"I won" and the cut to black would have been perfect as a series finale

i don't feel it should have ended there but maybe season 5 was a few too many episodes to close it out.

I think there should have been a full-length season 5, but it should have gone in a completely different direction with it.

It was weird how much of the Jesse and Hank teamup was skipped over, they were only working together for like an episode and a half before he got killed. I felt like we missed out on what could've been some really interesting development between the characters. Like Hank admitting that he doesn't care if Jesse dies or not as long as he gets Walt. How truthful was he in that moment?

Honestly it should've been Walt vs. Hank to the very end, as the dynamic between the two + Jesse was far more interesting than the White Supremacists

would have taken a while for Hank to arm up to jessie. He was only being 'nice' because he was helping him catch walt.

Kind of funny, kid gets used no matter what he does, loses every girl he loves, parents thing he's hopeless etc etc.

Jessie...had a hard life..

God this still pisses me off. Like..just introduce them in the last season ad have that be the big bad. come on. so stupid. i would have taken gus surviving to season 5 and him being the final 'villain' overt hat. Jack and crew were boring as fuck.

I think I might be in the minority on this thread, but I absolutely would not have ended it there. To me, a good series finale can leave a few minor loose ends for "what-if" purposes (certainly don't want to spell every last thing out), but most major plot points should be resolved by that point.

Perhaps the ending was a bit deus ex machina, but to me, Felina was a perfect finale.

Another good example of my perfect ending is Reservoir Dogs. Pink gets away just like Jesse does (although we're left to wonder if he gets caught by the incoming police or gets to start a new life elsewhere), but the story more or less proceeds to its logical--not to mention fitting--conclusion.

I agree with this 100%. If half of your last season is simply introducing new characters, maybe you didn't need that last season.

uh no. don't listen to retards here, season 5 is good.

S5 has good episodes but it's overall one of the worst seasons.

>far more interesting than the White Supremacists

I was and still am alright with them being the ones to end the empire.The thing is about them was that they weren't really the "big bad" or even the final villains until Ozymandias.

Depending on if you're an edgelord or not, Hank or Walt were the main villains of season five and both them unknowingly got in way over their heads. Hank was especially clueless since he had no idea that: 1. Walt essentially had Jack and his crew on retainer and 2. it was Jack that helped to orchestrate the mass prison killings.

They were really just 100% self-interested and did not give a single fuck as to whether they were dealing with a DEA agent or "the great Heisenberg."

What the fuck, mate?

You're on a board that fucking hates 99% of the shit it comes across, especially popular shit, and you're going to go off that alone to not watch the final season that was extremely well-received by pretty much every viewer except /tv/?

Don't be such a pussy. Watch it. It's very good.

The whole point of the show is Walt's corruptive influence, and how he used his family as an excuse for his destructive behavior. If you end it at season 4, the message falls flat. Walt winning isn't a satisfying conclusion and misses the entire point of the story.
