My God, yes. "Just so you know this isn't personal." JESUS TODD, IT'S PRETTY PERSONAL.
I dunno. I think Elliot and Gretchen are more the catalyst to get Walt moving again than anything. Watching them on TV made him realize he still has one thing left, the one thing still worth fighting for, the one thing that's, deep down, the most important thing to him. His name and legacy.
His family hates him. They're lost to him forever. What else can he do? Go down in a blaze of visible, terrible, attention seeking glory, thinking if you can't be loved and respected, you might as well be infamous.
"Remember My Name".
...but you never know. Even after writing my little essay out above, I don't think the ending is gonna play out exactly like that. I think it'll hit a few of those notes, but something else will happen. Something out of left field we weren't expecting, but'll make perfect sense when we see it all go down.
Breaking Bad has never been a slave to its plot, so it's almost impossible to predict what will happen. That's one of the many, many things that make it such a cool show.
That was pretty good, appreciate the link.
Agree completely with this. Grey Matter has been the thorn in Walts side from the start, but I doubt he will address this directly.
The last episode Walt realised he had lost his family forever, his son would never forgive him for the situation they've been put in. The Grey Matter segment if anything reminds him that there was another reason he did what he did.
He still has that ego and wants to be remembered. If nothing else he will not fade into obscurity.
I wonder how he will react if he sees Jessie though.
I think this is a fair assumption considering there is only one episode left and to go after Grey matter would be overreaching.
This is Breaking Bad and Heisenberg, not Apple and Steve Jobs/Tim Cook.
That's what's so brilliant about it! You're not expecting it at all, then...BAM! Walt lawyers up, goes after Elliot, and gets Grey Matters changed to the Walter H. White Institute of Science...bitch. The last scene is him laughing his ass off in that little New Hampshire shack, screaming "HA! NOW EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER MY NAME". He glances over at that big gun he bought, smiles, rolls his eyes, then....fade to black.
Credits roll.
edit: Oh, and Todd and Lydia get married and have a bunch of really weird kids.
All of that sounded really awful until the bit about Todd and Lydia.
Those whackjobs should get together already.

Pfft. The whole thing's awesome, and you know it.
NH state motto, Live Free or Die. Walt is coming back home to ABQ in the final episode. He can't ever live free again, no matter what. Can Jesse live free again or is it too late? Can the two main characters both die in the final episode? Or will Jesse pull some chemistry magic and kill Todd? I think Todd is as hateable character as Richie Aprile was on the Sopranos. Or will this be a show where the bad guys win? Stay tuned for the answers to these questions and more just 3 days.
Wow. Just wow.
I've finally caught up to the end of series 5 just in time for Monday, and I'm absolutely breathless. (Did the entire 5 series in a month!)
I can't wait to see how it all gets wrapped up.
Walt is pure evil, and I feel really sorry for Jesse, especially the merciless murder of Andrea. Feel really sorry for Marie as well.

Little aside here, but my parents are watching BB, and I'll occasionally swing by the house and sit in for a few episodes. Last night, I saw the scene where Jesse is in AA, shortly before he meets Andrea, I believe, talking about the time he built a box for woodworking...
On Talking Bad (yeah, I know, shaddup), the one clue Vince Gilligan gives for the final episode is "woodworking". Just that single word. Nothing more.
It makes me think that maybe, just maybe, it's a hint that Jesse does live beyond see the ending. Maybe he ends up rehabilitating himself through woodworking. It's the one thing he believes he's good at outside of the drug trade, so he could pick it up in an attempt at leading a normal life.

I just caught up with all the episodes... I remember watching the first couple of episodes when the show first came out, but I never stuck with it.
Last thursday, I started watching it all from episode 1, and I just caught up today. Can't wait for the finale, it's an amazing show

Good pickup. We'll soon know how it all wraps up. Or at least I hope there is some kind of definitive ending and not left to speculation. Or at least I think I hope that.
I don't want Walt or Jesse to die. I hope Heisenberg goes Rambo on Uncle Jack and Todd and takes them all out. Then he frees Jesse, and turns himself in to vindicate what he can for his family. Or maybe all the main characters end up dead except for Saul. This is a tragedy after all. Walt, Jesse, Skylar and Uncle Jack's gang have all done terrible things. Me, I still hope that Walt and Jesse survive, but I don't that Mr. White will make it. Maybe he dies in Skylar's arms.

See, I don't think Walt is gonna try to vindicate himself. He wants to go out in a blaze of glory and revenge. He'll start a war with the Nazi crew, but they're the type that fights dirty, playing any advantage they can. Somehow his family will get caught in the middle of it, and someone will die.
It'll end with Walt winning, doing something so spectacular that'll he'll get his wish for infamy, but it'll be a hollow, costly victory. After the dust settles, he'll wish he just stayed in New Hampshire and waited for the cancer to take him.

Yes
It actually wasn't all that hard haha. About a season every two days... Idk, it's just so good, especially the last two seasons had so many have-to-know-what-happens-next episodes, I'd just watch a bunch in a row lol

For sure! I'm a little behind but I just bought season 2 of Homeland and I understand season 3 is about to start. So I'll have something to watch after we find out what happens to Walt & Co.
Homeland is such a frustrating show. On one hand, its addicting. On the other, the directing, writing and acting are so bad sometimes, its laughable. I'm with you but its a weak substitute IMHO.
How will Walt die, and will Jesse die? We can expect the unexpected. Marie has been in short supply, will her presence be felt in the finale? I am going to miss this show.
Its seems to have won quite a few awards Eg Golden Globes and Emmy for acting and writing?
Anyway back to Breaking bad and it seems at least we will be seeing more of Saul in the future!
Better Call Saul!
Some of you may already know about or even participated, but we already have a thread about Homeland. I just found it today and have not read any of it, since I am a full season behind. But, if you didn't know about it, enjoy! I'll join in that thread once I'm caught up.
As for Breaking Bad, does anyone know how long it takes before it's available on iTunes after it airs on AMC? I don't know if I want to wait until after work Monday to see it, unless I can get it sooner.
