Homosexual porn on cable? It's less likely than you think.

I'm already disappointed by Burn Notice's too safe/unnecessary Maddy death ending: I don't think Breaking Bad can disappoint me further.

This quote from Vince is great - he uses the series finale of MASH as a means to put what he and the writers are doing with Breaking Bad in perspective.

Vince Gilligan said:
The thing that works so well about the ending of "MASH" is that implicit in the very first episode is the idea of what the ending should be. The seeds are planted in that very first episode—here's a show about a bunch of people thrown together and they will make the best of a bad situation, but they all desperately want to go home.

So it stands to reason the final episode of "MASH" should be that everyone gets to go home — it’s a big goodbye — and that I think is the perfect ending for that series. It’s not a surprise ending. In fact you see it coming for 11 years, but it’s what you want as a viewer. It’s the only thing that can really satisfy you. And that’s why I think it’s a nearly perfect ending—or perhaps not nearly at all. Perhaps it is the perfect ending.

With a show like "Breaking Bad" viewers love the surprises we throw at them — they love those twist and turns that we give them—but sometimes the best surprise is no surprise. And I’m not giving away anything that will happen tomorrow, I’m just talking about what we discuss in the writers’ room: is the perfect ending surprising or preordained?

MASH isn't the first show a lot of people would pick as an inspiration point for Gilligan's work on Breaking Bad. :)

yanno what man

i think the ending is going to be about jesse and walt

i think the feud with the nazis will be taken care of with fairly quick, walt will devise a plan to mislead them into designated spot and mow them down by himself

and the rest of the episode will focus on jesse and walt,

what the hell am i saying

this is so OFF

Bad news for any Portland-area fans thinking about hitting up Kiggins theater to watch the finale:

The C&D's have begun raining down.

This happened to a lot of theaters that were showing the Walking Dead. AMC had sent them letters to stop last season. I'm pretty sure theaters can do it, only if it's being broadcast for free. But if they charge tickets, they aren't allowed to.

I'm actually surprised that theaters were going to do this for finale.

So do folks think Walt Jr. was underused? Gilligan has expressed regrets about that. Personally, I'm totally fine with his role and Mitte's performance. I'm very very happy Gilligan didn't go into any extended AJ Soprano-esque arcs.

Heisenberg should go to Nazi hideout and use Mercury Fulminate like he did on Tuco's joint, blow it to shit and gun everyone down with M60.

It would have been interesting to see him arrested for pot possession or something, especially from the "Jesse is Walt's dealer" and Hank's side of things.

One character that was legitimately underutilized was Wendy, who it doesn't seem will even make an appearance this season. She had her own theme song and everything!

So here's what Walt probably needs to do:

- Confront Lydia
- Find out where Jack and the Nazis are (if he doesn't know)
- Kill Lydia (ricin in stevia)
- Kill Nazis
- Get money

I wonder how long the episode will take to cover that. Knowing Gilligan the opposite of all that we expect will happen.

He's not going to kill Lydia. Lydia is such a manic that she would either kill herself or freakout and get caught when the Nazis blue meth operation blows up. Plus she doesn't pose any threat to Walt.

Walt knows Jesse is alive because only he and Jesse can make blue meth, so the m60 is probably reserved for the Nazis. Only way he can track them down is through Todd (he has his number).

I'm sorry to say you all got it wrong. Walt is going to...

Kill Gretchen and Elliot
Kill Nazis
Kill Todd
Save Jesse
Kill Marie
Kill Walter Jr.
Kill Skyler
Kidnap Holly. Again.

Then Walter, Jesse, Lydia and Holly ride into the sunset. The End.

You forgot about Trent. He's a loose end too.

He has no idea if Jesse is alive. Charlie Rose never said that the blue meth is "back". All he said was that the product in the past has made it's way <all the states he mentioned> Walt has no idea if Jesse is alive or not.

Watch from 51:35. Charlie Rose specifically mentions that blue meth is his signature product, and that it's all over Southwest. Only he and Jesse knew how to cook blue meth. When he was still in Albuquerque he was aware that Todd and friends weren't able to make the blue stuff, so someone is helping them. It has to be Jesse. And Jesse was last seen taken by the Nazis.

Jesse's Problem Dog scene at rehab was just on the marathon. God damn what a powerful scene. Did Aaron Paul win an Emmy for that?
