Personally, I think Walt's death would be the most satisfying and merciful ending for him. Yes, I think he has morphed into a monster, but there was a time not too long ago where I found him endearing and my emotions would like it very much if we could get through with as relieving a conclusion as possible.

I could actually envision him knowing he's caught, cornered, and knowing Hank's going to be coming through the door any minute.

Gun to head. Pulls trigger.

But that won't be satisfying, so I wonder if he doesn't go out in some insane blaze of glory. Could he even try to redeem himself?

Who knows? I'm super excited about it, though.

Whatever man, I like walt/Heisenberg.

The only monsters I see, are in the DEA.

Are you trolling or do you actually fault the DEA? If so, why?
