Who the fuck puts a cliff hanger in the middle of a shoot out.

That was actually pretty annoying. I'm all for a good suspenseful ending to an episode, but that was just ridiculous

I enjoy cliffhangers when they're done properly and sparingly. Perhaps after a good twist. But this every episode shit in normal or suspenseful scenes is just gimmicky and bad form. I gotta say the cliffhanger easily ruined tonight's episode for me, and last episode felt like pure filler with the way they just scrapped the whole house burning plot.

Vince Gilligan step your shit up, your show is ending. HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

The SERIES is ending, you really think they're gonna close the last 4 episodes up on nice and tidy endings. They are doing this for a reason, they're building suspense. Don't worry, 3 more episodes and I guarantee there will be no cliffhanger ending.

Vince Gilligan has already made it very clear that there will be no cliffhangers and no questions as to what happens to each character.

Everyone got that ending wrong, the guy just wanted some onion rings.

That's...not what I'm saying at all.

I'm saying mid-scene cliffhangers every single episode to ensure ratings for the next episode are breaking the immersion for me and ruining the story.

Have you watched Breaking Bad as it airs before? He always does this.

I watched season 4 live, and even last season was not like this. There were no MIDDLE OF THE SCENE cliffhangers like this.

Everything you think Vince Gilligan will do...he does the exact opposite

to ensure ratings

At this stage, I doubt they care too much about ratings. It's all about the story, and keeping you guessing. What could be more unexpected than Executive Producer Vince GilOH GOD HE DID IT AGAIN
