It truly amazes me how many of these reviews (and I just skimmed a few so maybe I'm over-generalising) seem to have completely and utterly MISSED so much of what actually happened and, more than that, so much of what this show is, and who its characters are!! I'm tempted to make a post about what I see as the major division points for viewers at the moment, but I almost think that most people here (at LJ) would be on the same page (ie. with regard to Skyler's position, Walt's phone-call, Hank in general, etc).
I think with the reviewers, some of them are much more savvy to the layers than others. With SO many reviewing, and trying to jump on all the buzz around the show, there's probably a lot of fair-weather reviewing going on. :) Since I haven't been doing this the whole run, I'm not sure who I'd recommend...
I honestly enjoy the "miscellaneous" articles the best. ♥
Usually the Huffington Post one is pretty decent, but it failed in ALL THE WAYS this week. I've read a few others that, yeah, your descriptor sounds likely, to be honest: a lot of fair-weather reviewing going on.
I honestly enjoy the "miscellaneous" articles the best. Yeah, that's definitely where I've spent most of my time. The one about a 'deserving ending' and what that actually means was pretty interesting.
(nods) So many reviewers are claiming that the stray dog at the very end represents Walt, but the director himself - whose idea it was - said it represents JESSE, that Walt is leaving Old Yeller / the rabid dog behind.

Anyway, mostly I just wanted to say thanks!

But you have to get past his constant misspelling of Skyler first!!
