HOLY CRAP THIS EPISODE.

Nothing has made me hate Todd so much as this episode. Grrrr. Lydia why are you even dealing with these assholes who do shit that's illegal in your own damn country??????

AND POOR JESSE. :'( ALL THE FEELS.

And now to the finale! Walt's got the DEA distracted with NH, so presumably he's headed back to NM with that barrel o' cash and he's ready to kill Ricky Hitler and his friends. Can't think of a more deserving target.

Where are the promised 75 minutes? The episode was as long as any other.

[nausicaa83]

Yep, wasn't the episode 53 minutes, as always? I thought it was going to be longer, but maybe I was wrong, and they only meant the final episode...

[hanfastolfe]

No, the older eps are ~45 minutes minus commercials. This one was ~55.

[nausicaa83]

Wait, my bad, I found the reason why.

At 75 minutes with commercial breaks, the final two episodes of "Breaking Bad", titled “Granite State” and “Felina,” should each pan out to about 60 solid minutes of drama.

That makes sense.

Poor Jesse. How's he going to get away? I'm glad he's not dead, but I don't see this ending well. Todd's keeping him around cause he cooks better, but how long will uncle Jack let that go on? Todd brought him ice cream, so he does like Jesse, but I don't think that'll stop him from killing him.

How creepy was Preppy!Todd meeting with Lydia at the diner? Ewwwww. . .

Best case scenario: Walt will go back and kill Todd and those other assholes and save Jesse.

Worst case scenario: Walt and Jesse both die.

It's going to be a rough week for all of us imagining the awful ways this could end.

Oh yes, I totally want Walt to waste the Nazis, heh. It's kind of sad that at the very end "Heisenberg" is only a shade less evil than those assholes.
