If this ends like this Sopranos I'll be pissed.

The Sopranos ending? Lesson learned. I wouldn't worry about that.

Sorry, but the Sopranos ending was brilliant. Theres an excellent article about it if you need things cleared up for you. About 14 pages in length though. I was mad the first time I watched it, but after absorbing it better I absolutely love the ending.

Yes, Tony's enemies were pretty much eliminated, life goes on, and so forth. But Heisenberg is going down. His ego is his biggest character flaw. At least Tony Soprano knew when to shut up.

Althought you are right about Tony being able to shut up. Tony died in that final episode. And I agree with you, Heisenberg is going down

I think the only reason he wound up killed was because of how the hit on Phil wound up with Phil's skull being mashed into puree under a car tire and how it was mentioned many times throughout the series how disrespectful it is to them if you can't have an open casket funeral.

They probably assumed it was at Tony's direction out of vengeance and not because his incompetent wife left the car in drive.

Eddie Adams from Torrance: NationwideClyde: 10 bucks says Walt Jr. gets taken out as collateral damage at some late point in the season.

That leaves a major plot hole... who's going to sit around and eat breakfast ever episode?

As much as everyone (myself included) hates Flynn, he does serve an important purpose. He represents the innocent, banal family life that Walt is trying to preserve and Heisenberg is trying to escape.

That's awesome because I love wearing diapers and shiatting myself!

Was he trying to get me to watch the show?

Confabulat: I don't see Walt as being responsible for Jane's death. She would have died whether he was there or not, and his inactivity is perfectly normal (how could he explain why he was skulking around Jesse's bedroom anyway).

He did the smart thing, in my eyes.

I agree with this, everyone thinks Jesse will avenge it and it really is overblown. OMG you didnt help her when she was choking on her vomit from ODing on the heroin we shared. Yeah, I dont think that is revenge worthy for Jesse. I mean it was horrible, but I would be upset if BB uses it as some huge storyline in Walt's demise.

Aaalmost Jesse.

Crudbucket: Make sure u wear your diapers, yo, because I'm pretty sure u will (bleep) yourself, BIATCH!

Perfect.

Pretty sure I won't.

For those trying to rationalize Walt, Vince Gilligan has stated that his vision for Walt is not of the sympathetic anti-hero, but of a guy who is more and more being consumed by his dark side. Listen to the Bryan Cranston and Vince Gilligan episodes of WTF for some insight.

Of course, as in all great art, you interpretation may vary...

Here's my guess: the police investigate the nursing home bombing and find a gun Gus's henchman was probably carrying, along with the syringe intended to kill the old cartel guy. This confirms Hank's suspicions of Gus with the DEA, so they get a search warrant for Gus's office and home and find the laptop he was using to monitor Walt and Jessie through the security cameras at the lab. They recover some of the lab footage, now Walt and Jessie are hunted men. Hank realizes his rehab was financed by drug money, making him an accessory to the crime, so he kills Walt and Jessie to save his ass.

But, it could also be Hank snooping through Gus's office and finding the laptop and the footage, no DEA involvement.

I'm still waiting for season 4 on Netflix.

While eating breakfast.

The series should end with Walt furiously ringing the service bell at a Holiday Inn, then suddenly seeing Mike standing, smiling, across the street.

In the most overblown and anticlimactic season of any TV show ever. Breaking Bad decides to take the real world ending.

Mike retires to Aruba
Saul stays in hiding
Jesse moves on with life
Walt dies of cancer

The End.

NeoCortex42: I figure the show either ends with Walt dead (from either the cartel or his cancer), but his family taken care of financially, or with the family killed as collateral damage and Walt completely in despair. There's no way this show gets a "happy" ending.

By the way, is this season the Final Season, as in the show runners are planning to end it this year? Or is there still a desire to get more seasons out of it?

