I agree that most of this episode was filler but I think it did a good job showing that Walt had lost it all. Even when he threatened Saul he couldn’t finish. I thought that was a pretty powerful scene.
He’s dying, he lost his, money, his family and he lost his power. Then the last scene showed him giving up and Heisenberg taking over.
While I agree that episode 14 would’ve been a great finale if they tied everything off, whose to say what next week has in store? Episode 14 was incredible and took care of a lot of business in that hour. Could very well happen again. Jessie, the Nazis and Lydia could conceivably be tied off during the same event and Walt’s family doesn’t need much for a resolution, they know the truth, what else is there really to do? I don’t see that being anymore of a challenge then killing Hank, exposing Walt and having his family turn on him in one episode and we saw how amazing that turned out. Probably one of the best hours in TV history.
Like I said, it’s going to be tough to end this with everything wrapped up but if any show can do it, it’s this one.
