Breaking Bad

My nights feel empty. Might have to start all over again.

Hm, maybe in some respects he was. Basically though, he only had two options: die with his family loving him but deeply in debt or with them hating him but with the cash he worked for. I think he would've picked the latter every time if he died a thousand deaths. Plus, he went out like a champ, killed the neo-Nazis and saved Jesse. With all the talk of Walt getting Karmic payback, I was just envisioning a more eye for an eye ending.

I think what's getting missed here, too, is I'm not saying Skyler and Jr. hating him is not 'bad' for Walt -- it's just in no way commensurate for all the death and suffering he's directly and indirectly responsible for (and really, think what some of you are arguing -- a mass murderer (assuming we assign indirect responsibility of the jetliner crash on Walt) has been punished "enough" because he dies with his family pissed off at him). Anyway, none of that takes away from the show. Still probably my favourite of all time.

Don't forget Lydia....

Very cool.. I had to pester my lady to start watching it with me for years. I had already been watching live and finally got her to start it we this year rewatched the whole thing with her just in time to catch up so we could watch the last two episodes live on tv together.

saw the finale yesterday.. GREAT Show... one of the best I ever saw..... it fits meatless next to Lost (ok..finale sucked) and 6 feet under for the best series I saw so far

Agreed with everything but I'd replace 6 feet under with The Walking Dead. I LOVED Lost.

I just learned Giancarlo Esposito will be a guest at the Vancouver Fan Expo in April. Really stoked.

If Walt quit after the $737,000 he wanted things would of been very different...
Greed & power got the better of him.

I think its not greed and power. All of that is nullified with two scenes:
1) when he tells his wife he did it just for him / self
2) in the last scene before his death. The way he touches the equipment, it shows that there is nothing else that ever excited him so much or he loved doing so much.

So while money is money and they show him run behind it all through, the real reason was in my opinion that he somewhere deep down felt he was born to do it and that nothing else gave him the same purpose as making M ...

I think you've just described the effect power has and the whole motive for everything he got into was money, which got the better of him greed.

He didn't do it for himself, he did it for his family. When he felt the power and seen the money he couldn't stop. He carried on doing it for himself.
Chemistry was his life and his passion. He was a highly overqualified teacher. The Meth lab was a place where he felt he belonged, at home. Hence the hand on the equipment.
Just my interpretation.

 

[Voorhees27]

Yep. Power and greed. That's how I saw it too.

Those of you with the Complete Set, how long is the Jesse Evidence Tape? Does it not recount Jesse and Walt's entire history??

Somehow managed to avoid spoilers and finally got around to seeing the last 8 episodes. Wow. Brilliant show from beginning to end. So many shows suffer in quality of writing/production somewhere along the way, but this show is just excellent. I have the whole series on Blu and am curious to see how the beginning will be knowing what a monster Walt becomes.

Look who stopped in at The Howard Stern Birthday Bash Tonight

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Awesome. Love the set dressing.

 

[hydrobud]

The background curtains over his right shoulder change color . So I'm guessing the Blue is deliberate
