Yeah, considering he just gave the feds his general location, he is pretty much on the run now.

I am assuming he did that to give himself up, but decided at the last second to get revenge due to seeing the Charlie Rose Interview.

The only question I have is: When Walt goes to kill the Aryan gang, will he find Jesse alive, and if so, will he save him?

The only good part of the show was Saul having the sense to say no and go his own way.

Walt escaping NH will be unbelievable. He's on foot in the snow in an area he doesn't know--so sparsely populated that the residents will have a very good idea which property he was staying at when police ask them to brainstorm.

Have you ever been in the middle of nowhere in Vermont or New Hampshire? You don't just walk into a bar as a stranger and have people treat you normal, let alone make weird phone call to a high school in New Mexico for you. They are suspicious. They ask questions. Heck, I turned up at 9pm at a restaurant/motel looking for a room one night. The bartender eyed me up and gave me thirty questions before she'd rent me a room. Wanted to know where I was from, why I was in the area, why I needed a room, etc. They don't trust strangers AT ALL up there. Apparently they don't travel at night because they thought it was very strange I needed a room at 9pm.

I'm still disappointed that this is coming down to the Nazis and Walt. They were so unimportant throughout the seasons. It's almost like they just threw this season together to find a way to end it. Going back to Grey Matter isn't impressing me either. What's he going to do? Kill the Grey Matter dude? Prove to them he's not the same nice guy by going on a rampage?

I don't care that Skyler is living a life of poverty and might to prison. I don't care that Walt Jr. hates Walt. He should. Walt Jr. is the only person who sees Walt for who he is. It doesn't matter that Walt didn't kill Hank. Walt killed a lot of people and does not deserve Walt Jr.'s respect. I don't care about Walt. Period.

If you've followed Talking Bad two episodes ago, the writers said they always had the ending but were working their way back through the seasons.

As Heisenberg, he had something that he did, that people respected. Even though it was an alter ego, he did it and it was known. Now, the blue meth continues, the Gray Matter people have completely moved on and diminished his contribution almost to nothing, his family wants nothing to do with him (though I wonder if Walt Jr er Flynn is still driving the car Walt bought for him) and he really does have nothing to show for it all in the end.

Also, as they showed with the Aryans, this show is also about greed and how it destroys everyone. All these people with so much money and all they want is more of it, and it is their downfall.
I disagree, Walter's motivation is not greed at all, but power and control and legacy (personal accomplishments and the ability to provide for his family)- as you discuss in your first paragraph. Money is just a means to an end.
Todd is not cooking still because of greed, but because "the heart wants what it wants" in his own psychotic beleifs.
As has been discussed, it seems that the show has something else in mind for the climax other than storming Todd's gang with a machine gun (that will be part of it, but it won't be the climax). I think dealing with Gray Matter will be more subtle, he has something in mind that hopefully will blow us away.

That's disappointing.

That's actually good - so we know that everything had a purpose and it wasn't "make it up as you go" with loose ends at the end (as the old series "Lost" appeared to be at times, even though we were told that they also had an end game).

Yeah, I think the series is concluding brilliantly, last week's episode will go down as one of the best episodes of television ever (and some people think this week was better.)

So many great series end poorly - this is how Dexter fans feel this morning:

I just knew him as the guy from Jackie Brown, I thought it was hilarious in a good way. I'm considering him to be the same character, he just moved to abq and opened up a vacuum shop at some point after.

Funny joke I saw on another board:

Well, now we know who the ricin is for.

Jeff Daniels!
