This episode is disturbing, is straight-up insane, it's just amazing. Unsurprisingly good.
So, where to start? First of all i have seen this episode, it was good enough, but i unfortunately think it is overrated. Ya'know it has good acting and the story is... WOW. But Really? It has (currently) 9,6/10? Thats almost all full stars. It doesn't happened THAT much in the episode, it had a weak ago 8,5/10. Thats what i think it should have instead of 9,6. If you compare this with for example the episode "Confessions" which also (currently) has 9,6/10 (which in my opinion it should have) you'll see that its a BIG difference and that this episode should have lower rating than it. Its more than one star higher since its last rating. Confessions had some action in it, but in this episode it only has that prison scene which is more ridiculous than action-full. Rest of it they are just talking (what I remember). I don't know about you but in my opinion, it is a very overrated episode. Ratings like 9,6 should be watched over and over again.
All what happens is that they are talking, cook, cries almost like every episodes. Walt quits his meth-making, Gives Jesse his 5 million dollars in cash, and thats just about it.
8,5/10

When I first heard they were doing a fifth and final season to conclude this show I was overjoyed. Not because I want the show to end but because if the journey getting there is this damn good, then the ending is going to completely melt my mind. But after watching this episode, my emotions about this show ending have dramatically changed. I now extremely loath the idea of this show ending because there is not a doubt in my mind that there is never going to be another television show that can come close to the greatness and perfection that is Breaking Bad. At least not in my lifetime. And even if you don't agree with me 100% about the show being so phenomenal, you can't deny that this mid-season finale kept you on the edge of your seat and then falling off it during the last minute of the episode. And then you were probably as angry as I was when you remembered that we have to wait until next year for the next episode.
There was a short clip in the beginning of this episode of Walt getting a cancer check..First time in forever his sickness was blurbed, even ths small, I wondered when it would come up again..Maybe he's really sick now & doesn't let on to anyone? This may sound crazy, but maybe he's dying and that's why he quit cooking? Maybe he also left the book in the bathroom knowing Hank would probably take a look at it...I saw the Americans and the neighbor pulled a huge surprise at the end..WIll this series end similarly? Will Hank let him die and keep the secret? Just a guess* yes, it's my first time through this excellent series.
Walt has now become Heisenberg and does business like never before, surpassing Gus in terms of potential and distribution! We see a Walt who wants to be the best at what he does and leaves no loose ends!
This show has always been k own for its great montages, but I think the montages in this episode remains some of the best, iconic and most memorable! Extremmely well directed and the choice of songs are just perfect!
Some great scenes with Walt and Skyler as he finally admits that he has got what he wanted!
I qlso have to talk about that shocking cliffhanger! Just when you think qll.is good and all is safe you are left like "oh...no" when the episode ends!
Amazing mid-season-finale before the emotionally devestating second half!
