What a way to end the show. Some of it seemed a little ridiculous though, like how did Walt manage to slip ricin into Lydia's sealed packet?

Lydia always used those sugar substitutes every time they met at that diner. Walt knew she was a person of routine.

She also sat at the same table.

That's actually a really easily explained situation as stated above.

Find a packet, gently open it with a razor, empty it in..plant it. Easy kill to a creature of habit.

Plus she always used stevia.. In the green packet and complained when there wasn't any.
Walt made sure there was only one green packet at her table.

I loved the last season from when Hank found out all the way to the 2nd to last episode. Didn't care much for the last episode though only because his last involvement before his death were with characters that weren't really all that important to the overall show.

Really? That's prob the easiest thing to explain...

I remember when that scene opened on the shot of the sugar packets and I jumped out of my chair and screamed 'i bet Walt put ricin in that!' and my wife and 2 teenage kids all glared at me.

I loved that shot.

The thing I never understood is why did the trunk pop when he set off the machine gun? There was no reason other than to show the gun to the viewers.

I was cool to me that during that last episode it was like I was watching a year later and not a week later. It had a completely different vibe. It really felt like a "where are they now"? or a movie version of the episode.

Didn't the gun rotate back and forth? Wouldn't be enough room for the end of the barrel to swing that much if it was in the trunk

Yes!
I was so let down that the white power guys were the ones that were in the climax scene, it really bothered me how they came in at the very end

I always wondered why they had to take him all the way to New Hampshire to keep low. I bet there are places in New Mexico and The Western US that would have worked. New Hampshire? Really?

Yes, but I don't think it raised out of the trunk because the bullet holes cut a line through the side of the car
I'm pretty sure it stayed down in the trunk and rotated back and forth, i.e. the gun didn't need the trunk opened to gain clearance for right to left.
ETA:
Yup, I was correct. No reason other than to show the viewers... And with that car, he would have had to wire a trunk mechanism. So THAT is a bigger question than the Ricin one

The machine gun in the trunk thing almost killed the whole series for me. I try to overlook it but it's hard. It reminds me of a cartoon scene. Silly, unbelievable and just outright pathetic for a show that was so clever up to that point.

Agree to an extent... I think an explosion similar to what he did in Tuco's office would have been better.
Walt brings some of his "newest" product to Jack and when he and jesse hit the floor, he detonates it, and then grabs a gun while they are in shock and kills them all.

The reason I can never put Breaking Bad on the level of The Sopranos and The Wire is all the far fetched bullshite that took place.
Great series, but not the top tier.

They had a guy get half his face blown off, leave the room, adjust his tie, and then die.
Breaking Bad was never about being realistic. There has always been a (dare I say it) goofy quality to some of the events. It's what made it unique and fun.
