Catch up time plus Breaking Bad Finale...

Hello people

I realize I've not put up many posts on here recently as I had been doing. With my other blog I started recently, PRESS START, which is getting a great response, and all the games I've been playing and reviewing and television I've been watching, I guess something has to fall behind.

But now that I've got a week off, I am playing catch up. Also this week gives me a chance to get some headway with my next installment of short stories which I am hoping to get released by mid November.

*SPOILER ALERT*

I don't know if anyone watched the Breaking Bad finale last week, but if you did, how amazing was it? It's been a long time since I've seen a TV series that actually answered pretty much everything and didn't leave any unanswered questions. Walter White (Bryan Cranston) got the ending that he deserved, but as much as his character became more and more evil throughout the series as he embraced his dark and criminal side, I couldn't help but feel sympathy for him in the finale episode as he returned to Albuquerque to right the wrongs, finally securing his families financial security, wiping out Todd, Lydia and Uncle Jacks gang, and freeing Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) who was held captive by the gang.

I honestly thought that Walter would either get killed by the hands of Jesse of at the hands or the cancer that started his downfall at the start of the series. But after seeing the finale I'm actually glad it was neither. I guess it would have been too obvious. Instead Walter succumbs to the stray bullet from the machine gun he had rigged from his car to wipe out Uncle Jacks gang whilst he dove on top of Jesse to protect him.

In the end it was sort of a happy ending, Jesse was free to live his life and finally free from not only the gang that held him captive but also from the manipulations of Walter White. Walter had made sure that his wife Skyler was able to make a deal with the DEA and go on with her life with their two kids. And even as he had one last look at the meth cooking equipment before collapsing to his death, he had a look on his face that was sort of like a smile, like he had finally completed what needed to be done.

It was one hell of a ride and I glad I started to watch it. There is a reason why it won an Emmy and also why it is in the Guinness book of records for highest rated TV series, which is thanks to its meta-score of 99/100 on MetaCritic.com.

Until next time peeps.

Take Care
