I enjoyed it, of course. I do think it was overly redemptive. Walt becoming self-aware that his actions throughout the series were ego-driven was too...neat. I think the show ultimately says what it has to say about entitlement and privilege less strongly because of it.
Probably one of my least favorite episodes of the entire series. Pacing felt rushed to me even at 75 minutes. But they went for the "try to please everybody" style ending, and they actually pulled it off. |

Well, that was very straight forward.

The killing of the AB involved a complex device but a straightforward execution, so the majority of the episode was the tying of loose ends. The goodbyes needn't be multiple scenes long. Personally, I think all finales create a feeling of rushing because the viewer knows the exact moment the clock runs out.

The most emotional moment for me was a father saying goodbye to his sleeping daughter.
That just about crushed me. |

I need to rewatch the entire series, but I just don't know that Walt's murder of Lydia is justified. She's clearly a sociopathic bitch who deserves to die, but I'm not sure that she's done enough to Walt in particular to justify him singling her out for the ricin treatment. Not complaining, but it struck me as a bit of a false note and pandering to the crowd.
