Because everyone likes to use the spoiler boxes as reveals for their funny, funny jokes
, I'd like to suggest that if you're going to post actual spoilers in them (like, "I know a certain character is going to still be alive going into the final episode, because that episode's IMDb page is already up and he's listed in the credits..."), maybe warn the reader at the start of the post that there's an actual spoiler in the box. Sad that I even had to say this.

You guys just pulled the string on the YTF Windup Doll. You know, you pull the string, and I repeat the same handful of phrases over and over and over. So let's all skip this next paragraph, where YTF gives his "television has poisoned the minds of the average American juror."
Evidence and proof are not synonyms, and should not be used as such. Every piece of the puzzle is called evidence; the assembled pieces, the mosaic they form, result in proof. Hank has a garage full of puzzle pieces, and it's clear to him that Walt is the piece he's been missing. Every piece he picks up, fits perfectly with Walt. Guy in the ski mask video has Walt's height/build/gait, and uses Thermite? Fits. Pencil sketch? Fits perfectly! Bad guy had Hank's cell phone number and knew Hank's wife's name? Another perfectly clean fit. Gale admires W.W., and his stuff is found in Walt's house? How can you guys think, "That doesn't prove anything! It's not enough!" I'll tell you how: you've spent your life watching television, where they don't ask a viewer to put together the pieces--they always give you a nice, neat, Smoking Gun piece of evidence that is all the proof you need, no puzzle assembly required. That's why we can't convict OJ, or Casey Anthony, or countless others, despite mountains of evidence against them--if the case doesn't include that one puzzle piece that a juror can hold in their hand and leave them no doubt about what happened, they aren't capable of putting together lesser pieces to reach the same conclusion.
Oh, and by the way, despite what you may have "learned" on Matlock, circumstantial evidence is NOT inferior to physical evidence. It's only viewed that way for the exact reasons I describe above: it requires a modicum of thought, and for that reason, it usually bounces off idiot jurors.

WHAT? Then why did you mention it? Why are we talking about it?
You wrote that they were using that song to close out the show, I figured you saw that on IMDb or something. Seriously, what prompted you to bring it up, if you "have no knowledge" of anything?

I said, "Wow, she looks like she's seen a ghost!" during her closeup, and I never use that expression. So yeah, count me in with the "She was under the impression that Walt was dead" crowd. And again, that has no bearing on whether or not she was under the impression that he was a murderous drug lord--she could have believed one, or the other, or both, or neither, but in any case, her thoughts on one matter do not affect her thoughts on the other.
