The official Breaking Bad is an awesome fucking show thread.

I'm sticking with being happy with the ending still... Walt died were he felt most alive was the best choice - whether you thought it was overly obvious. Everything else is knitpicking.
Him going to jail, or dying in the snow would of been dumb as fuck. He died on top, and strong - and came to truth with his ego.

I think people are associating a good ending with a shocking one and a bad ending with a more obvious one. Just because you expect something to happen doesn't mean it's a bad ending. I think one of the biggest things in the last episode that isn't discussed enough (although nato touched on it above) is how walt finally came to terms with WHY he did what he did. Throughout the show walt defended his actions by saying it was all for his family until the very end he admitted he did it for himself. The show makes us question morals and why we do things... is it ok for us to do bad things for the right reasons? Many people rooted for walt till the end because of his motives, but did that change when he revealed his true motive? The great thing about the show is the characters and character development. We see these people transform from good to evil and it makes the audience question their own morality. Although the show was shocking at times and had some surprising plot twists, that's not what it's truly about. The ending didn't leave you thinking what happened, but maybe why it happened, and made you think about what's right or wrong and good or evil. The more I think about it the more I like the ending.
In hindsight while I did enjoy Todd & his comedic relief, Uncle Jack being the last main antagonist fell pretty flat overall. After Gus was so great they needed to build up someone else. Would have liked to see either someone from Gus' past or from the cartel introduced at the start of season 5. They played the Hank/DEA angle more, which made his anticlimactic death that much more disappointing in the big picture.
I agree Uncle Jack should of been mid-boss. A little above Tuco.
but like the writers said, they didn't anticipate the fanfare Gus would bring, and they couldn't keep him around forever.
They also never really elaborated on the Lydia euro link... some Russian Mob would of been a better end boss. I think they easily could of had one more season - without it feeling stretched out.
oh well. We still were left with a great show.

Well yeah, I thought that was kind of obvious. I think if they were adamant about Uncle Jack being the last antagonist he should have been introduced sooner, been given more of a chance to make an impact & honestly, gotten a better actor to play him. His character just seemed underdeveloped & an afterthought.
Czech mob boss or Gus' Chile connect would have been the way to go. Instead the main player from Gus' world we got to see was... Lydia :ermm:.

Breaking Bad' teacher-turned-druglord gets obituary in Albuquerque newspaper
(Reuters) - Fans mourning the loss of the gritty drug drama "Breaking Bad" and its main character, chemistry-teacher-turned-meth-kingpin Walter White, memorialized the fictitious druglord on Friday with a real obituary in an Albuquerque newspaper.
Members of the Facebook page "Unofficial Breaking Bad Fan Tour" and local high school science teacher David Layman, who appeared as an extra in the show's pilot, purchased advertising space for the 87-word tribute in the Albuquerque Journal, the newspaper reported.
"White, Walter aka 'Heisenberg,' 52, of Albuquerque, died Sunday after a long battle with lung cancer, and a gunshot wound," read the ad, which ran on page A4 on Friday. "He will be greatly missed."
The ad also urged readers to donate to drug abuse prevention programs.
"Putting the obit in the paper was fitting, because the series was based in Albuquerque and it provides some of us some closure," Layman told the paper.
The AMC drama, which concluded on Sunday, chronicled the transformation of White from a high school teacher scrambling to secure his family's finances after a terminal cancer diagnosis to the commander of an illegal methamphetamine empire. It won best drama series for its fifth season at the Emmy awards last month.
Sunday's 75-minute finale showed White, played by Bryan Cranston, tie up the loose ends of his crumbling drug empire and die just as the police finally catch up with him.
The conclusion drew 10.3 million viewers, the show's biggest audience for any single episode of its five seasons!
still not better then the sopranos tho, no way

I didn't like Jesse Pinkman not dying.....he was a snitch, he should've been dealt with. I liked Walt going into the meth lab to die, like someone posted earlier the episode was him coming to grips with the fact that he wanted that life for himself and not anyone else....and him falling to the floor as the cops come give the viewer the option of him dying or getting caught. Todd was one of my favorite characters, but I agree that they didn't put enough effort into the uncle's character...and I would've liked to see more of Todd & Lydia together, they were so odd that it was funny
