I won't post spoilers yet but I agree I will miss Breaking Bad. I have to say I was very satisfied with the finale.

If you haven't watched and you click you deserve the spoilers. With that said I'm actually going to talk about it. So SPOILERS ahead assholes.

I don't like the finality of Walt's death. As in he could have pretty feasibly survived - and maybe he did if they want to make a movie. Although I hope they don't.

But look at this medically. You have to lose 3+ pints of blood to die. Walt did nothing of the sort. I have a friend who was shot though the bottom of his lung and bled profusely as he drove himself to the hospital. He managed to survive. Add that in with that Walt has a habit of fainting from physical stress. He could very much have survived that. Although it's very obvious that is his end - in his lab.

I just want to know where the money is?! And were Todd and Lydia planning on murdering the brotherhood and running off together??? Felt like the ricin was an afterthought. I would have loved for them to have another exit for it, than a character like Lydia.

Heard ol' Walt bit it; but I also heard that he was shot and laying on the ground bleeding when the locals/DEA busted in and found him. Kinda ambiguous, dontcha think?
That maybe the dude might've survived?

There's nothing more really to add to the story. The man decimated his family out of his own selfish empire. He committed numerous murders, and eventually everything caught up to him. There is no chance for redemption now, and the book is closed. The one solace is that his family is getting enough money to live comfortably after a couple years.

If he survives for them to make a movie or anything, it will ruin the story, unless Walt lives out suffering in jail until cancer takes him.

And you believe that.....?
Sure, the dude really transformed from a scared teacher who got into drugs to cure his cancer into a murderous druglord, but, hey, he could be like the title implies; BREAKING-BAD.

I don't watch enough Tele, apparently. I'm to busy watching the other stuff like Auction Hunters, American Pickers and the like. High brow stuff :)

The title implies that he "broke bad" to start cooking. It's like when Jessie was asking Walt in season 1 about his motivation. He says "I've never known someone who was like 50 just to break bad."

So that was taken out of context. You seem to be missing out on the major thematic elements. Everything I said on this thread is a point of non-contention of breaking bad fans.

At the end, Walt tells it like it is... He didn't do it for "Family"... He did it because he liked it, and it "felt good to be alive."

Bye, bad karma, 'Breaking Bad' 'bitches'... ;)...

Probably gonna see a "Jesse" sequel soon, though, right?

Saul has a sequel, definitely.

I actually just watched the finale. You know, I didn't think they could top "Crystal Blue Persuasion" as a meth-cooking theme song, but I had obviously forgotten about one of the greatest songs ever recorded. That ending with that song was perfect.

Totally agree... Great ending and music.

With Jesse driving off into the sunset, it felt like there is a sequel in the works. I read somewhere that "Saul" is gonna get a spin-off, too. His character is a ridiculous stereotype, but so FUN!... Since he has to "get out of Dodge", too... I wonder where he will end up?... L.A. seems appropriate.

P.S. Regarding "Crystal Blue Persuasion"... It seems so prescient, as if the song were written long ago, just to be in this show... Weird and wonderful... But!... Meth ain't!

Yes, there's definitely a "Better Call Saul" spinoff in the works. I wonder if it will be straight-out comedy?

I've never tried meth, but one interesting thing about "Breaking Bad" was how it never for a minute made actually doing meth seem even remotely appealing.

I just woke up with a start, realizing this about the final episode.

SPOILER ALERT! if you haven't watched it yet.









Although I enjoyed it immensely, I never really bought the scene where Walt tries to scare the Schwartzes into funneling his money to Walt Jr.

First of all, as much of an impression as Walt made, I think the Schwartzes would still probably go to the authorities. Because that's what people like them do.

Second of all, would Walt really want to leave his son $9 million on his 18th birthday -- especially when he knows his son will be going through a period of deep uncertainty and re-examination of everything he thought he knew?

Walt understood human behavior as well as he understood chemistry. He knew the $9 million was toast -- there was no way he could ever get it to his family and, as a lump sum to his son, he wouldn't want to.

But by emphatically convincing the Schwartzes of his depravity and capacity for violence, he knew he would stoke their sympathy for Skyler and Walt Jr. His emotionally damaged son won't get to go on a binge of drugs, hookers and Dodge Challengers for his 18th birthday, but he'll get his education paid for, and his mom and little sister will get a decent place to live. Pretty much what Walt wanted when he first started cooking.

Walter White is dead. Long live Walter White.
