Shall we anticpate the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

So does this mean Walt & Jesse are out of the meth trade? Seeing as they destroyed the superlab, can't see how they can continue to keep up the high rate of production/take over Gus' business... so I'm not sure where the show can go, really? o_O

I'm sad about gus :(

yeah i'm gonna miss gus too. there was no way he was leaving this ep alive though.

i'll miss gus because he added a lot of tension -- without the pressure of mr. fastidious, the only pressure is the law and that's pretty zzzz

I am hoping for Gus flashbacks next season to explain his background

I liked the Morricone-isms in the score before Gus's death.

i'm wondering if in hindsight they would've axed fring knowing they have only 16 episodes left. b/c a rise-and-fall-walt-as-meth-kingpin storyline over that episode span seems difficult.

Walt is going to end up alive, broken and humble, happy to have his family and a car wash and not much money. Might even be a cancer scare.

walt needs 2 get 2 gus's house, restaurant, etc 4 everything incriminating him asap

*revs up the yaris*

Gus could be an angel/god. Or at least the terminator.

I won't miss him personally. But I'm pretty torn up about how wrong I was.

speaking of Gus divulging things, it seems like visiting Tio Hector to boast about killing his family might not be a great idea

Next prediction: 16 episodes of Walt and Skylar clashing over management direction at the carwash

So is Brock going to recover and say "hey, Walt gave me some berries"?

Surely any of us can guess what will happen next.

I liked the Morricone-isms in the score before Gus's death.

I totally noticed that, too, once you pointed it out. :)

But yeah, it was a deft touch.

I do think him leaving the room and straightening his tie before dying was putting too fine a point on it, though.

Funny, but... really now.

HOWEVER: The makeup and/or CG thqt went into that shot was fan-frickin-tastic. The way you can see the muscles at the back of the eyesocket twitch as he looks around for the last time.

HOWEVER: The song they picked to close this season is nowhere near as good as the song they picked to close the first episode of this season. That song -- "Truth" by Alexander Ebert -- has been in my head ever since. This one slightly annoyed me, and I don't care much to know who it's by.

The first song is so obviously Morricone-inspired... well, here:

I'd have loved if they'd closed the season with the same song.

Wait... that's Amy Winehouse, isn't it. Ok, well. Shit.

Parallels: the shot of Jesse and Walt shaking hands, but the shot split in two by a pillar in the parking garage, and the shot of Gus and Don Don Eladio shaking hands right before Gus poisoned him, split in two by a tree.

Hector, the man with virtually no control over anything, is given the power to kill Gus. Lost for words.

So what we're left with is a Walt who is (ostensibly) going back to a normal life, but who is now so ruthless that he'll endanger a baby.

Any chance Walt and Jesse were being watched on the roof of that building?

I felt a little cheated by the writers that the season-ending reveal was predicated on actions that were not shown to the audience.

they showed the gun rouletting onto the plant, they showed Walt changing his mind, they showed Huell boosting Jesse's cigs.

i want a gif of this btw

old lady "hi, hello" re: walt is the fucking funniest thing

I liked the bomb magnet getting stuck on the elevator door

that old lady is coming back, you know it -- she saw walt! what, is he gonna kill her too?

The bomb-in-hospital scene was hilarious for the bit of slapstick with the elevator door and the fact that even Jesse was like "you brought a BOMB into a HOSPITAL?!?"

yeah that part was good (the jesse part)
he was really good this episode, made lots of jesse faces

The only thing I'll guess about next season is that Jesse will learn that Walt poisoned Brock -- not much of a stretch. I like the idea of a mostly clean slate.

glad Jesse finally snapped out of the growly Batman voice he's been using the past few episodes

We could make a list of all the shit Walt's done that Jesse doesn't know about:
- Let his girlfriend die
- Poisoned the kid of his new girlfriend

Of interest (includes an interview with Esposito and Gilligan about it all, plus an appropriately gross GIF on the second page if your workplace is squeamish):

Breaking Bad fans, for sure, will miss Gustavo Fring, but Esposito’s colleagues on set might miss him a tad more. Many of Gus’s scenes were filmed at his fast-food fried-chicken chain, Pollos Hermanos, where Esposito often took over the kitchen to make his mean fried chicken.

“I love the fact that we shoot at a Twisters and I can really get behind the grill and really fry some really good fried chicken,” Esposito said. “And it’s fun because it makes it really authentic and realistic. And when people come by the counter—the crew and whatnot—I see them grabbing a little piece of skin. That means I’ve not only done a good job of acting, I’ve done a good job as one of the world’s best chefs. Ha ha!”

Next on television, Esposito will have a guest role on ABC’s new Once Upon a Time, which premieres on Oct. 23. But don’t count Gus completely out of Breaking Bad just yet. It’s possible he could return in flashbacks during the series’ final run next year, Gilligan said. Gus’s past in Chile—and the reason Don Eladio (Steven Bauer) did not kill him with Max—is still unrevealed.

Damn it Ned, I was hoping for an animated image. That's a jpeg :D

(gif is an image format that is generally shittier for photos so jpeg is used, but gif images are widely used as an animated format still)

My technically-deficient apologies.

this could be done up in a really gruesome way
"Haha!"
