I'm not sure how they will finish everything off in season 5. Seems like they have a lot to start up just to get the plot moving again because of the way season 4 ended, just to end the series at the end of the season.

Spoiler!

I mean, the Chicken Man is gone, the cartel is gone, where's the next angle for the drugs? I could actually see Walt getting cocky (as he does like to be in charge) and using the car wash much like the laundry was used for a cover for meth production, but that would take a few episodes to set up.

The loose ends seem to be

Spoiler!

Beneke's death which could cause an investigation into the family, the German super conglomerate that owned a lot of the businesses tied to the lab (are they connnected? I would assume so, at least that would be a way to advance the plot) Mike is still in Mexico as far was we know, whats going to happen when he comes back and finds Gus dead and the business in shambles? Will he be mad at Walt, or will he work for him instead. I actually believe the later as he seems to be a pragmatic man looking for a paycheque, but for tensions sake it could go the other way.

And of course they have to figure out a way to kill Walt. Of course, no one knows if he will die for sure, but the laws of literature pretty much deem that he has to.

But, I could see it being one of those series that because of it's popularity, is extended for one more season past the first projected end date. And that, in my opinion, would make it easier to finish off, cause I don't know how they restart after the big ending last season, only to finish it off 12 episodes later. Would not be surprised to see a season 6.

I believe this season will actually be 16 episodes.
