So I liked the ending, I thought it was pretty satisfying as far as TV shows went. Shit it could have been a lot worse. My vote for best episode of the season is Oymandias, hands down. My lone disappointment is not seeing Jesse kill Walt. I thought that was going to happen 100%.
Also poisoning Lydia with the ricin is great but if you actually read up on ricin the gastrointestinal tract has a hard time digesting it so ingestion is actually the worst method for Walt's purpose. Obviously we are supposed to believe that she ends up dying but very likely that she actually lives. So his family might be fucked any way.
I love how Jack tells him if he wants to see the money he won't pull the trigger, and Walt shoots him before he can finish his sentence.
two things I didn't like were that the FBI knows he's in town but isn't there/doesn't have enough man power to stop him from entering and leaving Skylers and that his fail plan with that rotating gun actually works.
Parts I liked were the way he fucked up the grey matter people, probably because I shouted out immediately to my bud that those were laser pointers being shown by Badger and other guy. (would have never guessed who was showing the laser pointers if I didn't read vegas1369 spoiler post with the cast though)

Yes there were holes, dumb scenarios, and a lot of predictability. Probably more of all three in this one episode than five seasons combined, BUT, all things ended exactly the way they needed to end. To me, it was perfect.
starting season 1 now
I may have to watch this show too.Quote:

Also, people are seriously focused on the plausibility of this episode? The entire show was based on absurdity.
lol, that was my favorite scene too, but it was more about the way it was shot with the invisible wall between them the entire time. That was some next level shit right there.Quote:

That being said, we're nitpicking badly; it was about as satisfying of a finale of any show I've ever watched. I can't think of a better one except for Sopranos. I haven't seen Six Feet Under or The Shield but always hear that they ended well.
So bummed this show is over, so much better than anything else right now. Homeland has entered late seasons of Dexter/Weeds territory in terms of awfulness, Boardwalk still has no direction, Orange is the New Black is good but overrated, sigh..
Totally disagree with this. If there was anything about teh run-up to the end that I thought sucked, its the fact that decided to whip through 2+ months in one episode, the 2nd to last episode. Kind of an insane pacing choice, IMO. It's like they had 14 episodes in the can, then were like, "OK, ending starts NOW, how to we tie all this up?"Quote:

Some good points here. I agree that a lot of my disappointment was rooted in me comparing it to the previous episodes, and perhaps not viewing it for what it was.

Great show.
I do think the "greatness" or lack thereof of the 18 ep season 5 will be debated over time, but nobody can argue seasons 3 and 4 as being some of the best TV ever.

‘METÁSTASIS.’ THE SPANISH-LANGUAGE REMAKE OF ‘BREAKING BAD’

Breaking Bad
Colombian Walter White
The explosive success of Breaking Bad was bound to generate some copycats shows, but Spanish language media company Univision took it a step further, decided to cut out all those pesky middlemen (I think they’re called “writers”), and do a direct Spanish language remake. The Univision version will be set in Colombia and called Metástasis, the term for the spread of cancer- I assume “breaking bad” doesn’t really translate. The project seems intent on keeping every iconographic piece of the show they can, down to “Walter Blanco” (yes, really) in his famous white briefs. They even named his wife “Cielo Blanco”- “Cielo” being Spanish for “sky.”
Of course, some things will have to change to make sense to Univision audiences. The RV that houses Walt’s first meth lab will be replaced by a school bus, since RVs aren’t common in Colombia. Honestly, though? I feel like the context of the show is so American that an RV is going to be the least of their plot problems. Colombia’s relationship with drugs is, to say the least, very different from drug culture in the U.S. So much of the show’s premise is based on U.S. drug wars, especially our border with Mexico and our DEA. Colombia has already decriminalized cocaine and marijuana, and are arguably on their way to doing the same with meth.
Still, I’m really curious about how this will turn out. I may have to tune in just to see a Colombian Saul Goodman!
Yeah, I kinda thought it was bullshit too.
Until.

Breaking bad Alternate Endings and story Lines That were considered:
Skyler kills herself.
Walt Jr. was almost killed in Season 2
The Machine Gun-- They didn't know what they were going to do with the M60 machine gun they introduced in beginning of Season 5.
Walt's life in New Hampshire -- The writers also kicked around the idea of giving Walt more of a long-term second life in New Hampshire.

It speaks to the fact that the writers were fairly soundly fucked over in terms of being able to work within defined constraints and found themselves behind the 8-ball.Quote:

I'll make some calls, clearly they have no idea whats at stake if they fail to embrace magical friendship.

Despite the perceived shortcomings of the finale, I feel like Breaking Bad has a claim for GOAT.
All of the other shows had serious flaws in terms of pace, bad seasons, shitty characters etc. I'm as big of a Wire fan as anybody but season five looks worse and worse after multiple viewings. The ending was good but basically inevitable, as every season ended the same.
Breaking Bad may be GOAT for broadcast TV. I do give The Wire the nod over it tho but I also fast forwarded through every scene with a white person in it after a while which helped tremendously.Quote:

You know you are doing well when Anthony Hopkins is a massive fanboy of yours and hails your acting as the best he has ever seen.
Anthony Hopkins :" Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen – ever.”
http://www.vulture.com/2013/10/antho...mid=googlenews
Anthony Hopkins is a huge Breaking Bad fan. Like, really huge. Huge enough that he wrote a very gushy fan letter to Bryan Cranston. BB's Steven Michael Quezada initially posted the letter on Facebook, but he has since taken it down, alas. Hopkins's agent confirmed to Buzzfeed that he did in fact write the letter, which we now present to you:
Dear Mister Cranston.
I wanted to write you this email – so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber – I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency.
I’ve just finished a marathon of watching “BREAKING BAD” – from episode one of the First Season – to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. (I downloaded the last season on AMAZON) A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.
I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!
Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen – ever.
I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I’ve sort of lost belief in anything really.
But this work of yours is spectacular – absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers…. every department – casting etc. managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that over used word) awesome.
From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.
If you ever get a chance to – would you pass on my admiration to everyone – Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, R.J. Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada – everyone – everyone gave master classes of performance … The list is endless.
Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.
You and all the cast are the best actors I’ve ever seen.
That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It’s almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.
Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.
Best regards
Tony Hopkins.
Cranstons response?
Oh and if you really want to go all out for Halloween this year you can sport the Heisenberg hyperflesh face mask. The quality and detail on this thing is HOF
They are a limited edition and only i think 20 or so are being made
It will only set you back about... oh $25,000!
Cliffs: Cranston wore it to a comic con convention and walked around half the day with it on. Nobody knew it was really him wearing it until the end

Happy Halloween :)
Confirmed, it's me.Quote:
