(S02E13) Alright so I’m calling this a season finale even though the show has been canceled by The CW already, just because the studio is trying to keep it alive and maybe have it found its way to The CW affiliates or something. I would say the odds aren’t really in favor of our show, and unfortunately it will probably be made official in a few days that this was the series finale after all, but for now let’s pretend, let’s hope…
Another reason I decided to call it a season finale is because I don’t want to say bad stuff about this episode, and while the episode in itself – and taken out of all this renewal considerations – was a pretty good and funny one, as a series finale it would be one Hell of a let down, let’s be honest.

(S02E12) For a long time I assumed, and I don’t think that I was alone there, that if everything would eventually fall apart for Walter & Jesse, it would come from outsiders. Not that they wouldn’t have done wrong or made bad decisions, but what would eventually set the whole place on fire and get people to scream and run in circle would be one of those other guys.
The crazy ones, another Tuco or the infamous Cartel, who we’ve heard from a song wasn’t too happy about them and saw Walter as a dead man already. It was so obvious that they weren’t ready to deal with any of those people and the crazy world that comes with them, that they would eventually cause everything to collapse. But in the end, the one responsible for everything might just be Walter, once again.

(S02E11) It is something we’ve pretty much knows from the get-go, from the very first episode of this show : it won’t have an happy ending. It just can’t end well, not when we’re dealing with what we’re dealing here, and especially not when our two leads behave the way they do. But if at first Jesse was the drug dealer, the “bad guy,” while Walter was only a poor family man hit by cancer, an high school teacher who learned he might not have long left.
Since then and especially during this season, we’ve seen things change. Or, we’ve seen Walter change. Walter might now be the bad guy, in that he’s the one forcing what happens and causing most if not all the pain and trouble in the people around him, he remains the driving force of the show, and/or the drug business in which he and Jesse are now in way too deep to ever get out of there well, or alive.

(S04E25-E26) Alright, so I have very mixed feelings about this episode. In fact, I think I want to split this thing in two, two different entities or whatever, two things to be considered completely separately, like they didn’t belong together — they just happened to have taken place on the same day/episode. Let’s open with the good, and the good was obviously this new case.
We know that the quality of an episode depends also for a large part on the case and, of course, the unsub they are tracking, and needless to say this was a pretty brilliant one. This had everything to make a terrific episode/case, and it did, starting with a nice little twist right at the beginning just to mess with us, for the fun of it.
