Bobbo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 http://tvline.com/2013/09/30/breaking-bad-ratings-series-finale-10-million-viewers/Last night had the highest viewings of the series: 10.3 million people tuned in. The previous record was 6.6 million, for Granite State. Hard to believe a year ago, Gliding Over All set the bar high at a mere 2.8 million...God damn! That's quite the leap!It's funny because I was talking to my sister about this today. I first started watching this show a month or two before season 4 began. And at that time, although nearly universally acclaimed, nobody I knew really knew much about the series, or even the mere fact it existed.Then after last summers cliff hanger, it became this huggggeee sensation and everybody jumped on the bandwagon for the last stretch. Fucking crazy how that works sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I've been thinking about the finale all day - the more I think of it, the more I appreciate it. I have the same feeling I had when The Sopranos ended. I didn't think there would be another show in the same league as that and The Wire for a long time, but then came Breaking Bad just a year later. I really hope the same thing will happen this time around. Yeah. All I can think of is another show to take its place, not sure what it's going to be. Low Winter Sun?

highvoltage Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I thought it was an incredible finish. Very satisfying for me overall.Ozymandias was the peak as far as the "action" goes, the final two episodes really tied up the story and the character overall.I love how Gilligan gave us the ending that most had hoped for / predicted, but as always, presented it in a way that kept you guessing throughout.He had so many "fan favourite" elements in the final episode... the bacon birthday plate, Walt got his "science geek" on with the M60, the ricin finally got used, we got to see the meth lab one more time, he had a true, honest moment with both Jesse and Skylar. I loved it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my roommate and I were really bored one day and looking for something to watch on Netflix.

No one else gets credit for it, and it's the last little egotistical Heisenberg moment we get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now he can't even get Saul's guy to disappear him since Saul is gone himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I thought the ending was great. I'm just disappointed it had to end at all. Lots of people were talking about it at worked today, and I actually felt a little bummed. Last time I felt like this over a show was the Sopranos, and at the time I thought maybe it was because I really wasn't happy with how it ended. But I realized that every once in a while a show comes along and just takes hold of you, becomes a part of your life, and it's hard to say goodbye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 After re-watching, have no problem with the ending - been cool though if Walt would have blown up the lab.He clearly didn't want to. Why do you think he wandered through it nostalgically as he was dying? Placing his hand fondly on the tank as he passed away. He loved it.

I wanted to let as many people know how great this show was as I could.Then right after 5a I had a lot of those same friends come back to me saying "hey man, have you ever watched breaking bad? It's incredible!" Only for me to respond "you mean that show I told you to watch two years ago? Yeah, I've seen it". .Oh well. I'm just glad the show got the attention and viewership it always deserved. Even if it was at the very last stretch .They deserve to sweep the Emmys next year.

It was the same lab he'd designed in the first place... You could tell he was happy to see it again after the last one blew up, wasn't about to do the same thing again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 So far, the show ending that had the least complaints was "The Shield". They're never going to be able to please everyone when it comes to a series finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shield is the second show to leave me feeling the way Breaking Bad left meSopranos didn't as much because it was left so open (not to mention I really didn't like Tony or his family so I didn't really care)I feel a bit empty... excellent show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Someone posted this before, but the real ending was Ozymandias. And as much as I don't like Marie, I am curious to see what happens to her after they found Walt. They never really showed her completely distraught after Hank died, except that one scene.
