Many people would have liked another season but it would have been too much imo. Maybe a couple of episodes .. just to see Jesse and the others a few years later.

BrBa :bow:

And to say that i've hesitated for a long time to watch just because i thought that Bryan aka Malcom's father was not a great actor .. Shame on me .

What a great finale that was. tied up all the loose ends, left nothing unanswered.

When I have the time, I'm gonna re-run the entire show.

Spoiler:

Amazing show.

Here is a little stat for you, the Finale broke BB's viewership number but that is still half of what Duck Dynasty gets

Whatever happened to Lydia's daughter?

What happened to Huell, ted, saul, the ginger etc, but who really cares? Laughing

Some of you guys were asking for a part where it shows how Skyler, Flynn, Jessie end up but the show isnt about them tbh. They are important but even in the last episode Walt says he did everything for himself. This was his journey. Everyone else was just along for the ride. The only character's fate we had to know in the finale was Walt's imo

Satisfying ending to this goat show.

The Voice gets a lot more viewers than Breaking Bad's finale on a weekly basis as well. Do you have a point?

Completely correct except for the Jesse part. Creators themselves said show quickly became as much about Jesse as it was about Walt. His future is...what? He has no money. DEA probably is looking for him since Marie probably told them about him cooperating with Hank. He might even be arrested :/

Not a fan of that finale tbh.

Not the normal slow burn that these BB episodes normally are and for a finale, that's rather disappointing. The air of finality to this episode played against it instead of for it.

So, what were your top scenes from Breaking Bad?

Mine probably was:

I didn't know what the hell was going to happen at that point...

by CBarca Sat Oct 05, 2013 6:28 am

I was pretty satisfied with the ending. Glad Walt died, all the loose ends were tied up and everything. I did feel rather than the two 8 episode seasons it should have been a 5th season and a 6th, but other than that, everything was well done. The finale was great IMO but not mindblowing.

Favorite point in the series...I'm not sure. The end of season 3 was great, but IMO the second half of season 4 was absolutely ridiculous. The high point of the series. I didn't feel much in the finale with the villains being Todd and the rest compared to when Walt was facing off with Gus. The scene Urban posted was probably my favorite, although this one is GOAT too

by Blue Barrett Sat Oct 05, 2013 6:55 am

Favourite episode = Ozymandias by far.

Favourite scene though? Gustavo Muthafckin Fring's half face :bow:

by ExtremistEnigma Sat Oct 05, 2013 7:36 am

Almost every episode had a great scene, it's hard to pick which is the best lol.

If I had to choose one, it would've been the one mentioned in the opening post. That's when I got hooked up. :bow:

by Albiceleste Sat Oct 05, 2013 8:37 am

season four is the GOAT, not much dispute

the other seasons are amazing as well but four is genius

by Firenze Sat Oct 05, 2013 12:15 pm

couldn't find a clip but my fav scene is the one where mike and the mexican guy are about to kill walt, and he's supposed to tell jesse to come to him but instead gives him the address to kill Gale :bow:

by Art Morte Sat Oct 05, 2013 1:49 pm

Watched the final episode this morning, very satisfied with the ending. The third best TV show I've ever watched after Band of Brothers and The Sopranos. Take a bow.

Also the ending song was perfect to close the show with. I feel like the last great drama show just left TV ffs.

The final song fit so well that I even wondered if they had made it just for this purpose x)

I felt as if the show gave me the right amount of closure and I definitely plan of watching all five seasons again in the near future.

Seconded. It wasn't rushed. A prolonged version would just have meant boring relationship drama between whoever. Neither was I left longing for happy-ending-last-pictures for Jesse, Skyler, Marie nor Saul. Just because a show is ending doesn't mean you have to go all soft.

One more season would've been even worse. Now things moved nicely forward from season to season. Another season before the ending would have been just a filler, even if it had been a good one, distracting this on-going main theme of things escalating.

by Onyx Sat Oct 05, 2013 2:11 pm

Should it matter that Todd's uncle's gang wasn't that powerful/highly ranked for them to be the last villains to end the show? Gus was more powerful.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 05, 2013 3:29 pm

It probably shouldn't MT but it mattered to me too tbh

Todd (Basically cooked meth after robbing fumigated houses) and his UNcle & Co seemed like a big step down from Walt being an enemy of the Cartel.

I'm so surprised the Neo-Nazi mob were the main enemies in the last part of BB. After seasons of Drug lords and Cartel hitmen.

by Onyx Sat Oct 05, 2013 3:54 pm

The only reason it wouldn't matter is because it wasn't just Walt vs the villain. It was about other things related to Walt as well. Like the DEA, his family, him running away etc. Todd's uncle's gang was just one part of the ending.

In terms of better villains, I prefer the sadistic ones rather than generic ones like Todd's uncle. Tuco, Gus and those twins were more intimidating.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 05, 2013 4:06 pm

Agreed

One of the best shows of all time but I think an ending involving the Cartel would've been better than a small group of small time criminals who recently got involved in the meth game.

Either way everybody has different opinions and BB was great ffs :bow:

Gonna miss it.

by Art Morte Sat Oct 05, 2013 6:27 pm

I thought that Todd's uncle's gang was just fine. Small-time criminals who seized the opportunity. Also, a cartel or two were already disbanded so it makes sense a new one didn't just pop up in no time. I mean, Gus spent years building up his.

by M99 Sat Oct 05, 2013 6:38 pm

IMO Season 5 as a whole was the best. 5>4>3>2>1, basically show just kept getting better Laughing

Fav episode=Ozymandias
Fav scene=Walt killing the 2 dealers in Season 3.

by Guest Sat Oct 05, 2013 7:23 pm

by Onyx Sat Oct 05, 2013 11:03 pm

It would have made more of a difference had the final criminals been bigger. There wasn't much build up in terms of Walt vs Jack/Todd either. Plus they didn't have that special something about them. They were just your average criminals. Gus had that special something about him.

However like I said, the final storyline wasn't just about Walt vs the gang. The gang was just one part of the ending and were kinda just filler.

by Firenze Sat Oct 05, 2013 11:07 pm

It was a fine way to end with them. We've already seen the cartels etc, Walt took down people, thought he was on top, then had his empire/money taken from him by people he brought into the game. They were underrated, even Mike said he wasn't worried about them from the intel he got, but they kept on proving to be competent. I was absolutely fine with them being the final antagonists.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 05, 2013 11:27 pm

Agree with MT

Also the thing is, the criminals didn't care about Walt THAT much

Todd respected Walt hugely and the Neo Nazis left Walt some of his own money out of respect. Their was not much bad blood. A far cry from 2 hitmen sitting in his bedroom with an axe.
