I think it'd be fun if the season ends with the same scene it started with, ending at the same point, only you know exactly what's going to happen afterwards.

I just really hope that the opening where he buys the gun isn't the finale, that would be very boring and a bit of a cliche. I blame Christopher Nolan.

Well this season has genuinely had some of the high points do far. Most ha e been discussed already, but for me the guy at Madrigol giving himself a heart attack, the new 'lab' reveal, the magnet plan, the train heist, and the prison hit are all regular TV season finale strength episode ideas, oozing with quality.

Whilst I love the character of Walt, I utterly despise him too. Watching Skylar has been painful and incredibly uncomfortable. I miss the focus on Jesse though.

I don't want to speculate on what happens next as reading back some of the Reddit theories is laughable at how wrong they are.

Anywho, nice article here (for the visual/spoken homages, I think the WIFE IS TEH EVIL spin is bullshit, Walt and Jack are flawed, not their betrothed): http://www.vulture.com/m/2012/08/breaking-bad-the-shining.html even if they missed the dead obvious 'red tricycle' homage.

I agree with you that I have missed Jesse in this season. I would say the only criticism I have of this season is that they didn't work hard enough to include him more.

OKay completely ignoring any spoilers and everything before this I give you a cake my mate made for his boyfriend.

edit: hand painted with food colouring. Glasses made from spun sugar, joke, they're just made from card.

Thats awesome

New theory, Walt goes so power hungry he turns into cake, Skylar gets her 'tard face on and eats him.

Ah, the Massive Head thread. I hear this Massive Head programme is quite good?

A great & frustrating wrap to the season(yeah, full season my ass).

I dont think it was a deliberate slip that Walt left the book in the shithouse. Man just wanted some decent reading when squeezing one out & I can not wait to see old Hank & his poker face when sitting back down with the rest.

The thing that shocked me a little is how scared Jessie is of Walt, its sad that their relationship grew that way after ALL the shit they have been through, yeah talk about the old days but move wrong & I'll pop a cap in ya ass.

Shhheeeeetttt. Got it into my mind the last ep was last night. Downloaded the final ep again. Started watching and full disappointment started to cry out of my face.

Skerret

You silly boy.

Surely Hank will be able to look at security footage from his office and see Walt putting the taps in, that's what I was thinking anyway.
That prison montage was quite intense, made me squirm a bit.
Split seasons are shite.

I don't think it was an actual camera, I think it was foreshadowing Hank finding out.

ShabbyMcCrabby

I was more just thinking that surely his office would have a camera in it and not that the specific shot of the ep was from the footage perspective.

Skerret

Them's fightin' words.

Watched the last 3 episodes of this last night so finally able to read this thread. For the first time I have to wait months to find out what happens next rather than having everything a click away, but it'll be good to be able to join in with all the tin-foil hat brigade theories in this place come next July.

Only real disappoingment for me was that I was hoping Hank would see Walt in the Heisenberg hat rather than something like the book.

Found the train robbery slightly ludicrous but it was redeemed by Todd capping the kid, and not sure that I believed Skylar's sudden change from moll to terrified for the kids safety - a bit rushed - but other than that everything was pretty outstanding.

Loved the 'reconcilliation' between Walt & Jesse, made all the better by the reveal that Jesse had a gun / was terrified the whole time.

Dark Soldier

Jesse v Walt I hope plz God plz

adored

My guess would be the S5 opening as a precursor to Walt having his own "Say hello to my liddl friend" moment as the show ends.

Other possibilities for me include...

Hank unable to touch Walt when he finds out his medical bills wre payed with Meth money

Jesse vs Walt when Jesse finds out about either Mike or Brock

Skylar returning looking even more like a Bo-Selecta version of her S1 self.

Lydia presumably having a bigger part next time having bedded in this (half) season.

afgavinstan

Just watched all of S5. Fuck you Gilligan. Fuck you so hard.

I miss Mike, and I wanted more Jesse.

Dark Soldier

All of it? How in the?

afgavinstan

6 yesterday and 2 today.

Dark Soldier

I was teh joke, due to 8 next year still technically being Season 5.

afgavinstan

I'm calling it six, fuck Gilligan and his idea of a season.

Dark Soldier

Not Gilligan's fault, AMC wanted to split it.

afgavinstan

FUCK EVERYONE OK

Something I don't really talk about on here is my mild, well, severe kind of admiration for Aaron Paul. I think he's just amazing. And I'm kinda super bummed now there isn't any more to watch. I mean, I've got all the special features on S1-4 on DVD to get me by, but it's not enough!

IM GRIEVING DS OKAY

afgavinstan

He's my phone lock screen wallpaper FFS. I need to see someone.

Dark Soldier

Aye, he steals every scene he's in, which considering how fantastic Cranston is, is some achievement. That speech at the counselling place where he admits he's a monster is amazing.

three1ne

You are his 'bitch'.

afgavinstan

Basically any scene where Jesse cries, I'm a fucking wreck.

I loved how it was a complete role reversal. By the end, I fucking despised Walt's jealousy and the insane lengths he'd go to just to be "right". Jesse is the hero, now. Or at least he should be. I was so angry when Walt shot Mike. So fucking angry.

Anyway, I'm probably just repeating what's been said months ago. I'm just a ball of emotions right now. JESSE FEELS RT IF U CREY

Tempy

RT for crey

Jesse is really good, but he's taken a bit of a back seat and i'm not a fan of that.

Plus y'know, he followed Radiohead around Europe, such a lad.

Howdy, Stranger!
