And plus, this isn't the case. I don't want Walt to get caught because I'd rather him have a showdown vs. Jesse.
BTW, when Walt was driving Hank to the meth lab (when Walt crashed the car), were you cheering for Walt to get caught then?

I think you are bad at understanding how fiction works (valuing "entertainment" over any sort of artistic concern). But you also raise some good points, so let me clarify my position:
As a human being, you should think that Walt deserves to be
stopped. Whether Hank (a good man and good cop who has been put through the ****ing wringer by that triad of Don Eladio's cartel & Gus & Walt) puts an end to Walt or whether Jessie (who is not so good a person, but has also been put into a situation he never asked for because of Walt, and who has certainly had extreme emotional suffering because of Walt) puts an end to Walt doesn't matter so much as the end happens. Both deserve to be the guy that stops Walt, but likely only one of them will.
I wasn't "cheering" for Hank to catch Walt in that season 4 scene. I willingly go where the show wants to go. I was too caught up in the tension of the scene -- the possibility that Walt would get found out right then and there -- to want the scene to turn out a certain way.
