So all things being equal, why are we rooting for X or Y?

That's essentially all my original post boiled down to... WHO YOU WITH. It comes up with this show every now and again. Now that we're post-Garage Scene, to me the topic feels more relevant than ever.

You're the one came in here tracking shit all over the floor so don't put that on me.

Well, no, but I will cop to one assumption though: I figured that since you're here, on a message board, still discussing the episodes well beyond their run time, that maybe you were invested enough that this type of topic would interest you.

Obviously it doesn't interest you, or else you wouldn't have replied so many times.

Well hold on now, I gave you an under-analyzing option, too. If you cheer for the main character by default because that's just how stories work, that's cool too. I mean, I think it's wrong in this case, but that's an opinion, not an attack on your character.

You always like to see the bad guy win? Or is it more of a novelty thing for you for BB? Or is it something about Walter White/Bryan Cranston that makes you feel this way?

My 'Revenge of the Nerds' comment aside, I promise I couldn't be less interested in internet fights. I just like opinions.
