And now we arrive at the end, “Felina”. I had such an awesome time at our Breaking Bad finale party, that it didn’t even sink in until my private rewatchings at home how bittersweet it was. Walt falling dead in the arms of his lover; science, chemistry, even meth, after having finally provided for his family, made peace with his wife, and freed his partner… it was pretty intense. A lot of people, critics and fans, have quibbles about the pacing, the plot, the neatness of it all, but to me, it was a love letter from Vince to us. Like Batman to Gotham city, “Felina” perhaps wasn’t the ending that Walt, and by extension, us, deserved. But it was the ending that we needed.
Join us in this episode as we begin our saying good bye to this old friend of ours. We talk ricin, laser pointers, football shaped heads, unrequited love, the futures of the still-living components of the White family and associates, Jack’s obsession with the word “partner”, your feedback, your voicemails, and much much more.
But wait! There’s more! Next week we will return for the last scheduled time, to wrap up the cast. We’ll do a final tally of our predictions, we’ll let you crow about yours, and consider anything you want to say about the final season and Breaking Bad as a whole. The Walking Dead is coming up next, and so is the Watching Dead, and wouldn’t you know it, we’re doing a Kickstarter to make our coverage more awesome. Please, please check out our video if nothing else, I’m super proud of the work my partner, good partner, hard working partner, 50/50 partner, Jim did on the it. I can almost promise you’ll laugh.
As promised, a link to Alex C’s Breaking Bad / Need For Speed Mashup. It’s pretty fucking funny.
