To those of you complaining about Walt's plan regarding Gretchen and Elliot, and getting his money put into a trust for Walt Jr.:

It doesn't matter that the plan has an iffy success rate. Whether or not G&E actually fulfill their promise to Walt is immaterial, because it was the best plan Walt had.

Hard to pick one of the many things they did so well as a favorite but I think the music selection was what stuck with me the most. There were so many times I'd spend the week following an episode with a song stuck in my head. Just when I manage to get "Thunder Island" dislodged they go and stick "Baby Blue" in its place.

The most distressing one was "Bonfire" which they used in the open where Walt and Jr. get their cars.

He also has no way of knowing what Jr. will do with the money even if they do go through with the plan.

I think Gretchen and Elliot do the right thing, which (IMO) is to give the money to Walt, Jr.

Because ultimately the kids are completely blameless victims. The money has already been gained, and Walt is dead. Keeping it from them because it's drug money would be worse than providing for this family that has basically imploded because of the actions of the now deceased.

Plus, you know, they think there are hit men out there.

In the end wasn't Walter unfairly betrayed by his wife, by his son, by his in-laws, and by his protégé, Jesse? Had they stayed loyal to him everyone of them would have been alive, safe from other criminals, and safe from the law, and they would have been wealthy. Now they all suffer. Didn't they do more wrong to themselves than Walter ever did?

Good point. I see no reason for the nazis to destroy that DVd even though it implicates them in killing all the witnesses and Todd killing that kid

Major loose end

yes. music selection was top notch. they strayed away from anything too common. i don't think it was intentional but mainly because their music palette was so deep they could pick the perfect song for each scene. my personal favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lMm0YpLeA0

One thing the nits don't get is that to love Breaking Bad I think you had to buy into the omnipotent power that was always there pushing the action. It was evident when He put Donald in a bar with Walt and planes right above the house. It moves coins, points spinning guns, guides cancer in and out of remission, zooms around the lab as a fly, and places a man on a diaper run in a room with an OD'ing Jane.

Quote:
Because like it or not, something like God exists in the Breaking Bad universe. He’s a vaguely deist sort of god, keeping his hands clean, mostly, but he’s there to rain down fire from the sky upon Walter White for daring to disturb the universe, and he’s there to tell Skyler White to run from New Mexico, only to have her ignore it. When Hank does the right thing and accepts punishment for beating Jesse Pinkman in season three, he’s saved from death via fairly unlikely means, and when Jesse becomes just another pawn to him, he’s marked for doom. And finally, in the finale, when Walter earnestly entreats whatever this moral force is to survive just long enough to complete his life’s work, he’s like Samson, crying out to God for his strength one last time, that he might pull the temple down upon his enemies’ heads (though a machine gun would have worked just as well). And think back to the earlier realization of Walter White as both Satan and ourselves: If we are the devil but we are not God, then we are forever cursed to have death rain down around us, to fall short of perfection or goodness, to inevitably become evil from the slightest slip-up. (There’s original sin again.)

I had never heard of Badfinger, the band behind "Baby Blue", so I looked up some info on them. The lead singer committed suicide after all his money got stolen by the band's manager. Seems kind of apt.

I agree. I figured we'd at least get a shot of him at night school or something.

Fantastic read.

Also, there should be a disclaimer on every post that reads "in my opinion." That way all of the melodrama & hyperbole in the thread can be somewhat contained.

Has it been mentioned that when Walt prayed in the snow car and pulled down the visor, the camera angle made it almost as if the viewer was dropping that key down to him?

Walt was sitting too far away from the table for him to reach across and swap the Stevia packet.
Not sure if there has been resolution to this yet ITT, but I believe for sure Walt placed the packet there before she arrived. He made the point to explain he knew she'd be there because of her anal routine and the clincher is that it was clearly shown that there was only one Stevia packet on the table to choose from, and Lydia even asked the waitress for more. Walt made sure she used his packet.

Yeah, why the F didn't they just let Dexter sail off into the hurricane to some dark music, hold and pan away. That would have been a pretty dang cool ending.

I liked it alot, and thought it was top notch.

I am still surprised they went with this story centering around the nazis for the finale and not hank. I feel a story around walt vs hank (jesse) or with hank would have been better. Instead they choose to let hank and gomi die in the desert and go with this.

It was good, but i wonder how good you could have made it if u went the other way from that point onwards

In retrospect it seems obvious the way they went. Hard for Hank to make it to the last episode and have Walt's family despise him so much. For example, lets say they go that route...How does flynn end up loathing him so much? I am pretty sure the only thing his son really hates him for is Hank. Nothing else would allow us to see him so ruined except for him being responsible for a family members death.

I haven't seen The Shield, but some people I respect a lot said its final season was the best final season until Breaking Bad's.

Though it's really season 5b. 5a I thought things were a little rushed and plotty and it felt like they were trying to cram too much into a short period of time, whereas other seasons things had more of a chance to develop and breathe.

Minor nit, of course. 5a was still better than just about anything on TV, but compared to other seasons of BB, I put it only behind 2. (5b, 4, 3, 1, 5a, 2 IMO). So if you take 5 as a whole, maybe it's comparable to The Shield's? I haven't seen The Shield, so I have no way of knowing.

If that show's final season surpassed 5b, let me know ASAP so I can drop everything and watch it immediately because 5b was the finest television I ever did see.

More than likely from the muzzle flash.

Makes sense. It would be the easiest to implement. Instead of having to rig up a radio receiver, just set up a mechanical lever that actuates the machine when the trunk lid goes up.

200. Standard M-60 belt is 200 rounds.
