THANK YOU MR. GILLIGAN!
Todd got what he deserved, and in the worst way!
Seeing walt at that last scene got me teary. Where else to see him go, than from the setting where it all began.
Everything that should’ve happened, happened. The proper ending to this masterpiece of a show.
Jack got what he deserved son.
Anyone else like the throwback to what Jack did to Hank and now to what Walt did to Jack?
VINCE GILLIAN THE GOD
Perfect way to end the show.
But whatever happened to Huell? Poor dude probably still waiting for Hank to come back. lol
“If you kill me, you’ll never know where the money–”
BANG
I’d say it was similar to how Walt saved Jesse by standing over a drug dealer and shooting him in the head.
Huell will be in that room longer than Hank was on that toliet.
Hail to the Motherfucking King!
Perfect finale! I’m probably in the minority of people who wanted to see Walt somehow survive but I love how in the end, his true love was the meth. Admitting to Skyler it was all for him was awesome, I was hoping before it was all said and done he would admit he enjoyed some part of everything, instead of wallowing in regret. Bravo to the writers.
Walt not only dies in the place he only ever truly “felt alive,” but also lets Jesse off the hook so he is not implicated in the meth, thus preserving Heisenberg’s legacy at the same time. At first I wasn’t totally happy but I think it wrapped up nicely.
I’m pretty satisfied with the way the show ended. No happy endings for anyone, really… even for Jesse, considering all that he’s lost. But I never expected that from this show. I think the ending suited the tone of the whole series.
A similar mask was featured in the second episode. It’s the one that got abandoned at the original cook site and that Hank started looking at a few episodes later. It’s one of the first “Oh SHIT!” moments in the show, where you think ‘this is it. This is how he gets caught.’
So you have that
But, also a mask is a metaphor for what we hide our true characters behind, our other selves when we’re alone, or only around our closest companions.
Also, it’s a GAS mask. It sustains you, keeps you alive. The connection to chemistry is also present and evident.
So it’s almost like the mask is a joke, being placed on top of Heisenberg, the mask that Water wears in order to deal with the impossible situation of dealing with highly connected drug dealers. The mask that sustains him and keeps him going as a druglord.
The fact that it lands next to him as he dies just kinda brings us full circle to the man he was when he first started, a noob, so carelessly leaving behind major evidence that could be traced back to him. We’re back to Walt again, wearing Heisenberg as a mask once more. But it’s a changed Walt, one that knows he’s been defeated, not by cancer, but by his own actions in response to cancer. Heisenberg’s done with him. He took over Walt, possessed him, but now he’s done and becomes merely a mask again. Walter’s back, the mask is off and he’s got almost everything he wanted, but unfortunately, he’s undone himself in the process, falling victim to Heisenberg instead of the cancer that started it all in the first place.
What great writing. :tup:
@BigDewey - AV Sauce, please!
So that was tied up nicely
Now for the deleted scenes and gag reel
I don’t think Walt ever planned on surviving his “final night”. The fact that he smiled right before dying, showed to me quite the contrary, that Walt was his mask, and Heisenberg: his true self. Admitting to Skyler that he did it all for himself further drove that point home for me. He was happy to die in the lab because building his empire was the only time he ever truly felt alive (thanks to the cancer in a fucked up way). Heisenberg cares for those close to him but ultimately it was his business/trade that he loved the most and could finally shed his Walt “mask” in the end by coming clean to everyone (Skyler, Jesse about the ricin etc.) but most importantly to himself.
I didn’t think of it with walt dying there freeing jesse implication
Holly White: story coninues
Yeah maybe that’s a better way of looking at it, that Walt was really the mask all along. In fact, you’re right. He actually tells us that in his conversation with Skylar, just as you said. Thanks. :tup:
The cops could potentially find Jesse’s confession tape in the compound and Marie/Skyler (and Huel etc.) know of his involvement. I think that Walt didn’t want anyone else taking credit for the blue meth.
Walt never got to give Jr. that proper goodbye tho 
I did like walt basked in blue light as they panned out
