How the Breaking Bad finale lied to you (and why you were so easily fooled)
Haha this would have been a cool alternate universe ending but 1. it doesn't make sense for what the show actually is 2. you got many things wrong. First off this is one of the rare reviews I've read that thinks Walt redeemed himself when in reality he did maybe 1/10000th of that. His wife didn't even touch him let alone hug him goodbye, his farewell to his son was silently watching him from across a yard. Yeah he saved Jesse but it wasn't his intention up until the moment he saw his condition in the compound, that's what Vince Gilligan said as well (adding that they took The Searchers as an inspiration for the scene). There actually WAS a guard outside the Nazi compound? He died when the gun started shooting? Maybe you missed that. Another thing is the only place Walt was out in public under the risk of getting recognized was the cafe, and he kept his head down and stayed there for approx. 2 minutes. You're saying that it's too unbelievable that a guy who rigged a wheelchair to explode a bomb inside a nursing home couldn't fill a pack of stevia with poison and reseal it beforehand? Last but not least, the final song's lyrics did not refer to Walt's love for Skyler. Vince Gilligan said it on Talking Bad as well. Walt's 'love' is the blue meth he produced, it's what he got recognition for and it's what made him feel powerful. The song literally has the lyrics 'my baby blue'. I'm sorry if I come off as rude but it's crazy how wrong you got it all. Maybe you should rewatch the show and hopefully you'd see it as a pretty convincing finale! Otherwise like I said this could be a cool alternate universe theory.— October 2, 2013 4:40 a.m.
