I find that very disappointing. 5 seasons of build up between Hank and Walt and it's just squashed out by some lame group that showed up for a couple episodes in season 5? Accidentally might I add...

I wouldn't necessarily see that as a disappointment.. Breaking Bad has never been about typical story arcs, I think a Hank vs Walt showdown was something that most would see as a typical plot point -- meaning it's probably unlikely to happen in the usual fashion. If anything the Neo Nazi group is probably more in tune with the nature of the show...an unpredicted element has come into the equation to disrupt the balance of things. Besides, the characters are way too complex for a typical good (hank) vs bad (walt) showdown. This isn't an old western. These guys were family after all, and you could see Walt still had a shred of care for Hank as he tried to stop the nazi's from firing on him.
We'll see how it play out but I am kind of glad its not just a predictable ending that people could see coming from a few seasons ago. All parties are still in play. I don't think anyone has the show figured out yet, and the probably won't until the final credits.
