it was hard to see jesse standing there at the end in full shackles. hair all long and messed up, it looked like he had his soul beaten out of him, like a dog thats been beaten a bunch of times...so when walt mows them all down i was glad jesse got to do todd himself with his bare hands. i mean walt more or less made jesse kill gale since it was the only way out of a situation that walt got him into. if he hadnt of ran over the 2 dealers jesse would have been shot, could of died and that would have been it. walt could of kept cooking.
i did feel it was a little rushed, but since everyone who was super big into the show, myself included, knew the background info on for example, when and where walt got the gun, the ricin he hid, and so on, it made it cool because gilligan took the time to square up every detail. when he breaks into gretchen and elliots i thought for sure he was doing something evil, like recording the convo, taking pictures, anything to cast a huge shadow on grey matter technologies, since its a publically traded company allegations of business ties to a meth king pin would be bad to say the least, esp bc they wrote the 28mil grant to help fight meth abuse, it would make it seem like they are trying to cover themselves. as for walt himself, the feeling i got from the last scene was he wasnt with the meth per se, but the actual chemistry that he loved so much.
it was great tho watching walt cap jack in the face with his own gun. just as it was immensely satisfying for walt to watch jesse kill todd with his bare hands. like he gave jesse the revenge he needed. with all the evidence in uncle jacks neo nazi compound id think they could figure out walt wasnt the one cooking for them, and that jesse or who ever was doing it. between the dog collar rig in the lab, the shackles, walts dead body and building that looked like it had literally been sawn in half with a machine gun. marie even tells skylar that nh police thought walt had stolen the car, and was headed back to nm. when walt looks in the rear view and says just get me home and ill do the rest, it kind of become clear walt had no intention of living after that day, since he wouldnt be living on his terms after that point. i also liked when he kind of terrorized gretchen and elliot and he tells them cheer up beautiful people, nows your chance to make it right.
so on a side note, what is the thought on this need for speed movie with aaron paul? i also noticed the counselor has dean norris in it. cormac mcarthy stuff is usually pretty cool, so im def in to see that. as much as i like aaron paul, im not really feeling the need for speed thing. i think hes kind of pigeonholed. give him something cool, not just a movie that really anyone could star in. weve seen how versatile he can be as an actor. who knows tho, maybe its really good...im not ruling it out, but on first looks alone id rather see the counselor.
