Perfect ending to an amazing show.

(To the writers of Dexter... that's how it's done!)

Anthony Hopkins Wrote Bryan Cranston The Best 'Breaking Bad' Fan Letter Ever

Is there anyone who doesn't love "Breaking Bad"?

After binge-watching all five seasons of the AMC series in two weeks, actor Anthony Hopkins enjoyed the show so much that he was compelled to write lead actor Bryan Cranston an email praising him along with the entire cast and crew on a "brilliant" show.

The series ended its its five-season run on AMC at the end of September with a record-high viewership.

"Breaking Bad" actor Steven Michael Quezada, who plays Gomez on the show, posted the letter in its entirety to his Facebook page.

That's gotta be pretty big, when an actor who's known for playing one of the most noteworthy film villains of all time compliments you and the people you've worked with on constructing a "great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy."

A cool as hell show with cool as hell fans:

‘Breaking Bad’ fan group’s Walter White obituary in Albuquerque Journal is a hit

What happened after a “Breaking Bad” fan group placed a Walter White obit in Friday’s Albuquerque Journal:

* There was a 40 percent increase in single copy sales, with many newsstands selling out of papers.
* Requests to the Journal’s library to mail out newspapers ran at least 10 times normal volume.
* The obit was the the paper’s most-read online story since 2006, when it began using Google Analytics to track traffic.
* Traffic to the obit was about 60 times that of a typical daily top story on the Journal’s website.
* The print edition was going for as much as $26 on eBay

I want one!!!

They gave him a funeral too.

Oh, and xfire, I re watched it, and when he was with Skylar for the last time, and told her it was over, she asked if he was going to the police...he told her"they'll be coming to me"...so he had it set up. Maybe like you said, dialed a phone, and let it sit.

... Now, back to The Walking Dead.

Just ain't the same.

I hear ya. I watched the season 4 Walking Dead premier and couldn't help but think "this is nice and all but it's not Breaking Bad."

I'm a late watcher of Breaking Bad but I'm on season 4 on netflix and Gustavo Fring is a scary motherfucker. The box cutter episode had one of my most fav scenes. You can tell Walt is so terrified in that scene, the way he says "We're ready to go to work" in such desperation. Excellent acting by Bryan Cranston.

You notice with Gus Fring and with alot of the bad guys in the show including Mike Ehrmentraut - they've got this dead look in their eyes, almost like a shark? Even when Gus is playing the mild-mannered proprietor of Los Pollos Hermanos he's got those dead eyes of a soulless, cold-blooded killer.

But you don't see it in Walt...and over the series, he becomes just as brutal, if not more so. His murders in the beginning, were for self preservation...you could see how he struggled with HAVING to do it. In the end, he was calculating, and cold blooded...and he always looked like it was the hardest choice he had to make. In some cases he was sorry it happened, and in Hanks case, begged and bargained for life.

Exactly. I meant to point that out. That is weird. I wonder if that's on purpose or if that was a quirk the actors had playing their roles.

You know how you go in for an eye exam and they put those drops in to dilate your pupils? I wonder if they used that to get that effect. Anyways, it was pretty stark and kinda chilling.

Dude, Gus was so scary in that box cutter scene that even Mike was fucking terrified and he's the strongest minded one of the bunch. lol

Yep. He was so menacing in that scene I was almost convinced he was going to kill Walt and Jesse and the show would just be about Gus from that point on.

I believe it was on purpose. Walt evolved. He started doing what he was doing for his family...it was a means, FOR the end...then it became a means TO an end. He never wanted to kill the first guy in the basement...he kept saying "no", over and over while he tried to put the pieces of the plate back together. At that point, he knew it was his only choice, and he did, what he had to do. By the end, he was watching his wrist watch, as a PERFECTLY calculated plan, fell into place, and 9 people died, in 2 minutes. He even told Skylar, "Every thing I did, I did more myself. Truth is, I liked it, and I was good at it." The morals of the story being, absolute power, corrupts absolutely, and the more you have, the more you want. The guy was a mousy, pussy whipped, dying high school chemistry teacher, that became part of, then took over, and expanded, a multimillion dollar empire, so big, it could be on the New York stock exchange. That, by the way, was one of the best lines of the whole series...."I'M THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!!!!". He evolved, and so did the lengths he would go to, to keep it, and himself on top, and alive.

Finally got to watch the fifth and sixth season yesterday and today! Wow! Great last season! Didn't lose anything of it's thrilling-ness. I was curious and eager all the way through. Sad it's over now though. That show was addicting. You know, like the drug..

Seriously one of the greatest shows ever! It's very rare that every single season is this kinda awesome! :bowdown:
