Breaking bad - Final Season (Contains aired episode spoilers)

[Inferno]

This sunday, it's coming. I expect one of the best ending in TV series history. I can't wait to see this !

Who watches this show ?!
What do you expect ?!

[Del Murder]

I expect Walter to die in some kind of elaborate Sonny Corleone-like fashion.

[Rantz]

They're definitely going to go out with a bang. This has been one of the best series I've watched.

[Shlup]

I don't know what I expect, but I'm excited.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Anyone wanna speculate about how it's going to end? I'm going to copy-paste what I wrote over at Fool's Gold, which got no responses

OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE SPOILERS I think Walt will live, but possibly end up in jail. He's clearly the bad guy at this point in the show, but they've made it pretty clear that the good guy is not guaranteed to win; in fact, the good guy is probably more likely to die in Vince Gilligan's version of the Albuquerque meth trade.

S05E01 shows a flash-forward of him buying an M60 and ammunition from some random black market dude. His ID card tells us that he is now using an alias and is carrying a New Hampshire drivers' license. If we assume he has left New Mexico, why would he be coming back, and on whom does he plan to use this gun?

First thought would be Declan. By S05E08 Walt has declared himself "out of the game". However, at the end of this episode Hank finally realizes that Walt is Heisenberg. This could lead Walt to flee, and since he has quite recently become the cook for Declan and his crew, it would not go over so well with them that their chemist just up and leaves. This may lead Declan to order the killing of some or all of Walt's family. Walt somehow hears of this and comes back to New Mexico to avenge his loved ones. The only reason I think this would not be the case is that I feel like the writers would like to end the series on a darker note, with Walt using the gun to kill someone generally regarded as good (such as those speculated below).

Second thought is Hank. In S05E08 Hank realizes that Walt is Heisenberg. It's plausible that Walt flees Albuquerque to escape Hank, but why would he come back to kill him? I can't put this one together, but it's certainly a possibility.

Third thought is Jesse. Walt and Jesse have been, what can be called "friends" off and on throughout the series, but Walt is not the man he used to be. He is not at all similar to the Walter White from Season 1, Episode 1. He killed Mike simply because of his absurd ego, and it's not out of the realm of possibility that he has come back to kill his former partner. Perhaps Jesse has agreed to cooperate with the DEA in the search for Walt, and he just can't allow that to happen. The whole thing would come full circle if Walt decided to off one of his former students and his only "friend" throughout this whole mess.

Others who I think have a good chance of dying:
Skyler White
Walter White, Jr.
Holly White
Saul Goodman
Steve Gomez

Red pill I'll have to disagree. (SPOILER)This is the last season, Walter has to die. He can't go to jail because it will leave an opened door for a sequel.
I'm thinking maybe Jesse's gonna be the one who has to do it.

[Tasura]

I've only seen the first season, and a little of the second. Perhaps I'll spend the next 2 days marathoning so I'm caught up.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Red pill I'll have to disagree. (SPOILER)This is the last season, Walter has to die. He can't go to jail because it will leave an opened door for a sequel.

(SPOILER)Unless Walter is given life in prison for any of the 20+ murders that he is directly or indirectly responsible for. It's ridiculous to say Walt HAS to die without even giving a reason why. Not to mention that you act as if every book/movie/TV show leaves the plot completely resolved without any ambiguity. I'm not even going to explain why that's not at all true, because it should be self-evident.

The only thing I'll agree with is that IF Walt does end up dying, it'll be by Jesse's hand. I just don't think he'll die at all

[Shiny]

Not sure what's going to happen yet as I am still on season 3. I need to catch up so no unmarked spoilers plz.

(SPOILER)No no no don't misunderstand me. A lot of series end with people still alive, unanswered questions and unresolved plots... and it's okay like that. But in this specific show, Walt has gone mad. He's never gonna stop. Personnally, I think that if he ends up in jail, it's just not enough.

I renamed this thread to be specific to the final season as it would be silly to spoiler things from past seasons at this point.

SAY MY NAME.

[Shlup]

I swear that episode was 15 minutes. Felt so damn short. I'm pumped that they jumped right into the confrontational stuff. Now if Jesse would quit being such a bitch I would be really happy.

If Walt doesn't die of cancer I'm gonna be bummed.

[Inferno]

I'd like that too. But in the scene where his house is abandonned and he has a beard, he seemed pretty healthy

[Raistlin]

Walt's arrogance is just astounding. I was irritated at first that he confronted Hank right away and revealing that he knew Hank knew, but that fits right into Walt's character of thinking he can "solve" everything by plowing straight ahead with pomp and bluster. And how would Hank not have been notified that Heisenberg had retired? The quality of meth had dropped precipitously; surely Hank would have been told that much.

Regardless, I can't wait to see what happens.
