That finale was one of the best I've seen in terms of wrapping up everything in a satisfactory manner. What did you think of it and the series?

The Charlie Rose segment was interesting and it was surprising that Walt used Elliot and Gretchen as benefactors instead of killing them, as you might have thought he would do. The way he got vengeance on Jack and his crew was awesome. Also glad that he told Skyler that he didn't kill Hank and he gave her the coordinates.

My brother is claiming that it is theorized that none of what happens after Walt's car wouldn't start actually happened. Would you agree with that theory?

It took about 4 years watching on Netflix to finish the show, I will probably rewatch the early episodes, but I think the show really picks up once he starts cooking for Gus.

My 'R' key is on its last legs. This isn't a gimmick. Instead of CTRL + Ving the letter R every time, I am giving up on Rs, so forgive any words missing R.

When it was covered in snow in NH?

With police searching for him in New Hampshire, Walter White finds an unlocked car, its windows covered in snow, and gets inside. Suffering from the cold weather, he searches for something to start the engine. In the glove compartment, he finds a Marty Robbins music tape and a screwdriver. He tries to use the screwdriver to start the car, but fails after several attempts. The flickering lights of a police car appear, though Walt can't be seen from outside because of the icy snow covering all the windows. As a flashlight passes over the car, Walt quietly pleads, "Just get me home. I'll do the rest." The police car leaves without further inspection, and after a moment of intuition, the car keys drop from the visor into his lap.

Here, the keys falling from the overhead visor signal the beginning of a deathbed fantasy in which he solves all the riddles of the ravaged world he abandoned.

Poor Jessie, was nothing but a string of tragic events for that character. I really felt bad when his girlfriend was shot in the back of the head and he had to watch.

I really liked it, but I think Season 4 would have been a better ending to the series.

He chose his path. He wanted to be part of the game and he got his.

If you say so

He tried to leave like 4 times and got dragged or blackmailed into it

Erm you got him and Jane the wrong way round

And you're intentionally ignoring a lot

My point still stands that there were like 3/4 different times he tried to walk away

going 'Well he was mad people murdered children!' doesn't counter that

Jesse tried through the entire series to repent for his mistakes but kept getting manipulated into coming back. He didnt deserve anything past season one imo

It's pretty good early on but gets ridiculous as the show goes on. A train heist? GTFO

Gus Frings death would have been better if they didn't include him walking out calmly and adjusting his tie, with half his face blown off they should've just cut after the explosion. It looked cartoonish and dumb and trust me I already know about the meaning behind it.

Yeah, I actually saw that episode last week and that scene felt out of place in a realistic show like this.

The train heist was awesome, especially the way they watered it back down in a way that nobody would notice it was gone.

Honestly, the last eight episodes were kind of a letdown for me. Everything moved too fast and they really skirted over Jesse's arc and the Neo Nazis as characters in the final episodes. It seems like they released El Camino to help remedy this, but it was disappointing at the time considering how great the previous seasons were with fleshing out the characters.

I agree

I think season 1 is best

Yeah, they really did Gomey dirty. It was still very hard hitting, though.

Jesse's ending wasn't very good, imo. Haven't finished El Camino yet.

Just started watching, on episode 3 right now. Finished El Camino and wtf the actor that played Todd looks unrecognizable, all in all it was an okay ending to Jesse's story but pretty weak all around.

What's weird is that his opening shot in El Camino is Jessie looking up at him with his belly fat over his belt.

So it just demonstrates how fat Todd is.... That was weird direction
