That doesn't make it bad. I could predict Broadchurch but it still was good tv.

BB was one of the better shows on tv possibly ever. The fact that VG and his writers picked a course which more or less logically followed from the premise is not a problem. The show stayed internally consistent.

The OP's bitching about the fact that the show didn't take the time to show Walter White's drive from NH to NM is one of the most petty gripes I can think of. That certainly isn't in the league of say Bruce Wayne's travel across the world in 10 seconds in TDKR. Maybe on VG's extended bluray disc they can have 20 hours of driving with Heisenberg. The soundtrack will be the Marty Robbins' tape of Feleena (from El Paso) played over and over again.

The last three shows: Ozymandias, Granite State and Felina were really done very nicely. I actually thought that Granite State was the best of the three. The final episode that isn't a complete pander to the audience (like MASH) is going to have problems because of the lack of permutations in the plot unless you like the Sopranos complete ambiguity and failure to close the story for the audience.

The other thing is that you have this show that is not afraid to make the consequences occur whether it be killing major or minor characters or what have you. And they ended the show on a high note and it didn't get stupid unlike Homeland is doing (by failing after the first season to get rid of Damian Lewis and his family) or the debacle that was Dexter's final season.

So I'm bothered by the complaints about this show when it is heads and tails above other shows. If it just didn't match the expectations of the OP who wanted something more (please tell us your better grand scheme of things!) fine. The praise should be significantly louder than the nitpicking.
