Breaking Bad coming back

I don't see hank as a douche...at times, a wise-ass (for comic relief?).
IMO, Uncle Jack shoulda treated Hank as "family"...as he promised to do for Pinkman.



Someone else mentioned this, IIRC...see if she goes from purple to black in these last shows.

I get the feeling there are going to be very few folk left standing by the end.


-What was up with that dog crossing the street at the end? That has to mean something.

I was wondering about that too, I wonder if it's meant to signify Walt having crossed some line of no-return, what with what we are expecting to be a new identity (still interested as to why the guy driving the van has remained faceless).

"Marie starts to wear all black right before Hank is killed " (from link below)

re: The Dog crossing the street at the end of the episode

"10. The last shot of the episode features a single stray dog romping across the street as Walt drives off to his new life and identity (presumably in the Granite State.) The lonely, mangy dog reflects how much Walt has lost due to his pursuit for money, power, and respect. In a span of less than two years, Walt has managed to transform himself into Ozymandias, King of Kings, and then fall to become the stray dog."

It almost makes me wonder if the show won't end with their deaths

Ive been wondering that as well. I mean, it seems obvious (and a bit predictable) that Walt and/or Jesse will die at the end. However, to anyone who has been watching the show, we all know they love to take what we think is going to happen and then pull the rug out from under us.

From where Im sitting, the possibilities for the end of this show are still wiiiiide open.
 
I didn't even notice the khakis in that episode. I did draw the similarities between Jesse and Walt to Gus (Gus crying on the ground and Jesse's face). It almost makes me wonder if the show won't end with their deaths, but rather with both of them transforming into the same ruthless villain that Gus was?

Was he a ruthless villain? That's worthy of discussion in itself.

This show pwns.
 
Here's my take on the last two episodes:

Walt still wants Jesse dead and cannot forgive him for initiating the sequence of events that led to Hank being executed, his family being torn apart, and the meth gang stealing all his money. So now he's out for revenge against Todd and the gang as well as Jesse.

Todd tells him that the gang has Jesse cooking for them so he sets up a meeting with the intent to supervise Jesse so they can continue selling to Lydia's connection in Europe. After meeting with the gang, who still hasn't hidden the barrels of money, he goes back out to the Caddy to leave. They all follow him. He tells them he has a peace offering for them and opens the trunk, breaks out the M60 and hoses them all. Then he frees Jesse and they hop in the car and drive off into the desert. After a short drive he comes upon another car, waiting in the desert, which has been driven there by Lydia. Walt stops the car, they get out and they all have a chat about forgiving Jesse and continuing to cook for Lydia's connection in Europe. Walt goes to the trunk and returns with a six pack and a large cheese pizza in a take out box. He lays the beer and the box on the hood of the Cadillac and opens it up, offering the pizza to Lydia and Jesse. But only once slice of pizza has not been laced with the entire vial of risen he's been saving, and Walt takes that one good slice while he watches Jesse and Lydia eat the poison. With so much risen in the pizza they succumb to the poison within minutes. Walt watches them both fall to the ground as the process of their dying quickly begins. He then gets into Lydia's car and drives back to the gangs hideout, loads the money in the van that's still there,
and drives away.

The next scene shows Walt pulling into a roadside motel. He parks the van, gets out and walks to a room, opens the door and goes inside. Skyler, Walt Jr, Holly and Marie are all there. With an evil grin on his face he says, "We did it".

Then the scene quickly cuts to Hal, waking up suddenly in the middle of the night.
He sits up in bed, switches on the bedside lamp, turns to Lois and says, "You won't believe the crazy dream I just had!".

Then the scene quickly cuts to Bob, waking up suddenly in the middle of the night.
He sits up in bed, switches on the bedside lamp, turns to Emily and says, "You won't believe the crazy dream I just had!".
