Breaking Bad: What ‘Not’ to Expect from Final Eight Episodes
Final eight episodes and then its curtains down for one of the most appreciated and critically acclaimed drama series in recent times. AMC's cult drama Breaking Bad returns this Sunday, August 11, 2013 for its last season. With each episode, the drama turned a shade darker and kept the audience at the edge of their seats. The expectations are high from the final eight and Vince Gilligan has said, "most folks are gonna dig the ending." This is a list of what not to expect from the second part of final season 5 of Breaking Bad:
Walter White (Bryan Cranston) tells his wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) "I'm out." This "I'm out" is never going to happen. Walt has gone too deep into the cooking crystal meth trade to reach the exit door. He would never become the same old, mild-mannered Chemistry teacher, even if his brother-in-law (Dean Norris) decides to not out him. Walt as Heisenberg has experienced the thrill of power and money and it becomes difficult to be on the return path after that.
The family get-togethers beside the swimming pool are no longer possible. The swimminng pool has turned into a skating track for the kids. A brief teaser of Breaking Bad alludes to Walt becoming a fugitive. He seems to be on the run. The abandoned house and crystal meth cooking drug-lord name, 'Heisenberg', written on the walls are what the fans of Breaking Bad are going to see. Walt and Skyler's home is not going to be a happy home for their kids, Junior Walt and his little sister Hope.
Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) is "terrified and is "emptied out," according to Paul. The character said, "I'm not coming back" in the final episode of Season 5a. It is highly unlikely that Walt and Jesse will remain estranged for the final eight hours. The roots of theirs have entangled and one cannot expect them to move out in different directions.
Hank (Dean Norris) coming out of the toilet and giving a tight hug to Walt and say, "Great Man, you are Heisenberg and I've been looking for you for so long."
The end will not leave the audience remembering the idiom, 'not with a bang but a whimper'. And, don't expect 'And, they lived happily ever after' kind of fairy-tale ending. Gilligan said in an interview to Vulure, "We're not gonna please everyone, we're not gonna please everyone.... It's going to be polarizing no matter how you slice it ..."
We can expect the final eight episodes to become intensely dark and also there will be tears.
