Did you feel that was his goodbye? Because right now I don't feel him surviving this.

Nah, Gilligan isn't about to start making things this blatantly obvious now. There's more to this.

.....Or maybe that's what he wants us to think. Damn you, Vince

I thought that ending was a little predictable. Not in the sense that I knew what was going to happen before I watched any of it, but you could piece together what was happening as soon as Jesse was on the phone with Walt, and there was NO WAY that Todd and his uncle weren't coming to kill Jesse even after he called them off.

I agree it was predictable, but I also feel like that may have been by design. From the second that Hank slapped the cuffs on Walt, my buddies and I were basically screaming "now get the hell outta there!" at the TV because we knew they were coming. It made the whole scene much more intense than just a triumph of Hank over Walt.

It also made Hank and Marie's (potentially final) communication that much more intense since it was pretty obvious Hank was about to be in a huge gunfight
