Well I have been saying Walt would sacrifice himself for Jesse since before the actual season started in the predictions thread and the ricin tea since we saw Walt grab the ricin... with the amount of speculation that has happened I think I did pretty well with mine.

At no point was Walt's plan sacrificing himself for Jesse. What are you talking about?

Him laying on Jesse taking bullets isn't sacrificing??? My whole theory was Walt would die so Jesse could live

No. Walt went in there thinking Jesse was cooking for them, saw he was a prisoner, then hit the deck with him. I think Walt would have ducked regardless of weather Jesse was there or not.

That's not why Walt died. Jesse living wasn't dependent on Walt dying.

I don't care what his intentions were, in the end, he saved Jesse.

He didn't sacrifice himself for Jesse though, so reel in your chest pounding about being spot on when you weren't.

Walt didn't go in with the plan to sacrifice himself for Jesse but ultimately he dove and him and took a bullet that would've hit Jesse. The end result, despite intentions, was that he sacrificed himself for Jesse.

I'd call that an incredible reach to try to look right, but OK.

just watched the insider podcast, convinced Gilligan wanted this to be Saw: the tv series... dude had all kinds of twisted ideas that would have made this entire show super dark.

Jeez, you guys are ridiculous. How can you claim that Walt didn't sacrifice himself? It doesn't matter what his original intentions were because he had a change of heart. He dove on top of Jesse to protect him from the ensuing mayhem. How is that not sacrificing himself?

He needed a pretext to get out of the way. Grabbing Jesse and acting like he wanted to kill him was a good way to do so. However, I agree that, once on the ground, Walt intentionally shielded Jesse's body with his own, therefore,

How is that not sacrificing himself?


it most definitely was - although Walt already considered himself a dead man because of the cancer.

and,

quote:

It doesn't matter what his original intentions were because he had a change of heart.


I agree that once he saw Jesse, saw him, literally in chains, he had a change of heart and his final "gift" was to save Jesse.

We all knew he was going back for the Nazis - we all knew he would encounter Jesse - I just didn't know if he was going to kill him or free him - Walt himself didn't know until the moment of crisis.

I didn't start this series until last year. I got caught up just in time for Season 5 to start. I predicted he would use GM to launder the money, that he would die killing the Nazis and save Jesse. It was a safe ending, almost "too" perfect. However, I got no complaints.

Y'all might have already discussed this but did anyone else think that there was about to be a musical montage of walt doing one last cook?

i wouldn't have minded it, but it would have been too over the top, imo

they ended it as well as they could to appease the majority of their viewership.





personally, i didn't have a problem with walt getting a smidgen of redemption before he died.
