No, I just finished season 2! I could not believe he let Jane die.
But I shouldn't have been so surprised. Walter killed Crazy Eight with his hands in season one! And consider the horrors he has stood and watched since then.
But Jane wasn't threatening to kill his family! She only threatened his freedom, and she was eager to be bought off!
Yeah, that was definitely a moment when I hated Walt. I also thought the devastation on her father's face was crushing.
I thought it was interesting that it's the episode after she dies that we finally see the inside of her home -- like the show made a point of ensuring that we saw that she was full person with her own passions and art.
I've seen some people criticize the show's use of coincidence: like having Walt and Donald meet in the bar in that second-last episode. Me, I think these moments are central to the theme of the show: that you can't just compartmentalize something like drug manufacture. That there are always connections to your life, your friends, your family.

But she was leading Jesse into danger.
Serious moral issues! It is very interesting!
