I see you watched that program as well. I hated to see it go. Although, it did get a little dark toward the end.
It was time for it to end and the darkness is part of what made it great.

Weeell I was more entertained by the cooking/dealing aspect... not offing people right and left. Although, that sweeping machine gun in the trunk of the car scene at the end was sheer genius IMO.

I liked the contrast of Walter White's excellent teaching abilities to his need to use and control Pinkman like a puppet. It has lots of parallels in the machining business in my opinion... ding, ding, ding, ding....
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! :)
I liked how Heisenberg got the best of Lydia Rodarte-Quayle with her neurotic obsession with Stevia.
I loved the Gus Fring character and how he did business. How he straightens his tie after having one side of his face blown off was pure genius. For a moment you think Gus escaped death. Might be the best death scene I've ever seen.
I like how the writers **** with you and Walt goes from good to bad to good.
I wish Todd had died a much more violent death. That kiss ass mother****er deserved to die in a lot more pain. I ****ing hated that piece of **** asshole.
I like how Pinkman remembered how much joy he had making that wood box.
I liked everything about Mike Ehrmantraut.
I liked what happened to Walt's house in the finale and the scene where he says hello to his neighbor and she drops her groceries.
I liked the burned up teddy bear with one eye in the pool.... creepy.
I liked how Hank told Walter how for a smart guy he was such an idiot just before getting shot in the head.
I liked how Hank's wife stuck her nose in everyone's business and was a kleptomaniac in denial.
I like how Pinkman wasted the head chemist with a degree in the Mexico super lab. The head chemist reminded me of Cliff Huprich. :)
More, much more.
It will be interesting to see if Gilligan's next series, Better Call Saul, works. Gilligan is obviously a genius writer obsessed with quality writing.
