The frustrating thing is that he was so close to getting away with it if not for leaving murder investigation evidence in his bathroom for his DEA brother-in-law to find. (I still hate that plot element, but I digress...).
I think he would say it was worth it.
The book was a lame and lazy plot line. That episode up to the point where Hank took a dump in their bathroom was the realization of Walter's dream; the fantasy fulfilled. Perhaps if Walter had made the chicken less spicy, he could've stay hidden forever. But Walter's downfall had to happen one way or the other.
If I put on my writer's hat, I would let Walter's family have some of the money. But Walter will have to leave the family because of threats from the cartel or nazi gang. And Walter will live out the remain of his days cooking for the bad guys away from his family.

I didn't think the book was a lazy plot point. I bought it hook line and sinker. Why? Because I'm the kinda idiot who would forget something like that.
Despite being caught with porn in the search history a dozen or more times over the years ( between my parents and then eventually my wife), I still haven't learned my lesson. This is but one example.
Okay, I watched a few more episodes and read the wiki. Now I see how it's like a Western and meth is Walt's way of expressing his badass.
I'm going to be bad and skip to Season 5 and probably then go back through it.
Thanks for all your helpful info!
NOOOOO!
I didn't watch the show until 3 weeks before the finale. I binge watched it for 2 weeks to get caught up, to the envy of all the people I know who had to drag it out over 5 years. I was getting to experience all these amazing twists every night, and it was fresh and new to me. If you haven't seen season 3 and 4 yet, you are making a huge mistake. IMO they were the best seasons.

I binge watched it over the last two months including watching it on netflix while I was vacationing. But I think people who started in 2008 will appreciate it more as they grew together with the characters throughout the 5 year period.
Dude when it comes to the Canucks, it could be a team of Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Augusto Pinochet, Josef Stalin and Kim Jong Il and if one of them scores against the Canucks you take it.

Pretty much. I have a very silly sense of pride and attachment to the show cuz I watched it from episode 1 on tv. Like knowing about a great pub before it becomes trendy and hipsters fill it up.

This series is some of the best TV ever, in my opinion. Once you get rolling you'll probably find yourself binge watching. Watching them in order will be much more satisfying, trust me .
I binge watched it in less than 2 months but if I were to do it again, I wished I could've started in 2008. I found I wanted to find out what happened next that I failed to take in the subtlties of the shows watching it this way.

No, that's just cover to talk about himself some more.
What a hack.

I agreed to write this piece because I am deeply and unhealthily obsessed with finding ways to revisit the Lost finale and the maddening hurricane of #### that has followed it.
And this morning? I am Walter White. Arrogant. Conceited. Selfish. Entitled. Looking for ways to blame everything and everyone but myself, even though it is perfectly clear the situation I find myself in is of my own making. And here's the worst part: I'm still naive enough to believe I can attain some level of redemption.

I stand by the Lost finale. It's the story that we wanted to tell, and we told it. No excuses. No apologies. I look back on it as fondly as I look back on the process of writing the whole show. And while I'll always care what you think, I can't be a slave to it anymore. Here's why:
I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really … I was alive.

I watched every episode of Lost through all those years and I can say without reservation the ending is crap.
BB's finale isn't without it's problem like I don't care if the nazi guys live or die at the end. But weeks after watching it I still can't get rid of the image of Walter leaving his prints in blood on the stainless still cooking apparatus, signifying a man once lived inside them. Cooking defines him, in doing so he found his meaning to life which very few of us will ever do. And then he rolls over and die which is just perfect.
I watched the Lost finale once and soon just turned off the TV. The meaning of it never crossed my mind because the writers treated the whole final season as a joke. That's how crap it is comparing to the BB finale.
That's pretty cool. It makes me wonder how many other great actors are stuck doing bit rolls or shows like "Malcom in the Middle" that are actually great actors. Don't get me wrong, Malcom in the Middle was a good gig, but it it certainly wasn't going to win him any awards (although he was the funniest one in the whole show).
