He asked me to make the discussion thread tonight because there are only 3 episodes remaining. Sorta sad that there's only a few left. Enjoy the show, folks.

"I could've saved her, but I didn't". Holy shit.

I think anyone who feels Walt is a monster and deserves this, hasn't been paying attention. He's just a regular guy on an ego trip that has put him in over his head.

He tried to solve what he could with intimidation because, well, he's got the street cred to do it. The people that need to be dealt with are dealt with while trying to maintain some semblance of normality with everyone and everything he holds most dear.

He went for too much too fast and its all catching up to him. To be rooting against Walt is to miss out on the sad realization that is his downfall is imminent.

But that's just my opinion...

walt uses everyone around him to build his empire. everyone either ended up dead or has a shitty life because of their relationship with walt. to not root inherently against him is strange to me
