    Want to keep this out of the other thread because at least one person, hasn't seen this series yet.

    Overall, I thought it was a fantastic show. And despite the fact that I wish they didn't kill off Mike and Hank, I thought it worked well with the show but the one death I think they got too carried away with was shooting Jesses girl, Andrea. That was pretty effed up, presumably the little kid Brock will find his dead mother on their doorstep now and will grow up an orphan. There was plenty of bad in that show without adding that in.

    My only other nagging nitpick, is how easy everyone turned on Walt after finding out about him. His family was quick to condemn him, thought that should have been more of a struggle within each character.

    But like the song at the end said, guess he got what he deserved, and he really did. He destroyed a lot of lives and poisoning Brock was the point of no return. Up until then, the people that suffered were criminals, with the exception of Hank and Gomez who suffered indirectly because of Walts actions.

    There really was no other ending that they could have went with then what they did. Its funny how shows can make you feel for a criminal, it was sad to see him go.

    RIP Heisenburgh!

    Pissed me off too but knew as soon as Walt looked in the bag and saw the gun, that he was going to kill him. He was a good character, was usually one step ahead of everyone.

    Walt was pure evil and had pretty much zero redeemable qualities. I think that's what makes him so awesome. Really almost every character on the show is a complete scumbag except for Hank, Walt Jr, and Holly. Well also Steve wasn't a bad guy. I think the harshest moment of the whole show was when Skyler so callously told Walt about her and Ted. I mean that was COLD! I think Pinkman pretty much got a shot at redemption and I think the wooden box from high school shop class represents that. It has been a while since I watched it but man I love that show. I pretty much only like Hannibal and Mad Men better than it when it comes to tv dramas.

    Walt ended up a cold blooded killer. They did a really good job of showing him progress to the guy he ended up being. Remember when he had so much trouble killing the first guy in the basement. And he only ended up killing that guy because he tried to kill him, Walt was going to let him go.

    I don't know whats going to happen to Jesse. Youd like to think he finds Brock and raises him but hes likely a fugitive now. I know Hank was operating on his own but youd think Marie would have told the police about Jesse. Maybe they will tie his future up in a later episode of Better Call Saul.

    Skylar pissed me off most of the whole series, Marie too :lolol:

    That was an epic tv show. WW's transformation from mild mannered chemistry teacher to a ruthless drug dealer was very well done. One of his moments that stuck with me was him watching the girl choke to death on her own vomit while Jesse slept next to her

    Yeah, and then telling Jesse he did as Jesse is taken away by the group that just killed Hank.

    Thought that scene was a great representation of Walt becoming like Gus. Gus did the same thing to Salamaca, the mute cartel guy.

    That's what I was gonna say is how cold it was when he told him knowing Jesse couldn't do anything to him.
