Breaking Bad | Season 5 | Episode 16 | “Felina”

Walt and his baby blue part ways.

Walt and his baby blue part ways.

After six years, Breaking Bad is finally over – a Shakespearean tragedy in five acts and one of the defining television shows of modern times. There’s little I can say below that hasn’t been covered elsewhere, though Walt probably summed it up best with his simple “It’s over.”

This episode is reviewed at Emilia Jordan and the A.V. Club, and you can read more about it at AMC and IMDb.

Random thoughts

Walt’s auto-gun (referred to as “Satan’s windshield wiper” in the script) seems to be largely composed of an automatic garage door opener (do they beep in real life?) and a couple of ratchets. There’s some sort of duct-taped lever to press and hold the trigger down; presumably the gun can be auto-set to full automatic.

Plenty of callbacks to the pilot episode over the past few episodes, from Walt’s trousers to the chemical mask he took from the school laboratory.
