Breaking Bad came to an end Sunday night after five seasons and a total of 62 episodes. Many were very sad to see it go. The show had become a sensation over the last week where everyone seemed to be talking about it. The cast and crew were on Conan to wrap up the series, and countless shows such as Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and The Colbert Report talked about the show’s end.
The ending kept the tradition of Breaking Bad’s unpredictable twists and turns. Walter White has changed throughout the show, and the person you thought you once knew is completely different. Some still hang on to Walter and his ethics, while others now see him as a changed man.
The family that Walter wanted to keep together doesn’t seem to know him anymore. He wants to help them, and that was the reason he made the sacrifices he did in the first place. He wanted to provide for his family.
Walter and Jesse’s partnership breaks down after they can no longer trust each other. But the ending shows us that there is still a bond between them in some mysterious way. We will never be absolutely sure if Walter and Jesse ever made up.
Spoiler Alert:
Walter’s last words to Skyler are, “I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really — I was alive.” These words show how Walter can’t stop his job. Very much like the movie, The Hurt Locker, Walter’s job has become his drug.
Many wonder what the creator of the show, Vince Gilligan, will do next, while others are wondering what’s in store for Breaking Bad. Many just started to watch the show, like Zach Coughlin, a junior who said, “I’m only halfway into season two. No spoilers.”
