Yeah no kidding, They were outnumbered 6 to 1. The bad guys also had high powered assault weapons. That shootout was lame and unbelievable.
This one was exceptionally egregious. Multiple high caliber weapons, all with plenty of time to sight on just two targets who are completely out in the open. They shoot first, and for some seconds Hank and Gomez just stand there and return fire. Yet not even so much of a flesh wound.
Plus, if you really want to nitpick, it was apparent from the verbal exchange that these guys would never have opened fire if Hank & Gomez Pyle could have just proved they were cops.
So, both were armed but somehow left their badges at home? Even if they had, were I either of them, I would have immediately started shouting out my name, my rank, my years with the force, anything that might have continued to give this army of bad guys further reason to rethink killing me.
Instead, they said nothing. But, yeah, I know, that's how TV works.
Walt needed to get rid of Jesse a long time ago. Now, It just annoys the shit out of me over the amount of indecision Walt has about what to do about Jesse's behavior.
Of course, Jesse IS a coward and only ran to the cops because he couldn't get Walt otherwise...now, he is trying to weasel out of the shootout. I was hoping they would just snipe Jesse and piece out. Of course, Hank would have been all over Walt's ass.
Anyway, seeing as how Hank and Gomie are carrying out this unauthorized undercover investigation...I don't see how any of this info they gathered can be used against Walt.
Yep, at least Marie got a call from Hank (even if it's likely the last time they'd talk).
Walt jr kills Walter in the final episode.
damn Marie spilled the beans.

Something else poorly written was that when Walt said don't come, he didn't say anything about 'it's the DEA here', or 'if you come the deal is off'.
While I agree the Nazi's were terrible shots, you honestly think those same Nazis would have put down their guns had Hank and Gomez showed their badges? They were just drawing them closer so they could miss with their first 100 shots. Each.
I don't see how that constitutes poor writing. Why would he have said either of these things?
They wouldn't have killed them. Outside of the crazies and amateurs, experienced "pro" criminals know that killing a cop is the surest way to make sure the law enforcement community will make every effort to run them to ground and then get sympathetic prosecutors to seek the death penalty for them once caught.

I'm not convinced of that in this context. These are the same guys who murdered ten prime witnesses in prison - fear of consequences doesn't seem to play much of a role in their decision-making. New Mexico doesn't have the death penalty, and it's relatively rare for the federal government (which would at least potentially have had jurisdiction over this case since two federal agents would be victims) to give the death penalty, much less actually execute anyone. I took it that they would absolutely have killed Hank and Gomez (who could identify them and might remember their license plate numbers) no matter what.
