Any thoughts to why Walt left the watch on the payphone? Jesse gave him that for his 51st birthday, exactly a year ago. 

 

In Talking Bad, Gilligan mentioned two reasons:

 

1. Continuity. Walt wasn't wearing it at Denny's in episode 5x01.

2. He remembers that one of his archnemeses gave it to him and he didn't need it anymore, knowing he was going to the end game.

Really enjoyed it. I didn't doubt that it would be a bad ending. I liked when the machine gun went off they cut to Todd showing him duck below the shower of bullets. All i thought was that Jesse is going to get that bitch.

My theory was completely wrong. I don't think i got one thing right :laugh:

 

Glad they didn't put pointless scenes in either (like them digging up Hank's and Gomez's bodies).

 

The only thing i would have liked to have seen was where Walt's millions were.

Can't believe it's all over. Been a long day at work waiting to rush home and see it all get wrapped up. 

 

It ended fairly similarly to what I expected, and hoped to be honest.. I really enjoyed it. That

and I like that it leaves things somewhat open as Jessie got away, and we don't know for sure that Walter died. Unlikely they'll ever bring it back as a show I know, but nice to know the door is open!

Was good up until the post credits scene ruined it:

 

Which shows that Walt isn't dead and is now driving a logging truck in Canada.

If that happened this is how I would of reacted!

I thought it was a pretty good finale. It moved at a good pace, didn't have any useless scene's, and it wrapped up everything nicely. The acting was tremendous, but that's the norm for this show. I liked it exponentially more than the Dexter finale.

They could have easily made that two episodes, or a 2 hour long episode.

 

I don't see it working quite as well being any longer than it was without being slow and plodding along, like BSG's finale (which I didn't enjoy).

 

I felt the pacing was spot on, bringing depth and closure, tying up any major loose ends.

Great episode. A bit predictable in places, but then again, we knew all the plotlines so it's hard to see how they could add a major twist in the last episode without ruining it. Definitely left me satisfied.

Also...

 

So I'm gonna put good money on the assault rifle being intended for the

Nazi's in an attempt to get Jesse out

. Still can't figure out who the Ricin is for. Probably Lydia, who'll get it in her coffee while she tries to worm her way out of the mess.

CALLED IT, BITCH! :p

What would be cool, although it would never happen, is to have a epilogue showing how everything worked out in the end for the other core characters.

Seeing Jesse looking after Brock and Gretchen/Elliott paying the money to Flynn, seeing the outcome of the case against Skyler, etc.

Yes, a Wire-style montage sequence at the very end would have been the icing on the cake.  However, in a way, I'm rather glad the produces opted not to take this route, as it allows the viewer's imagination to fill-in these blanks regarding the characters' respective futures.

THAT SEASON FINALE.

 

I just had time to watch it today, so I have to say, Bra-F**king-Vo Vince Gilligan Bravo.

I watch the talking bad episode to right after, and the host is correct. This is one of those shows you have an emotional bond with... I didnt think it was possible but it is is. Seeing it end, and the way it did. That closure man..

 

Anyway, I think Vince needs to make another show, I will instantly support anything him and his team do. Such great work.

Oh and jessie in the need for speed movie, ######ing ballin

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By MikeK13 · Posted

      What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By WaltC · Posted

      How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons.

      I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).
