I felt the ending left out one of the most evil people in this show, Jesse. I could not help but feeling Jesse portrayed the impotence of our youth. Surrounded and controlled by evil but not willing , able nor courageous enough to accept responsibility for their lives.
Very much enjoyed the ride of breaking bad. There are so few shows that catch my attention, and almost always those shows get canceled in their first season. I really like the shows that have definite endings, rather than go stale. There is another show that did this in the recent past, which was also very well written, very gritty and raw, and at times pretty dark, with many roller coaster twists. So if anybody has not seen it and wants to start another ride of a show that is one I consider of the best written shows ever put on television, the new Battlestar Gallactica is totally on Netflix streaming. 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.
Yes, most of Jesse’s behavior epitomizes the depravity of the millenials, but he also has a big heart, and is as much a tragic character as Walt. So, I didn’t mind seeing him be the last man standing.
Good point.
His evil was more passive -- just going along -- and he did have qualms of conscience. Also, he didn't really have much to do this season (or maybe even last season, too). The show was all about Walt's fate and possible redemption, and all the Jesse actor had to do was be angry and sullen and toss around the word "b*tch" a lot, which was bound to make him boring and annoying.
