I have been an avid IMDb user for over three years. Rarely will I watch movie or show without first reading IMDb user reviews. Having said that, I never wrote a review until this one, because I never really felt the need to. But after watching this episode, I need to talk about it, or at least just write about it. I feel lost and alone, much like how I imagine Walt felt in his cabin. Spoilers ahead.
Last weeks episode was what this entire series was building up to, and in my honest opinion the single greatest 46 minutes in television history. This weeks episode is the aftermath of it all. I won't go into much details of it as you should experience it all for yourself. This episode felt like the writers were giving the viewers a hug for having taken this journey with them. So many scenes hold such a deep emotional connection to the entire series; you had to have seen it all to understand it.
I found my self standing and unable to breathe watching Jesse attempting to escape. I felt as I was rooting for someone I actually know to escape from that type of situation. The reason many think this is the greatest show to ever grace television is the strong bond many of us feel with the characters. They have been written and acted in such a way, that many times they seem real and the situations they are in feel real. Watching Walter ask the relocator to stay with him was one of the most guy wrenching things I've ever seen. He did this all for his family, and his entire world has collapsed and all he has left is himself and his money.
The last 5 minutes of this episode might be the best 5 minutes of the entire series. It's the show coming to a full circle; Walter white sets out to break bad one last time because of the reason he started down this road in the first place(grey matter). The background breaking bad theme music playing was absolute perfection.
I found m self in tears and emotionally drained as the credits began to roll. Thank you breaking bad for having taken me on this journey. I don't know how I will cope with the series finale.
Ps. I still want Walter to win in some way, I always have.
