The front cover for this season forcefully cries: 'Remember My Name' and 'Ozymandias' unquestionably made sure that this will stand as one of the best TV Shows of all time. This was without a doubt the best hour of television I have ever seen.

This episode is a drug, you will be experiencing; nausea, fear, sickness, disbelief, an overwhelming sorrow blooming inside the very core of your being. These symptoms will leave you paralyzed and unable to comprehend this hour of apocalyptic proportions.

Still shaking and pumped with adrenaline, I solemnly vow that I for one won't forget and will be remembering the name several years to come.

The best episode ever, in the history of Television

Every scene was scripted perfectly and shot beautifully, even surpassing the standards Vince Gilligan's work has laid out in the past 5 series. I firmly believe this is Bryan Cranston's greatest piece of acting he has put on show for us...and that is saying a lot considering he has demonstrated some of the most engaging performances an actor has depicted during the show.

The emotion carried throughout this episode is on a completely new level and literally there is shock after shock...Perfection

I just have that feeling, quite a sad feeling actually... what you will witness and go through this episode..experience...has never been matched and will never be matched on another TV show. The Show is coming to an end...all I am going to do is savour it, and possibly cry

Just finished watching the episode and I'm speechless.

This was a mesmerizing and engrossing piece of television which did nothing wrong.

It was sad, dynamic, heartbreaking, full of action.

A classic Brekaing Bad episode.

I've said it before and I'm saying it now- Breaking Bad is a masterpiece and as much as I'm anxious to see how it ends I don't want it to end.

This is one of the best episode of the show full of great ones. What will happen next? Can't wait to see.

An episode that cannot be measured by scores,That's all I can say.

Like a crystal meth user, watching Breaking Bad gives me the same mix of both euphoria and a feeling of intense despair.

I watched this episode over 2 hours ago, and I still feel sick.

Heart rate: Up. Respiration: Up. Trembling: Intense Fear and anxiety: Immense. Desperately waiting and counting the hours until the next fix.

I am hooked. I am ruined. I am destroyed.

I am bad...

As I have journeyed through the series of Breaking Bad, I have nervously watched as Walt fought cancer, cooked his meth, evaded the establishment, built his wealth, lost his wealth, built it again, dispatched his foes and always prevailed. His loyalty to Jesse always seemed to prevail.

Like me, did you find yourself moving away from Walt, and heading towards Jesse, and perhaps even Hank? I think I even felt a pang for Skyler.

And now? I still feel sick

"oh my god", "holy sh*t', "fu**kk". no i haven't lost it, those are my reactions every 5 minutes through this episode. all of us have been waiting eagerly for this episode to find out what will happen after that amazing ending of last week's episode. and boy what a show! i mean after this one i can truly say that BB IS the best show ever! everything is so perfect in this episode. multiple changing points in just one episode. and when you expect that the beginning of it is amazing and shocking.. wait till you see the rest of it! i mean wawww!! the best scenes of the show are in this episode, tension rising up so quickly that other shows might do a whole season just to produce the same level of tension and i mean it! so really no one have a damn clue what will happen next, really cant wait till next week! 10000/10.

'Breaking Bad' is one of the most popular rated shows on IMDb, is one of those rarities where every season has either been very positively received or near-universally acclaimed critically and where all of my friends have said nothing but great things about.

Very few shows in recent memory had me so hooked from the very start that before the week was over the whole show had been watched, especially when for a lot of shows now airing watching one episode all the way through can be an endeavour. 'Breaking Bad' had that effect on me, and its reputation as one of the best, consistently brilliant and most addictive shows in many years (maybe even ever) is more than deserved in my eyes. Its weakest season is perhaps the first season, understandable as any show's first season is the one where things are still settling.

Actually everything is established remarkably from the very start, but once the writing and characterisation becomes even meatier the show reaches even higher levels.

"Ozymandias" (referencing the poem by Percy Byssche Shelley) is another incredible 'Breaking Bad' episode, perhaps the best episode of the fifth season and one of the show's biggest achievements. The sizzling tension and emotional impact are only a couple of truly great things and even more the rich subtlety and story advancing twists that will leave one reeling.

Visually, "Ozymandias" is both stylish and beautiful, with photography and editing that are cinematic quality and put a lot of films today to shame, where there are a lot of visually beautiful ones but also some painfully amateurish looking ones. The music always has the appropriate mood, never too intrusive, never too muted.

The writing in "Ozymandias" is a fine example of how to have a lot of style but also to have a lot of substance. The dialogue throughout is thought-provoking and tense, while also have a darkly wicked sense of humour, nail-biting tension and heart-tugging pathos. The story is texturally rich, intimate, tense and layered, with the pace of it consistently deliberate but taut.

