Breaking Bad Season 5 - Official Discussion Thread

[Corporate Thug]

good finale but I for one am not sad the show is over...it was just the right length.

 

[Gibsons]

Yeah, that whole thing where marie was calling skylar saying 'clues are everywhere, walts in town'.

It was a little slow, but it was the right ending IMO, no loose ends.

No loose ends, excuse me?

What about HUELL?!?!

Oh wait, there he is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP_4z4IoYHs

 

[Corporate Thug]

why did walt put the watch jesse gave him on the payphone?

practical explanation: way back when, they did a promo where walt was not wearing a watch at the breakfast where he made the 52 with bacon so for the sage of continuity, they had to find a way where he dumped the watch.

Artsy explanation: symbolic of walt's time coming to an end.

Still trying to figure out Walt's motive for killing Lydia, I'm not quite remembering what he thinks she did to wrong him.

 

[Udgnim]

guess Todd wasn't some psychopath genius

since he didn't suspect Walt was the source of the gunfire

hard to suspect someone rigging a mechanical arm strapped with a M60 in their trunk though

Aryans taking over the meth business was started by Lydia

Right, it's his product, his empire. It dies with him so he gets the credit.

For Season 5 I'd go

1. Confessions
2. Felina
3. Gliding Over All
4. Dead Freight
5. Ozymandias

But overall there are some Season 2 episodes that can't be topped for me.

You really didn't think Ozymandias was the best of the series?

 

[BrokenVisage]

It was a powerful episode of course and probably the gem of the series but as my personal favorite it's #5 for me.

Ozymandias was the best episode of anything ever.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Ozymandias was the best episode of anything ever.

I agree.

 

[nageov3t]

Ozymandias was the best episode of anything ever.

agreed, though I don't think that takes away anything from the finale.

Ozymandias was an epic ramping up of drama, whereas finales necessarily have to be more of a winding down of things.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

So I was wrong on the ricin and ending shot but I was glad to be wrong. It was a satisfying finale and I will miss the show.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Great wrap up to an amazing series.

(spoiler alert) And now I'm thinking about later in life when I'm trying to explain to someone the basic plot of the show... "It really is the best show ever! Yes, it's about a high school science teacher who has cancer and stumbles into becoming a meth cook kingpin but seriously!".

Crazy to think about..

 

[Xstatic1]

Awesome finale!

Cold blooded sociopath, for sure... But I don't think anyone believed he was a genius.

 

[mugs]

Ozymandias was the best episode of anything ever.
