Eight hours more of Breaking Bad and then it will be over for the most talked about, as well as praised, drama series in recent times. The creative brain behind this critically acclaimed AMC's drama series Vince Gilligan was in tears while writing the final passage of the last episode and he believes the end is likely to "polarize" viewers' opinion. The end can be unexpected, shocking and satisfying but a happy ending is highly unlikely.

The show got its dark protagonist when Walter White (Bryan Cranston), the mild-mannered Chemistry teacher, decided to cross over to the other (crime) side after he found out about his terminal lung cancer. He set-out with the objective to leave behind enough money for his wife and kids so that they can have a comfortable life after he is gone. However, his fiendish alter-ego became more greedy, sinister and darker with each episode. Walt chose to not cross back despite his cancer being in remission. The operation and the $200,000 was just an excuse to get back to the thrill of doing something illegal and feeling a sense of power, which was an ideal alternate life compared to the mundane routine as a normal family man, teaching Chemistry to high-school students.

In the final episode of the first instalment of Breaking Bad Season 5, Walt finally decides to return home and says, "I'm out." It looked he had interred the crystal meth cooking drug-lord Heisenberg for good. But, his brother-in-law Hank's (Dean Norris) discovery that Walter White is Heisenberg has cut short his homecoming. There are 101 possible ways the cult drama series Breaking Bad can end, but we have come-up with eight,

This is our list of eight possible ways Breaking Bad can end:

Cancer Kills Walt: Walter White's cancer returns and he dies within three months in a prison hospital. Or, his cancer returns and he dies while cooking a fresh batch of crystal-meth in a new RV, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) is by his side just like the old days.

Hank Kills Walt: Upset would be a mild word to describe DEA agent Hank's state of mind after the discovery that the most wanted drug-lord Heisenberg is his brother-in-law. He has good enough reasons to put a bullet right in the middle of his skull.

Jesse Kills Walt: In a moment of coming clean, Walt confesses to Jesse that he watched his girlfriend Jane (Krysten Ritter) die on a drug overdose and did not do anything to save her, for purely selfish reasons. Jesse already has had enough of Walt and his fixing of a problem via murder. He has a gun and the chances of a person surviving if shot from a close range is kind of bleak.

Walt Crosses over to Mexico: Cornered but not ready to accept defeat, Walt may decide to resurrect Heisenberg. He may cross over to Mexico and start cooking crystal-meth, again. This time he may become the international most wanted drug-lord Heisenberg. Jesse may decide to join him.

Walt Watches his Family Destroyed: He started off on the path of illegally cooking crystal-meth to ensure that his family and kids do not fall on bad times after he is gone. The man loves his family. He as Heisenberg has made plenty of enemies in the drug business and once they come to know the real identify of Walt, his family cannot escape their wrath. Wife and kids gone deep six-feet-under, he may put a gun to his temple and kills himself.

Hank Joins Hands with Walt: The upright Hank may join hands with Walt to cook crystal meth, which looks highly, highly unlikely. We would like to believe that there are some good men out there who just cannot transform into a Scarface. But, many good men have succumbed to the lure of money and cooking meth does pay well.

Walt becomes a Chemistry Teacher in Cuba: Walt knows his Chemistry and his CV is quite impressive. He may seek asylum in Cuba and become a Chemistry teacher there, till Jesse Pinkman knocks at his doors.

Walt becomes a Fugitive and an Open End: Walt may become a permanent fugitive who is always on the run, with no definite end provided. Breaking Bad is likely to have an open-end, which will make its fans go berserk with hyper discussions and analysis.
