'Breaking Bad' Final Episodes Recap - Ozymandias

Phenomenal.

There are just no words to describe how utterly fantastic last night's Breaking Bad was.  Even though there are still two episodes left, Ozymandias (as it was appropriately titled) was the culmination of everything that's been building up for five seasons now:  when all the shit finally and completely hit the fan.

It's hard to even describe how incredibly iconic this show has become, but the fact that for such an important episode everyone involved - from the cast to the crew - hit it completely out of the park.  This was the one where you could only dream everything hit on all cylinders, but sure enough, it did.

At this point it really doesn't make any sense to go through in detail what happened in the episode because if you were watching, your eyes were pretty much glued to the screen anyway so I'll just cover the important points.

Hank's death:

Wow was that powerful.  You could see all the good still in Walt as he begged and pleaded to save his brother-in-law, who only moments earlier had him in handcuffs yet still wanted to save his life.  But as Hank said, "You're the smartest person I've ever met in my entire life, but you're too stupid to realize, he made up his mind 10 minutes ago."  The acting talent Bryan Cranston displayed in that moment...heartbreaking.

Walt finally telling Jessie about Jane:

Finally, he knows.  I don't think this was a plan by Walt more so a way to hurt Jessie the worst way possibly besides being killed.  Being told your girlfriend, who overdosed, could have been saved, but decided not to help.  Live with that one.

Walter Jr. finally learning the truth:

We knew this was coming, but it's about time the kid learned the real deal about his father.  Even in the short time they were all back at the house, you could see Walt Jr. still wanting to believe in his dad, until...

Skyler finally turning on Walt:

The knife or the phone, what will be chosen?  Skyler finally went after Walt for all the bullshit he's put her through over the past year, and poor Walt Jr. having to save him mom then call the police on his father.  This was the moment where Walt realized his loving family...is no more, and hasn't been for a long time.

Walt's phone call to Skyler:

This showed that no matter how bad a person Walt has become, he still has the best interest of his family in mind.  Knowing the cops are listening and exonerating Skyler of anything to do with his crimes.  That smart sonofabitch did this all while telling her off.

What happens next week...I have not a damn clue.
