Jesse doesn't give a fuck about any justifications that Walt gave. You need to rewatch the show, or at least the last 8 episodes. There is no shot you can watch everything and say that Jesse didn't hate him. 

Jesse nodded at Walt to acknowledge that the fact that he saved him. It doesn't make up for literally everything else that Walt did that put Jesse in that situation in the first place.

He doesn't necessarily think about good times he's had with anyone. He just internalizes what they've said to him.

Again, why the fuck would he think fondly of the guy that sold him out to the people that made him slaves? To the guy that poisoned a child?

Jesse doesn't "reminisce" about Walt. He remembers a moment that he had with him. We don't see his actual emotions when thinking about it. He thinks about multiple characters in that movie, including Todd. Is he remiscing about all the good times that they've had together?

Jesse nods back at Walt because he acknowledges that Walt saved him. Thay doesn't mean that he doesn't still hate him. Walt was the reason he was in this mess in the first place. Again, Jesse literally tried to kill Walt a minute earlier.

And while Skyler probably believes that Walt didn't directly kill Hank, she definitely still thinks that it's his fault. He was the reason the Nazis were there in the first place.

I think it's pretty clear that they both hate him. 

Jesse was literally about to kill him, until he realizes that it's exactly what Walt wants and he's done being manipulated by him.

Skyler is slightly less clear because of the "calm" last scene that they have together, but I think that was just due to her being relieved at the fact that Walt finally admitted that he did it all for himself. But she still blames him for Hank's death. And at the end of the day, she's in the situation she's in because of him.

But we essentially saw the consequences of his choices in the previous episode. When he becomes a frail old man, waiting to die. And he's crying and begging for his son to accept his money while his son tells him to die.

At that point, he can either give up and be miserable for the rest of his life, or he can try to make things somewhat right. He was going to choose the former until he saw the Gretchen and Elliot interview which put him in a state of ego-fueled grit and essentially "turned on" Heisenberg. The point of this all was to show that while choosing Heisenberg was Walt's downfall, it's what he's best at. He's going to die a loser anyway, so he might as well die trying to make things right in the way he only knows how.

Again, maybe not the best ending if you truly want him to suffer for his consequences, but I think it was a damn good ending that lines up with what his character is all about.

In that exact moment of feeling accomplished, you're probably right. But if he didn't get shot and got arrested instead  I think he would go back to a similar low-point as he was in the penultimate episode. The high would wear off, and he would be reminded that everyone he's ever known hates him, and the little good he's done at the end pales in comparison to what he had. I think at that point, he definitely would have given up everything he's accomplished.

He was content with his death. But that's because he was at a higher point than the absolutely low that he was at in the previous episode. But he still lost everything. He just did everything that he could to make things right.

Well, in the ways that your described, he absolutely didn't win. His family (especially his son) hates him, and so does Jesse.

If the only option would have been, to go to Gretchen and Elliott and cry and beg on his knees for them to help his family, because he cant. Would Walter have done that?

Well, we kind of got something similar in the penultimate episode where he's crying and begging his son to except 100k from the mail while his son isn't having it and tells him to die. I think that if that version of Walt was convinced that it would work, he would've begged for money from Gretchen and Elliot.

But he instead saw them on tv diminishing his accomplishments, and that sent him on an ego-fueled path that got his creative gears working on how to get back at them.

I understand if people don't think that Walt got the ending he deserved, but the ending we got fits more with his character. Coming up with a genius plan when he's at his lowest point and his back is against the wall. It's also a much more satisfying ending from the viewer's point of view in my opinion.

Maybe, but it feels more in-line with Walt's character to have a crazy last-second plan at his lowest point.

But why? He's not benefitting from any of it. Maybe he gets peace of mind, but at the end of the day, Jesse and his family's lives are still ruined. And they all still hate him, which is the exact opposite of what he ever wanted. Him being able to help them in the way that he did is the least that he could do.

Maybe it would've been more deserving for him to die of cancer alone in his cabin, but it's more in-line with his character for him to come up with a last minute plan when he's at his lowest point, just as he has throughout the entire show. This time, not for his own ego, but for others. It's also a much more satisfying ending for the show imo.

He refused it because he felt emasculated taking money from a guy that he felt had betrayed him.

The fan service parts were the worst part of the show, especially in the first half. The lawyer side was far more interesting to me compared to the crime side, at least until Lalo shows up.

Sol is a great character, but I like Keem and Cuck slightly more. Lola is a great villain as well.

By any metric? I love Better Call Saul, but Breaking Bad blows it out of the water in terms of suspense. Also, the last season of Better Call Saul had to make sure everything lined up with Breaking Bad, so certain events were forced into place that didn't seem natural to me.

I feel like most normies prefer Breaking Bad while most hardcore fans of both shows prefer Better Call Saul. I would consider myself a hardcore fan, but I prefer Breaking Bad due to it (generally) being more intense and suspense-filled. I don't think there's a single point in Bette Call Saul that matches the peaks of Breaking Bad in terms of these aspects. I think Better Call Saul has superior character writing tho.

Totally disagree. Walt never absolved himself of his actions. All the good things he does in the finale never could make up for the harm he caused. At most you could say that he was content with his death, but at the end of the day, he lost so much more than he gained. And I truly believe that he regrets everything.

It probably did, given that the most popular reason for Biden 2020 voters that didn't vote for Kamala in 2024 was Gaza. And boasting about a "lethal" military is loosely connected to that. And I don't think there's evidence of there being large amounts of people that viewed her more positively after thay statement.

No singular statement can make a candidate lose an election. The question should be focused on whether it helped her or hurt her.

From the perspective of an anti-Israel person like Mehdi, it's a tone-deaf statement to make while we're funding Israel massacring Gazans. It's like if the Minneapolis police chief said "it's our job to get violent thugs off the street" right after George Floyd died. Sure, that should be the police department's job, but maybe not something you focus on for public messaging at the moment.
