It feels so strange that this is ending.

That being said, I'm happy that Vince Gilligan is getting a lot of publicity, respect and renown for what he's been able to do with the show. I'm hopeful that maybe we're heading into a period where great show runners start to become more popularized and celebrated; it seems like even the great ones were relatively nameless in the past.

How long now? I need to know when to stop reading this thread and start refreshing TPB.

They buttoned things up pretty nicely, even if it all was a little obvious. Ricin for Lydia was spotted from a mile away.

best moment was when walt finally admitted he did it for himself with todd going out jabba style a close second.

seeing brandon and skinny pete was sort of like seeing the soup nazi walk into the courtroom, but i liked it anyway. it made sense.

pretty great finale to a pretty great show. my only issue is that jesse didn't die. this show had the balls to do everything else, but they didn't do that. and the thing is, i love jesse, which is why i wanted him to die. what does he have to look forward to exactly, yo?

Oh, man. yea, when Walt admitted to doing it to himself a part of me smiled and another part of me died. That was perfect.

Great use of music on the last shot too. For a split second when the song started I thought it was going tot be cheesy, but it ended up working well.

I suppose it's not coincidence that the first murder of the series (Walt killing Krazy 8 in the basement) was done the same way as the last murder with Jesse strangling Todd.

Emilio was the first.

Very satisfying ending.

Only flaw was the nazis not checking the trunk before they let him drive in.

The little camera trick of hiding Walt behind the pillar in the kitchen while Skylar was on the phone was genius.