It was announced that this is the final season by design, not because the network is forcing them out. They should be able to tie up the story exactly as they want.

shorynot: Cosmoboy: I think you're all wrong. This season will be Walt regretfully putting his loved ones down as they find out about him. In the final episode he'll kill his immediate family put on his Heisenberg hat and presumably....carry on.

This is stupid, Walt will die....prepare for it.

Skylar already knows he cooks meth, so.....you think he is going to put her down now that she knows he killed someone. He spent all his time killing and lying to protect his family.

The fact that you even think he could do this shows you dont understand this show. Perhaps watch something a bit more easier for you to understand. Blues clues box set really challenges your imagination

Everybody knows Walt's going to die, that's why it would be stupid if he did. fark off. It has nothing to do with my understanding of the show. Asshole.

They have said Season 5 is it for the show. Supposedly Walt is going down, and Vince Gilligan said he wants to make it amazing.

Little do you know by amazing, they meant tie it in with AMCs other popular show set during modern time periods. The show will end with Walt being confronted over everything his done. All of his demons are coming to light in the form of more cartel hitmen, Hank figuring out who Heisenberg is, Jessie playing the Jane card, and Mike seeking revenge due to his loyalty. Of course this all happens as Walt's cancer is finally killing him.

All of Walt's current adversaries, paying homage to a worthy opponent and worlds greatest Meth Chef, set aside everything to pay their respects.

Walt slowly accepts death's loving embrace as a heart monitor slowly displays his passing to the viewer.

Every enemy Walt has that is still alive respects a moment of silence for their fallen enemy.

When suddenly Walt jumps out of bed taking a chunk straight out of Hanks jugular before turning his attention to Jessie and the others who have gathered.



Be sure to tune in to The Walking Dead's new season October 2012.... Only on AMC!

*fade to black*

Jane's death will never be "avenged". The entire thing was just to build up to the plane crash anyway, it was a mcguffin to spur that scene. That's it. Jane's entire character was throwaway.

WHAT ABOUT THE VIDEO CAMERS IN THE RETIREMENT HOME WHERE GUS WAS KILLED? Wouldn't Walter show up on those cameras talking to Salamenca right before Salamenca contacted the DEA?

Walter walked into the retirement home to arrange the hit with Salamenca and I imagine there might be a security camera in a facility like that. And I'm sure the DEA and FBI would be reviewing all security tapes for anyone suspicious because of the bombing. So I think Walter might be a person of interest because he was seen talking to a known Mexican Cartel member. The DEA may wonder who this guy is that was talking to Salamanca but have no name to go on. However, I think if Hank saw the picture he would know it was Walter right away. Plus, I don't think Hank is buying into Walt's illegal gambling story. Hank is way sharper than he lets on and is not the same guy from season 1 and 2.

Anyone think Gus was somehow connected to Pinochet or had a background in intelligence or military?

Gus was an intelligent man but he knew how to prepare and plan for things that even intelligent people wouldn't anticipate. I imagine Gus had some kind of background in intelligence or military that enabled him to be a drug kingpin. It is also a little too unbelievable that he could set up his drug network on his own without some kind of assistance or training. Plus, isn't he from Chile and maybe he has a connection to Pinochet's regime. That connection would maybe help explain how he got involved in drugs. Illegal Narcotics are often used to fund revolutions, terrorism, etc.,.

Any thoughts on what Gus did with all the money he was making?

I know there would be great costs of doing business in illegal narcotics that he would have to pay, for example bribes, salaries of Mike and Victor, etc.,. But he would still be clearing a couple of million a month. I know he funded different charities and what not but he drove a 10 year old car and lived in a nice but modest house for a millionaire. Where did all that money go? Back to Chile? But to who and for what?

Maybe Walt himself tells Jessie about Jane and/or the kid. Suicide before the cancer gets horrific.

Shostie: The biggest threat I see for Walt and Jesse in the upcoming season are Hank using his newly found Scooby Doo powers to inadvertently track down Walt. And then there's Mike, in Mexico, and God knows what he's going to do when he finds out about Gus.

