it could have gone in so many directions and been botched.

I liked that Walt was inspired by seeing his former partner's philanthropy as a way to achieve his goal of financially taking care of his family, which got his wheels spinning.

I liked the humour with Jesse's old sidekicks in the car, and the laser pointers.

I liked the beam between Walt and Skyler in that one scene.

I loved the snap of Todd's neck.

Always knew that Stevia crap isn't good for you.

Mr. White and Jesse? Gooooood stuff!

I loved that Walt dies (been waiting for that a LONG time) and found it interesting that they were able to partially redeem one of the most ego driven and despicable characters I've ever seen. I actually felt sorry for him for around 10 seconds.

I thought they kept the tension at a good level straight through the last episode.

It was satisfying and well done - most all the bad guys got what they deserved (as pointed out)!

I would imagine that Skyler eventually dies of lung cancer.

Overall I'd rate the series 8/10 including an extra point for using Robert Forster in the final to last episode.

The first three seasons of Dexter are very good and then it kind of peter's out though some episodes are still worthy and quite good. Just becomes inconsistent.

Game of Thrones is quite engrossing as are Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, Homeland, Justified, and a few others. Pretty much all the usual suspects from the past few years have something entertaining to offer on a fairly intelligent level, just depends on your cup of chamomile. Check the archives here, there are some good discussions. I really think Walking Dead is grossly overrated.

We've been rewatching The Soprano's the past several weeks and I have to say it is even MORE enjoyable the second time around.
One of the best comedies ever, amongst it's other fine attributes!
