Some points just don't sit right with me

First off, I'm not a troll I watched the entire series and loved it but I don't get why this episode is rated perfectly when there are some clear errors.

First thing that bugged me is Hank's death. Why did couldn't Walter use his way with words like he always does to make a deal with jack and by offering that money? I'd figured Hank would see this gesture and realize Walter really cared for him but instead he accepts death? When seconds before we saw him crawl to the shotgun and could have pulled that stunt he did to the twins. Also, Hank had so much evidence yet he only went out to the desert with Gomez with no backup? All I'm saying is he did not have to die.

Second thing, Walter Jr. Calling the cops on his dad is the stupidest move there was in the whole series, frankly in any series. The whole series they made us believe his son was always on his dad's side but here he turns on him when it was Skyler that attacked Walt... idiotic!

I was so wrapped up in this series and honestly pictured a different "perfect" episode. These two breaking points I have just described could have ended in such a better way. Some part of me likes to believe that Walter could have kept Hank alive and would somehow convince him to run free and get the money to his kids, That could have made for a far more satisfying ending; instead he sent Walt into hiding and just made me feel bad for him.

On the second breaking point, if junior wouldn't have called the cops they could have run away from all the madness, have their dad-to-son heart to heart in Bali resort and enjoy the rest of the money.

In the end, I did not like how the writers handled those two points, as I have to admit were quite shocking, not the perfect episode I would have hope for.
