RIP Heisenberg

Very happy with the ending for Breaking Bad. I watched the first season but then it got too heavy so I took a break. Then one day they were running a marathon of seasons 2 and 3 and I caught a few episodes and I was hooked again. This was definitely one of the most well written TV series ever. And one of the best endings. Six Feet Under still ranks as my favorite series finale. You got to say goodbye to all the characters. You knew what happened to them in the future and you knew they were going to be okay. When Michael C. Hall showed up on Dexter  a few months later, I was so relieved. I was like awww. David's back. Yay. Breaking Bad did not disappoint either. This last season was about closure. I have to admit I had a little bit of schadenfreude  concerning Jesse Pinkman. If you think back to the early seasons, by the time we meet Jesse, his parents have pretty much given up hope for him because he just wouldn't straighten up and fly right. At the end when Jesse is full of regrets, I couldn't help thinking, you should have listened to your mother!

Felina/Finale was a great episode. I really thought Walt was going to open a can of whoop ass on Gretchen and Elliot Schwartz for screwing him out of Gray Matter. Even though we're never really told what transpired between Gretchen and Walt. They were away on a weekend with her family when suddenly Walt packed and took off. Perhaps there was shrinkage. Having Gretchen and Elliot be the money mules was a stroke of genius. And a little fear of execution will make sure they stick to the plan and keep them honest long after Walt is gone. If they only knew that it was just Badger and Skinny Pete with laser pointers. LOL!  Loose ends were tied up. Everything was resolved in a very satisfying manner. Walt finally admitted to himself and to Skyler what we all already knew. "I did it for me, I liked it. I was good at it, and I was really... I was alive."  It was a wild ride. Rest in Peace Mr. White.
