Walt dying would be weak. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Giancarlo Esposito, Tryus, Dean Norris and Bob Odenkirk are all great actors.

Him adjusting his tie was an act of denial whilst in shock. This isn't far-fetched.KarmaCow said:

:lol Yeah, just like he took care of Mike at the end of the Mexico trip who nearly gave his life to make sure Gus survived. OH WAIT.
No. Gus "worked hard," sure. But he was running a business. Walt/Jessie/Mike, etc. etc. etc. are just cogs in the machine for him.
I don't think the show is leading towards a Walt vs. Jessie scenario. There is no doubt Jessie has been manipulated, but I don't see anything productive coming from anything else for the remainder of the series.
In a sick way, Jessie has actually become a better person since we were introduced to him. Chalk that up to great acting by Aaron Paul for really embodying that character and displaying the changes Jessie has gone through.

That shot really had to hold up in HD and it did. I looked at it a couple of times and IMO it was just as good if not better than Harvey Dent in TKDR.

It didn't have to be the way Gus made it. Gus living by his strictly professional rule was his choice, and by that he knew what the consequences and potential dangers there would be. He was more confident because he has money, men and resources Walt does not. And even with all of that, he got one thing wrong. This, is not a bell. Cue explosion.Verdre said:

His last scream in horror is so cathartic, forever. All of it rushes in - the connecting of the dots, the terror of death, the knowledge that he was finally got, by his worst enemies. The whole scene is just unimpeachable, how much Gus gloats about what he's going to do. His only flaw, this whole series. Excellent. The writers had to've been racking their brains most of this off season just thinking of how they were going to get The Ultimate, Gus, to believably walk into that room. Nailed it.bangladesh said:

Agreed, Cranston and Paul should be locks. And it should just win everything else as well.ezekial45 said:

I think Esposito has to get it from Paul, only because it's his last year, heh.Gary Whitta said:

I think Jesse will eventually figure out what Walt did, but Walt will lead Hank to Jesse to save his own ass, or at least try to. Hank already has a bad history with Jesse and he's still pissed.

More like that's the point.
We are watching the destruction of a man as he becomes more and more like Tony Montana. He isn't supposed to be likeable.
Now that Gus is gone and so many others. Who outside of Walt's circle, Saul and Mike are left standing. For a slow season, it was a bloodbath.

One major and imo very overlooked thing I wanna point out about this episode is the performance given by Mark Margolis. (Hector/Tio) The expressions of Hector's final moment before he blows himself up was incredible and infinitely moving. His character wasn't exactly someone to root for but even with that considered, you still feel him recalling personal customs and memories from the past. Showing another part of him that is as pure as anyone else's before he swallows it all down and claims his vengeance.

After all these cold blooded murders, I guess you could say that Walter White finally.....
breaking bad.

What's burning me up inside my mind grapes is what Jesse asks Walt.
Did Gus HAVE to die? I mean, he really didn't HAVE to die imo...
Also....the "I won"....man that is INSANE....and proves to be some kind of clue as to what next season might entail...

How would Jesse find out about Jane/Brock? I cannnot imagine any situation in which Walt would confess to those things.

His performance as Tio is so believable I'm not even sure people realize he is acting. I know I forget he's just an actor when he's doing his thing, even with that flashback showing him walking around all normal. It's completely natural, he just blends in.bangladesh said:

Now that I think about it, this actually might be a better fit for the show than what I had in mind. Hank taking down Heisenberg and Jesse being freed from this poisonous man is a fairly just ending. But Hank having an "I caught him on the wire and he doesn't fucking know it" moment and Jesse turning into someone who kills of his own free will? It puts the characters in a much darker final place. I like it.

I prefer to see it as a man growing into his potential. You come to have immense respect for Gus regardless of the fact that he is a ruthless killer. He's a pragmatic businessman who gets things done. He's smart, he's capable, he's decisive, he just happens to not obey the rules. And I gain even more respect for Walt after he topples him not only because of what Gus was, but because they did such an excellent job selling it. You actually buy that Gus would expose himself in the situation he finds himself in to deal with this problem, and it makes Walt that much more brilliant for coaxing him out.Raxus said:
Walt is just so focused and on point in this episode. I don't give a shit about the kid or Tyrus or the nameless henchmen Walt blows away in this episode. Fuck'em. Our little Walt's growing up. Nobody wants to see bitch Walt getting his ass kicked. We want to see Heisenberg. He is the danger.

Haven't read the impressions yet, but I have a feeling GAF hated Two-Face Gus. Probably the most cartoony thing to ever happen in this show.

Rewatching this Gus video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSG07IgmNyA
I had a thought - Gilligan has a thing for clothes on this show, very particular.
You guys notice how Gus is always wearing bright colors when he is being inconspicuous Gus, sometimes even with a streak of dark on them (Purple tie on yellow shirt), where as when he is Drug Dealer Gus, he is always wearing Dark tones? And when he is at home with Walt or Jesse, he's wearing a blander mix of the two (with Walt, it's a brown, Jesse an even darker color)?
Something to reflect on when you rewatch him change out of his Los Pollos clip on tie again and wonder how deliberate that shot is.

Shows how angry he might be when he realizes how manipulated he was.Copernicus said:

It's not even about him being uncertain, it's about him asking his now solidified father figure, Mr. White, what the "right" thing was. That's the final tragedy of Jesse's character this season, because he is most definitely still in the wrong hands.Copernicus said:
