I've been making notes since this half started & here is everything at once:
9/11 So…we are
now more than half way through with the final season & each episode is
better than the previous one so I can’t even begin to fathom where this show is
going to take us in the last quarter. Over
the weekend I re-watched the first half of the season to see if I had missed
anything because I always miss things but nothing that would give the end away
stood out to me. This show always does
such a good job of surprising us & that’s what I love, it’s so far from
predictable & that’s one of the main reasons I love it so much. The writers are freaking geniuses…I always
wonder “did they always have this in mind or did it just unfurl like this?”
When I watched Walt’s confession video my jaw was on the
floor…I mean, did a writer just out of the blue say “we’ll do a confession
& pin it all on Hank, it’s perfect, he doesn't know about the medical bills
or anything” or did they know back when Walt & Skylar offered to pay for
the medical bills that they would use it here?
As a writer I often ponder these things & know that while actors
bring writing to life it’s the writers who tell the true story & the
writers here have never once missed the mark…not one season, not even one
episode has ended & left me thinking “that was lame”. There are so many TV shows that I watch, I
mean hundreds every year but Breaking Bad is by far the best drama that has
ever been on television in my opinion. There are a lot
of dramas on TV that I don’t watch but even when I ask people who watch some of
them that also watch Breaking Bad none of them compare. People rave about The Newsroom & Homeland
but they still like Bad better.
This season is killing me & honestly I thought I’d be
pissed that the show is ending but I’m perfectly OK with it…I’m not happy it’s
ending but I’m happy that it’s ending at the right time. I mean, I watched The X-Files, Weeds, The
Office, 30 Rock, Glee & so many more that I had to give up because they
were overstaying their welcome in my house but this show, it’s stayed exactly
as long as it should.
So anyway, back to the show…personally I’m going to guess
that Hank is dead & most likely so is Gomez but I feel like Jesse will make
it. Due to the insane gun fight at the
end of the last episode I’m now thinking that in current time Walt is back in
town with a trunk full of guns & picking up the ricin to kill Todd &
his crew as revenge for killing Hank. If
Jesse ends up dead at the end of the series I will most likely cry, I've been
rooting for him since episode 1 & sadly part of me is still rooting for
Walt even though he’s such a dick, he’s killed so many people & has become
a completely different person. I also
had a hard time accepting that Jesse is working with Hank & that he would
turn Walt in even though Walt has done so many awful things to him but still,
deep down I thought “traitor”.
9/17 Well…Hank
most definitely is dead & what a kill that was & now him & Gomez
are lying in Walt’s former money hole in the middle of the desert. Even though I knew that was all coming it was
still hard to take, I will admit, I covered my eyes when he killed Hank & I
covered them again when they were about to kill Jesse. That whole scene in the dessert was very hard
to take…when Walt collapsed in agony over what happened with Hank it was like a
punch in the gut & I hate to even say it but I felt bad for Walt that he
lost Hank even though it was ALL his fault.
I’m sure Walt blames Jesse for everything that has happened & that’s
why he wants him dead…there is no way that Walt is going to take any
accountability for anything. When Skylar
asked about Hank & said “you killed Hank?” & Walt said “I didn't do it”
like that makes it OK & I think he honestly thought that Skylar would let
it go! I was happy that Jr. finally
found out the truth & also happy that Walt called the house & laid it
on thick with that speech so that Skylar wouldn't be accused of anything. It was clear by the look on her face that she
knew exactly what he was doing and she was happy he was doing it & I think
at that moment she knew that she’d get Holly back.
The person I felt the worst for was Marie…there she was
telling Skylar that Walt had been arrested & was being booked & we all
knew that Hank was dead & we also knew that if Hank hadn't stopped to call
her he would still be alive & Walt would be in jail. The chips clearly didn't fall in her favor
& the fact that she heard Walt say that Hank was dead while she’s worried
about Holly being kidnapped & wondering where Hank could be, I can’t
imagine how that would feel. I've never
been much of a Marie fan but her & Hank were a good couple.
Everyone has been asking me if I’m still rooting for Walt
& I mentioned earlier that I kind of still was & felt a little bad for
it but I just pictured him in the first episode all wide eyed & excited
about making some money for his family. So when this episode opened with the
flashback to him & Jesse in the RV on that first cook and then it faded
back to the shoot-out I knew this would be the episode that changed my
mind. When Walt told Jesse that he
watched Jane die that was it because now he was just being spiteful & a
dick & trying to get back at Jesse for Hank getting killed but when it all
boils down to it everything that has happened from episode 1 is Walt’s fault
because he’s the one who started the entire chain of events by asking to go on
the ride along with Hank.
I am desperately rooting for Jesse, he’s been tapping into
his intuition a lot more as the seasons have gone on & I’m hoping that he
has come into his own by now. In the
past I think he always looked to Walt for what to do but now that he’s on a
tether like a freaking dog cooking with creepy Todd I’m thinking it’s high time
he got his head on straight & pulled another “yeah bitch, magnets” moment
out of his hat. He looks so bad, he’s
obviously not being well taken care of & is being held captive…just like
those 2 guys from the beginning of the series but Todd, unlike Walt doesn't have a caring bone in his body. Oh,
speaking of him…how creeped out were you when he said “sorry for your loss” to
Walt after Hank was killed?
So, I know I've rambled on for way too long at this point
but I still am hoping that Jesse kills Walt in the end & here’s my current
theory. Walt is back with the guns &
ricin to kill Todd, Lydia & crew & rescue Jesse but Jesse will kill him
once he’s saved. As far as Walt’s family
goes I don’t know if they are in danger or not…I mean, Walt & Todd’s uncle
agreed that they were straight but Marie still has everything that Hank was
using to build the case right? She’s
pissed & hurt too & obviously wants Walt found but we all know that he
called Saul! Obviously this is all just
speculation (my theories change daily) & while I can’t wait to see how this
will all end I don’t want it to end either.
