Is Mom doing better than Dads?

It's a comicbooky show! Set in the Marvel Universe! Of course the hacker girl will look gorgeous! Excelsior!

1a) Walt's endgame went just as he had planned, but so what? It's a minor victory compared to all of the misery he's reaped. He lost Jesse, his family, his home, his brother in law, and for what? His children will get some money, but they won't even know it's from him, and Flynn will always hate him. He could have

I didn't have a problem with Walt going out on his own terms. It was more of… his endgame fell into place so easily. I actually like the finale a lot, I just can't call it perfect. It's good. I just wanted it to be phenomenal.

Part of me wishes they'd ended Supernatural at that point…. but if they had, we wouldn't have gotten "The French Mistake."

What about Futurama? I actually haven't seen the finale yet. I'm hoping it's satisfying.

I don't like its ending, but I love the episode. See you, Space Cowboy.

It was a thrilling, affecting finale. Just dump that scene in the church (or the entire Red Universe* story, even) and I'd call it great.

Angel and Veronica Mars? You're in for a good time. Angel is gonna ramp up into an epic show, and get more varied in its storylines. When you have more time, try getting into The Middleman as well. I think Buffy fans would appreciate that show.

@avclub-c7bce97302001aa12fbc6f588330ab9d:disqus I just don't believe Walt ever truly loved Jesse. Maybe in the end, he did genuinely care about Jesse, or at least realized he owed him. But before that, it was just another one of Walt's delusions.

The writing staff of 30 Rock?

True, but he was about to kill Walt, so what did it matter what Walt thought of him?

Maybe it's a dig at the Schwartzes? Since their name means "black"?

Lydia is dangerous. Walt knows this. He was protecting his family.

That was a spontaneous gesture of… uh, wanting to make amends in a wrongheaded way? From a guy with a gunshot wound who knew he was dying pretty soon. I'd say Walt basically got to go out on his own terms, the bastard.

Foster home, most likely, and an unhappier childhood that he would've had with Andrea. :(

Walt's endgame did succeed a little too easily. I get that they don't have a lot of time to spend on it, but the manhunt for him felt so sloppy. Ahh, I don't want to complain about this stuff today. It's been a great ride. Let's leave it at that.

LOST gets a bad rap, but until the very end of the episode in the church, it was damn good finale ep. Thrilling, cathartic, and redemptive. The church scene was terrible, but it doesn't happen in the "real world" anyway, so I feel that I can safely ignore it.
