But ze German killed himself.

Didn't a bunch of them do that a few decades back....apparently facing the music isn't a genetic trait. :D

**MY (& hubby's) Personal musings about the rest of the series**

I think Jesse flips on Walt. He tells Hank everything to redeem himself and stop Walt from doing any further harm.
Walt learns of this and somehow gets talked in to cooking one last time in exchange for crazy lady or Todd getting rid of Jesse.
The "flash forwards" we have seen are leading us up to the end of the next-to-last episode.

There are other thoughts, but I'm keeping them quiet for now. LOL.

It's almost depressing for me to watch each episode now, since it's one of the very few TV shows that I still watch and really enjoy. It's like reading a really fantastic book and you notice that there aren't that many pages left til you reach the back cover. :(
 
Jesse is the lynchpin here. If his guilty conscience gets the best of him and he flips ...

But then again Hank beat the shit out of him so fuck that.

Call me an optimist but I think this all turns out to be an unexpected happy ending. Walt's cancer coming back was a misdiagnosis and Hank realizing he's nearing the end of his law enforcement career anyways figures why bother? and decides to go into business with Walt who uses his significant capital and Madrigal contacts to open up a Schrader Beer brewery with overseas distribution. And Skyler and Marie laugh about the whole ordeal over cocktails.

The End.

Dayuuuum!!!!!! :eek:

That last episode is what I call the feces hitting the air conditioner!

P.S. For once, I think I have a good idea of who that M60 is meant for.

That crew are murderous psychopaths. I figured that the time would come when he takes care of them.

I wonder how long Walt disappears for, as his hair has grown back by the time he wields the M60 (see post #251)?

... and is he in fact terminally ill ?

I'm still on season 5, haha.
Because I only started watching the series a few months ago and went through season 1-4 so fast that I got burned out on it.

I just got to *OLD SPOILER* Mike's scene where he tries to get out of the game and gets capped.

Needless to say I bawled my eyes out like crazy pretty much from the park scene to death.
Jesse is the only likable character left other than Saul.

Kind of a personal thing, but I started watching this show when my uncle was diagnosed with lung cancer - same year this show debuted. He was nothing like Walt (or Heisenberg), but the cancer link is kind of why I started watching it. My uncle died a few months ago. It would strike me as really ironic if Walt died from the cancer, not a gunshot wound, in the final episode.

I know he "crossed the Rubicon" when he poisoned Brock. But I can't help but still want to see Walt go out with some dignity. But like any good Greek tragedy, yeah, he does have to die. :( That last episode was as sad as the ones from The Wire when favorite characters would get killed. And I still want to see that hanger-on/gold-digger/parasite/shrew, Skyler, die! Really! Let Crazy Marie raise the kids.

Saul is getting his own show on AMC. I think the working title is "Better Call Saul". Vince Gilligan is behind it.

I know, I work on the internet, I can't avoid show news & spoilers even if I tried :p
Spinoff sounds like a good idea.

I personally think a LOT of the earlier seasons of Breaking Bad are modeled after the show Weeds in MANY ways. It's a lot darker and more dramatic than Weeds though, which was always pretty comedic.

If you noticed in the last episode, when he was yelling at Skylar, and the cops were listening, he kept putting EVERYTHING on himself, and saying how she never wanted or appreciated it. I think he did that, so she wouldn't have to suffer any legal ramifications, and he was trying to put her in a place that she could deny knowing where the money for the car wash came from...so she has a way to pay for her kids needs.

The first episode, when they showed him get the ricin from the wall plate...that's either for that dark haired woman, that showed up last season, the chemical provider...to take her out. Or it's for himself. I think the M60 is obviously to storm the lab, I think to rescue Jesse, so he can kill him, himself...purely out of arrogance, and greed. He wants that money back, and I think he plans on getting it, bringing it to Skylar, taking the poison, and waiting for the cops. A last effort to show his love, and say fuck you, all in the same sentence.

On a side note, I really thought it was going to be Goemy, and Jesse that bought it Sunday...I figured Walt was going to get taken in, and then get out on bail, and use his exit strategy, then come back for his end game. FUCK ME!! I almost shit when Hank ended up dead.

That's absolutely what happened.

Skylar began to cry when she realized what Walt was doing.

And she played along. But not to distance herself from Walt, but because at that time she absolutely knew that despite how disastrous things turned out, Walt was looking out for his family, as he had been all along.
 
Great episode. I knew Hank was a goner by how he ended the last phone call with Marie.

And Walt making the futile attempt to save Hank's life by giving up his millions. Family.

Todd is a freak. Under that gee golly demeanor he's as ruthless as his Uncle, BUT he's the reason Walt is still alive.

The crescendo is deafening now. Hate to see the show end but can't wait for it.
 
Wow, that last episode was probably the best television I've ever seen. Classic! I wish all my favorite tv series ended its final season in the way Breaking Bad is ending. Sad that this is coming to an end.

On another board, someone compared Walt to Michael Corleone and Jesse to his dim-witted brother, Fredo. That's not right. Not even a little bit. Sure, I can see many, many similarities between Michael Corleone, including how he developed from a thinker into a criminal monster, and Walt. But even though Jesse had more than his fair share of fuck-ups along the way, he was no Fredo! In addition to being a totally useless dumbass, Fredo was also a coward (when his dad got shot). Jesse, on the other hand, had some good ideas now & again and he isn't a coward. I see Jesse more like the D'Angelo Barksdale character from The Wire: somebody with a basically decent heart who took the easy way out and played the game. But Walt is a better Michael Corleone than Michael Corleone was, IMO.

I'd kind of like to see Skinny Pete and Badger swoop in, cap Todd and save Jesse (I want to see what happens to those two goofs). But that might be too comic book. Best tragic way out for Jesse: Father & Son die together (Walt & Jesse). More so than his real son, Walt loved this kid (though it was pretty damn warped and twisted by the end). I want to see some realization of that from Jesse and at least have closure on that issue.
 
I think whatever was left of the father/son dynamic came to an irrevocable end when Walt gave the order to execute Jesse and then revealed that he watched his girlfriend die and let it happen.

It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Walt doesn't come out of this alive but something tells me Jesse does. That pic of Andrea and Brock in the meth lab makes me think that.

I can see Walt coming to save Jesse. Bringing him some cash for him and the other 2 to exit stage left. I think Walt goes back out of arrogance. Jesse can cook his product, and I bet my last dollar, these chuckle heads, in combination with that dark haired twat Mike wanted to kill, start using the Heisenberg brand, and it pisses Walt off, REAL, REAL bad. M60 bad!

That was quite upsetting. I felt really bad for Jesse. Aaron Paul has been on fire this season.
 
Everyone seems to have Forgotten Saul’s Body Guard. Not being subjected to the Client/ Attorney Privacy clause, He could, with the right form of prodding, he could bring down slimey Saul’s entire setup, including Jesse, Walt, and the Euro trash. I suspect we will hear more from him. I could be wrong, it happens a lot.
