I don't know what the solution is, but I doubt it involves a happy ending for Walt, who is the most insidious person every to feature in a TV show.

Tony Soprano wasn't a worse person than Walter White? Why?

Walt is more cunning, conniving, more of a weasel, liar and manipulator, but I don't know about worse person.

Here's another question I have:

Why did Saul have to skip town? They had no evidence on him. It's not like Skyler was gonna rat him out. A lot of the things he did for them he could probably hide behind attorney client privilege anyway.

I think he's scared of Todd's group, Pinkman too.

I am really expecting to be let down with the finale. I hope not.

After the last couple episodes, I don't think I'd be all that upset if Walt Jr. happened to catch a stray bullet meant for his dad.

I'm probably setting myself up, but I don't know that that's possible. If something happens to either of the kids than I'd be really disappointed, but other than that everything is fair game. I was pretty pissed about the random person that got taken out last episode, but I don't see that happening again.

It's not going to be random when Jesse takes out Lydia while bitch ass Todd watches.

Bang, bang.

You're talking about Jesse's ex that was shot by Todd? Why pissed? It's just following the path already set of Jesse being manipulated by the worst possible thing that could happen to him. He's had so much happen to him, I wouldn't be surprised if he went batshit crazy.

I think that's why I was pissed. Jesse is constantly going downhill and it eventually has to stop. Plus, she was a likable character who continued to care about him and got something she didn't deserve all because he tried to escape like any one of us would have. I kindof hope Jesse makes it out of this so he can take Brock in.

I agree with all that. But it also shows how dangerous the drug trade is, and nothing is safe. Like I mentioned in a post above, Gilligan has to show that.

She got killed the same way Jessie killed Gale. In a messed up way he kinda had it coming.

Feh. Gale was never innocent. He had a naive and innocent nature to him, but he was still a Chemist turned Meth cook who knew what was supposed to happen to Walt and Jesse once he learned their technique. Brock's mom was nothing more than a sacrificial lamb.

Breaking Bad:

I keep trying to come up with the ending that would totally piss me off... What has to happen for me to say "Failed ending."

I can't really come up with anything solid though. I mean at this point anything could happen and I'd be okay with it, for the most part.

I gotta say though, I am totally the opposite of most of you. I want Jesse to die. Not because I think he deserves to die, but I think he needs to die because he is so fucked up now that he'll never be capable of a normal life. I want him put down the same way you wanted Ole' Yeller put down. Out of mercy.

But if he kills Walt first, that would be poetic.

I think pretty much everyone dies, to be honest. Maybe not the kids.

The entire last season they were all in purgatory

Ah, but Tony was like that from series one, episode one. That's why I would argue that Walt is worse. He became this character. He knew better. He became a high school teacher, what opportunities did Tony S ever have?

The only unsatisfactory ending is if Walt survives, and then leading to a movie or a sequel.

Other than that, I don't care, though I would like to see Skyler gutted.

Um, Tony actually went to Rutgers for a year before dropping out and joining the family business. So he had his opportunity also.
