I still think the show should have had walt wake up in Malcolm in the middle.

 

 

Finally watched the finale and I'm so glad it went out like it did rather than the crap that was Dexter.

 

Ya Dexter made me want to Vomit.

 

All I have to say about the last season of Dexter is ....

This may have been mentioned in here before, but New Hampshire's state moto (seen on the license plate in season 5 episode 1) is "Live Free or Die". Jesse got to Live Free and Walt got to Die. Foreshadowing anyone?

 

After thinking about the finale for a while, I do think that the show didn't really go out being bold, it was safe exit, if that makes sense. They wrapped it up maybe it a bit too nicely?

The New Hampshire thing could be interpreted a few ways, generally the choice of Walt staying in / coming back to New Mexico, or being in NH.  If he stays, he and his family may die -- if he lives, they can live free of Heisenberg.  Walt coming back sealed his death quickly (instead of months from now, living "free" from the DEA / FBI in NH).  Or sort of as you said, Jesse gets to live free (of the Nazis, and of Heisenberg), or he would've died in captivity.

 

I'm sure it meant something, but the Sopranos did it first :p

I'm glad it didn't go too over the top, but i'm slightly disappointed by Walt's death it could have been a little more dramatic, it was too random, and sudden.. but it was also beautifully done in that he died where it all started, in a meth lab. and even though he became the villian he was still a character you felt emotion for and deep down was a good guy, so to give him a horrible death and to leave it at that wouldn't have been a very nice way to end the show.

Who else besides me giggled and clapped after that scene and then backed it up, turned the surround sound up louder and watched it all over again.

 

I screamed a loud "YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!" that had the rest of the family wondering what the hell was going on

Rewatching the Finale once again, just one thing annoyed me though. Walt spiking Lydia's tea with Ricin. To me it was just a faster way to get rid of it story wise, but he never actually spiked it. I mean, if he did, how would the Stevia package be sealed again? Heck, if the package was a little bit open, would she notice all the sugar/ricin on the table? I mean she was really flinging it around before she actually got her tea. 

 

Say if Walt did manage that to re-seal the package, how would he know Lydia would sit at the exact same table? Or maybe someone else would go to that table before Lydia got there?

 

Otherwise, it was a perfect ending. That was the only part that annoyed me.

There were quite a few more things like that. How did he know the nazis wouldn't check his truck? How did he know all of them would be in or in front of the room? What if they went in a house that had a halway facing the car so there were double walls between the car and the gang? There were plenty of things you could pick apart, and I think that after some time passes and people objectively look at the show again it will be more obvious (just like some other flaws seasons 4 and 5 generally suffered from and most people overlook), but personally, it worked just well enough for me to suspend my disbelief. I mean, it wasn't insultingly stupid and unrealistic like some of the stuff in the last episode of Dexter, so I let it slide.

Walt has been to see them a few times before, so he would have know the security precautions they usually take, where they would meet and the distribution of the gang.

    • 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.
    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By WaltC · Posted

      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).
