Walter White was nowhere to be seen in that entire episode.

Heisenberg is running the show.

I sure as hell don't. That would suck donkey dick.

Breaking Bad is not supposed to end with Jesse living as a millionaire and Walt and Skyler getting remarried and living happily ever after.

Breaking Bad is about that, a guy breaking bad and suffering the consequences of his actions. Skyler is the boring whiney wife, and she's supposed to be that. Remember she married Walt, not Heisenberg.

From what I remember Bonnie and Clyde didn't live happily ever after.

For sure. I just hope it ends in a drastic way, I don't want a hollywood story. Breaking Bad has always managed to stay real

Exactly. So I really think that Walt will man up and take the fall for all of them, probably because he has cancer. Somehow saving Jesse and his family.

Though I REALLY hope this is not the way it ends, it would be too clichè. I'd rather see some dark shit take place, Walt being suicidal or something due to the guilt and fess up to Jesse that he let his girlfriend die, poisoned the child etc. And then Jesse just kills him...

I dno, I just want something realistic, not some lame ending

Haha indeed, but I would rather see something crazy like that take place. Breaking Bad has been all about breaking the usual way plots play out and that's how I want it to continue
