I liked the finale and thought it did a fine job of wrapping everything up. I honestly wanted something darker though. I'm not sure what I would have changed, but I'm sure Vince kicked around some other ideas.

I liked not knowing what happens to Jesse. I don't think Jesse knew what was he was going to do at that point. The point is that he's finally free from the Nazis, Walt, and all the shite from the past year of his life, and can attempt to be happy in a new life somewhere.

I'm gonna give it a second watch today and see if I get any other ideas.

Jesse had already paid the 125K to the vacuum man (via Saul I believe), so there's that. I bet his deposit is still good.

Jesse's future looked extremely grim. Even before he was enslaved, he was completely haunted by what he had done. He was just hanging around his house and abusing drugs. Walt's death didn't free him—he was haunted by his own actions. And at the end he had the nightmares from the torture and enslavement to look forward to. Brock ended up with relatives or in foster care—there's no way Jesse could have contact with him. Jesse died of an overdose two months after the last scene.

I guess I would have to hear some alternative endings that are "darker" to understand whether or not it would work.

I thought the ending they gave us was pretty dark... about the only thing that was uplifting was that Walt didn't kill Jesse.

ETA It ended with him killing nazis, poisoning Lydia, and his family hating him... I guess I just don't see how that isn't "dark" enough.
