516 – Felina

And now we arrive at the end, "Felina". I had such an awesome time at our Breaking Bad finale party, that it didn't even sink in until my private rewatchings at home how bittersweet it was. Walt falling dead in the arms of his lover; science, chemistry, even meth, after having finally provided for his family, made peace with his wife, and freed his partner... it was pretty intense. A lot of people, critics and fans, have quibbles about the pacing, the plot, the neatness of it all, but to me, it was a love letter from Vince to us. Like Batman to Gotham city, "Felina" perhaps wasn't the ending that Walt, and by extension, us, deserved. But it was the ending that we needed.
