I agree with Del and Miriel. The finale was a solid episode overall, but was very neat and tidy for a Breaking Bad episode ("conventional" is a good way to describe it). Everything worked out better than I expected it to, and there were no real shocking moments or twists. It was a little anticlimactic.
When Skyler said "Five minutes," I got chills. When Walt tackled Jesse, I did a little butt jiggle. And when Jesse killed Todd I did a significant butt jiggle. I'm satisfied.
Yeah, concur with "not everything needs a twist". This isn't M. Night Shymalan's Breaking Bad and thank god for that.

I just finished watching this season, and I thought the ending was great. Walt got his catharsis and Jesse got to drive off to freedom. The whole series was incredible, so I didn't think they needed to do anything more for the sake of being stunning or edgy.
There's just one thing...

It didn't need to have a twist. Hank dying wasn't a twist but it was still jaw dropping and heartbreaking.
I just thought it could have been more intense or more dramatic. I guess I wanted it to be more emotional than it was.
I also don't think that having a different ending would have been done for shock value. There's a lot of different ways this could have gone down. And ultimately, it went down in a more quiet way that I would have expected. Walt gets accidentally hit by a stray bullet and bleeds out. Anyone who says that this was the only way to end the series is kinda bonkers imho.
Like I said, it was fine. There was nothing wrong with the finale. But it didn't have the emotional impact I was hoping for. Which maybe was the point? Walt was spent and exhausted at the end. So was Skyler. So was Jessie. All the grief and outrage and scrambling happened before the finale. I was super tense going into the finale, totally wired up expecting some intense roller coaster. And it felt a little like I was coiled up for nothing. Instead, I should have been more prepared for a mellow, winding down kind of ride. Which if someone had said to me months before was how the series would end, I wouldn't have believed them.
I'm not surprised that people are satisfied with the ending. It was very satisfactory. Bad guys we wanted to die, died. People we wanted to see set free were set free. Resolutions we wanted were had. But I am surprised by the number of people who seem to think that this was the only way it could have ended. I wonder if people would have said that regardless of which scenario they chose to end the series.

I would have preferred that he died of cancer, personally. The catalyst that started this should've taken him out.
Miriel, who are all these people who think that there was only one way to end the series?
I would have actually preferred if he got shot in the lung. Double own.
Same. In fact I was sure that's how it would go down. A stray bullet isn't a fitting enough death for Heisenberg!
