I like that he died in his lab. That was his baby, that was his life. He only really "lived" those last two years, and lived big and went out in a bang. It was fitting. His life began in a meth lab and ended there as well.
I didn't/don't feel bad for Skyler at all. She was one of the few people that really knew what she was getting into, and I feel like a lot of her problems were brought on by her. She cheated on Walt, she brought on the tax issue, she pushed Walt to "dispose" of people, and then she decided to just quit. She reminds me of the guy that walks around talking/acting tough, and then as soon as a speed bump hits, they freak out and go off the deep end.
I feel bad for Hank, but then I don't. He let it get too personal. It made me mad when he and his wife got so smug towards the end. When his wife made Skyler pull Flynn in and confess to Flynn...anger. Same with Hank. I guess the real lesson here is don't let things ever get too personal. It isn't worth it.
I'm glad Jesse lived. Towards the end, when they did the flashback and Walt was calling Skyler for the first time and Jesse was in the background pretend fighting/lightsabering, it made me cry. He was just a dumb KID. Just a child. Very innocent and DUMB. He was destroyed. He was the most tragic story in the show, and I'm glad it had a happy ending.
Jesse's first girlfriend that choked to death...wow, she is hot.
What a great show.
Good assessment of the other characters. And that is what made this show great. Everybody is real, and acted probably how real people would in those circumstances. They were all flawed, as we all are, and they made bad choices mixed in with good ones with good intentions and out of anger or fear or hatred. Gritty and messy and very real. Awesome. Some of the best writing and acting I've ever seen in a TV show and even most movies. Almost never did I see a scene in Breaking Bad that made me go "oh please not even a moron would do that" but I had plenty of those moments in dexter and especially more recently under the dome.
