No, that was Chris Carter. Vince Gilligan was a writer for X-Files and did something like 30 episodes.

Ah, that's it. I knew I remembered his name from the show. The X-Files still remains as the best TV show ever, imho. That show had my Friday nights locked.
I love X-Files too and have all 9 seasons on DVD. Though, IMO, Breaking Bad is even better.

The X-Files is before my time
but I agree that BB is better. Better than Game of Thrones for me. Shame it's almost over.
I wouldn't be so sure regarding his money. In the flash forward episode he leaves a $100 bill as a tip for the waitress. I'm guessing if he didn't have his money he wouldn't be leaving a tip like that.
I can tell ya right now he doesn't end up happily ever after. See the part i in the future when he goes to his house and it has kids skateboarding in the back, and his neighbor is shocked / terrified to see him? Also in the flash forwards he has quite a lot of money to spare ($100 tip, lots of guns which costed an undisclosed amount - probably $50k), and changed his identity (most likely with the cleaner). Also it appears like he ends up killing both Skyler and Jesse according to some easter eggs (because he takes on traits of people he kills). Crazy 8 - cuts the crust off his sandwiches after his death, same as he did. Gus - ends up driving a volvo, same as Gus. Mike - took his drinks on the rocks, which Walt took up. Skyler - would always position his bacon into the number of his bday, on his bday - same as Walt does when it flashes forward. Has same jacket as Jesse during the flash froward scenes.....we shall see! Unless he just does it as a momento because he misses them and can't contact to him to protect his identity.
Seems like it would be more of a comedy. At least lighter in nature, which is something I haven't really seen on AMC. I'm sure it'll be solid though.
Saw this earlier. So funny and so many references.
Watching that last hour was like inviting the writers to come over to your house so they could emotionally beat you to a bloody pulp.
That was the climax of the series. Everything is downhill from here.

In my mind I have always known there couldn't be a happy ending to this show... but still... watching it happen, and all of this. Wow.
Exactly. It isn't a happen endings type of show. The show prides itself on being brutal and to the point when it needs to be, all without glorifying anything Walt's been doing. We've all been excited to see exactly what he'd do next, but he's never been shown in a positive light. I figured closing it all out with anything anything but utter tragedy would've been a grave injustice to everything that came before.
...but what I just saw? Yeah. It was a little painful to watch. There was very little violence. Very little bloodshed. It was an hour of watching everything come to a head, and seeing everyone involved getting their souls crushed beneath the consequences of their actions.
That look on Walt's face in the desert. The way Jesse just...gave up after Walt told him that one little terrible secret he's been hiding from him since the second season. Skyler running down the street as Walt drives away. Marie hearing the news in the worst possible way...
Good God.
Not sure. The flash forward where Walter gets a car full of guns and promises the seller that "They won't leave town"
Not sure who he's gonna kill, but it doesn't seem like he's planing to avoid a final big conflict.
