*Warning: This post contains spoilers from the most recent episodes*

I would say that Jesse is the only character we can sympathize with anymore (of the main 3). Walt started with good intentions, but over the seasons he has become more and more.. dark. He is no longer driven by saving his family (though he still considers it his reason) but by the glory, and money. While drunk he was unable to let Gale take the title of genius, and put doubt into Hanks mind just so Gale did not take the glory. He has become a bad person, in essence. He is no longer "Walt", the man we knew at the beginning of the series (though we still get glimpses), he is now Heisenberg. Gus, too, was sympathetic at points. He has children he cares about (if i recall?), and in the last few episodes we just saw the revenge plan of a man who had his friend murdered in front of him. But it feels like with this latest threat of murdering Walt's family, he is letting his humanity slip, like we saw in Boxcutter. I fear that Mike, the voice of reason and humanity for Gus, may be on his last legs - and once Mike passes we will see two men, Gus and Walt, in a constant war - with Jesse, the only sympathetic main character left, caught in the middle.

Sounds about right, I still say with the shows history it will not end the way any of us think :p

The ending was very intense...how did he know?!

Because he didn't poison the kid. He was thinking about what Jesse told him and probably figured that Walt poisoned the kid trying to frame it on him. I doubt it had anything to do with the car or Walt's presence. That was just "luck".

Wow, what a finale!

Did anyone find the last shot of Gus eerily similar to that of Arnie in T2?

Some questions though:

What happened to Mike?

Where will the story go in Season 5?!

And finally:

Does Walt's relief at Brock's recovery and the close-up on the 'Lily of the Valley' plant in the closing shot mean that Walt poisoned him after all?

Man, lots of questions, but I guess that's the sign of a great show!

Yes! but I guess they where going for that sort of look!

Some questions though:

What happened to Mike?

Yeah I miss Mike, He was very interesting and secretive I hope he returns.

And finally:

Does Walt's relief at Brock's recovery and the close-up on the 'Lily of the Valley' plant in the closing shot mean that Walt poisoned him after all?

Man, lots of questions, but I guess that's the sign of a great show!

Yes! He did, so Jesse could finally step up to Gus.

What happened to Mike?

It was stated in Episode 11 that he can't go back for at least a weak. As far as I'm concerned, Vince Gilligan didn't want him killed off so he made up this plausible reason for him to be off-screen and not by Gus' side.

Does Walt's relief at Brock's recovery and the close-up on the 'Lily of the Valley' plant in the closing shot mean that Walt poisoned him after all?

Yes, he poisoned the kid. That's what the scene with Walt and the gun in Episode 12 was all about. Notice how the third time he turns the gun it ends up pointing at the plant. Then, in Episode thirteen it's the exact plant that got the kid poisoned. Furthermore, that time when Walt visited Jesse (and got tasered by Gus' henchmen at the end), he was looking at the kid and his mother.

I am utterly speechless after the episode. What an incredible ending. The CGI and acting was fantastic. The part where Gus adjusts his tie after the explosion. This show has to win more awards.

I'm just wondering where they will be taking the show for the final season. I think it has to be along the lines of Walter covering his tracks while the show ties up any loose ends but my friend thinks that with the poisoning of the kid, Walter now driving a car which blends in that Walter is turning into Gus. I cannot wait to find out.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
