GLEE! I'm really glad that you like it and all the different aspects of Walter come through. He breaks my heart but he's really a terrible human being, and usually that's a recipe for me absolutely hating a character everyone else loves, AND YET. WALTER. MY HEART. And you're right, I have no idea how the show accomplishes it. Perhaps by focusing more on Walter's deep devastation and guilt and also on how, well, lost and tragic and small he's become, rather than on trying to make us feel bad for him about it, and therefore we choose to? But...even that doesn't quite seem to cover it.
I'm very pleased that the parallels between Peter and Olivia as children - the things that Walter did to them - come through. It's one of the motifs in the series I find really interesting.
As always your comment is gleeeee. Infinity divided by Walter!
