So what did you think?

I liked what they did for the most part.
I liked that they (kind of) brought Walt back from the edge of truly becoming evil.

On a scale of 1 to 10 - I figure it was about a 9.

And did you like what happened to Walt and Jesse?
Agree or disagree with their fates?
(I think Walt's fate was sealed, (and I agree with the ending), but Jesse's was up in the air, and I could have gone either way with him and been okay with it.)

How would you rate this TV series?

I would put it at the top of the heap, along with "The Prisoner" and "I, Claudius", myself.

I am going to miss it.

Heck I watched it for the first time ever. I have never watched any installments of 'Breaking Bad' ever......except for Sunday while AMC was having a 'Breaking Bad' marathon. So just for kicks and out of boredom I kept AMC on throughout the day and paid minimal attention to various parts of some of the episodes being played out. And for me this was a good primer to watch the final series finale episode. I guess I had enough context for the ending to make sense.

fwiw, I thought it, the finale, was good drama.
re: Walt and his attempts at reaching for some redemption. It was apparent that there could be no redemption for what he'd done. But he did tie up some major loose ends and create an exit for himself that was on his own terms. But there is no redemption for Walt.

Without answering your entire poll I will say that I know now that I've missed out on a good TV series by not having watched any episodes 'til yesterday.

Will I watch some of the re-runs? Probably not, unless I trip over a dvd set of all 5 seasons, say a few years from now when there is nothing else that seems worth my vegetative gazing.
