Synopsis:
BREAKING BAD follows protagonist Walter White (Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Gunn) and teenage son (Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a slim chance to survive. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family?s financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world.

I hope they didn't let a crucial final episode spoiler in there (Cranston and Paul reading the final script meaning Walt and Jesssie have screen time together)...

Nah, last weeks Entertainment Weekly also spoke of it and said that there may be some flashbacks involved, so it's not necessarily telling that the two of them read the script together.
 
Goddammit.

See... THIS is why I get pissed when people accuse me of just watching stuff to hate it and nitpicking pointless stuff to death.

WHO CARES ABOUT A SHOOTOUT SCENE WHERE NOBODY ACTUALLY HITS ANYTHING?!

JUST PRETEND THAT THE ONLY FIRED TWO OR THREE BULLETS. THE ACCURACY OF THEIR SHOOTING IS NOT THE CRUX OF THIS SCENE.

If you wanted to complain about ANYTHING in that past episode how about.....

the somewhat weak back peddling the show is doing to explain how/why Jesse Pinkman has survived this long despite ample opportunity and cause to have him killed?

THAT'S the kind of thing you nitpick.

Making fun of a TV show for having people shoot a lot and not hitting anything?

NOW who's being snarky, cynical and critical just for the fun of it?

For shame.

What was it that Hank said to Jesse in the episode before this last one?

I dunno.... probably "WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO REASON!!!" for the umpteenth bajillion time instead of just putting a bullet in his junkie head.

my OPINION pisses you off?? lol.

"THE ACCURACY OF THEIR SHOOTING IS NOT THE CRUX OF THIS SCENE."... When each shooter shoots automatic and semi automatic weapons for a good minute or so and not one person is hit, it kinda does become the crux don't you think? And 2 of the shooters are trained federal agents, yet they can't hit even 1 of 4 shooters 50 feet away?! can't even shoot for their legs?! (or... am I the only one that would do that?) It's not like a few shots were fired at a car as it sped away (that could have been believable at least)

and don't even get me going on Walt suddenly believing that Jesse (yes, JESSE!!) figured out this plan to get his money, so Walt makes Jesse the bassmaster and he drives to the exact spot where he duried the $$. And when he got there and saw no one there, he parks his frickin' car on top of his loot, instead of, oh, I don't know, just keep driving away from your money once you know it hasn't been discovered?!! :facepalm:

To be fair.... almost everything pisses me off.

"THE ACCURACY OF THEIR SHOOTING IS NOT THE CRUX OF THIS SCENE."... When each shooter shoots automatic and semi automatic weapons for a good minute or so and not one person is hit, it kinda does become the crux don't you think?

No. Because it isn't. When people are on screen shooting at each other I understand that it's a dramatization of a violent conflict and I don't require it to resemble in any fashion a realistic unfolding of proposed events. THAT'S when suspension of disbelief is applied.

Not when characters behave completely contrary to their philosophical and behavioral norms.
 

Well, it seemed like wishful thinking that a solid season 3 would've led to a return for a 4th season, but it was not meant to be. Methinks Enos and Kinnaman have bigger and better things on their horizon anyway. Still, I'm glad I got the chance to finally get into this show last year, and despite some of its subtle annoyances in story/plotline/believability, it more than made up for it with superb performances and suspense. It'll be missed.

I agree.

Upon seeing no one was there and the money appeared to still be buried, that exact thought immediately entered my mind.
Keep driving.
You would think someone of Walt's intellect, with so much riding on it, could figure that out too.

But then, that wouldn't have led to the shootout, which will lead to...TBD.
