Great finale. Even though I saw the ending coming, I still enjoyed it, and I'm happy there are no loose ends to spend the next year thinking about...
I don't think Walt is done with meth at all. His ego has grown way too large at this point to go back to his humble life as a nobody who get's pushed around. He didn't say "I survived" or "I made it" or "we're okay". He said "I won". And he was extremely pleased with himself depsite having blown three people up and shot someone in the face just a few hours previous.
I think next season will be Walt and Jesse will try and trying to get Mike on board with them. They have the resources between the two of them (and maybe Saul as well) to start a new mega-lab, but they still need someone who knows the distribution side of the business.
I think we'll see Walt completely go over to the dark side between fighting Gus' old henchmen that hate his guts, possibly trying to coerce Mike into working for him and Jesse finding out about the posioning plus the many other obstaceles that the writers will throw in his way. Then I think the series will end with him having to decide whether to kill Hank or go to jail.
