Tonight's Breaking Bad was AWESOME!!! WARNING *****SPOILERS*****

[Chris]

Can't help but wonder if there was a dig at Lost in the end. He's lying on his back with a would in the same place Jack Shepherd had....but without a doubt, a much better finale.

It looks like a tag-back to Season 4 when Walt is in the crawlspace laughing when he discovers that Skylar spent his money on Ted.

[Brazoo]

Hey, what ever happened to Walt's mom?

[StrangeVisitor]

Gee whiz, if only he'd taken Grey Matter up on their offer to pay for his cancer treatments in the first place he wouldn't have had to blackmail them into laundering is drug money.

One of the crazy theories I had early in season 5, was that Madrigal Electromotive (parent company of Los Pollos Hermanos) would be revealed as a subsidiary/front of Grey Matter.

Liked the kitchen reveal too. Loved Gilligan's wrap-up, very satisfying.

"I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really...I was alive".

This scene choked me up. Glad I was watching alone.

Trust me, you weren't the only one crying. The ending was an emotional punch to the gut.

Was anyone else kinda hoping the last scene was going to be Walt walking into the lab, realizing it was the end, and trying out some meth?

Honest to God, that's exactly what I was thinking might happen.

Amazingly satisfied.

I think they really gave us everything we wanted. The final crazy Heisenberg caper was awesome, the use of the ricin was brilliant, Walt didn't get away unpunished with it but still was somewhat redeemed.

OH - and if you guys didn't read or see anything yet about the dying teenaged fan who helped shape the end of the series take a look. It's very sad and heartwarming:

Fantastic!

Minor (extremely minor) quibbles about Jack's strange behavioral quirks allowing for important parts of the plot to happen - again. Yeah, I can see how he wanted to show off Jessie to Walt, but again, you have to admit it wasn't the strongest motivation we've seen from a character on the show. It made for a fantastic scene though, so I'm really not complaining.

Walt leaving his watch behind on the pay phone: I thought because it was Walt's birthday it kind of reminded him of where it came from, but Giligan's explanation is very funny and very honest - if you guys didn't see it on "Talking Bad":

Gilligan explained that the reason Walt placed his watch (the one Jesse gave him for his 51st birthday) on top of the payphone after pretending to be the New York Times reporter was only retrofitted symbolism: The reason he had to do it was because they realized that in the flash-forward of him at Denny's that they'd shot for episode 501, Walt wasn't wearing a watch, so they had to explain where it went for continuity reasons. And so, out of necessity, they came up with what Gilligan called the "artsy fartsy" reason: It was a symbol of Walt, seeing the end is near, cutting ties with one of his "arch-nemeses," Jesse.

The Shield is a very good show...but Breaking Bad is a GREAT show.

Vic Mackey = a neanderthal brute who in the end did the unthinkable, he snitched.
Walter White = brilliant mastermind who went out on his own terms.

Breaking Bad wins...

While I wait for the entire series on the cool money barrel Blu-ray set this coming November...

Hurry up and finish the show, dammit, lol.

I have and holy crap...this may have been the best episode of them all. It was so well done; the writing, directing, acting, everything about it. I may be sad about it ending, but I'm happy the way it ended. It was perfect. Everything you wanted to happen for it to be a true conclusion, happened. This show is one that has remained, quality-wise, the strongest I have watched, and every episode has not only remained the same, but has only gotten stronger....if the way I phrased it makes sense.

Really good, but I still feel the finale to The Shield was stronger -
not only did it give resolution to 7 years of fabulous story telling,
but it left you knowing there was more to come.

Well there's still a lot to speculate about: Will Elliot and Gretchen keep their word? What will happen to Skyler? Brock? Jesse? How will they react to hearing about W****s death? Will L*****s death have an effect on anything? How will Jr. react when he finally recieves his money? But we don't need to know everything that happens, we can make our own conclusion on what happens next. That way, we can still speculate how what comes next even though it's over.

Near the end of the Talking Dead farewell segment, Vince Gilligan said his favorite show of all times is Rod Serling's Twilight Zone...now I see why Breaking Bad is so good, great influence.

[Operation:Mego]

I'm so jealous now, you guys saw it early. The wait is torture.
