Breaking Bad is of course the best show on TV now, and perhaps ever. This hour is the best hour of the series so far (with 2 to go).
I knew Hank would die from the voice mail he left his wife at the end of the last episode. It had a final "goodbye" feel to it. Farewell to a great character, and a fitting end it was.
Many people I think will misunderstand the phone call Walt makes to Skylar at the end... a "Bookmark" to the call at the beginning of the show (which appears in flashback). Walt isn't immersed in evil, as it seems on the surface... look deeper, listen to the words... he is freeing her from blame by 1) pretending not to know that he is being traced, and 2) painting her as the victim to his ruthlessness, all the way down to borrowing Holly for awhile to really make it stick.
The writing, the casting, the acting, the production, the care to the script, conflict... this is QUALITY TV that I hope will be copied by many in the near future. When you CARE about the viewer, it really makes a difference.
Kudos, Gilligan and the gang. Incredible accomplishment, however it ends.
