Another thing...how were the cartels afraid to murk gus but somehow walt gets away with it???

They weren't afraid to murk Gus. They needed his distribution system. Mike even tells Jesse this in season 4, ep 9. If you mean back in the day, in the flash back, it was out of respect for the people he had back in Chile. But that was like 30 years ago.

we all know the cartels would rape anyone in the sw fukking with their business but in the show that kind of power would get boring because one man (walt) would never be able to rival them

As far as Lydia, there's a few reasons she had to die. First and foremost she continued to ship Walt's product over seas, which is mentioned in that Charlie Rose interview. Even if she wasn't a threat to Walt's family, that alone is a reason to kill her.

1. Uncle Jack: "Bring Jesse in this living room right now so I can prove to you he's not my partner. I have 70 million of your dollars and I'm gonna kill you in 4 minutes, but we have to settle this random remark you just made. I have to tell you all my plans"

2. Lydia: "I can't go to jail for any reason. Lets kill anyone and everyone who could incriminate me. But I also have OCD so lets meet and discuss our global drug and murder enterprise in the exact same coffee shop at the exact same time every Tuesday. Yes even after we kill 2 DEA agents and our cook becomes the most wanted man in America.

These are easily addressed. Whether or not you agree is :manny: but I'll try.

1. The Aryan Brotherhood considers snitching, or associating with a snitch, one of the worst possible offenses. There is real life guys like Michael Thompson that snitched on them 30 years ago, and he still has to dodge attempts on his life daily. That's how deep it is for them.

It's incredibly disrespectful to suggest they'd work with a known Federal Informant like Jesse. So nah it's not really odd that Jack would go out of his way to prove Walt wrong, regardless of whether or not they were going to kill him.

2. This second one makes zero sense. Walt copped to the deaths of Hank and Gomez. That would've been all over the news almost immediately, and the scene we're shown is 6 months later. There hasn't been an open investigation on Lydia since damn near a year ago in the show. Todd isn't on anyone's radar. Not really understanding what you're trying to say with this second one.

no, they were afraid to murk gus, remember how they murked his homeboy in the flashback scene and the boss nikka told him that he would have got the business if it wasnt for him knowing who gus was. That right there should tell u that Gus was big shyt.

Breh, that was like 30 years ago, when Gus was fresh outta Chile.

The reason the cartel didn't want him dead even after he started beefing was because he had the distribution network, not because they were afraid of him.

Only thing I would have changed (not really) is Walt finding a finished batch of blue sky in the lab... Piercing it and snorting a lil bit of the meth, making the :leon: face and saying "Not bad..." before dropping dead.

I feel people on this one

If done right, could have been a great moment, the cook scenes were always well done.

I thought the ending was great & satisfying. I always felt the show would have a definitive ending, Vince basically said as much since day 1. He wanted Walt to go out at his best(Heisenberg), I thought it worked and the ending shot/song were perfect.

This dude came to the same conclusion as the NYTimes writer....



Scene in Skylers kitchen:




The scene in the Schwartz' house:




If true this makes the ending 100 times more interesting (and better) than the comic book ending ya'll want to protect.

Weak. Breaking Bad was not a mystery based show. It never had dream sequences or anything mystic going on. Why would they all of a sudden switch everything up in the final episode? Why does there have to be a hidden alternate reality? It's like people just can't be satisfied with enjoying the show. They don't want it to be over so they come up with these scenarios so they can continue to analyze and talk about it. Vince Gilligan said he wanted closure with the finale, even if it meant it was predictable.

Everything was fine with me and made sense, although I wish that nikka Flynn got off'd for being such an ungrateful fukk. Not deserving of the name Walt ass nikka.
