    It took a long time for me to recover

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

    I feel sick

    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

    You will not breath for an hour

    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.

    Ozymandias- even the most powerful fall...

    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.

    the best episode in history of television

    "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.

    • Trivia
      The flashback of Walt and Jesse at the beginning of the episode was the final scene that was shot for the series.
    • Goofs
      When the shooting first starts, Walt dives down in the back seat towards the floor and his glasses fall off. After the shooting stops and Jack begins talking to Hank, Walt appears in the back window of the SUV with his glasses on. With his hands cuffed behind his back, there is no way he could have retrieved and put on his glasses back on.
    • Quotes

      Walter White: [as Jack holds them at gunpoint] Hank... listen to me. You gotta tell him. You gotta tell him now that we can work this out. Please. Please.

      Hank Schrader: What? You want me to beg?

      [Walter shakes his head, tears in his eyes]

      Hank Schrader: You're the smartest guy I ever met... and you're too stupid to see... he made up his mind ten minutes ago.

    • Crazy credits
      When the opening credits begin after the first commercial break, the names of the first three actors appear in the normal sequence with normal timing. At the moment when the name Dean Norris would normally appear, the camera shows Walt looking at his own reflection in the rear view mirror. The name does not appear, and Walt turns the mirror to the side. The camera focuses in on the mirror's new reflection, an empty spot in the New Mexican desert. We then see Walt pause for several moments. Finally, as Walt begins to move on, the name Dean Norris appears on the screen.
