Last season was fucking terrible. It was painful to go thru and binge watching the show really made everyone's character development implosion stand out.

Really?
I thought the last few episodes were the best television ever. I'll say parts of the first half of the last season pushed the boundaries of believability for me. Sometimes Walt's genius worked almost too conveniently, but in the end when it all comes crashing down it makes that feel like the point. It would never last. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Personally, I feel like it just went too fast. The pacing was very different from the rest of the show.
Usually you get moments of reflection every step of the way to really get into the characters heads. The last eight episodes, to me, felt like a huge plot dump that didn't focus enough on the slower moments of emotion and reflection. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Really? He wasn't really a genius though. He kept making bad mistake after bad mistake. Walt was way too greedy and overzealous and it blew up in his face every time. And he would usually turn around and act like it was someone else's fault instead of accepting the blame. The last we episodes weren't that great because they waited too long to make Walt finally decide to fix things --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why would Jessie want to die with Walt...he hated Walt for always manipulating and getting away with everything that ending would make no sense.
It would have been more epic if the final confrontation was between Walt and Hank, and ONLY Walt and Hank. Not throwing in some random gang as the antagonist. Why?

I'll add to what I said:
I think the broad strokes of the plot were good choices overall. But some of the best scenes/scenarios in the series were the slow ones: the pillow talking scene in the early show, the scenes where Jesse deals with his guilt and addictions, etc. The last eight episodes were a sped up version of what I would call an ideal last season. --- <insert sig here> ...

Last season was fucking terrible. Thank you! Finally someone who agrees. Season 4 was such a perfect ending. A few more episodes or a few tweaks and they could have resolved everything. Instead we got cartoonish Nazi bad guys, Walt becoming a Saturday morning cartoon villain, and an unbearably long season that just sort of wallowed in it's own popularity. ... Copied to Clipboard!

TheDarkCircle posted...YookaLaylee posted...TheDarkCircle posted...Really? What closure would Jessie need with Walt? Jessie hates Walt, Walt is the cause of all the drama and he continues to manipulate. It's why Jessie started screaming with anger while he drove away because (while he was saved) Walt STILL gets away with it and gets what he wants. Walt was gonna die from cancer regardless, so him bleeding out in the lab (which he truly loved) is a very poetic and does actually provide closure. Also to some others, a good way to look at if you understand the series is to understand the following statement. If you think Walt did all this drug dealing just for his family (or even mostly for his family) then you really didn't understand the story. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It seems to me you guys are upset that Walt isn't a hero and you wanted an ending where Walt didn't have to deal with the repercussion of his manipulation and actions that put himself over the family. Admittedly, Walt didn't seem like a bad guy when they first started writing him. But much later, like around season 4 or 5, it felt like his character had changed, kinda. Then again, Vince Gilligan had said that their original idea was to "take Mr. Chips and turn him into Scarface", and if that really was their intention from the very beginning, then I'd say they did pretty well on that. Because near the end, it was like they were writing a totally different character. I can't imagine season 1 Walt giving that threatening and disturbing, "I am the danger" speech to his wife. I never expected Walt to be a hero, I just expected some consistency with the character, and not having to resort to excuses as to why he did some of the dumb things he did, or why he changed in character. But like I said, if that really was their intention from the very beginning for him to change, then... --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Walt didn't plan to live much longer at all. The way the show ended made perfect sense. Walt wasn't lying at all when he told Hank in a year there would be nobody to convict. His cancer was going to kill him if those bullets hadn't. His last wish was to kill the guys that took all his money. Saving Jesse ended up as icing on the cake.

The people who didn't like the last season are the people who flat-out didn't understand the show. I think that is a broad conclusion to make. I get the show. Walt cloaked his hubris in the need to provide and continued because his ego wouldn't allow him to quit. Good story. What I don't like is that Walt turned from "complicated man out of his element but surviving none-the-less" to outright Lex Luthor style super villain. It felt forced and cartoony. The Nazis felt like a desperate attempt to make a villain most people would hate more than Walt, but their beliefs never actually had any impact on the show. They could have been literally any criminal organization, but Nazis were chosen obviously so they could keep Walt at least a bit morally grey. On top of that, Hank went completely off character, going from 'an ass who is good at his job' to a complete failure of a cop. That's not to mention how long and drawn out it was. It felt like episodes were padded. I'm not saying it's a bad show, by any means. It's not my personal favorite, but I get its popularity and I think it deserves some credit. The last season was just crap, though. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The people who didn't like the last season are the people who flat-out didn't understand the show. This is true. I mean, it's very clear that Walt was never actually a good guy (in the time of the show), but was simply powerless. Given power, Walt's true characteristics are born out.

People who think the neo-nazi thing came out of nowhere again just weren't really thinking critically about them.
The point was that they WEREN'T some big, malevolent, genius force like Gus or the Cartel. They were the leftovers. They were the unstable remains of a drug trade that Walt blew up and then promptly abandoned because he suddenly decided it was time to be a family man. It was like pulling out of the middle east too soon after deposing Hussein. They were unorganized, sloppy, needlessly violent, messy. They're an embodiment of Walt's chickens coming home to roost. Walt remade the meth industry in his image, because as Mike said, he just "had to be the man," then decided "eh, never mind, I'll just hand this whole thing over to Lydia. She seems stable." Walt reaped what he'd sown there. Uncle Jack and his gang might be the faces of the antagonists in Season 5, but the true antagonist of Season 5 is Walt, or more accurately, Walt's hubris, greed, and selfish mistakes. --- -Shred ...

They could have been literally anything, but it was ham-handed to make the Nazis so people would assume they were villains and somehow, randomly still sorta cheer for Walt until the realization that he was the monster. It's shitty writing, because they wrote themselves into a corner at the end of Season 4 and suddenly had to back track a bit to keep the moral ambiguity alive. ... Copied to Clipboard!
