What about Marie and the whole Pinkman staying at their house and confessing everything deal? Surely she has told authorities something between Hank's death and Walt's death. Not to mention, the tape could potentially be found in the sweep of the Nazi compound to boot.
Marie didn't hear details just that Jesse was there with Hank. He might be wanted for the MURDER of hank since he's the last person Marie knew he was with and the lone survivor. He's to the snitch getting the chair.
A near perfect ending to a great drama. The ending wrapped up all the characters in the show. The machine gun part was really good. I thought Todd should have suffered more. A great character has come to an end. Have to wait for Game of Thrones now...
Yeah, any way you slice it, it seems safe to assume that Jesse would be wanted for questioning for at least something. Also, let's not forget that he burned the vacuum-cleaner/identity manufacturer, so that route is out for him. Any way you slice it, it's hard to imagine a rosy and carefree future for Jesse. The people picturing Jesse reuniting with Brock and being his caretaker are nuts for a million reasons.
The other scene that no one seems to mention was the confrontation between Walt and Hank. When he closes that garage door I about **** my pants. Then Walt has the amazing closing line, "if you don't know who I am, then maybe your best course would be to tread lightly." Awesome, awesome scene. One of my very favorites.
I liked how the flash forward wasn't a total gimmick and built up to ricin play on Lydia since without it, that scene would've been an afterthought to viewers. The machine gun was the surprise of the episode, and like the bell trigger for the old man IED shows you how inventive Walt was for killing big time bosses.
I was perfectly happy with the ending even if it was a tad straight forward. Still it was very good and did everything it needed to do.
Unless Jesse plans on meeting up with the Sal's van guy to start a new life as someone else, I imagine him driving off happy doesn't just end with him leaving town with no money on a single tank of gas. I would assume he ends up having to make things right with the DEA by coming clean about exactly what happened. And, then he goes back to live with his parents cause he has no job prospects. The idea that he has a bright future cause he escaped the Nazis is a bunch of bull. Yes, he didn't die. But, technically, he's still a loser.
Agreed. And rather prescient, too, as pursuing Walt would lead to Hank's demise. Cranston has been bringing it all season long. He's GOT to win the Emmy next year.
Maybe that's what the wooden box fantasy was for, to show people he's found value in living by creating things.
For the guys saying you were disappointed because it was predictable, what did you expect? Badger becoming the new Heisenberg? They made a realistic ending that wasn't far fetched and everyone got what they deserved. Nazi scumbags were killed, Jesse is finally free and can maybe start a somewhat happy life. Walt made sure his family will be stable financial-wise and he had a proper goodbye.
Let's go back to how this was all started, because this revisionism is "annoying the holy hell out of me": Eric Riley threw out a prediction that turned out to be wrong. Not a big deal. We'll all done it with this show. Your response indicated unnecessary agitation, and you totally overstated the point of them being "irrelevant characters". When people challenged you on your understanding of the show, it wasn't because they disliked you saying that they wouldn't be killed (big whoop), but rather because you maintained they were irrelevant side characters who should not be part of the final plot lines of the show. Another example of you lashing out at someone for just expressing his opinion: I'll note that you chose not to include the bolded portion of Cannonball's post in your response, even though all he said was that they'd be in the finale "in some form or other" (which, it turns out, was correct).
He can't. Saul made this clear. He had one shot with that guy. Jesse reaching for that bag of weed ended up killing like 10-15 people. Heck, Jesse mistaking that bald guy with a kid for a henchman of Walt's did as well. A stitch in time saves nine, as they say.
There's a part during the machine gun shoot out where Walter grimaces and groans. That's where he gets hit with a stray bullet
What are you talking about? The part that annoyed me was him and others suddenly teaching people how important Grey Matter was in the overall scheme of things (as if their appearance was something they suspected all along) and how that drove him to return to get revenge, etc, etc. The role they played was that he used them as a means to transfer money. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't understand what the "me choosing not to include the bolded portion" is referring to, but if I left that out of a response last week, that basically strengthens my stance tenfold. I was never telling people that the Schwartzes being a part of the finale would be stupid and disjointed. Only that the convoluted reasons they were coming up with would be. You are grasping at straws, I assume because you were wrong about that also.
I have a classic Corvette. I leave the keys in it. I live in a nice area but if someone wanted to they could steal it with ease. Just sayin.
I thought the episode was great. Was it the best episode of the series? Naw. Was it the most intense? Naw. There is no way a final episode, which has to END the series can be as intense as a season finale that can leave you with a cliffhanger. Especially when they made it clear all loose ends would be tied up. The scene with Walt and Skyler was amazing. When he cuts her off and said "I did it for me". Wow. His marriage was miserable. He hated his job. He was only truly happy in the lab with his science. Which made the ending great. Died where it all began. Where he was happy. Where he wasn't weak. Where he was successful. Going to start with episode 1 tonight on the treadmill.
