Gus is amazing, but nobody can touch Trinity. He's probably a close second though.

That being said, the only way Giancarlo doesn't win the Emmy is if they give it to Aaron Paul since they'll both be up for Best Supporting Actor.

S3 was Aaron Paul's season.

This one was absolutely dominated by Gus and Walt.

So what was with the camera angle that seemed to imply Jesse and Walt were being watched while they were on the roof? Mike?

The music when Walt is getting more money from his house reminds me of Portal 2 music

NAILED it with Hector Salamanca

Oh god that was awesome.... FACE OFF

They forgot to wipe the fire alarm for prints >__>

Oh man you guys were right about Walt poisoning... not bad

So that was a good finale... too good. Like a series finale more than a season finale.

When Gus emerged from the room, only his uninjured side visible, did anyone briefly think

HE SURVIVED, HE ****ING SURVIVED, HOW IN THE FFFFFFFFFF

or was it just me?

The Gilligan interview explains that. It was written so that it could be satisfying as the series finale as well as just S4!

I almost thought they couldn't pull off a series finale that was as awesome as this whole season has been


but they did


oh. my. god.

If S5 ends up being half this good this show will be more than top 5, it'll probably break my top 3.

I'm probably one of the bigger Mad Men fans on this board, and one of few who put it on the level with Breaking Bad, but I have no earthly idea what Mad Men can do to surpass Breaking Bad now. "Blowing Smoke" and "Shut the Door, Have a Seat" are tremendous episodes, but I don't know that there's anything in that universe that has stakes as big as Breaking Bad had last night.

So glad a full season of Walking Dead starts right away to ease the wait, but man... next summer cannot come quickly enough.



Awesome song, perfect for Gus's sendoff. That scene could have been directed by Sergio Leone.

From: Alan Sepinwall |
Short version of what Vince told me: Huell did, as Jesse initially guessed, lift the cigarette from Jesse while frisking him at Saul's office (Walt didn't need to get the cigarette itself; just to have it no longer be on Jesse's person), and the writers never entirely broke down how Walt might have gotten the berries to Brock, but knew he would have had enough time to do it.

Really?

It just seems like an odd angle for it to simply be a POV from Gus' car. But I suppose you could be right.

Also, I have to say the music really made this episode for me. The music in Breaking Bad is usually pretty good/fitting, but they really nailed it on this finale. It made the scene with Gus and Hector particularly intense, and the end song just fit wonderfully, lyrics and all. The "We have work to do" scene was probably my favorite scene, just because I love seeing Jesse and Walt working together and them destroying the lab was a rather cathartic moment.

Yeah, well written finale to make me look forward A LOT to season five, i wasn't a big fan of seasons 3 and 4 (when compared to the first two) but now that they have gotten rid of the "bigger" problem, now the show can go back to its roots for season 5, can't wait.

Yeah the thing with that scene, it wasn't 100% realistic, but the pure gut-level awesomeness of the OMG NO WAY HE CAN'T WALK AWAY FROM THAT...OMG HIS FACE!!!! trumps any realism concerns.

I'm aware of that, but those are two different shots. The shot at the end when Walt is driving away makes it clear that it's from the inside of the car. When Walt and Jesse are talking on the roof, you don't see any part of the car in the frame; I'm not even entirely convinced it lines up with where the car actually is.

I'm probably looking too deeply into nothing, but Breaking Bad tends to take small, seemingly insignificant things and make them significant (Ted tripping over the rug when he goes to open the door for Skyler, the gun pointing at the plant) so I never really know what to think.

the angle's different because walt's in a different spot relative to the camera; further, there is no need to show the car in the first shot. it's more symbolic - gus was parked higher in the garage than anyone else when he left the car there, now the camera is looking up at walt, one level above

Fun interview with Giancarlo Esposito (Gus) that came out after Season 3.

Makes me think about how the nearly untouchable Gus became more vulnerable without Mike around. Instead, he had to rely on this guy: external image
