ukmIt 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?
