I suspect the writer's dilema here is neither possible endings at this stage are particularly satisfying, theres no particular 'prize' at the end to tie up all the loose ends and leave us feeling satisfied, if Walt kills Gus we end up thinking 'now what?' if Gus kills Walt it leaves the bad guy winning which is never likely in a US show, at best I can see Walt and Gus killing each other off and Jesse somehow being redeemed and walking out the 'winner'.

Your second point is why I went off this show a while back, the origanal idea, of a normal bloke finding himself doing illeagal activities in a crisis was interesting, from Tuco onwards it has devolved into little more than a Meth based MacGyver.
