It was pretty good. I still think it would've been cooler if they went for the darker tragic ending but that kind of thing doesn't go over well with modern audiences so I guess they pretty much needed to give some Walt some small redemption and let him go out happy. Given the direction they took it I thought it was very well done, they wrapped up the loose ends well.
I did find a couple things confusing maybe you guys noticed the answers to these that I missed:
1) What was Walt's motivation for murdering Lydia? When he brought the ricin to his meeting with her previously it was to tie up loose ends and prevent his exposure right? Or am I remembering that wrong? If that's correct why would he murder her now given that he goes to the gang compound expecting to either die or get arrested?
2) By telling her he poisoned her didn't he effectively just save her? The entire point of that poison was that it was relatively slow acting and just looked like some kind of bad disease right? If she just goes to the hospital and tells them she has ricin poisoning they can save her considering it's been less than a day when she finds out...
3) How did Walt get shot? The exterior shots of the clubhouse show the MG was chewing a perfectly horizontal line like 4 feet above the floor and Walt was lying down on top of Jesse long before the gun started firing.

1) She's a total bitch and deserved to die.
2) I'm sure he, being a Chemistry genius, knows how big of a dose she had and how much time she has left to live.
3) Maybe a ricochet?

1) tying up loose ends? lydia was a threat who wanted skyler dead. walt didnt know this specifically but must have known she could be a problem.
(from a writing standpoint if she was left alive then people would know she would be an issue, because of the skyler threat, and the writers wanted all plotlines finished up)
2) ricin is incurable
3) you've got me with this one, ricochet i guess? :V

Kinda wish Walt had cooked up one last batch. Otherwise, nice conclusion to a great show.
That Need for Speed ending for Jesse was way too uncanny though. Couldn't help but laugh.

I liked Jesse's ending, it was great to see Todd get his comeuppance.

[spoiler]I also love that Walt gave Skyler the coordinates for where Hank and Gomie are buried. At least Marie will get some closure from it.[/spoiler]

It was after he had gotten the ricin, but Walt knew that Lydia was a threat to Skylar when she told him at her condo that the nazis had broken into the old house and told her not to mention the "lady from the carwash". Either way, he would have known she was a threat that needed to be eliminated.

Lydia was just a loose end and potential threat he wanted to get rid of, and learning about the threats just make it more justified to him.
welp, you're right. I watched the episode before work this morning and some things are a little out of order in my head. Thanks for the correction.

Right near the end when he was looking down longingly at something on the table I thought he was eyeing up some of the blue and was gonna take a bump and go out on a high... instead he picked up the gas mask. :/
I thought he was going to do one last batch- it would have been so fitting. What a ride though...it's amazing how a story can feel like a part of you. Now that it's over there's an empty feeling today.
damn over 10 million viewers for the finale. thats absurd. Granite State only got 6.5 or something. damn, that's incredible.
Cool thing I noticed while watching -- the song playing in the
was Ballet Faust, by Gounod.
A Faustian bargain is a deal with the devil.
Breaking Bad music choices were amazing, especially in the most recent few episodes.

remember Brock only lived because Walt gave him a lesser dose
Lydia got enough for her to be killed
The biggest surprise was that badger and skinny pete were professional hit men. If Walt had found out earlier imagine how different the series would be

If Walt made so much money from blackjack, why did he cook meth? Why didn't he just stick with the blackjack? cuz hank was suspicious of him? i think it was season 1 where walt and hank were playing cards and hank kept losing.

I really hope someone makes a video of the m60 scene and replaces all the sounds with tf2 sounds.
