Jack Welker and Hank Schrader actually have the same last word. Hank Schrader: “you’re the smartest guy i’ve ever met… and you’re too stupid to see…. he made up his mind ten minutes ago. do what you’re gonna d-“ Jack Welker: “Wait…. wait…. you want your money, right? you wanna know where it is? you pull that trigger and you’re never gonna-“ they both died mid sentence on the same word but Jack died a monster begging for his life, and Hank died with honor and dignity.

[@LeumazDnazor]

Beautifully written.

[@yt.byliam]

BIRD'S EYE VIEW: we look straight down on Walt as he tumbles into frame, lying flat on his back on the floor. His eyes stare up at us, lifeless. And yet, his final expression is one of faint satisfaction. We slowly CRANE UP, UP and AWAY from him. Walt shrinks smaller and smaller in frame. POLICE OFFICERS approach him now -- four, six, eight of them. They move in cautiously, their guns aimed. They're too late. He got away. We continue SKYWARD, looking down on Walt, rising as high as we can go. Off this image, slowly FADING TO BLACK...

I may be wrong but I've always thought that as Walt looks over the lab.. it isn't just nostalgia.. Jesse had got pulled in while he was doing a new batch.. I think Walt is checking it and realizing that Jesse had done everything right and he cracks a little smile.

He also taps on one of the thermometers because it was 86 degrees where as in one of the earlier seasons, he states that it has to be exactly 85 degrees.

He was a teacher, after all. He must've gotten some satifaction from it. But that was definitely not the sole purpose of the little smile. This series was layered and layered with different emotions and ambivalence. Nice observation though, I wasn't thinking of that on this viewing.

[@ZenShroud1]

There were three instances of Walt obtaining a set of keys from a place above himself, each time preceding him killing a character. - The key to the bike lock trapping Krazy-8 is kept on top of a cabinet. Krazy-8 dies shortly after. - The key to Mike's to-go bag is kept on top of a beam in the airport parking lot. Mike dies shortly after. - The key(under the visor) to the car Walt steals in the beginning. Walt dies later. Only this time, instead of reaching for the key, he makes it fall into his hand, controlling his fate. Also, in the final shot as the camera moves up, there's a blue strip of floor near Walt, and it could represent a finish line. Whether Walt crossed, or just missed it, is up for us to decide.

[@TheRepublican777]

And that scene is a copy shot of when he was in the floor of his house laughing and you see how he admires how clean that lab was kept by Jesse his blue creations of meth and his best student he ever had.

[@jacrispy4life710]

I also feel like the beams look like the Br Ba logo. Probably not intentional though

[@prestowitch]

holy shit

[@corywhitley4573]

The way Walt used the machine gun to kill Todd's crew was similar to Todd's crew shooting at Hank and Gomez, a barrage of bullets raining down, then Jack getting a bullet to the head mid sentence.

[@forrester_z3881]

25:17 this scene is an exact parallel to Hank's death. When he shot Hank, he cut him off while he spoke. So Walt killed him the exact same way, cut him off while he was talking. But what makes the BIGGEST difference though is that Hank bravely accepted his death because he refuses to sell himself out. While Jack pathetically bargains for his life like a coward.

[@christopherbauer9991]

And Hank's death was dignified, heard more than seen with the shot echoing through the canyons, whereas Jack gets splattered all over the camera.

[@prestowitch]

@@christopherbauer9991 hell yeah

[@honeytlbadger4365]

Crazy to think Jessie was supposed to die in season 1 and he actually ended up being one of the only characters to survive.

[@chab_az]

Every time I watch the end, I always think of the cops and people that come to a giant compound with a meth lab and millions of dollars Bodies everywhere and Heisenberg laying there. Imagine the stories they would tell for years seeing that scene

[@John_Locke_108]

And they'll probably see the picture of Andrea and Brock and be able to close the book on her murder. A little bit of closure for her family.

[@chab_az]

@@John_Locke_108 just imagine the CSI crew that has to go in and try and piece this whole thing together and create the story that happened. I bet they could do a whole season like that lol

[@Josh-GT]

I always thought that Walt putting his bloody fingerprints on the lab equipment was his way of taking credit for everything until the very end... 🤷🏽‍♂️ Just my take

[@chab_az]

I would like to hear all the theories that law enforcement and everybody would come up with. See how close they were to the actual real scenario..

[@mwalsh47]

Lydia is such a creature of habit, Walt knew what coffee shop she would be at, on what day, and at what time. So he got there first and made sure the Ricin/Stevia was the only Stevia packet at that table. She HAS TO use Stevia, and if there's only one packet, she'll have to use THAT Stevia. It's easy to miss that there was only one packet early in the scene because we don't know what we're seeing yet, so they made sure she tells the waiter "we need more Stevia" to drive the point home at the end.

[@SpackleMcCrackle]

I think Walt’s coughing fit at Lydia’s cafe table is far less relevant to her fate than the fact that Walt got there first and there was only a single stevia packet at her regular table.

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

I think it was either before she walked in since he knew she'd go to her preferred table or when the waiter gave Walt her drink on the plate.

