so did Walk poison Brock ? i mean they make it seem like he did, he has done some crazy stuff these past few seasons. i just wouldnt imagine him doing something like that to a child and also we never found out what happened to Jesses ricin ? i really hope they answer all these questions next season.

Yes that was the closing shot.

[Show spoiler] from what I saw the reason he did it was to get Jesse away from gus, because eventually he'd be on his way out.

Yep, but that shows you how lost Walt really is. I know you do anything for your family, but that is something you just can't risk. GOod move and great writing, but it will come back to haunt Walt somehow next season. Or maybe not. Maybe we were just show that last scene to see who Walt really is now. That we should not feel sorry for him.

Just not sure where it goes from here

[Show spoiler] it meshed so seamlessly from drug lord to drug lord, now from gus.. Who knows

[SleeperAgent]

I seriously think that would have been a perfect series finale. No idea how they are going to do one more season and wrap it up so nicely.

Yeah, you'd think that would have been a fine ending lmao. Just don't see a way you can re-introduce another

[Show spoiler] dealer/kingpin

in just a single season.

Unless of course

[Show spoiler]Walt just decides to take over the business.

He couldn't even figure out how to use a gun this past season,

[Show spoiler] now he'll be getting all gus' connections to become a drug kingpin

That's most likely going to be the scenario. The tension will most likely come from Hank and Jesse.

The only problem with that is

[Show spoiler] they've spent so much time showing what a fool he is when it comes to business, so now he's going to just have an empire or something , having some friend of gus take over is more rational then that.

[Newport, Ohio]

Wow, just wow!

Definitely an interesting final season brewing. So far Walt has only killed drug dealer's/bad guys, now he's

[Show spoiler]risking killing a child? I think his last line to Skyler explains it all, "I won". His ego may have finally taken over and he may fit into that drug lord role well. If that's the case, would they have Jesse be the hero who finally ends Walt's run to the top in the grand finale (perhaps with an emotional scene of Jesse tearing up while he shoots Walt)? They can go a lot of different ways with this, few are good for Walt in my opinion.

Can't wait until next season.

No, they've spent time showing that he is in way over his head when it comes to the people he's up against - Gus and his crew. They're gone. At the moment, he is on top of the drug market. He has nothing to worry about - except for Mike.

He has no distribution, and they covered that with him and Jesse trying to do it themselves with their own dealers

From Vince Gilligan,

[Show spoiler]"I like not nailing things down completely. I like letting the audience ask those questions. But ... yeah, I mean, as far as I'm concerned, he did poison Brock."

As for the Ricin,

[Show spoiler]he also confirmed that Huel lifted the ciggarettes off of him.

[Wally Q]

Oh hey, guess I was right about Walt after all! And if you notice, he was relieved that the poison was being treated and Brock will recover after all. That sight of relief confirmed he definitely poisoned him before the final reveal.

Poor Gus never saw it coming. Am I the only one who was remorseful of the fact we were witnessing his final moments when Gilligan held the shot on him in the car and all the emotion he was displaying... he was nearly in tears and could barely contain it. Made me want one flashback before he went inside.

As for Ted, he wasn't as important, so I don't really care...but I feel like we need something more on him. Wouldn't really bother me though...but if we don't hear from Mike again, I'll be so upset.

Great finale! There was a spoiler pic of the "Big" moment tonight. Glad I didn't look before the show!

The very ending was shocking as well. I didn't think there was any way Walt did it.

Teds dead baby... Teds dead.

[Allforce]

I don't see why Mike would even care, he's a hired goon, a hitman, a merc for hire, loyal to the highest bidder. He's good at what he does and will find the next job and move on. There's no grudges in that business, death is expected and paybacks are worthless.

About the poison,

[Show spoiler]don't forget it was last episode that saw Walt spinning the gun on the patio table, once, twice, and the third landed on...the plant. It's a common plant in the southwest and as Jesse explains just as common for children to become poisoned when they eat the sweet berries.

I really wish the series had ended with last nights episode but I suppose there's some interesting avenues to look into. The DEA isn't going to stop their investigation and Walt and Jesse's hands are all over a lot of it, so I can see that being the tension between Hank and Walt throughout.

He beat the **** out of Walt for bothering him about Gus. Gus was a form of income for Mike. Yeah, he's going to care.

EDIT: I find it doubtful that he'll be back for some revenge, but I can definitely see Mike being a problem.

[KubrickFan]

Wow. Just... wow. I was enjoying every minute of this, and dreading every minute, since it would mean getting closer to the end of the season. I was actually convinced that Walt didn't poison Brock, so that came as a shock to me. It'll be interesting to see the continuing downfall of Walt in the final season.
Gus being blown up, and walking out again (for a moment I thought he was still alive, for some reason) and that face! Damn. Hector finally got his revenge, and that moment was acted incredibly well by Mark Margolis. It's no small feat to act primarily by facial expressions, and pressing a bell, but the moment he let the bomb go off, he had the most terrifying expression.
Vince Gilligan already said the last episode could also be used as a series finale, because they didn't know at the time whether they could continue the series. I agree with that. It could figure as a sort of closure, but of course the story has to continue. What's going to happen with Mike? Will the investigation continue? Will Jesse find out what happened with Brock?

And, as an aside, did Jesse ever find out what happened to Jane? It's been a while since I watched that particular season, and I can't remember.

[Allforce]

Wow just spoil it all why don't you not even 24 hours after it aired.
