Seriously? No active thread? After the insanity that was last night's episode? Surely there have to be people around here who like this show as much as I do.
I'm quite positive a lot of people here watch the show It's just so good that it doesn't need a thread? :B Regardless, the series is amazing. I'm really sad that it's ending, but then again these past episodes have been immensely satisfying. It feels like an actual climax (this is important to me because the final season of Dexter has been really terrible and feels like any other season). All hail the king
Pretty much my face during every episode of the current season: Spoiler I'm sad that it's ending soon, but I'm desperate to find out how it's going to end. I love this series. #teamhuell (Did BB seriously not already have a thread? Damn KHV, water u doin)
Spoiler I'm really glad Hank didn't die like a b!tch. That whole scene was so goddamn gut-wrenching. If they kill off Jesse, I'll probably actually cry. A lot.
Finale discussion time. ( that kind of sucked ) Way too safe of an ending, don't know why they're smashing open-ended ones, they're my favorites. It had none of the "hoshit everything is coming together" feeling of the season finales. It really felt off-key with the rest of Breaking Bad which, despite my problems with it, is very clever and tense. This was neither. It felt more like the writers said "well I think we've been mean enough already, let's give the fans a break." before y'all get mad at me: I haven't been a big fan of the show. I liked season two but the rest I'm really meh on, I'm just probably not the target audience. I'll go back to Downton Abbey now.
Spoiler: Hope this site has spoiler tags for the finalle! Awesome episode! All about Walt, he pulled off what few fictional characters can "being truly inteligent" , unlike most characters that are smart because "everyone says so" (I am looking at you Leouloch of the rebelion), Walt's plans are always well done! Loved how he planned from the begning to the end! How he saved Jessie! How he put the jearks of Grey matters on their places `___´! This end is so great it teases us for more! Unfortunetly there won't be a Heisenberg so soon, but maybe a "Señor Rosado" ? XD! Todd also has to be acknowledged! In those short episodes he became a full villian , when he have started as a such good boy! It remembered me of a movie about Hannah Arendt , in this picture she says about the nature of evil and how "normal people" could do the worst things by not thinking in what they are doing, only doing what they are told (like the nazi). I wanted more of this universe, but this is the end we needed, not the one that we wanted! Walt closed all his conections with criminals, saved his family (that will henrit his money) , and save Pinkman! Even though it wasn't enough to attone for his crimes! I really like the "poetry liberty" that they give in Breaking bad, to make "beautiful deaths": Mike go off his car to a lake to watch the sun set while dieing, Gustav Fring walked from the rom with half of his body exploded just to make he seem "immortal" and more badass.. Walt had a mortal wound that didn't let much blood flow.. but just when he got in the place that he loves (the lab) the blood that wasn't coming in 10 minutes of screen play just flowed all out in that pool of blood! A scientist until the end, doing what he loves to do! That lydia also finaly got what she deserved her OCD made her a easy target for Walter's mind. He is too smart, and had months to plan ahead!
These final eight episodes were more about everything being torn apart. After all the damage to Walt's family was done, there really is nothing left. There's no fixing anything. The stresses of running the empire is gone, now there's only remorse and shame. The finale was about Walt finally seeking what little peace is left to him. After the smash-grab heart-wrenching episodes before it, I think a relief of an ending is appropriate.
I had a discussion with my philosophy professor today after class about Breaking Bad because it was somewhat relevant to what we were discussing . He hadn't finished it yet so I couldn't say much, but it was entertaining nonetheless. We discussed Walter's approach to the meaning of life and how he chose to live. I mentioned that in the last episode Walter finally admitted that he was doing all of this for himself, which was a call-back to the first episode where he says "I am awake" to Jesse. Fun times.
