Ozymandias was one of the greatest hours of television. Incredible writing, acting, directing and cinematography. It was also chock full of symbolism and Easter eggs. Some I got.....others I'm still trying to work out.

-The pants in the desert was a great nod to everyone who has been there since the start. So much has happened since then.
-The fireman playing chess after the brillant call to Skylar. Added bonus...the king is being moved.
-Walt's fetal position cry after Hank is shot mimics Gus' after his associate is shot
-Marie wearing black for the entire episode
-Todd is again wearing the green jacket Walt seems to be wearing in the flash forward
-The nod to Walt's pizza toss in the opening conversation with Skylar.
-Jack's line "there's no scenario where this guy lives"
-Walt insisting that Jack call Hank by his name
-Hank wanting to be known by his real name....not his nickname


Two I'm still trying to figure out
-The shot of two birds circling when Jesse is about to be executed (symbolic of Jesse/Walt or Jesse/Jane?)


-The stray dog crossing the street (reference to Jesse's "putting a dog down" speech in AA?)

Others?

Something small I noticed, Jack snapping his fingers to break Walt out of his trance after Hank died. He did the same thing when they were planning the prison murders.

Doesn't he say " My name is ASAC Schrader..."
ASAC as in Assistant Special Agent in Charge.

The White Supremacists are the muscle behind Walter WHITE.

I immediately thought about the Greek story of Icarus flying too close to the sun, especially since Walt and Jesse relationship has resembled a father-son relationship.
