Breaking Bad Theme. 

Not sure about the one before that.

I have only one complaint. I would have liked a slight more info on how it ended for Jesse. He can't go back to every day life, his fingerprints and other assorted DNA would be at the scene. I can only guess he goes with that bloke and disappears. But, I guess this is left up to us to decide where his life goes.

He can't go with that bloke, Saul's gone. I'm sure you'll find out in the inevitable spin-off.

I know, but he can't go back to regular life can he? If he can, I can only assume it's because the cops are so happy that the white power gang are dead and so is Heisenberg that they decide that those extra fingerprints and DNA they found at the scene aren't worth investigating.

I see the woodwork bit as Jesse's prescient vision into his future. He goes and makes boxes for a living. Really fucking good boxes. Of meth.

So finally he actually killed himself. Nobody got him. Nice.

I was right, Imogen Poots.

How I knew this has me quite stumped?

Done and feeling drained once more, there's a serious argument to be made for GOAT.

I liked the mini call back to the Gus car bomb that didn't work in the kitchen until he kept hammering the button. He pressed the button and moved Jesse out of the way but nothing happened for a while.

Don't think he pressed the button and nothing happened, think he hovered over the button intending to kill himself & Jesse at the same time as the Nazis, then decided to save Jesse when he saw the state of him, in much the same way as Jesse considered shooting Walt then realised he was a deam man anyway and didn't need any more blood on his hands.

As for the box thing, Aaron Paul himself has described it as a daydream rather than a flashback. Even with BB's penchant for dodgy flashback's with cast members looking suspicously older / fatter / troutier than their past selves, getting Aaron Pau to pass for 17 in a flashback would be taking the piss. I saw it as his 'happy place' to escape the meth prison.

I guess because the show is really about Walt.

If Gilligan had been given the 20 episodes he wanted by AMC, maybe there'd have been more time for Jesse, but I guess the main Walt story took precedence.

Also Oli posted that speech from S2 about the box, how he made an ok box in woodwork and his teacher said "is that the best you can do?" So he went away and started practising until he made an amazing one.

It's much like his improvement in cooking Meth, except he's obviously forced to cook by Todd et al, so he turns to that daydream to cope. Neat little symbol/metaphor thing.

No He clearly screams and jumps to the floor with jesse, and then nothing happens for about 10 seconds while all the nazis laugh at wtf is going on.

And the people who didn't understand the box thing, just turn the TV off and go outside, you're hopeless.

Eh, yeah clearly it was a day dream. All I was saying is that it wasn't totally imaginary, there was a box and he was remembering a happier time. I wasn't suggesting that it was a flashback where we're supposed to believe Jesse looked 17...

edit: if the box was originally a metaphor for the meth he was cooking then it doesn't make sense to me why he'd use that to cope, as the validation he got from that would be from the guy that put him there.

Had managed to save the last 3 episodes untill last night as BB deserved a crash night.  Fantastic show, gutted its finished but it had to one day & I more than happy with the ending.  The box bit was one of the best scenes I have ever saw on a TV drama even more so because I instantly remembered his rehab talk.  Excellent scene, excellent show.

Don't know how the audience would be duped by that. I had a feeling it would be a couple of kids, had no doubt it was a bluff. Didn't expect it to be Skinny and Badger though.

You must be smarter than the average bear, because the scene turned quite menacing to me and my normally switched-on-more-than-me Misuss.

Do Sony know something that even VG doesn't?
