I don't think he wanted to be a "good member of society", it seemed to me that he wanted to be in the criminal/drug business "inner circle". He grew up watching Scarface, Goodfellas, Casino and wanted all that glitz and glamour and once he saw how the business really goes he just wanted out out out!

But his misguided loyalty to Walter kept pushing him back in and thus we have one of the most tragic arcs ever in TV!

I'm still rooting for Walt. I for one, don't see him as this evil psychopath that so many others do. He's an ego-maniac and has done a lot of messed up shit, but he still did things for what he believed were the right reasons. He does love his family, and he did love Jesse. He's paid the price for the sins he has committed, but there's some good in him as well, even at this stage.

Jesse will be the only guy making it out of the last episode alive, IMO. He'll finally find his way out. Walt has no chance......although the way this show's written don't expect things to go to plan. I still - yes - still see Walt and Jesse helping each other out in some way before they both try to kill each other....again  :lol

Todd is a complete sociopath! I don't think there's any doubt about that!

Someone needs to put Jesse out of his misery.

Yeah, Todd is the definition of a perfect sociopath.

As for Jesse...yeah, he too needs to be put to death, but his misery is well-deserved. Anyone that thinks he's getting out of this at all is setting themselves up for disappointment. Either that, or Gilligan is going to contradict his statement of "Saul is the only one getting out alive", in reference to his cockroach-like life. It wouldn't be the first time someone straight up lied about something that would happen in their show. But I don't think he's bluffing, Jesse is simply getting his comeuppance, just as Walter is. It's pure naivety for anyone to think that Jesse is somehow more innocent simply because of his intentions. As the old saying goes...the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Jesse is fucked. Walter is fucked. They fucked themselves. Fucked themselves REAL GOOD.

Even so, I can't help but feel a slight inkling of pity for Jesse. That is to say, I did right up until his stupid, moronic, empty, rotten motherfucking brain decided to grab his tiny little balls and stand up to Todd/Jack and co. I honestly screamed at the TV at that point because I KNEW what was going to happen. It was so fucking obvious. HE HAD ANDREA'S PICTURE, TAKEN BY TODD/JACK!!! Fucking moron. He killed them. He might as well have pulled the trigger. In my eyes, he killed them just as he killed Gale. Anyone disagreeing can outline how the fuck he didn't know that they'd kill Andrea...UGH :censored :censored >:( FOOL. Oh, and Andrea is just as stupid for walking out there, knowing what Jesse does (even partly), just opened herself right up to that. Again, FOOL. But as for Walter...I'm reveling in his soon-to-be self-cremation. That motherfucker needs to burn. But not before Jack and his gang...I really hope Walt gets to use that massive weapon on them. I'd love a classic, almost-cliche firefight death.

Yes.  :metal The show has ingeniously alluded to other moments of the show on numerous occasions. Gilligan and co. are amazing.

Honestly, I'm even more excited to see what he does next, as I am going to watch this man's work until he dies. This show is one beautifully woven puzzle.

I got preliminary approval to co-teach a class on Breaking Bad with a criminologist and a psychologist.  If this gets final approval, I'll feel like I'm robbing the school for part of my salary, because I'm going to enjoy this way too much.

I would so take that class.

I'm so excited for this finale. I don't even want to make predictions because I know whatever is in store is the best route to go. So pumped.

Been sick this last week and just getting over it. During my downtime, I decided to give the show a shot and see what it was like. I can't believe I watched every single episode in 5 days and just now finished ep 15. My whole head transformed into the Eye of Sauron and I'm fixed on Sundays date on my calendar.

This Breaking Bad marathon is way too awesome.  This is like the week back in July when I first dove into the show: if I am home and awake, I am watching the Breaking Bad marathon. :lol :hat

1)Walt kills Jack's gang.
2)Jesse kills Todd for revenge.
3)Huell kills Dumbledore.
4)Walter donates money to Elliot.
5)Walt Jr. kills Walt.

At least one of those will happen.
Maybe not 3.

Best show ever, yes.  Even though loose ends we're tied up, I think the finale left a lot to be desired.  Largely it was too predictable, especially in a show where predictable was not the norm.  At least that's my initial feeling.
