The buildup just before Walt did it... you knew it was going to happen, you were hoping he wouldn't... it was starting to look like he wouldn't... then bam.

I loved watching Mike take Walt back to that helpless, underachieving weakling in a matter of 20 seconds. Walt almost cowered away like a beaten dog, but in the end he couldn't handle feeling like that again.

Have to avoid this thread until I get back near a TV! So hard! Guess I will have to watch the last two episodes in rapid fashion.

Gomey looked like he was going to rape that lawyer when he busted him at the bank. That was one twisted grin he had on his face.

I'm on record in this thread as putting Breaking Bad up with the greatest shows of all time, and I can't think anything I'd considered a real misstep up until tonight, but the "Say my name!" bit? Terrible. Way, way below this show.

Walt's ego wanted knowledge they've heard of him. I bought it.

Sad to see Mike go. I liked that character.

Does anyone feel like they have put 2-3 seasons worth of storylines in the past 7 episodes? Not saying that's a bad thing, but they sure are moving things along at a rapid rate. I sort of wish they could of expanded the story from this season and shortened the one's in seasons two or three.

Also I assume they found the deposit box Mike left for the granddaughter? That's sort of a downer, since saving money for her was the only reason he stayed in the business this long. I hope Walt steps up and gives her a bit of money, but I doubt it considering his stance against legacy costs.

It was interesting that despite Walt's newly found bravado, the first time he ever tried to directly kill someone in cold blood he regressed right back to that frantic nervous Walt from the first season.

Now unless I'm mistaken - that was the only connection the 9 people had to Walt. Now that tie is severed aren't they essentially 'free and clear' again? Lydia knows their faces but she doesn't know who they are.

Well she obviously knows who they are considering she gave a list of their names to the hitman who tried to kill Mike (and he was supposed to "do them in" after). What I don't understand is why Walt really cares about them, those nine don't know who he is, or what he is up to now. They had knowledge of Gus' operation, but knew nothing of cook's identities.

The problem would be Lydia, no? They know of her, and she'll rat out everyone, including Walt, to save herself.

I don't recall Jesse and Walt being on the list of people Lydia had marked for the hit.

She knows they are the cooks but I think that's about it....

Does anyone else think something is going to happen between Jesse and Skylar? It seems strange that they have gone from zero contact in a few seasons, to meeting each other twice in the last two episodes (in incredibly awkward fashion I might add).