[@Athasin]

Mind you we all knew how opposed to killing Jesse was up until and even after Gail. What he decides to do to Todd just drives home just how much they broke him.

[@Dahmen-ll8cd]

But Todd absolutely deserved to die ........He is a sociopath

[@Athasin]

​@@Dahmen-ll8cd Agreed, but that's no different than most of the guys Walt had to kill, but Jesse was always hesitant to do the same. Even when it came to the Gus' guys who got Brock's uncle to kill Combo Jesse hesitated. He did NOT hesitate when it came to Todd.

[@TheRepublican777]

Walt never could stand seeing Jesse hurt so to see him chained up and beat up scars like that he knows he has to save him cuz he put him there

[@zTaq]

Walt was so scared about dying from his cancer, but in the end the thing that made him feel most alive is what actually killed him

[@642lin]

Walt planed to kill them all including jesse because he thought they were all partners. After he seen jesse was a prisoner he decided to save him and thats why he tackled him.

[@jimmygreer2140]

"Guess I got what I deserved" - an absolutely perfect ending for this character. He was such an evil shit that he HAD to die. But he went out with whatever was left of that highschool teacher & devoted father. Tried his best to fix the damage he did to his family, made sure Jesse got out. Ugh, the character arc is so delicious...I just can't get enough of Walter White. I get it. There are weirdos out there that like idolize Heisenberg. I don't understand it. But I do understand the popularity of the character. For most of us, it's just an amazing ride to get on and we enjoy seeing just how Bad we can Break. For me, I'm out at Jane. I can justify everything up to that point as self-defense/preservation. Still, I imagine some of those things would be a hit on the soul. But I feel like Jane is the point of no return. Can either turn back & keep your soul but will have to deal with the blackmail bullshit. Or you can pretty much kiss your soul goodbye.

[@hafor2846]

You can root for an evil bastard. The Joker is cool despite being terrible. And so is Walter White. You can acknowledge that he is terrible while also hoping that he takes his ass out of the line of fire one last time with his intelligence and audacity. Anyone who actually likes him, not just the character and the way he develops, is an idiot. Sure, at first he's that spunky underdog who rebels against his domineering wife and aweful boss, but that slips very quickly and all that's left should be interest in how he'S coming out on top or how far anyone else is supporting him. After all, he is channeling the same thing whether he threatens Tuco or threatens his wife, he just does it against innocent people now. It's a measure of degree. That's the point. The difference of a nasty teacher (or even a good teacher) and a drug lord is a bunch of bad decisions.

[@onepureturtle]

I loved to dunk on this pathetic bald bastard week after week. But seeing him pull a win from the jaws of defeat was always amazing.

[@Mcnutty924]

@Mcnutty924 there is a difference with liking a character & idolizing one. Like we're talking about those that go EVEN FURTHER than getting a Heisenberg tattoo. WW is a fascinating character to me & Arya Stark is my all time favorite. That doesn't mean I wish I could be her.

[@Mcnutty924]

@jimmygreer2140 No, there's not. Do you wanna know why? Because this is all fake. Walter isn't real. The people he's killed aren't real. Because all this is fake, it allows people to root for evil characters. You're just upset that people think of the character differently than you so you try and act like they're morally corrupt.

But he beared up and still made sure to provide for his family, both financially and in terms of their safety.

[@bcross9109]

this is a horrendous read my dude, lol. If not for that kind of toxic ego he could've spared his family a tremendous amount of pain and literally Hank dying??? And it goes all the way back to Grey Matter, plus refusing the cancer money. He could've been there for his family plenty of times, and the whole point of the finale is he acknowledges he did all of this for him. I think Jr would've rather had his Uncle Hank than a pile of money from Gretchen (who probably would've helped him anyway!).

Jesse realizes that Walt saved his life on purpose throwing him down and got shot just like Jesse wanted him to do when they were held hostage at Tucos place, remember he said he wantes Walt to jump Tuco and be all sacrificial for him because he is going to die of cancer anyways, plus that's what a father would do. So seing that Walt actually did that for him Jesse didn't want to be the one who killed him he didn't want to do what Walt says anymore and he didn't want another kill on him of Walts orders and someone he knows all to well, Jesse didn't want Walt's kill to be on him.

[@allyourmoney]

The garage door operner/M-60 sweeper was tested on Mythbusters & it totally works. It failed to fire the first time, but in the show Walt had plenty of ammo to test fire his so he'd work out all the bugs before using it on them.

[@AJ-nw5su]

I think the biggest takeaways from the final episodes is that Walt really did value his family more than anything else. But his huge ego/need for validation made him reckless and they all ended up paying the price Edit: Yes, the finale made it clear that Walter did this all mostly for his ego. But that doesn't mean that he valued his ego more than his family - he knew that there was a possibility that his family would get hurt, but he didn't actually think it would happen, especially after he had killed Gus. When the choice came between Hank's life and all the money he had made, he was willing to give up the money with no hesitation. That was the point that established the heirachy of Walt's values.

[@brownsey1]

But he didn't value his family more than anything else! If he did, he would have sucked it up and taken Elliott's offer. Instead, he opted to put everyone he loved in mortal danger multiple times.

