When this show started a few years back, we watched two episodes, until the dissolved guy fell through the bathroom floor, and my wife was like "Yeah...I'm out."

At the time, the idea of a series on AMC was so new...seems funny now, since they have so many good shows.

Anyway, when AMC did their big buildup to the "Final Episodes", we DVR'd the whole damn series. Two episodes from done in season 4.

I almost dipped out after that episode and felt that could have been left out. Kind of like the chain saw scene in Scarface, I almost shut it off after that, but kept on and it was awesome. lol

Dissolving bodies with acid has become a hallmark of the show :D

True, but plastic barrels give it a different feel than a crumbling red ceiling.

I went to Pirate Bay to get the latest episode of this....22,000 Seeders. I'd never seen that many. I had the show in 10 seconds.


The ending confrontation was epic and everything I hoped it would be.

I've seen fans speculating online that Walt Jr. has maybe been smoking the meth off-screen and will OD; would certainly be a cool twist.

While poetic, it'd be a huge jump for him to go from a teenage kid excited about his car (the last time I remember seeing him) to being strung out on meth. I've personally never seen the stuff or knowingly met someone who used, so my knowledge is limited to the PSA adds. But based on some of the other tweekers they've shown us on screen, I think he'd be caught by his parents beforehand. But you never know.

People do change, though. Guys I went to high school with who were captains of the volleyball team, football team, would never even dream of smoking a cigarette, etc gradually became chain-smokers, major potheads, etc. Plus I don't think we've ever seen Jr. in a scene where he's not around his parents or Marie and Hank, so we really don't have a firm grasp of what he's like outside of family time. Not to mention that to the best of my knowledge, we've never seen Jr's bestfriend Louis once and have no idea of what type of person he is. It's entirely conceivable that one day him and Jr. are hanging out and Louis encourages him to try some of the blue meth.

Just binge watched the last 5 episodes. So glad I held off to watch a bunch at once. Wow, just wow! I hate to see this show go man, damn.

This series will go down as one of the top 10 of all time. I was so happy that rat fuck Jesse was getting tortured. Walt's comment as they took him away was straight up cold blooded.

It's total Scarface now. Everybody is going down and despite how evil Walt is, you're still rooting for him. Speaking of which, there is no more Walt, only Heisenberg.

I don't consider him evil. I really don't. He's done bad things, but with the exception of poisoning the kid, everything was justified. And if what he told Jesse 2 episodes ago, that he knew how much to give Brock so he wouldn't die, I don't know if he's ever been evil.
