Wrong

There they are!

Well it was clearly ambiguous within the parameters of the show. His intentions may not have been ambiguous but that's another concept.

I didn't think it was ambiguous at all, and I'd guess you have a very tough time finding many people who think Walt was anything except dead/dying VERY SOON(not from cancer).

so what does jesse do now? won't the DEA still be looking for him? does he even have any money? no way he can just start life over again, and he doesn't know the vacuum guy. i need answers.

WORSHIP ME AS A GOD. WHERE IS MY PRIZE?

Note: The prediction was made before brocks mother got offed obv.

Yeah, not ambiguous at all.

Great episode. Tons of call- back Breaking Bad moments.

Loved the way they set up the scene w/ Gretchen and Elliott and the "You're gonna need a bigger knife" line was awesome. Walt giving them his money was totally unexpected and totally made sense a something the show has managed to do repeatedly.

Loved that he made space for one more Badger/SkinnyPete sighting.

The ricin in the coffee was a little over-telegraphed but a great way for Lydia to go - poisoned by her ****ing Stevia.

Loved that we got one more great Walt science scheme with the robotic M60 tied to the garage door opener.

All the nazis dying was also fully expected, but satisfying. Liked that he head-shotted Jack in mid-sentence, just like Jack had done to Hank.

Walt dying in the lab was perfect.

Also liked that Jessie got away. Woulda stood up and cheered if in the relief/joy Jessie showed while driving away we got one more "Bitch!" But I guess that wouldn't have fit with the new free Jessie.

About the only unsatisfying thing was the ending for Walt Jr. Seems fully unresolved. Feed that boy some breakfast.

I mean. He got shot. He stumbled around for a while. Showed us his wound. Stumbled into the lab. And then fell onto the ground face up not moving.

That's not very ambiguous. Short of them literally showing him not breathing or having him hooked up to a heart monitor I'm not sure what they can do.

The show runner says he's dead, but it's all up to perception.

Just to be clear, I was agreeing with him.

So Jesse drives off to take care of Brock and Lydias kid?

Wat

heres my partner, hows it goin partner, fifty fifty partners,

lol

Speaking for myself, I suppose this is hard to argue against

I guess I'm a sh*tty viewer, because I didn't see it that way initially. Thank you for pointing this out

Ganna watch it again in 5 minutes, hopefully I'll enjoy it more the second time around

lol wtf? Being shot in the head would do it. A funeral during the credits would do it. Police coming and someone checking his pulse and us hearing one say to the other "he's dead" would do it. I could list 20 more. Maybe any of those things would lessen the quality or outright change the finale, but that is not relevant to my point.

I mean I believe he's dead and as I said if he isn't it probably doesn't matter anyway, but Gilligan clearly could have done many simple things for us to know for sure he's dead, and he chose not to. Maybe it was intentional on his part, maybe not. But them be the facts.

Wow lots of posts... for now until I catch up I have to say, my first thought when Gretchen & Elliot were on screen was about the TV Pros itt who guaranteed they'd never been seen or heard from again. Obviously what theses pros meant what that they'd never be seen or heard from again until the first :10 of the next episode.

pls dont list 20 more... actually pls just dont type anything more at all, thanks

As I said already....

Gilligan literally spoke about how he didn't want to leave it ambiguous. He talked about how the Sopranos ended and didn't want the audience to have any doubt as to how Walt ended up. You can keep trying to find something that's not there or you can just listen to the guy who wrote/directed the episode tell you that the exact opposite of what you think is correct. He addressed this EXACT thing probably no more than 10 minutes after the episode after Chris Hardwick commented on how it was so awesome how he made it 100% clear and it wasn't ambiguous like the Sopranos.

Fantastic review:

Perspicacity, just stop.... now.

Pretty intriguing show.

I'd never watched it before this recent marathon.

Liked the Episode. Would`ve wished he would`ve talked in a more aggressive way to Lydia on the phone, something along the lines "Did you really think you could take me out?" that would`ve been more Heisenbergesque.

Overall I feel like Game of Thrones has set really high standards. I need a big cast so I know people can get whacked, so I`m scared for them.


Also a little bit of fun:

Google "Michael Bowen" (Actor of Jack) and look at pictures:

If he were still breathing/alive, the cops wouldn't have just passed over him the way that they did. They treated him like a corpse.
