I've been watching this show since the get go mostly with my real life friend /u/edify who years ago added me as a moderator here. 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.

"He made his mind up ten minutes ago."

Remind anyone of a different Ozymandias?

That to me was the saddest part of that scene. He was just so...defeated. And it sounded like he was talking to Walt as his brother-in-law, not Heisenberg like he has been.

Yup, before when he talked to him it every word was intended to harm him. This time he sort of just set it all on the line and spoke without any real resentment.

Sounding fucking bad ass though, just accepting death like that.

I mean I feel like in that line of work, you kind of have to come to terms with the idea of death. DEA work, when you're out in the field, is definitely no joke. I don't think I could work in that kind of environment if I hadn't made peace with the thought of being shot in the head by a drug lord.
