I think we will but that would be the reverse of The Sopranos which had an amazing second-to-last episode and then ... well we all know about the finale.
It's one thing to have a terrible finale if you just don't have the ability to make a good one for whatever reason (lack of talent, story line presents obstacles, etc.). But they obviously could have just had Ozymandias as the finale and just inserted filler along the way to stretch things out a bit if they wanted, so we know that the ability to make a great finale wasn't an issue here. They chose not to do have that be the finale but to tell more of the story- since they were talented enough to make this show to date, I'm pretty comfortable that they won't suddenly botch a decision that badly.
Exactly. Ozymandias was really the finale of the story. The last two episodes of the series are telling the "what happens after/what is the fallout" angle that we never see once the credits roll at the end of a movie.
I didn't say it was an epic crash. But it was clearly a bit of a setup episode. They introduced a new character, spent 25 minutes in the cabin, etc. I loved the episode, I really did. But if they don't come through in the finale, the last two episodes will generate a ton of heat for their lack of "action".
the show creater himself said last week's show was the best in the series. they aren't going to top that so anyone expecting them to is going to be disappointed.
Thanks for that. I forgot how much it actually meant to him and how much it was actually talked about. I remembered that epsiode as a throwaway episode.....and now it's obviously not so much. With his disposition to seem to want to blame others for his failures and shortcomings....you have to figure that he'll blame Gretchen and Elliot for his ultimate failure.
Agreed that they are not stupid. But that's part of the reason why I was assuming that they would not have done it during the day in a residential neighborhood, and were able to do it without anyone noticing. The sun was still up when Walt Jr called the cops. Marie did not come over until after that. It's possible that Marie did not go home between going to the car wash and going to the White's house, but I still think the timeline puts it somewhere after that.Tiger Fan said:

She made it clear that it was his choice to leave her. In the flashback she seemed pretty infatuated with him. A side-by-side comparison of what Walt looks like in the flashback with Sky when buying the house vs when he was with Gretchen at the chalkboard could help with the timeline. Did Walt knock Skyler up, so he left Gretchen? That would make it worse, albeit a bit cliche, if he gave up Gretchen and Gray Matter for Skyler and family but lost that family by trying to recreate the empire he had already lost.Apple Jack said:
I can't help but think, that no matter how it happens, his dying closes out the finale.
Maybe someone should cut off Marie's hands for all the shoplifting she did.
Pretty sure he's immortal the way he hikes through snow, dig holes and throws around 250lb barrels of cash like it ain't no thing even though he has stage 4 lung cancer.
