It was Tyrus, Gus and Tio. Of course they're all dead. No question. Tyrus was a throwaway character anyway, no reason to bring him back if Gus is no longer around. Only Mike possibly has a reason for returning, his character has been developed fully over two seasons and he has developed a relationship with Walt and especially Jesse that needs to be continued.

Walt, you fucking beautiful bastard. It wasn't Heisenberg afterall.

Great episode, but the Gus shot was thisclose to a jump-the-shark moment. Good god, who the fuck thought that was a good idea. The scene was awesome, but that was just a stupid cgi shot.
Still, great finale great season. I think S3 was better though. I can't even guess where the show goes now

That did feel like quite a goofy death. I had to rewind it two times to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. It wasn't that satisfying not like how it was in The Shield's ending where the strike force guys all get screwed over in different ways.
It kind of bugs me how easily the situations fall into place so conveniently. How would Walt expect Gus to keep watch over the old man especially when its outside of his retirement home? What was the reason for Gus even doing this in the first place?

That terminator shot of Gus was the goofiest shit ever. It totally took me out of the scene, marring an otherwise brilliant moment and finale. Putting that in was such a stupid decision.

Hector did kill his best friend in the whole world. Gus wanted to torture Hector, especially considering he knew that he was helpless. He had his man check everything and the guy just failed utterly. It was hubris that killed Gus and that's what's going to kill Walt in the end as well.
I'm sure there are going to be repercussions from the Cartel and any remaining Gus loyalists. Not sure where Mike falls.

Did the script for the season ending leak out weeks in advance? About two weeks ago when people were making predictions someone predicted Gus and Tyus would die. Hmmm.
Overall I liked it but that half gone head, dead walk was so damn cheesy. Hell, this and the last episode were exceptionally cheesy and the conclusion takes away from that amazing episode where Walt went nuts as its now clear he orchestrated everything and it was all for show.

I knew Walt poisoned Brock when he said to Jesse that Gus is always 10 steps ahead and his plan was "Brilliant". Walt is the one who knocks!
So what was that spoiler pic that was floating around?

Yeah and the weirdness of the moment was keeping with the tradition of weird moments on the show. Head on a turtle, pizza on a roof, plane crash, cousin crawling across the flor without any limbs, etc.
It's a gamble when you try to put a memorable image on-screen.

i dunno i think gus's reaction to realizing tito had a bomb was plenty enough
i feel like the writers thought gus was too "bad ass" to die like a normal person so they had him go out like the cartoon character he was
the whole slow motion walk into the nursing home was ridiculous as well

It's a TV show, and it makes his character interesting and easy to root for in a cathartic sort of way that doesn't fit within the mold of society, but rather a more primal set of fight-or-flight, dog eat dog impulses. We celebrate all sorts of things like this if you're really willing to nitpick this kind of shit.Amir0x said:

Just finished... And god damn what a finale.
Damn you Walt you Son of a gun. I kind of wish I didn't read those Walt poisoned theories, would of made the revelation a lot more shocking without me thinking about it in the back of my mind along with all the other theories I had baking in my head lol.
Gus's last scream was idk chilling. His death was disturbing and the last shot of him was border on cheesy, and nasty. Still was crazy.
what a fantastic show, now to watch some How to make it in America to offset the tension lol.

Totally with you. This shot has diminished the show for me greatly. I'm really surprised no one involved could look at that and see how stylistically comical and clashing it was with the entire series. This whole episode was fine for me, except that extra, final Gus shot. Comic book-levels of silly, and gratuitous, when all you needed was a slow pan of the bombed-out room from the hallway, showing bodies on the ground.

Wow, the neighbor lady that Walt sought to sacrifice in order to protect himself was Vince Gilligan's mom!

I thought the reveal was that he was a robot from all the descriptions of the spoiler pic beforehand of how ridiculous it was.
Well I was wrong about everything, but still a damn good finale. Still disappointed though that from the sounds of that Sepinwall interview, we will never know how Walt actually managed to poison Brock, but I guess its insignificant in the long run.
That was amazing. For what some may have considered a mediocre season I sure did find it amazing and fascinating and awesome.
Walt is going to go down so bad, but it's going to be so unsatisfying because either he'll die or be dead soon after.
The ploy to get Jesse back on his side was predicted here by many, and I figured it'd go that way, but it was damn fucking evil how he did it. And super manipulative. They will not be able to have Jesse go against him until the end of the show (when Jesse puts together that Walt poisoned Brock, as I'm sure Saul will blurt it out some day, "Weird how Walt asked me to swipe that ricin from you.")

?
didn't know rolllin' on Ecstasy was in the same morally corrupt level of poisoning innocent children and putting poor old ladies in harm way to protect my ass (protip: taking drugs is not immoral at all, in fact)
I always take responsibility for my actions. I expect no one to go down for what I do but myself.
