*Spoilers* – Don’t read if you don’t want the final episode ruined.
It was a great ending to a great show. I really enjoyed it and have really nothing to complain about, although if I had to say something negative I would say that it had a little too much closure for the type of show it was. I mean, in one single episode Walt had some sort of closure with the grey matter founders, was able to set up his family with the money, saw his wife, son, and daughter for the last time, finally admitted the truth to his wife (“I did it for me”), Lydia gets killed by the ricin, the neo-nazis get slaughtered, Jessie kills Todd, Jessie gets set free, Jessie and Walt come to some sort of reconciliation (although I’m unsure if Jessie not shooting him was truly a ‘fuck you’ moment or if he kind of felt sympathy for Walt since he knew he was dying-I’m guessing a mixture of both), and then a poetic death for Walt just before the cops bust him.
I’m not complaining. It was all awesome. It was one of the best finales I’ve seen of any show (Six Feet Under still has the best, IMO), and I’m sure this show will always be among my top 5. It just seemed a little too neat for such a gritty show.
