    Wrong, wrong, and wrong. I never called you stupid, and I presented several reasons why this was not something that was addressed in season 1- which is what you do to prove a point. Especially the point about Walt checking Gray Matter's stocks, which was in season 5. as well as you conveniently missing my statement, "If I were to guess......." You do understand what "guess" means, right? Or maybe you need to have it defined for you. And I made one comment while you've made several- whatever, sir. Just continue to be annoying, it suits you.

    Can y'all go make a breaking bad thread in the D&D or something? It's hard to navigate this thread around y'all bickering about nothing over and over.

    He still said it was a guess. So, no, not the same.

    It turned out he was wrong and overly presumptuous for thinking that Walt is totally unhinged by the events that happened. He overstated his case. Personally, I think the writers wanted people to think that Walt going on a murderous rampage was one possibility. That added dramatic tension to the last episode (e.g. we're not quite sure what Walt is going to do when he breaks into the Schwartzes home).

    Dude, you said you made up your mind to not give a s***... please stick to that and chill out. You are ruining this thread. If this is that important to you, message the people you have a problem with privately. I mean it is okay to bring it up in group discussion like this a few times, but at this point everyone has stopped giving a s*** and is getting annoyed.

    I'll take some of the blame as well for continuing it. Sorry.

    It's all good durvasa, this has just been too great a show to have a discussion on it turn into a pissing contest.

    The public in general wouldn't bat an eye, but the IRS will still look at their taxes as closely as anyone and $9 million of unaccounted for wealth is going to be noticeable.

    True, true.
    Guess they would have to launder it.

    Rich people also have accountants who specialize in helping them out in cases just like this. :)

    I didn't think she bought it? IMHO, Skylar doesn't know what to think about Walt's "I did not kill Hank". That is one of loose end I felt was still there. Why would Skylar/Jr/Marie suddenly believe Walt? He's been lying all this time. The only way to clear Walt is maybe the bullets in Hank & Gomez can be traced back to Jack & Co. But that still doesn't mean Walt wasn't the one who ordered the kill.

    I think Skylar let Walt see Holly is because he finally admits that he was doing all this for himself and that he felt sorry for him. Down deep inside, she know that he loved their daughter.

    But the 28 mil is not in cash. A big company like theirs wouldn't deal in cash. I think there is a problem, but a problem that will be on the Schwartz. I guess in a way, Walt got his revenge. He not only put the burden of the Schwartz finding a way to convince Jr to take the money but also the burden to launder it.

    On top of that the Schwartz are now going to be terrorized for life thinking two hitmen are going to murder them at any second.

    Isn't 9 million for them like 200 bucks for the rest of us? I'm pretty sure laundering that money will be a peace of cake.

    You put a piece of crappy, homemade, toddler art on eBay, setup some overseas account and buy it for 10 million. Boom, laundered.

    Exactly. All it takes is one off-shore account... which I'm sure they already have invested in to protect assets that they can't touch if the company goes under.

    I really enjoyed that. Serves those smug a-holes right. Money doesn't buy you balls.

    I would have been fine without Lydia calling Todd and Walt telling her why she was sick... but it totally fits Walt's character ("I watched Jane die") to want to stick it to her and make sure she knows it was him that did it. Pride. Grey Matter. Blue Sky. Not nearly to that extent, but same sentiment.

    I absolutely love the show and enjoyed the finale, but for some reason, I wish Walt's final adversary was bigger than a group of white supremacists holed up in a camp in the mountains of New Mexico. I wish the Mexican cartel reorganized or the European side of Lydia's operations was after him. I feel like they could have gone bigger, but ran out of time in the end. Regardless, this will still go down as the best TV show of all time in my book

    Did anyone have a "Happy Days" moment when Walt elbowed the window to knock down the ice? I almost yelled out "Fonz!!!" He's not just Heinsenberg, but he is also cool like Fonzie.

    Would have never guessed that Walt will use the Schwaltz to pass on his money to Jr. I think this is the best "resolution" between the 2 parties.

    Never thought it would make sense to have comedic moments in this finale, but they worked.
    Kudos to dandorotik for guessing the appearance of Skinny Pete and Badger.

    2 funny moments by Todd:
    Todd : "That is a nice ... shirt"
    Lydia: "What? You mean this blouse?"
    ------
    Todd, being dumb founded seeing the machine gun in Walt's trunk : "Mr White, ... "

    Didn't like the part of Jesse not acknowledging that Walt has once again saved his life.

    Touching moments:
    Walt waiting/wanting to hug Skylar but knowing that she won't allow it.
    Walt stoking Holly's hair. I shed a tear.
    Walt looking at Jr from a distance. I wasn't as emotional on this one because I felt Jr turned on his father way too quickly.
    The sorrow on Walt's face when he sees Jesse's condition.

    Walt has made his peace before dieing. Jesse hasn't, imo.
