    Actually, you're wrong- and a perfect example of why it's best not to make snap judgments until you see what unfolds. What you said was bringing them back as a major plot point makes no sense. Now, you see how it makes sense after viewing this episode. So, maybe the lesson is, don't make snap judgments.

    This is a problem with the web as a whole. We've really lost our ability to be patient. And we've increased our need to communicate right then and there on the web. Go look at any Rockets game thread and that's what it is. Some of us, like myself, just need to shut the **** up sometimes with the rash judgments. Or take a break from the web and get away from the dialogue that makes things worse than better.

    Well, now it makes sense. You're the lunatic that said I didn't understand the show (then bizarrely attempted to agree with me, probably because you read some blog or somebody else telling you how stupid suddenly needing to murder the Schwartzes would have been), now you are the one attempting to turn things around. And actually, I'm right. We were talking about Walt murdering them. As an act of revenge. Our argument was from me saying that Gilligan bringing them back and giving Walt motivation to return to NM and murder them would be silly, disjointed, and senseless, as it has nothing to do with any of the plotlines that had been building up for 15 episodes this season. I was correct. Period. You were not only incorrect (nothing wrong with making an incorrect prediction, I made plenty), but took it a step further to back your asinine prediction with silly insults. You were wrong, and have egg on your face. Deal with it and learn from it.

    Your Albuquerque pictures were cool though.

    Huffington Post:
    What's your favourite final episode of a TV show ever?

    Vince Gilligan:
    That’s a good one. The one that always springs to mind is "MASH". I loved "MASH" as a kid, and I still love it. Just a week ago or so I was watching it again and it all came back to me. I’ve seen every single episode of that series, and I still think it holds up to this day.

    The thing that works so well about the ending of "MASH" is that implicit in the very first episode is the idea of what the ending should be. The seeds are planted in that very first episode—here's a show about a bunch of people thrown together and they will make the best of a bad situation, but they all desperately want to go home.

    So it stands to reason the final episode of "MASH" should be that everyone gets to go home — it’s a big goodbye — and that I think is the perfect ending for that series. It’s not a surprise ending. In fact you see it coming for 11 years, but it’s what you want as a viewer. It’s the only thing that can really satisfy you. And that’s why I think it’s a nearly perfect ending—or perhaps not nearly at all. Perhaps it is the perfect ending.

    With a show like "Breaking Bad" viewers love the surprises we throw at them — they love those twist and turns that we give them—but sometimes the best surprise is no surprise. And I’m not giving away anything that will happen tomorrow, I’m just talking about what we discuss in the writers’ room: is the perfect ending surprising or preordained?

    Is Walt dieing in the lab suppose to cover up Jesse's work in the lab? Meaning the police think Walt has been cooking for the Nazis as opposed to Jesse?

    Not everyone. Go read this thread. People were claiming he would use it on the Schwatrz or a Gray Matter product.

    I also would like to know this. Somebody brought up a few pages ago that it was, but it is known that he was in hiding in New Hampshire for several months, so that wouldn't add up.

    To add to that, there's a huge massacre scene traced to a rigged up machine gun in Walt's trunk. I'm guessing there will be a bit of detective work done rather than the authorities seeing Walt dead in the lab, and saying "hey, there's the meth guy we've been looking for, he's dead on the floor of this Nazi meth lab, he's been in here cooking all this time. we can close the books now."

    This show does such a fantastic job playing on emotions. For all the things Walt had done up to this past episode, it was only fitting that he die and I wanted him to die. But then the conversation with Skylar happened and he admitted that so much of the pain and suffering he had caused was his own selfishness, and not self sacrificing as he had convinced himself for the entirety of the show.

    At that point I no longer wanted Walt to die...so of course he WOULD die. At least he got to shoot Uncle Jack in mid-sentence. I didn't think anything would feel more satisfying than seeing Jesse kill Todd, but that was a better moment.

    What a fantastic show. I'm going to miss it.

    I don't know if you guys watched talking bad, but now I'm more convinced than ever that Jesse Pinkman is WAY more interesting than Aaron Paul.

    This applies to Breaking Bad's ending, and pretty much the ending to most things:

    "Endings are hard. Any chapped-ass monkey with a keyboard can poop out a beginning, but endings are impossible. You try to tie up every loose end, but you never can. The fans are always gonna b****. There's always gonna be holes. And since it's the ending, it's all supposed to add up to something. I'm telling you, they're a raging pain in the ass.... No doubt -- endings are hard. But then again... nothing ever really ends, does it?" - Chuck from Supernatural

    The story of Walter White is over, and surprisingly i feel like they did tie up every loose end, and still some fans are gonna b****. I think Chuck said it best though, endings are hard, but the writers of Breaking Bad made a damn good one.

    I thought they set expectations with the foreshadowing cold openings and then followed through.

    I'll take that over the underwhelming out of left field crap that was the Dexter finale.

    Nazis probably spent $34M on hookers, blow, ice cream, and tattoos over the last few months.

    I know people (feds, DEA) were looking for Pinkman... but nobody ever had a direct link between him and the blue meth, except for Hank. Unless Skylar told them about Pinkman helping Walt.

    If that's the case, Jesse will probably flee forever. He's still got his money somewhere... what he was supposed to pay Saul's guy. He probably left it in Saul's car, after he took it to Walt's house to attempt to burn it down (until Hank stopped him).

    I didn't think Vince needed to have Walt explain to Lydia explicitly about the Ricin... but I'm sure if he hadn't, people on here would be complaining that they didn't understand how he knew she would be sick, so he took the safe route there.
