    I know I'll probably get an awful slagging for this but to be honest with you I am not too bothered about the last two eps now.The big question for me coming up to the end of the series was how things would finish up between Hank and Walter (would Hank find out and would Walter be caught).
    That issue was resolved in the last ep so what comes after is just filler. Anyone else feel like this?

    Last two episodes to be 75 minutes long!

    That article is BS, the tweet clearly states that the episodes are 75 minutes with commercials: .. 75 mins each w/commercials...

    Yes, but they are still going to be in the 60 minute mark - an extra 15 minutes each. Not to be sneezed at.

    I did mention in the episode thread that Ozymandias might have been the climactic point, with the last two episodes fulfilling the role of an epilogue that ties up the storyline nicely, but I expect they'll do a lot more than that.
    Certainly not filler.

    Don't underestimate US commercial breaks.

    Especially for a show with huge viewership and in its last two episodes.
    That extra time could honestly be all ads.

    AMC may want to milk their best cash cow with two more commercial blocks. Couldn't blame them ;)

    Think Vince said awhile back about 7-8 minutes extra for the last 2 episodes.

    Definitely not. You gotta make hay while the sun shines. Opportunites like this are few and far between

    I reckon Lydia will meet Todd, see Jesse and persuade Todd to let him go. They'll probably ride then for the duration of the episode until Walt comes on the scene like some sordid porno.

    Just as I thought we'd invented every kind of porn. Meth Lab porn is a new one on me.

    While the chase between Hank and Walt was brilliant this season, from a series perspective I'm much more interested in the relationship between Walt and Jesse, and how it will be resolved. It has been a turbulent relationship over the last five series, and so am eager to see how it will end. Will Walt track and kill Jesse, will he save him, will he let him rot where he is?? We've seen Walt use and manipulate Jesse, but he has also shown signs of caring for him too. Was any of it ever genuine? It's the only "Loose end" so to speak I'm interested in seeing being tied up.

    I would agree to some extent with this.

    Hank has been there from the start. Walt was out on Hank's drug bust at the start of the show when he met Jesse hiding out....

    Now Hank is gone, and the principal adversary is a Johnny Come Lately gang of so called Nazis that have no back story.

    I reckon Jesse has way too much smarts for Todd and will soon be out of that situation, but who knows.....

    Its kind of difficult to be too smart when youve been locked in a meth lab by a psycho.

    The big question for me has always been Walt, themes of family, legacy, empire and hubris. The whole Hank thing comes closer to being 'filler' for me.

    Still cant understand people wanting a final showdown or resolve between Walt and Jessie! That ship has sailed, their last scene was Walt turning the screw by admitting he let Jane die, sneering in his face and watching him get marched off to be tortured and killed. There is no remorse or empathy left, and for all Walt knows, Jessie is now dead and buried. Even if he came across him with the Nazis, any turnaround or moral change would be extremely insulting to the audience not to mention a bad reflection upon the scriptwriters. Walt has gone past the point of any decency or compassion now and Jessie is old (and in his eyes, dead) news.

    Of course people want a final resolution for Jesse and Walt. I want Jesse to kill Walt.

    Pinkman is a stupid f***tard and better be removed from the gene pool. He has proven his weakness and inferiority again and again over 60 episodes, missed plenty chances to kill Walt (hell, he couldn't even bring down Walter White with the help of two seasoned law enforcement officers, intead he had them killed). Why should that change the in the final two episodes?

    Should I point out for you that the spin off is not telling the adventures of Jesse, Badger and Skinny Pete? :D

    I think that's what makes it so interesting. So many things got resolved in the last episode that you almost think what could possibly happen next. Nobody knows and the only clue is the flashbacks and that Jesse is locked up.

    Jesse is for me, the most sympathetic character in the show. He is the only one who seems remorseful for the things that he has done, and his character arc has been as engrossing as walts for me.

    Also, surely walt is the stupid ****tard as he got his brother in law killed, leaving himself face down in the dirt weeping having given away his "empire" earnings, in a bid to save a man who said himself that he was already dead.

    I want resolution to jesse's story, as much as i want resolution to walts, though i hope both resolutions are very different. I'd like to see jesse experience some sort of cathartic closure, and be in a position to move on and have a decent life.

    I hope walt dies roaring.

    Whatever happens I hope walt is standing tall in the end and decides to take control of his empire again, since hes lost everything else, but thats not gonna happen.

    He showed in his last episode that he still has some campassion (Hank and then his family). What else is Walt possibly doing in the flashback apart from rescuing someone? And who is in need of being rescued - Jesse.

    The last episode tried to make it less obvious by having them hate each other more than ever.

    But Walt will have some realisation or something will happen to make him change his mind. Something we've all missed.
