Strangely enough ... I agree with you. I’m hoping Walt will do one last thing to redeem himself, maybe to save Jesse because that’s the last small bit of goodness that’s still there, and because it’s an important moral lesson: He saves Jesse even though Jesse no longer deserves it. [And being saved has nothing to do with deserving...]

It’s a toss-up between that and the “Crystal Blue Persuasion” scene as the Best Montage Ever.

Eh - shorter than cancer, and Heisenberg ends his life on Heisenberg’s terms. His ego won’t let him waste away to nothing, not after all he’s done and gone through to create this brilliant catastrophe.

There’s always the Scarface option - which hints towards the M-60 and the scene where he’s watching that movie with Walt Jr.

Nope, I watch everything on DVR so I don’t have to watch commercials and Sunday nights I’m usually trying to figure out how I’m supposed to make a buck the next week.

“Walt really lost me when
he turned on Gus. He had the perfect set-up to just cook,
and not have to deal with moving the merchandise.”

No way. Walt was a dead man walking, unless he killed Gus first.

This is incorrect: "Everyone knows it's Windy."

Windy was a #1 song in 1967 -- remember it well. It was recorded by The Association who had at least one other BIG HIT I can recall: Cherish.

"Wendy" doesn't really even work. The double entendre based on what Windy does to get money for meth is a typically heavy handed Hank joke...

Yeah says he likes smart TV that’s well written. Sorry your busy body mind can’t handle it, but that’s your problem. Meanwhile we’ll keep enjoying one of the best shows in the history of TV while you stroke your ego.

That’s the only way I can see the show ending. They can’t let him get away with it

Sure they can...it's Breaking Bad.

He will die like a cat....off somewhere on his own. Legally he'll have "gotten away with it", but spiritually and at the cost of his soul and everything he held dear...he will not.

Did you miss the part where Gus was clearly going to cut Walt out and make Jesse the head cook?

I like the Mexican Song about Heisenberg. Catchy tune.

it’s been bugging me since Sunday night - why did Huell flip so easily? Ever since he’s been on the show, he’s been portrayed as a cool & collected cat, secure and comfortable in what he does for Saul.

I wouldn’t have expected him to buy Hank’s story so easily, even with a photo from the camera.

Walt killed Gus because he suspected Gus would kill him as soon as he found him replaceable...imho

That's why Walt poisoned Brock...to manipulate and get Jesse back on his side. He was suspecting that Gus was grooming Jesse to take over for a dead Walt.

As soon as Walt said “oh man everybody dies in this one” watching scarface, I knew how the ending was going to go.

Killing Gus is one of the few actually defensible things Walt does.

hahahaha - surreal and slightly creepy - I was a little unnerved when I first saw it.

I thought that song was great. I laughed when she plucked a hair out of her mouth.

because he does know that Walt had the ten guys in several prisons taken out all within two minutes. he also knows his partner and believes he would kill him once he saw the fake jesse murder photo. He also knows he can’t play stupid because Hank knows who Walt is - his brother in law no less - and told him a bunch of stuff that is true about Walt. I think huell just saw endgame and no upside playing stupid, and believed Jesse being dead. He also sees Saul getting more nervous about dealings with Walt, and Jesse is a big problem for Saul and Walt, and he didn’t go away.

I believe it’s plausible. Lots of times people forget governemt agents can lie to you.
