Breaking Bad series finale *spoiler* thread

In reply to mndsm:

That's the only question I have, WTF happens to Jesse? Cuts a deal with the cops between explaining what all went down there and pity for his torture and enslavement? He doesn't have any money to buy himself out of it.

He goes and makes wooden boxes in Connecticut? Who knows. Honestly, I don't really care. Jesse's tortured emo turn this season caused me to want him out of the show. Personally, I was the saddest to see Todd die. I really like that character. Cold, heartless, dumb as a box of rocks.... something about him.

maybe Jesse will get a spinoff series

nope :)... I smiled and called out "240" the moment I saw them

Nyah, nyahhh, I beat you both: I saw the backwards "VOLVO" on the corner of the driver's side window glass when Walt rubbed the snow away to see if it was locked. I knew he was in New Hampshire so I knew it would be a 240 at that moment. The only question was whether it was a sedan or a wagon...

Remember, the DEA knew nothing about what Hank was doing with Jesse, so Jesse can do whatever the hell he wants.

...maybe. I'm curious as to what happens in that event after the show ends. Lotsa cops, Skyler knows where Hank's body is- and the Nazis had Jesse's tapes.

I thought I saw a trailer for a Fast and Furious type film starring Jesse. I could not tell if it was a movie or a serial for television.

I also noticed the Volvo 240.

In reply to mndsm:

That's my point, they're going to find those tapes and want to track down the last man standing from the whole operation. Unless they were in a neat pile next to gas can and some candles at Cadillac trunk mounted M60 height.

Need for Speed, the movie.

I would not guess Jesse is off scott free. His fingerprints are all over the Nazi meth lab.

Walt shot Uncle Jack. Dropped the gun and kicked it over to Jesse. Jesse picked up the gun to shoot Walt and his fingerprints are now on the Welker smoker.

I could only take 5 minutes of Aaron Paul on Talking Bad. Jimmy Kimmel is funny, but he is not that funny.

I liked the ending, but the biggest "Really?" moment for me was the Nazi crew just letting WW roll right into camp in his car and not bothering to check the trunk or underneath the thing. Not to mention failing to notice that where he parked was a little weird.

Isn't it kinda common knowledge at this point that he bombed the nursing home to kill Fring?

Ah well, then we wouldn't have seen the sweet, sweet payoff of machine gun justice.

Not to mention that lab he blew up way early in the series. But then again- he hired the Nazis to do all his dirty work- they probably weren't counting on him having an m60 at all.

IMO, the whole M60 thing was a bit contrived. A whole lot of things had to go exactly right in order for that to work out like it did. They had to not check the trunk. He had to be able to get to the key fob. All the nazis had to be together in one place. The car had to be parked exactly in the right spot.

I REALLY liked the Lydia phone call. She was the only female cast member I hoped would get killed off in the finale.

I just couldn't forgive her, since she was partly responsible for Mike's death. I hated how they wrote him off.

Mike was the most legit character on the whole show. He shoulda been there to help Walt at the very end.

I loved how Walt had the two stoners with laser pointers scare the E36 M3 out of his old business partner and his wife. 'One day, you'll hear a shoe scrape behind you...'

And Saul is the only one with a spin off show.

Saul is the most logical- he can tell the most stories, just with having different clients. Jesse's a burnout... not much to tell about a pot head.

question from one of the recent episodes: can you fit a 55 gallon barrel in the back of a Chrysler 300?

I also don't believe the trunk gun would have worked like that. As soon as the bullets started flying wouldn't the Nazi guys all hit the floor and some would have survived?

As soon as I saw the door panel and lock knob when he brushed the snow off I knew what it was.

So glad I can finally read this thread now that I watched it.

I just finished watching it as well. I had to put myself in an isolation chamber all day. I found it a little anti climatic as well.

It has to be the hardest to just come up with the ending. every episode prior to this has a 'what will happen next?' vibe you get hooked on. The last one by definition, just can't do it.

In reply to bikerbenz:

pretty sure the fire rate on the M60 is up to 550 rounds per minute, so about 9 rounds per second. they didn't have much time.

They put it in the back seat, not the trunk.

Another good part: the head Nazi offers Walt's money back and Walt's answer is to put a slug in him. Fitting.

Also, I really don't know how anybody can rag on an ending that involved Tarantino grade nazi slaughter.
