Breaking Bad - The Final 8 (Spoilers in Tags)

[Kenny]

There are only two live streams on, one is out of sync and the other buffers too much.

AAARRRGH...i'll try and watch it anyway. But if it's unwatchable, i'll just wait for the recorded stream to come up.

[Yama]

Damn... Incredible ending, perfect. I'll let everyone else watch before discussing, but dayumn.

[Bluecast]

Bittersweet. Enjoyed it. Now I need Mad-Men and TWD back as have nothing on Sunday nights now.

[Kenny]

It was good, had a couple of really cool moments. The beginning and that one part in the end were the best parts of it all.

Didn't end as epic as I thought it would. It's just appropriate.

[Thief]

Watched it. Liked it.

One scene in particular made me very sad.

When Walt watches Walt Jr. walk home from the bus stop.

[Riku Rose]

Thought the ending was good. To many shows try to make it to big or epic and just fall flat like Lost where it kind of took away from the series as a whole. I find more shows fuck up an ending rather then pull it off and I scared this would be the same. Doubt it will be an ending people talk about for years but I'm more then happy with it.

[mrslig100]

Perfect.
Everything was perfect...
I don't know what more to say...

[Henry Spencer]

After seeing how it ended, I can now easily say this is one of my all time favourite TV shows of all time. The ending was just right. Everything from the beginning of the show, to middle of the show, to the end was just amazing. Loved it. Wonder what the team will make next?

[Sailors?]

It's a shame there's not much to discuss, since it ended so bloomin perfectly.

[Henry Spencer]

Well...

What do people think Jesse does next? Look after Brock? Go nuts and kill himself?

[Sailors?]

There's only two stories in Breaking Bad that I had hoped they would explore more but since the shows so damn good anyways I'm not too bothered. First is a nice backstory behind Gus Fring, how he got to the position he was at etc but it's not all that important. Second is the true reason for Walt leaving Gretchen and selling his share for a measly amount, I guess that just boils down to another bad life choice.

But on the subject of Jesse I guess he'll start doing someone useful with his life, he was fantasizing about his woodwork shop whilst he was enslaved so maybe he'll follow that route? Whatever he does his head is royally fucked up so he may just start using again, glad he survived the show though.

[Henry Spencer]

The first one of your questions I think got explored enough.

I prefer that Gus remains mysterious anyway.

It's not like Gus is the only one who remains a mystery either: Todd, Mike, Lydia, Tuco, Uncle Jack and a whole bunch of other shady characters we never really got to know either, but I prefer that.

As for the second point, meh, don't really care too much about that. It's good that the show lets you make up your own mind about what happened.

[Sailors?]

Yeah there are characters that weren't explored and didn't need to be. But when a show makes a point that someone has an interesting backstory you think they'd explore it further. Don Eladio said, "The only reason he is dead and you're still alive is because I know you you are." Or something to that effect. It's not that important to me, but it would of been nice to be explored.

As for my second point the annoyance is that it's not really a small point. I mean, why would Walter White become a low paid high school teacher with a second job at a car wash? Even after leaving Gray Matter (for an unknown reason) why would he not work in a University or be doing his own research?

Of course there wouldn't even be a show if that was the case but when a story brings up issues like that but doesn't explain them it usually means they haven't been very well thought through.

All this being said Breaking Bad is one of my favourite shows and I absolutely love it.

[Yama]

Bad breaks? I'm serious, it happens. He could have also wanted to escape that entire scene. I agree being a H.S. teacher seems off, but crazier things do happen in the real world so it's not too far fetched for a show as such.

I agree with you guys though, it ended so perfect there isn't much to talk about. I did go back and watch a few older episodes and realized just how much I love Tuco though, lol. Such an awesome character.

[Sailors?]

^ Tuco was brilliant!

I was actually watching the series from the beginning again whilst watching the new episodes and there are some beautifully memorable scenes that gives me chills every time I watch them.

This scene for me, the music, the acting, everything is perfect.
