Skyler went from acting like Walt's prisoner who wanted him to die to protecting him. Many major events happened without any logistics explained - how exactly did Uncle Jack organize the prison murders and why did Lydia decide to collaborate with someone as unprofessional as Jack Welker's gang?
Hank almost caught Walt on several occasions before finally picking up that fateful copy of Leaves of Grass and thus getting the final piece of the puzzle. Dean Norris delivered one of the best performances in the history of television in the final season of Breaking Bad , so much so that one could argue Hank Schrader is the main character of the show rather than Walt.
Cranston and Norris's nuanced performances were definitely among the highlights of the season. As soon as season 5 started, Walt's transformation was suddenly done. He has become a shameless, self-gratifying drug lord who wouldn't quit the business even though he had a chance to exit in the best way possible. He stayed the same for the remainder of the story and he was so annoying that Breaking Bad got really hard to watch at times.
A great indicator of this over-the-top characterization is the scene in which Walt says "We're done when I say we're done" and "Say my name. After all, it enjoys a rating of It seemed as if all the events in the show finally culminated in a single episode: Jesse found out the truth about Jane, Hank finished his pursuit of Heisenberg, and Skyler finally stops acting like an absent-minded ghost.
Pure perfection. Aside from "Granite State" and "Felina", Aaron Paul's character didn't really get a chance to shine in the final season of Breaking Bad , which is a real shame since the show spent so much time building the father-and-son relationship forming between Jesse and Mr.
Jesse didn't want anything to do with Walt after seeing him collaborate with Todd who was perfectly okay with murdering children. Even though he avoided him, he could have gotten more screen time. After all, he is just as important to the plot as Walt. Breaking Bad is a show that is great at foreshadowing , planting easter eggs, and revisiting recurring themes.
Lydia pours the Stevia into her tea, and it ominously dissolves. Jesse stares at his former mentor with hatred, but Walt is devastated at the state Jesse is in. Walt lunges at his ex-partner, pushing him to the ground. Walt then presses his key fob, which activates the M60 that was rigged in his trunk.
A shower of bullets kills most of the Nazis, save for Todd and Jack. Walt takes a bullet himself, too. Jesse does the honors on Todd, strangling him with his chains as Walt watches.
Jack lies in the corner, still alive. Walt shoots Jack. Then, Walt slides the gun over to Jesse. Say you want this. Walt picks up, and explains that he killed everyone, and poisoned her with Ricin in her Stevia.
Before Jesse drives away to his freedom, he stares at Walt one last time. His Mr. White has turned completely black. Gilligan, in my mind, made a brave choice. Gilligan gave all his characters a fitting send-off in this episode. Considering the last few episodes, it could have gone a much darker route. The characters all got their just deserts. The White family has the money.
Skyler and Marie made up. The Nazis and Lydia are dead. Jesse is freed, saved by his mentor. The anti-hero is dead too, but not before making everything as right as he could, in his last acts of penitence for his sins. Breaking Bad ended with everyone as happy as possible.

The episode "Ozymandias" is probably the best hour of television I have ever watched. I thought this show wouldn't get better than season 3 or 4 but it somehow even surpassed them. Overall, this is now my favorite tv show. Ryan H. Oct 31, En esta temporada se logra algo casi imposible, tener un final extremadamente superior a la expectativa del fan.
Daniel B. Oct 15, The best TV show ever streamed, there are shows and there is Breaking Bad, how it builds from the begining and getting intense all along til the finale, the characters writing and acting, no effects or fiction needed just reality that surpass all, it's a journey that will break your heart just for finishing. Bader A. Sep 21, Des M. Aug 27, The final period for the greatest drug lord in the history of the television is beyond of the simplicity of the viewers, it's art.
Pancho G. Aug 20, I'm just going to talk about the ending in particular, but this goes down as easily one of if not the greatest season of television. It's bombastic it has many many great character moments and is as high quality as they come. When it comes to the ending my only issue would be one that doesn't have to do with writing. The scene where the machine gun shoots up the building. I can't fathom how Walt could have possibly got hit.
Also, a lot of the final episode can feel a bit like a checklist, you know too polished, but every element of it has a proper setup, from Walt poisoning Lydia with the ricin, something that has been part of the series since early Season 2, to him getting Elliot and Gretchen to give Walt Jr the money, an idea he inferably got the inspiration for from Mike.
The scene where Jesse points the gun at Walt only to realize that Walt has already been shot, this is subtext at its finest. In the end, Walter ends up dying peacefully, and we know that what he originally set out to do, provide for his family, he accomplished with flying colors. A lot is left to your own inference, but unlike some shows, it makes what is supposed to be inferred crystal clear, there is no way you could possibly misinterpret the ending it's just perfection. This series is just completely unforgettable, and with the conclusion of Game of Thrones being what it is, this is probably the greatest series ever created.
