I still don't like that so much of the final episode was motivated by Walt vs the neo-nazis, who appeared late. The scenes with Walt and Skyler were a satisfying conclusion to their relationship, but after everything they went through, after everything Walt put Jesse through, their brief time together, and parting, just didn't do it for me. It was a footnote to the episode when I thought it should be the focus.
And holy Lost homage with the final pull out from above the now-deceased Walt/Jack
I think Walt's gonna be the hero and save everybody.
Do you guys remember that episode of the Simpsons ("Bart's Comet") when Homer halfheartedly predicted that the comet heading towards Springfield would burn up in the atmosphere?
...I'm scared.

Liked the ending, didn't love it. It all wrapped up nicely but couldn't help but feel like it lacked a certain edge that we've all come to love throughout the series.
I'm surprised that I'm not as upset after watching the episode. I mean, it sucks that there won't be a new episode ever again, but the show was as perfect as it gets. The entire series never overstepped its boundaries. Nothing was ever too drawn out just to add an extra couple money grabbing seasons.
When I started watching the series last spring, I couldn't stop. I watched the 4 seasons in about a week. But now I have the resolution I needed.
The last episode of Breaking Bad, where Walt does all the right things.

Finale 7/10
Season 5 part 2 9/10
Show from start to finish 9/10
I agree with you that the felina lacked a certain Breaking Bad edge, but from start to finish 9/10?!?!? I mean.....how high of standards do you have? You must be one hell of a kvetch. Either that, or there are a lot of other shows I need to watch.

Apparently Breaking Bad was no True Blood.

I liked it enough. They kept it pretty focused and didn't over do it.
I wasn't 100% sold on the direction of the last season, or some of the ways they forced the plot forward; but the finale seemed very clean and was satisfying.
On one hand, I would have liked an epilogue scene or two, but given the time frame and the amount ground to cover, they really couldn't do too much. My bigger fear was that they would tackle too many things and they didn't. It's good to leave some things up to the imagination.