The problem I have always figured about Hank taking Walt down is that the questions the bosses would ask Hank about it would kill his career. I mean I am sure the bosses would love to know how Walt had been operating for at least a few years now, and cooking meth and being a big player in New Mexico without Hank, his own brother in law, ever finding out. It makes Hank either look like a really crappy DEA agent, or it could suggest to the bosses that Hank was in on it and knew all along but didn't report it. Especially when you factor in that the cousins went after Hank and Walt's drug money was paying for his rehab bills. Sure Walt would go to jail, but it would make Hank look really bad, and possibly look like a criminal too.

As far as Walt becoming the kingpin I am not sure how that would work (and I think that the writers could come up with something better). I mean Walt has almost no idea how Gus's distribution network was set up. All he knew was that he made the blue meth in the lab, gave it to one of Gus's cronies and it was gone. He doesn't know who the lieutenants and the dealers are, so even if he could get a new set up like that going (which I don't think he could since Skylar spent the last of his money on her old boss's tax bill) and make the drugs, he has no idea how to sell them. And trying to recruit his own people to do it would be a disaster just like a few seasons ago when that big fat Combo guy got killed.

I can't know the details, but here is how I expect it's going to go down.

The whole show up to this point has been about how low Walt will actually go...and whether or not circumstances can actually turn a good man evil.

The finale will end with a choice for Walt. Either to sacrifice himself, or take out another main character...maybe Hank, maybe Jessie. And we'll find out just how bad he's really become.

What about Skyler's former boss who died in the most hilariously stupid way? What kind of payoff is that thread gonna have?

hmm. Walt being forced to take out Hank for the good of his business, or sacrifice himself to shield those who cares about from the repercussions of what he's done. I could see that.

But for some reason I'm thinking they would want an even more epic ending. It would be hard for me to buy an ending like that when the show has centered around moral ambiguity, yet ends with a very clear good vs evil choice. Just doesn't seem like their style. I think that's what has me so excited to see how they're going to end this. They've done a phenomenal job of embracing those wonderful bits of life we call the grey areas, and I'm hoping they continue that trend right up to the end.

Sandor at the Zoo: What about Skyler's former boss who died in the most hilariously stupid way? What kind of payoff is that thread gonna have?

It already had a payoff. Hilarious death is hilarious.

Plus Walt would have came for him anyway. Nobody plows Heisenbergs wife......

Nobody

rkane1: The whole show up to this point has been about how low Walt will actually go...and whether or not circumstances can actually turn a good man evil.

My thinking is that before the show ends Walt's cancer will come back. Because right now he has accomplished his original goal and set it up so that his family can live comfortably with the car wash even after he dies. So if his cancer comes back he might be able to get the expensive treatment again, but he would have to decide if he wants to go back to cooking meth purely to save himself (and put his family at risk), or let himself die but know that it will mean that drug dealers probably won't kill his family.

Here's the one thing I know about the Series Finale of "Breaking Bad"

At least half of the shows fans are just going to absolutely hate it, and will be on the internet within minutes, registering their disgust throughout the world.

Sandor at the Zoo: What about Skyler's former boss who died in the most hilariously stupid way? What kind of payoff is that thread gonna have?

In all my years of mindless TV and movie watching, I have learned to never assume someone is dead until you see their funeral or decapitation.

.......and even then I'm still suspicious of a return.

I was a pretty big fan of the Sopranos, but even I thought the ending was only clever in a sense that if David Chase ever needs a large amount of money really fast, all he has to do is walk into the HBO offices and pitch a Sorpranos movie where Tony is alive and well. With the way he did the ending people can assume Tony's dead and talk about it forever and keep the buzz going, but if he ever wants to start it up again he just says "I never said Tony was dead, here is what happens next, give me my money please".
