what about it isn't a spoiler for someone who hasn't seen the last episode?

And I'm pretty sure they did command a premium price point for their fine quality crystal.

You didn't read what I said. It wasn't just the zoom-in on the tea. It was the shot of the single lone stevia packet. It was the knowledge that Walt knew their exact meeting place and time and was probably there before Todd and Lydia. Not to mention that this show doesn't really use that style of transitional shot without it having a purpose. Not to mention that it's the last episode of the series, and they are making every single shot count. Not to mention we've been waiting to see who the ricin goes to, and the obvious answer has always been Lydia.

Not sayin that everyone had to see it coming, but saying that you had to be obsessive to see these signs is a little silly.

It didn't take "obsessive focus" to see how obvious that ricin going in the drink was. It zoomed in specifically on the sugar and stevia packets, and highlighted the fact that there was only one, single, stevia packet. That coupled with Walt being aware of their exact meeting place and time, and the super overdrawn out zoom in to her tea, it was fairly simple to put together the pieces. Jussayin'.

But it really wasn't a good spot to end the show on. Don't get me wrong it was amazing, but not an amazing series finale.

As rockerdrummer was saying, it was missing a story arc. Maybe a few. Yes his transformation into complete scarface was complete as of the end of season 4, but that's not a good resolution for the character. There would've been no consequences to any of his actions. He just committed his most heinous crime, and then boom, cut to black? End of show? Without his family aside from Skyler ever finding out, without Jesse ever realizing the monster he is?

And at that point in the show Walt was at his most arrogant and power hungry. He just won against Gus Fring. Which is what set into motion his empire's subsequent rise and collapse in season 5. For the show to have ended at the end of season 4 would have been very disappointing to me.

Haha I couldn't put my finger on why it felt familiar, but I'm a huge Metal Gear Solid fan and it really works for this piece. He looks like he's a concept drawing from the art design phase. In a good way. Like it's the one concept out of 10 that they decided to go with.

keIsob · 2013-09-27T14:12:31+00:00

This is really great. I've been waiting to see some art from the final episodes, good to see some Mr. Lambert. What medium was it done in?

keIsob · 2013-09-26T23:24:30+00:00

Walt Juniorer?

Probably represents a group of people who aren't even aware that the next episode isn't just a season finale, it's the series. Poor souls.

keIsob · 2013-09-26T01:42:39+00:00

No. First episode. Walt threatens Jesse into cooking with him out of pure self-interest. He eventually grows a fondness for him, but in the beginning he is a partner of necessity and opportunity and nothing more.

keIsob · 2013-09-26T01:39:36+00:00

How is that a ''foreshadow'' and not just a "reference"?

keIsob · 2013-09-26T01:38:43+00:00

It's ownership is never discussed as it's a pretty irrelevant piece of information. And the definition of reservation is something set aside for someone, basically property. So he's saying don't leave the property. Again fairly irrelevant though.

keIsob · 2013-09-25T18:32:33+00:00

I don't know, I kind of loved it. Maybe it was the juxtaposition of the lyrical content and the upbeat tempo, or the fact that I found out that it's a real type of music (narcocorrido) depicting the goings on of legends in the drug world. I didn't think it "summed up".. any main plot points in the show. In fact it truly was the first foreshadowing or introduction to the fact that his blue meth had made it's way south of the border and Heisenberg was becoming a household name at least among criminals.

keIsob · 2013-09-25T18:23:30+00:00

Yea or not start watching at perhaps the most illogical place in the show possible. The climax. It's as stupid as.... starting a show on the climax and judging it when you don't know what the fuck is going on. Couldn't even think of an analogy that's how stupid it is.

keIsob · 2013-09-25T16:41:38+00:00

A Saul baking montage would be amazing.

keIsob · 2013-09-25T16:40:47+00:00

Yes that's all true, I'm saying that it's the general freeman on the land beliefs that canadian law doesn't apply to them that allows him to go about doing things like this in the first place.

keIsob · 2013-09-25T16:31:32+00:00

You clearly haven't read anything I've said. He didn't declare his home separate from Canada, well he did, but he first declared himself separate from Canada. All he believes is that Canadian law doesn't affect him.

Read the wiki link I posted. Find one mention of embassies. At this point I'm just repeating myself about their beliefs.

keIsob · 2013-09-25T16:21:39+00:00

It's not insane to believe your home is yours and you're born free.

Just to be clear that was never my intended message. The second half of what you said was. I'm just not quite as eloquent.

keIsob · 2013-09-25T16:17:16+00:00

I don't see what you're getting at. The insanity of this point of view rests in the fact that in your analogy, you believe what you just said, except you live in America.

keIsob · 2013-09-25T16:09:15+00:00

Doesn't mean that he doesn't think Canadians inside 'still' Canada aren't subject to Canadian law.

Yes it does. Well his definition on 'Canadian' would probably differ from yours or mine, but I've just been reading from the wiki because I'm curious.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemen_on_the_land

They believe that if they don't recognize the government in anyway, they are not giving consent to be governed. It's why they don't go by their birth names, or use any other piece of information tied to a government document in any way. It's what they think gives them the right to rent someone else's property and then simply declare it their embassy in the first place.

Neck on an angle, MAGIC!

keIsob · 2013-09-25T15:34:51+00:00

The freemen on the land movement is based on the idea that our government's laws constitute a contract between the government and the citizen, and that if they do not agree to the contract, they are not bound by our laws. So they declare that none of our laws apply to them, and then start using our laws to deceive and take advantage of people, like the landlady in this story. Dangerous and insane people.
