Saul did at least have that one great scene earlier in the season with Walt and Skyler about the money laundering, and a recent scene with Walt where Saul cleans up the mess Walt caused by exploding Walt Jr's car.

Hey, I just quoted you above. . . credit where due and all.

The ONLY reason I wasn't 100% sure it was Walt in the opening moments was expressed well by DanielKurland below— "SO obvious, it might have been mis-direction".  I thought maybe they were playing with audience assumptions.  Why else purposely never show Walt's face?  But after seeing the shoes again in the linked shot…

Overall great ep, great season.

What do you mean, "we"? [thought Akira was good]

I completely agree— there's a big difference between "unresolved" and "not resolved with a big satisfying conclusion."  The Sopranos left plotlines dangling constantly.  The article even refers to possibly the most famous example— the Russian from "Pine Barrens".  This was a huge part of the show's narrative style,…

This is so wrong I don't even know where to begin.