Walt was going to kill Jesse and himself with the rest of them, but after seeing how broken Jesse was, he decided to save him by covering his body with his, and took the richoceting bullet that was meant for Jesse.

[@martinholt8168]

This entire series can be summed up by a single conflict between Walter White, the caring and loving husband and father, and Heisenberg, the callous amoral drug dealer and murderer. Finally, in this episode, we see the merging of both entities into a single purpose: the salvation of his family and loved ones and the destruction of the people who threatened them. Heisenberg is still there, but now he's on a leash. There's a reason Vince Gilligan et al. deserve every single accolade accorded them.

They didn't want Brian Cranston for Breaking Bad because of his past on Malcolm in the middle. According to The Hollywood Reporter, executives had trouble believing that a former comedy star could lead their new major drama. “We all still had the image of Bryan shaving his body in ‘Malcolm in the Middle.”. We thought, ‘Are you serious? Is there Anybody Else? ‘,” said a former executive. It really wasn’t until creator Vince Gilligan himself, who was determined to cast Cranston as the star of his show, urged executives to watch the episode of “X-File” featuring Cranston that they began to become convinced. In the episode in question, Cranston plays a man who suffers radiation exposure, allowing him to show his range of acting. “That was a difficult role to choose in ‘File X’,” said Gilligan (who worked as a writer, producer and occasional director on the show years before “Breaking Bad”). “We needed someone who could be dramatic and terrifying but had an underlying humanity so that when he died, he would feel sorry for him. Bryan got it done.” It was through that episode that executives convinced themselves to choose Cranston as Walter White. Taken from FB

It was a pleasure ladies. Ha, this saved me so much time. Enjoyed the journey.

[@Ronin.97]

Didd you guys watch el camino next or do we have to wait until BCS is done?

Ariana is the definition of jump to conclusions lol

[@turboklanias9626]

Also, Gilligan explains you perfectly how he's gonna kill them half the episode in, yet it is still jaw-dropping.

[@stupidsminkle]

We're here you guys, the finale 😢

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Best possible ending. Walt took care of his family financially, killed the bad guys, and enabled Jesse to go free. Skyler, Walt Jr. and Marie have to live with heartbreak though.

[@shect1]

Better Call Saul did such a great job telling a different story but also going back to this story and giving everyone else their ending

[@turboklanias9626]

Final comment: What you said about Walter and emotional manipulation was totally true. The only guy he went against and found it difficult to deal with was Gus, just because Gus had no emotion, no reaction whatsoever. He was unpredictable and Walt was desperate. Only when he found out about the beef with the Salamancas, did Walt uncover Gus' emotional gap. His dead partner to Hector. His only vulnerability. The series has so many details about how Walt deals with every nemesis he has.

I really did look forward to this every week. It was fun watching others see such a great show for the first time. I'm looking forward to El Camino and BCS!

Can we take a monent to appreciate just how perfect the song at the end fit the entirety of the show?

[@redviper6805]

Walter protecting Jesse like that was actually foreshadowed in Season 2; when Tuco took them hostage Mythbusters did an analysis on Walter’s deadly contraption in the trunk, guest starring Vince Gilligan! You’ll love this. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmfXkH6GbN5rd9E&pp=ygUkbXl0aGJ1c3RlcnMgYnJlYWtpbmcgYmFkIG1hY2hpbmUgZ3Vu Walter didn’t want his money back. He wanted Hank back.

That's why there was only one Stevia packet there lol what was there early and took all the packets out of that table and left just the one that he had already contaminated with and sealed back up he knew exactly what table she always sits at and watched to make sure no one took it

[@zachmaster426]

I don't think I've ever seen a show with a more satisfying ending

[@OwnYourBaldSpot]

Thanks for the reactions!

[@ernieojeda]

I think this was the best season finale to actually wrap up a series than any other show

[@michaelbrown17]

This is a great end to the series and wraps up the story nicely. I didn’t think they needed a follow up movie but El Camino was excellent and gave an ending to the Jesse storyline

[@martinholt8168]

'Felina' is the name of the song Walt is humming while he's assembling the machine gun rig. "Felina' is also three elements linked together. Fe (iron,) Li (lithium) and Na (sodium.)

[@chrisadraheim]

Nitpicking here, but Felina is the woman he's singing about in the song, the actual name of the song is El Paso.

[@twoheart7813]

The baby blue youtube song channels were lit that night, perfect song for the ending. Looking forward to your better call Saul journey, I enjoyed that as much as BB.

[@baltic1940]

Best finale of all time

[@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.-]

"What if she sat at a different table?" That's the thing about Lydia-she’s so meticulous and predictable. She always sits at the same table, in the same seat, orders a hot drink, and adds stevia to it. Walt knew she’d follow her usual routine. This is also how he knew where and when to run into her.

[@TampaCEO]

25:32 - Walt shot Jack in the middle of his sentence, exactly the same way Jack shot Hank in the middle of his sentence. This show is a collection of brilliant little nuances.

[@cheappoetry2798]

What a wild ride! It's been awesome to react with the girls. No more turning points 🥲

It was ironic that it was his own bullet that got him, while he was shielding Jessie from the same bullets
