Breaking Bad's Final Eps Are Epic

Breaking Bad. If you haven't seen the show by now, I guess there's not much else that will convince you that you don't like well written, edge of your seat drama. It's free for viewing on Netflix, so it can't be a money issue... Are you afraid of the time committment? Yo, the first season is only 6 episodes! You'll be wishing that the last season had 60.

The most recent episode (SPOILERS AHEAD, SKIP TO THE PARAGRAPH FOLLOWING THIS)
with the desert gun battle between Walt and Hank easily ranks with anything in the multiplex for cinematography, but because this is between characters we all know so well, and have an investment in, the battle is jaw-dropping, and the simple cut to black RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT? Talk about your cliff-hanger. I still find myself rooting for Walt, despite where he's gone, because I sense that he knows he's gone too far, and is trying to just exit the Earth as quetly as he joined it, but it is not to be...

It is followed up each week by the pale-in-comparison 'Low Winter Sun' which I'm trying to get into, to ease my inevitable withdrawal from Breaking Bad that I will feel in 3 weeks. AMC is in trouble, as LWS is not getting traction, and Mad Men and this are wrapping up. They shuffled the well-done Hell On Wheels to the Saturday night graveyard, for tactical reasons unknown to me. It should be the follow-up show behind BB... And now rumors that "Better Call Saul" is a go from AMC gives us all hope that the well-hidden humor in Breaking Bad gets its chance to blossom. Bill Odenkirk says he'd do it in a heartbeat, and that is the saving grace for all of us come 10:01 Sunday night October 11.... It'll be an epic finale. Vince Gilligan says he cried after writing the finale.......
