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.

    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
