The money went to his son, not Jessee.

And they did not deserve 10 million, why would they? And what is important to your kids is not 10 million bucks!

The only worthwhile legacy is having been a good person and Walt didnt know that because he never was!

It will be hard to outdo Battlestar Galactica. When first hearing about the show being remade, I went on a tirade about Hollyweird remaking something that had already been done. Boy, was I ever wrong! I now have the whole series on DVD. I may wind up doing that with Breaking Bad, but for the time being, I DVRed the marathon so I can go back to the beginning and watch the whole story.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I never scoff at 10 million as a legacy to leave my family

If you haven’t seen it, give it a try, I consider it on par with breaking bad, but it is a show that has to be watched in order, can’t skip episodes.

Except for that stupid "Black Market" episode.

I bet the cops revive Walter White, he avoids prosecution, and moves to a town in California called Charming. There, he begins cooking meth again for an organization run by Tony Soprano, who has an ex-cop lieutenant named Vic Mackey and a hitman named Dexter. The local motorcycle gang supplies muscle to the organization.

Then they could all get on one giant water ski (like the Go-Go’s in that Vacation video), and jump over the shark.

Scoff no! But would you cook and distribute meth and murder for that chance? And would it make your family better? It was ill gotten gains and would be a burden to your family.

Badger and Skinny Pete with laser pens and a couple of fat stacks was a nice touch.

There are no paid assassins stalking Eliot and Gretchen, but they don't know that.

Just so long as the ultra dopey Schwartz couple follows through.

They don't know that the "snipers" outside their window were Badge and Skinny Pete with laser pointers.

They don't know that there aren't paid assassins waiting to kill them if they don't follow through.

Beats the Sopranoes ending, satisfying!

Agreed. I see Kurt Sutter doing the same thing with Sons of Anarchy in the 7th, and final, season. We're a few episodes into season 6, and it's been a trainwreck, the kind you can't turn away from.

That's my opinion, as one who's watched from episode 1.

”I liked it when Walter told Skyler he did it all for himself.”

I loved that. In a way, he kinda did a 9th step amend....

Interesting take Laz. All along in the series Walt tried to rationalize his actions and the terrible crimes he committed as being ultimately for the good of his family. But when he finally confesses to Skyler that he really did it all for himself, to make himself feel good and better about himself for his own selfish reasons, he not only confessed his true nature to her, he also relieved her from any guilt she still felt for being the cause of it all. While she got sucked into his world, it was to me a lot like the classic co-dependent wife of an alcoholic – she goes along to get along and gets sucked into his madness, thinking that she can control it or that she is ultimate the cause of it. (And yes, I know what that’s like as my now my ex-husband (20 years of marriage) is an alcoholic but very thankfully sober and in AA and coming up on 30 years of sobriety and now today is one of my very best friends).

Walt is of two minds. He also did it all for his family. But last night he was finally admitting his own selfish motivations too. That he liked it all (the meth making and all the drama that came with it) and felt alive like he never had before. Walt did it for himself and his family.

I’ll take the money and run. I despise meth and other drugs but if Walt didn’t make the meth for these morons to consume, someone else would like the Mexican cartels who Gus eased out of the picture via assassination and skullduggery. Also by making meth here Walt was helping reduce our trade deficit

Todd's ringtone was Groucho Marx singing "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"!

What a great way to the highlight the creepy bizarro goofiness of Todd and the underlying absurdist streak that popped up throughout the show's run.

Anna Gunn last night, on the Talking Bad show that followed, said the expression on her face, and the motivation from which she derived her acting, was the conflict this character would have felt. Once he finally ‘got real’, she was able to be conflicted and feel both love and hate for this man at the same time. Prior to that moment it was only hate.

When it comes to meth, I'm a free trader.

I am glad Jesse lived. The Talking Bad was horrible after the show.

I bet the cops revive Walter White, he avoids prosecution, and moves to a town called Smallville, where he develops super powers. He begins cooking meth again for an organization run by Tony Soprano, who has an ex-cop lieutenant named Vic Mackey and a hitman named Dexter. The local motorcycle gang of Robotic Life Forms called Cylons supply muscle to the organization. The robots are monitored closely by an agent by the name of Jack Bauer. Unfortunately Walt’s meth causes users to become zombies, and a Zombie Apocalypse ensues, whereinwhich two Klingons named Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon rescue him from the meth lab and bring him to the CDC in Atlanta.

Baby Blue almost sounds like it was written for the show. Uncanny when you listen to the words of it.

Watched it again for the second time this AM.
