So it's been a hell of a ride watching Walter White go from good guy to buy, from Mr. Chips to Scarface. And it's seemed awfully effortless. Bryan Cranston is peerless in just how fucking good he is in this type of role. After the hell he went through last year it was delightful to watch Walt come into his own while still cleaning up the mess that his pride had gotten him into. And what amazed me the most was how as soon as Skyler finally broke through to him… Heisenberg went away. Walt saw that he's well-over-achieved his dream. And beautifully, that's when the other shoe drops. Although he doesn't know it yet. If I have one complaint it's that we didn't get to see Hank freak out more at the ultimate discovery. Although how goddamn exciting is it to know that Hank is in 'the know' going into the final eight episodes? So many ways this could go down, and we know that we're in good hands with Vince Gilligan and crew. Shame we have to wait a year, but it's worth it if the final chapter is anywhere near the quality of this series thus far. Easily one of the best television series of all time.
