Re: No love for Breaking Bad?

The ending was good just a little too "neat" for me. The last two episodes were just wrapping up loose threads really. The real finale was Ozymandias for me. If they couldve wrapped up Jesses story in another way and had E14 be the ending...that wouldve been the way to go

"Neat', as in where uncle jack and Todd were the ones to magically survive the onslaught of bullets, while the rest died instantly?

Funny thing about Todd too, is that he cared more about walter's turret (the thought of what went into the contraption) than the well being of his family members. Characters thinking process is a enigma to me.

You just can't please everybody. Gilligan wrapped this up nicely with no stone left unturned which personally is the end I wanted.

I just loved how Walt got the chance to be so unforgiving with Jack as he was with Hank.

The whole 'family' scene was so heartbreaking! I was welling up watching Walt stroke Holly and then watching Walt Jnr return home from school.

The ending was just perfect! The acknowledgement between Walt and Jesse was touching! I am glad they got a chance to draw a line in the sand and go out on decent terms. If Walt was going to die anywhere, it just had to be amongst what got him in this mess in the first place. He was happy though and seemed to pass on in peace

That shot of the little redheaded meth child as Jesse walks away is the most depressing thing ever.

To me, the ending was good. Just good. It did feel a little "neat", as if the writers were trying to go through a checklist of things to accomplish before the episode ended.

 

[highlander1]

So guess what happened to the R.V

 

[highlander1]

The only thing more i would've love to see at the end was Saul working at a cinnabun after the credits rolled ,other then that perfect ending.

If there had been one thing not accomplished on that checklist the world would have gone mad over it.

In this case, neat was perfect.

I think 50/50 in this case...some wouldve rather saw a less redemptive ending and the other half of viewers like it as is. I wouldve preferred a more ambiguous end.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I think people are so used to being disappointed in finale's for one thing or another that when one gets it 'perfect' and wraps everything up the way everyone wanted, if not expected... well they still ***** about it. lol

Compared to that Sopranos ending, this is probably the best ending ever.

I get what they were trying to do....I just don't think you really need to **** with people with an ending to a long running TV show.

Re: No love for Breaking Bad?

This show is all about the progression of character rather than a dumb shock ending.

I think most of us had it figured pretty early on that Walt would die by the end somehow.

Exactly. The show earned a solid ending. Making it ambiguous and artsy would've went against everything that came before it.

I never said a shock ending, just a less tidy and redemptive ending to appeal to a wider audience. .something the show has never done , till the finale.

A show that condemns a man to a death sentence in the first episode had to end with his death. The fact that he died happy and at peace with himself was a great way for him to go. The cancer hadn't beat him just yet and he wasn't shot down by the police etc. He went out the way he wanted.

 

[CelticPredator]

But why does it need it? It's the end of a TV series, not the end of a movie. People have spent years watching this, and all they get in return is some vague ending they have to really think deeply about? No thanks. Bad, bad, bad idea.

And also, none of the season finales had any sense of ambiguity. Every season wrapped up in it's most logical conclusion. Season 2 ended with the plane crash, season 3 ended with Jesse killing Gale, Season 4 ended with Walt winning and killing Gus, while also showing he poisoned Brock, and Season 5 ended with Walt dying alone, Jesse being finally free, the bad guys dying, and Walt Jr eventually getting the money.

If i had one minor complaint, and it's not even that because the way it played out was fine with me, but I would have shown less of the M60 device ahead of time. Don't show the M60 in the same scene wheres hes building it and dont fully give away what it does. Make it seem like it was for something else and it would have made the last scene feel more desperate. If I was thinking the whole time, even if he gets the keys he still needs to make it back to the car and get the m-60 and than somehow fire it at them all and theres like no chance for that, and it just popped up as a surprise, it would have been that much better

Exactly and I also think both flash forwards could've been taken out..as they ruined some suspence that they could've used to build up the last few episodes.
