Jesse says go ahead and kill me as I am not cooking any more for you f****. That probably would not be his choice of words to a bunch of Feds. I can't imagine after shooting Andrea that he has just continued to cook & be caged up for another 3-4 months w/o any issues. I am sure they will elaborate on his story for those 3-4 months as I'd be surprised to just see him still in a cage making pure meth for the Nazis.

I think his angle was that Jesse assumed it was the nazis, but couldn't tell for sure since they all had flashlights shining right in his face. If you go back and watch it, every dude is standing there very still with the flashlight right over their face.

Again, I doubt it's the Feds as well, but its interesting food for fodder nonetheless.
 
I forgot how much boning there was in Season 1. Heisenberg was Walt's own personal Viagra.
 
I t looks like Marie is playing Michael J. Fox's wife in his new sitcom. So I guess she lives through the final episode and finds love after Hank.

Piggybacking on Townie's post, here's a critic's takedown of people who cheer for Walt as a hero: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/maureen-ryan/breaking-bad-reactions_b_3942905.html

Eh... That's the writer who said in her review of Ozymandias: "But in that phone call, Vince Gilligan and his writers were reminding us of who we'd been watching for five seasons. This was Walter White, as pure and concentrated as the meth he made. Here was Heisenberg unbound."

While part of that article is about fans cheering for Walt, it's mostly a convoluted way of pretending she didn't completely misread the phone call scene and the fact that he'd made the decision to return Holly already. Saying that call was only partly for the police, when making sure the police were listening was the first thing he did on the call, was a pretty embarrassing mistake for a writer to make.

Viewers see Walt as a hero because his character was written as a hero in so many ways. A horribly flawed hero, but they kept his decisions rational, his loyalty to his family absolute, and the desperation early on facing death and a future of debt and misery for his family very real. It's not some horrible offense by audiences to root for Walt while realizing he crossed a line long ago and he made his own bed. They have Flynn yelling at him that he killed Hank when the audience knows he tried to give himself up and then gave up (potentially) all his cash to save him. Is he responsible? Of course. But the metaphor of "do you reward a guy for rescuing people from a fire if he's the one who set it" is intentionally oversimplified. If he somehow set it on fire trying to save someone and it got out of hand, then yes you'd reward him. Intent mattes. The genius of Breaking Bad isn't that viewers are idiots for thinking Walt's a hero. It's the awesome blurring of the line between what's justified and what motivates people. Revenge, weakness, drugs, innocence, death, pain, loyalty... It's all over the place.

These articles telling fans how they should feel about the "bad" and "good" characters really annoy me.
 
I hope the ending is Jesse playing hungry hungry hippos w/ Brock and Mike's granddaughter

Between her and MJF's incessant squirming, I don't know how that show is going to be watchable.

Team Todd/Landry all the way

Pretty sure his name was Lance.
 
i think the landry's character from fnl makes todd that much creepier
 
Lance...Todd...whatever. He just looks like a retarded, albino version of Matt Damon.
 
Lance isn't the only FNL alum on the nazi crew. Kenny was Herc, Street's wheelchair buddy in the rehab center.

Also, lol'ing at the Randy Travis love child bit.

The song they chose for the finale teaser is called "Line of Fire" by Junip. I wonder how much, if any, input Gilligan has on the way the show is marketed, because the lyrics to the song are perfect (bolding is mine):

Convince yourself to be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall

This is a great song choice. I keep hearing that last line as "Dictates your ricin fall."