Can't say anything bad about the acting. Bryan Cranston is phenomenal as one of the most fascinating anti-heroes, or even of any kind of character, in either film or television. Aaron Paul has never been better and Anna Gunn is affecting. The supporting cast are both intriguing and entertaining, Dean Norris giving one of his best performances perhaps of the show. The characters are compelling in their realism, likewise with their chemistry, and the episode is superbly directed.

All in all, another episode that is difficult to find fault with. 10/10 Bethany Cox

If you thought the previous episode was a shock you have seen nothing yet. This episode has at least 3 shockers each more shocking than the next. This episode is beyond un believable.

This show as I stated before has reached new heights and isn't coming back down but only going higher I couldn't have been more right. It has launched so high that the meth users on the show aren't as high.

This episode is legendary and is going to be very high when it comes to ratings. Watch this episode only after watching the episodes previous. And you will be just as shocked as me and everyone else who has watched this episode. Literally so shocking it could put you into tears.

This was one of the best TV Episodes i have ever seen. The actors are more than high class, the writing is perfect. I can't say anything bad about this episode. Well done.

This ongoing rating 1 war is just stupid. Both shows are amazing in their own aspect , and both hero and ozymandias deserve the 10. Now as too which one ranks first, that's just personal preference, i liked hero a bit more but that does not mean ozymandias drops from a 10 to a 1 for me. Try to genuinely watch both series or don't rate at all

With "Ozymandias", Breaking Bad reaches its absolute apex, a gathering of all the worst things that could possibly happen for the series's main characters and the perfect analysis of Walter White's character. To me, this isn't merely the best episode of the series – these 45 minutes of utterly tragic intensity, having my heart continuously palpitate, are what I consider to be the best thing to be ever put on screen in any medium.

In a non-stop fashion, Looper's writer/director Rian Johnson shocks the audience with gut-wrenching, jaw-dropping, and unforgettable scenes, not leaving you any time to breathe deeply and not stopping to bother you after the ending credits roll. The screenwriters of this series have proved to be one of the most talented in their business over the course of almost five seasons up to that point and in "Ozymandias", they have all the accumulated problems ingeniously falling to pieces. In one way, it's torturing to watch all the worst case scenarios arise, but it's also fascinating because of how greatly made it is. The acting is a new career-best for virtually everyone involved and the departments that don't receive their due respect too often, such as the cinematography, the editing, or the incidental music contribute a major share to the phenomenal final good as well.

I'm completely stunned at how fantastic "Ozymandias" is and I can't think of any other episode of a TV series or any other film that emotionally affected me to the extent Vince Gilligan and his crew managed to do with this episode. Breaking Bad has had its weaker moments in previous seasons and may not be everyone's cup of tea, but with "Ozymandias", it suddenly becomes a must-see for anyone who gives anything about great film- or TV-series-making.

Yes i'm talking about the Attack on Titan episodes that are high rated but are being slammed by the trolls. If you watch the series from the beginning you will connect with the characters more and thus episodes like 'Hero' and 'Assault' will make you overwhelmed, possibly cry.

The Breaking Bad trolls jumping on the hype for another series and rating it a 1/10 is petty and childish. I watched Breaking Bad when it came out and i think it's one of the best shows ever, it has to be, it's scary good.....but does that mean other shows can't show their greatness too? Why can't they? You think people are laughing at Ozymandias because it no longer holds the only 10/10 rating on IMDb? No, we are greatful that another TV show is just as good, you can't compare the two they are both completely different and excellent in their own way. I'm not going to jump on this perfect episode of Breaking Bad and rate it a 1/10 as a retaliation, why would i? It would be an insult.

If someone jumped straight to season 5, watched Ozymandias and not any other episode it would seem out of context, and possibly confusing. It's the same with Attack on Titan, watching Assault or even Hero just looks too action packed and confusing without the knowledge of the story and it's characters first.

To the trolls who hate Attack on Titan and have never seen an episode of it. Try it, you might enjoy it. If anime isn't for you then i understand but then that doesn't give you the right to rate it.

Both excellent shows. It doesn't need to be a debate.

If you want to create a competition create a poll, don't slash the episodes themselves and that goes for both Attack in Titan and Breaking Bad.

I apologise if anyone reading this doesn't know about the dilemma, yea there is a bit of a fight between this episode or even the series and Attack on Titan's 'Hero' and 'Assault' episodes and that series. I know, how unnecessary right? Both great in their own way.
