What on earth was going on in the video game Jake was playing?

Parks plays pretty loosely with the documentary stuff, since even though characters address/look at cameras the cameras or crew are never mentioned/impact the story (the logic is kind of wonky). Note, for example, that there's no way Ron would consent to being constantly filmed in his quest to get off the grid.

I got a very Cube feeling when they were going through the train (although this dissipated when it turned out you could leave whenever you liked).

Can someone explain Jesse's woodworking fantasy? It almost seemed like it was included just so Vince Gilligan could give a red-herring clue about the finale.

3) was sort of a stretch. Having Todd basically go "gee Mr. White, you killed everyone!" and then just hang out with his back to them felt really odd.

I'm pretty sure someone here suggested that Walt was going to try to get the money to his family through Gray Matter, but I really don't want to sort through the comments on "Granite State" to find out whom.

I thought that too, but on the other hand Lydia's never been someone with a strong sense of vengeance or justice or anything. She's been remarkably cold ordering the deaths of people she considers threats, but that's just paranoia and self-interest. Essentially I don't think she'd see any point in it since she's…

For the few seconds between when he started mashing the key and when the machine gun came up I was really worried that some mechanism had messed up and the series was going to end with Walt failing, getting shot, Nazis win, Walt is a fuck-up forever. Thankfully a bunch of people died instead!

Was it ever explained how Walt filled a Stevia packet with ricin, set it in the right place, etc.? I watched this in a public area so couldn't hear parts of the last 20 minutes or so.

Last meth person who knows about Walt's family.

Also am I wrong or isn't wielding and using an enormous machine gun kind of hard for someone undergoing chemo?

Where is Huell, anyway? Wasn't he ensconced in some DEA/Hank-arranged temporary safe house with some friend of Hank's standing guard?

If it turned out that your father was a drug kingpin who, for all you know, murdered many people, including for all essential purposes a close family member, and tried to keep it all from you, would you really want to talk to him? Would you really want his money?

I propose that the kid (of those ATM-stealing meth addicts) that Jesse helped way back shows up and saves the day. Or maybe the kid shows up and Todd shoots him too, because hey apparently that's the sort of thing we're doing to Jesse now.

I have trouble imagining Jesse living any sort of life after what's happened, but I also have trouble imagining him killing himself if Brock is still alive. But still, it doesn't seem like he can have any sort of presence in Brock's life anymore. Then he'd be the guy who acted as if he cared while concealing the fact…

I'll disagree and say that I don't think Walt's going to kill the Schwarzes, or enact any sort of real vengeance against Grey Matter. It seems obvious that he hates them for denying him recognition (again!), but I don't believe he'll kill them over it.  Instead I think the point of seeing that interview was to keep…

What a nice way to come down from "Ozymandias".

The popular argument against this seems to be that Walt doesn't care about people so much as he cares about preserving the belief that he cares about people, which is difficult if you let them die. In other words, Walt wants to be able to rationalize himself as a good guy, and an adherence to no familial deaths is a…

Yeah, as far as he knows Jesse's dead and he's glad.

Jesse never got tortured on-camera but the right half of his face, with all of its cuts and swellings and general resemblance to beef tartare (I'm too fancy to say hamburger), suggests he got hurt off-camera. Plus him pleading that he has nothing left to tell Todd.
