Yeah the most disturbing part about that episode is how Todd is kind to Jesse (giving him ice cream etc.) and starts to appear human afterall.  But we are reminded of what an animal he is during the Jesse's girlfriend scene...

 

Also it seems like something is brewing with the whole Todd/Lydia relationship.  He's obviously sweet on her, and she's all business and doesn't give a shit..  Seems like she's going to break his heart, and being the murderous psychopath he is, it won't be pretty...

more predictions....

 

1) walt machine guns the fascists...and recovers his barrels...

2) discovers jessie and helps him purchase a vacuum with a plurality of his barrels...(with Brock?)...

3) locates Elliot and blackmails him into providing for his family...with his remaining barrels...

4) turns himself in to the DEA...clandestinely consumes his ricin...and completely absolves his family of any culpability with his last 72 hours...((((less likely but maybe an option, he releases the "hank made me do it" dvd to absolve his family??))))

5) dies on his own terms...(see, e.g., youtube clip below starting at 1:30ish point)...

 

Thus, Walter's initial goal is achieved...

Really interested to see how things work themselves out.

This has been a really fascinating ride. There are NO innocent parties here (outside of maybe Flynn and Holly).

Walt has just turned out to descend to being the worst of them all.

As I have said: a morality play with no innocents; just varying degrees of guilt.

Pretty perfect ending. I don't think it could have possibly been more satisfying. I didn't want to see Jesse die, and I wanted Walt to prevail as best he could. Perverse, I know, but he went out on his own terms, saving Jesse, letting him get his revenge on Todd, and--I guess--preserving the money for his family. 

 

I'm so glad they didn't do something that might have been justified but would have felt so dispiriting, like having Skylar turn on him or refuse to let him see Holly.

highlight for spoiler:

 

 

The laser pointer thing was genius 

 

It was and I think you can safely do away with what was a spoiler, since it aired and all.  If you haven't seen the show and reading this you are should expect talk about the show in detail.  

 

 

Compare this to the ending of Dexter - which actually I didn't even watch.

 

You made the wise choice, I wish I never saw the finale of Dexter.  

 

Breaking Bad, while not the best episode, had everything you would want.  Storylines wrapped up, call back to earlier episodes, Walt's plan actually working (getting the money to his family), great resolution to Jesse (although I wish he got the rest of the money some how).

Yeah, I do wish Jesse had got to the money... but I guess he didn't really want it anymore because of how he treated his own funds going all paper boy with them, you know?

 

Wonder if he calls the vacuum guy? Maybe goes and says bye to Brock? 

 

Did anybody else think Todd's ringtone was mega-creepy?

Todd's ringtone was awesome.  I love the fact he seems to have personalize ringtone for everyone.  If memory serves Walt's was "She Blinded me with Science."  Wonder what he had for Uncle Jack?  "Take the Skinheads Bowling?"

 

Todd was a super great character, used just enough to make him form being too over the top.  I love that Jesse got to get him at the end.

Do we know he didn't get the money?  The cops didn't know the money was there so if it was hidden real well Jesse could always go back and find it.

Todd's ringtone for Lydia was the old Groucho Marx tune, "Lydia the Tattooed Lady." It was hysterical! The only false note was that dumb Todd would never have known who Groucho Marx was!

 

Actually, the song was written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg. Here are the full lyrics:

 

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?

Lydia The Tattooed Lady.

She has eyes that folks adore so,

and a torso even more so.

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.

Oh Lydia The Queen of Tattoo.

On her back is The Battle of Waterloo.

Beside it, The Wreck of the Hesperus too.

And proudly above waves the red, white, and blue.

You can learn a lot from Lydia!

 

La-la-la...la-la-la.

La-la-la...la-la-la.

 

When her robe is unfurled she will show you the world,

if you step up and tell her where.

For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree,

or Washington crossing The Delaware.

 

La-la-la...la-la-la.

La-la-la...la-la-la.

 

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?

Lydia The Tattooed Lady.

When her muscles start relaxin',

up the hill comes Andrew Jackson.

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.

Oh Lydia The Queen of them all.

For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz,

with a view of Niagara that nobody has.

And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz.

You can learn a lot from Lydia!

 

La-la-la...la-la-la.

La-la-la...la-la-la.

 

Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso.

Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso.

Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon.

Here's Godiva, but with her pajamas on.

 

La-la-la...la-la-la.

La-la-la...la-la-la.

 

Here is Grover Whelan unveilin' The Trilon.

Over on the west coast we have Treasure Isle-on.

Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the rhumba.

Here's her social security numba.

 

La-la-la...la-la-la.

La-la-la...la-la-la.

 

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.

Oh Lydia The Champ of them all.

She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet.

The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat.

And now the old boy's in command of the fleet,

for he went and married Lydia!

 

I said Lydia...

(He said Lydia...)

They said Lydia...

We said Lydia, la, la!

No, I guess not, guess best left up to your imagination.  Really the only unanswered question really, what happened to the money.

So many nice little touches. I laughed out loud at the Skinny Pete/Badger reveal. Never suspected that.

 

I watched the show with my sister and a couple friends last night, and as the little dots hovered around I said "wouldn't it be awesome if it were some neighborhood kids with laser pointers?" and when the reveal happened everybody busted up. It was excellent. One of the funniest things from this season...
