I have only the series finale of Breaking Bad left to view...obvious SPERLERS

I hate people that post about the ongoing progress of their watching BB, but I couldn't resist given I'm finally facing being finished this great show.
I don't want it to end!
Thoughts going into finale:
* This show has become incredibly dark over the last season and a half.
* Todd is a true sociopath and plays it well.
* Jessie has devolved from a likeable guy into a whiny arse rat bitch...but you can't help but feel for his personal losses (Andrea now too!)
* I'm wondering if there is any redemption for Jessie in the finale - surely his character can't end this way?
* Walt, Jr. just told Walt to just fkn die already. Damn.
* Walt ironically "did it all" for his fam, but "it" ended up being the reason he loses his fam.
* I have literally no idea how this will end.
Watching finale tonight. Will report back after.

Put a pin in that, go watch the last episode, and come back.

Yep, you will see. Just give the finale a go and report back with your thoughts.

I want to say something, but it may be spoilerish, so I will give it a go anyways...........
One of my favorite scenes in the entire series... So well done all the way around...

This has been discussed here before. You can easily argue that Walt went far beyond providing well for his family to becoming obsessed with the power game. But he at least quit the game after realizing that he had accumulated more money than he knew what to do with.

Oddly enough I didn't hate Todd. He's probably a sociopath like you said, but I found all his decisions had sound business implications. Morbid....but true

Can't agree with this after the Jesse/Mike/Walt split of several million dollars was killed by Walt because he was in the "Empire business".

That's the beauty of the show. Your emotions will flip-flop back and forth about each character until the end.
Watching the show a second time, it's harder to sympathize with Walt because he had SOOOO many chances to choose to quit.

Jesse in the last two seasons really becomes the most realistic character. his desire to pump the brakes a bit is how actual normal people would probably act in his situation. it's walt that was being the dick trying to keep jesse in a life he didn't want anymore bc he (jesse) actually knew they were in over their heads.

Don't feed the trolls. We will have arrived as society when we completely ignore trolls/attention whores.

I will try to keep this as non-spoilerish as possible, but read with caution:
Once I figured out - pretty much how it was all going to go down, mechanism-by-mechanism, it was exceptionally satisfying to watch it all unfold - truly great storytelling with it being a journey - not a destination - at least not the last hour or so.
Contrast that to the cold reality of The Shield's ending, the ambiguity of The Sopranos ending (although, in hindsight, that was filmed literature - once you follow the pattern, it all makes sense), the bittersweet, nostalgic ending to The Wire - of The Big 4 (for me, anyway) - BB has the most satisfying final chapter - and after a couple of seasons of increasing darkness.

If I had read this before watching the series, I would hate you for robbing me of it. Give up.

The scene where he confronts Skyler after breaking into Holly's room typified him perfectly. The way he spoke to Skyler was the way you'd expect a doctor to talk to you about having a bad illness, or the way that a counselor may talk to a youth about behavioral problems, yet the content of what he was saying was so cold-blooded and harsh.
