This story is tragic, it should end tragic, Walt broken, batterd and ultimately destroyed.

Pretty sure this 21st century television show set in New Mexico doesn't have to conform to Shakespearean genre structures if Vince Gilligan doesn't want it to.

Plus this work is at such a scale it doesn't really need to deal in having a "moral" at the end. It'd be kind of contrary to the whole project if what Vince Gilligan intended for people to take away from it was "being a murderous meth kingpin is bad"--fucking obviously it is.

 

[BobTheFork]

Just end it like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Walt - Angel eyes
Jesse -Tuco
Hank - Blondie

 

[Bigfoot]

So Skyler is gonna die then.

We can only hope

Although Walt would never kill Skyler but I could maybe see Skyler trying to kill Walt. The hate is strong in her.

 

[kehs]

BB doesn't go for the typical Hollywood ending though. I could easily see Walt getting away with it all. Him getting killed is too easy anyways... he is going to die from the cancer soon. .

He's gonna get hit by a methed up guy in a pickup just as he thinks he's gotten away from everything.

 

[Aiii]

Typical hollywood ending would be everyone wins. Walt redeems himself and dies knowing his family is happy and wealthy. Jesse sorts out his life and marries his girl. Hank gets a medal for ending the blue meth by busting the distribution cartel. Walt Jr goes off to college in his musclecar. Marie gets her dream house and a kid of her own and Skyler runs a chain of car washes as a respected business woman.

 

[homelessbaby]

"Say My Name" definitely had a Coen brothers vibe when Walt killed Mike. I can see similar Fargo type shenanigans with his family. I'm torn, though: with the writers knowing how much everyone hates Skylar, can they really in good conscience kill her?

Unless it's in the most awful way where we have to feel bad. An "are you not entertained" moment, like Sopranos with the violence everyone craved.

 

[Cindres]

Walt's about to pull his life together, he's at a restaurant and his family are arriving 1 by 1. Then everything cuts to black.

Just end it like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Walt - Angel eyes
Jesse -Tuco
Hank - Blondie

you know Gilligan would love to do this

 

[inm8num2]

WILL AUGUST 11 ARRIVE ALREADY?

 

[Zoso Achilles]

We all know how Breaking Bad will end. Walt will be put into witness protection with a nice suburban family and given the new name Hal.

Begin: Malcom in the Middle

 

[Frost_Ace]

I swear I dreamt this.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I think everyone will be dead or in jail and Walt will be untouched. A little irony from where the show began.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I'm curious as to when people started rooting against Walt. Jane? Brock? His being in asshole mode all of last season? I get the impression that most of BB-GAF is anti-Walt now.

Jane. It was a clear lines crossing for me, and I lost interest in the show for a few eps. I was marathoning so just a few days in real time.

I still rooted for him against Gus, who was worse, but I had more respect for Gus.

Also, please folks mark Shield spoilers, I am thinking of watching that next.

I think watching this will actually bee how I pass the next 2 weeks. Haven't seen it yet.

 

[stn]

I got huge parts of The Shield spoiled for me and I still really liked it. Its a very good show that's just one steady ride.

 

[amnesiac]

Just end it like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Walt - Angel eyes
Jesse -Tuco
Hank - Blondie

Edit: Actually a shootout would be a pretty disappointing ending. Too cliche.

 

[Dany]

Oh god. I just realized that I might be missing episodes because of work. ((

Netflix should be up the next day.

Almost into single digits!

 

[joedrum]

Season five part one will be up on Netflix mañana!

What really? Is this a special deal I missed?

 

[Cornballer]

What really? Is this a special deal I missed?

It's up the next day in the UK. I don't think new episodes from S5.2 will be up in the US for a while unless there's something I'm overlooking.

Gotcha. Cool for UK people! Better when people in as many countries as possible can watch around the same time.

There's probably also some related confusion because the first part of Season 5 from last Summer will be up on US Netflix tomorrow.

I'm glad the new episodes will be up quickly over in the UK.

Yeah, I'm definitely blowing through some s5A episodes starting tomorrow.

Mike's Half Measures Speech is the stuff of legend. You can see Walt building massive amounts of EXP in real time. Part of the show's genius is how he's constantly absorbing information, processing it, applying it, making mistakes then learning from them. It's why Walt's transformation is so believable, you can map out each and every point in his criminal education.

Bryan Cranston was in power rangers.

Yeah and the Blue Power Rangers last name is Cranston.

Apparently, this is it.

Skyler vs the Power Rangers wouldn't be much different from this.

Panels from the Lincoln Center event tonight:

- Panel #1 (youtube)

Anna Gunn and RJ Mitte who play Walter White's wife Skyler and son Walt Jr. with Bob Odenkirk, who plays the morally uncentered criminal lawyer Saul Goodman, will show two of their favorite episodes followed by a Q&A moderated by Matt Zoller Seitz/New York Magazine.

- Panel 2 (youtube)

Bryan Cranston, who plays central character Walter White, will show two of his favorite episodes followed by a Q&A moderated by Matt Zoller Seitz/New York Magazine.

Cranston chose to screen "Phoenix" and "Fly" for his two episodes. The second youtube link isn't working yet, but it should be up later tonight.



Also, Cranston is going to be on Nightline tonight. Here's a few quotes from his appearance.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Netflix should have season 5 up soon. They changed the box art to the season 5 poster.

 

[RoninChaos]

Gonna watch the end of 5.1 tomorrow. Excited.

 

[Stat Flow]

"Maybe he flew too close to the sun..."

"Got his throat cut."

That ending...was unbelievable.

 

[Cornballer]

Just finished up most of the new thread prep. That'll go up on Monday. I'm going to be mostly offline the next couple of days, so please keep posting news if you see it.

Cool. I still have to rewatch the last three episodes from last year.

We're almost there!

 

[kehs]

Imagine cornballer was playing the long con game and he just made the last season thread FILLED with spoilers?

 

[Dion Blaster]

I think Walt will die in the end, but he'll do it on his terms. Which is basically all he wanted from the moment he was diagnosed with cancer.

I disagree. I think the series will end with him alone, no family or friends, and his cancer coming back and him just sitting their in a chair, waiting to die.

 

[Dion Blaster]

Nice, season 5 is up at midnight on the dot.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Imagine cornballer was playing the long con game and he just made the last season thread FILLED with spoilers?

Would be the best con of all time though, Hiding the spoilers then all of the sudden bam.

 

[Alpende]

I don't agree with people saying that Walt MUST pay for his crimes by death or by getting arrested by Hank. I think it'd be a cool change to see the bad guy win instead of the standard good guys win scenario.

Not that I'm rooting for Walt, he's an asshole.

 

[kehs]

Would be the best con of all time though, Hiding the spoilers then all of the sudden bam.

I'd totally let cornballer not turn over in his sleep after choking if it came to that, just saying.

Well yeah, but as far as I can remember there haven't been any really huge time skips in the show (though the early seasons may have, it's been awhile since I watched them). I guess it really depends on where we see that flash-forward happen.

What about when he goes into the boot and there's an M60? Do you not think something significant might happen soon after?
