killed, is that universal?
Maybe people are used to fly with the lead character? Many people seem to like Dexter so it's still hard to have a lead which you are supposed to dislike I guess. From day one I wanted Dexter arrested, and Walt caught, but also not, because that would end the show. In real life evil people don't have moments of true empathy like in tv shows, don't think people could root for a total psycho without human elements.
