Ozimandias: anyone else cried?



i was terribly sad and cried during this Awesome episode where everything explodes goes out of hands.
Most saddening scenes are
Hank -" Walt you are the samrtest man i ever known, u r too stupid to see it" after realizing Walt is ready to give all his money to save him and he was wrong about Walt.

Hank's death

Walt -" Hank crossed me, you r never gonna see him again" lying to Marie, his son that he killed him, controlling his tears.

Jesse chained in the Lab, beaten bruttally, seeing the photo of Andrea,
i remembered the young happy Jesse in season 1 during that.

the episode was so intense! i cried after watching it.

About Jesse? Yeah, that was messed up, I can only imagine the hell he went through. Especially in Granite State, too.

I always despised Hank so his death didn't really bother me. it was hard for me to sympathize with Walt in the last parts of the series so him being devastated didn't really have an emotional impact on me like it did a lot of fans.

i too didnt like Hank much after what he did to Walt, but seeing him dying, means we can never see him again.
about walt, he had to bear the crime and accusations that he never did, killing Hank, torturing his Wife, infront of everyone including Walt Jr. and Marie. If people aresaid lie and hide the truth in a story, even after ending, thats meesed up and sad.

everyone wants the lie to be unearthed in any movie, series or story. in breaking bad it never happened, so it makes me very sad for Walt.

so it makes me very sad for Walt.


It is tough to reconcile anyone feeling sad for Walter White. The man made poor choice after poor choice in his life, beginning with choosing to leave Gray Matter after feeling socially inferior to Gretchen's family. The downward spiral began there, before the main events of BrBa.

Walt, in the final analysis, is not a sympathetic character. He is a monster who destroys his family and several others in the name of his own hubris. Did his actions rid the world of some unsavory, bad people? Yes. Was it Walt's intention to do so? Absolutely not.

Flynn and Holly are the only two characters who were completely innocent throughout the show's run.

"Flynn and Holly are the only two characters who were completely innocent throughout the show's run."

"Innocent"? Yes. But... Flynn was a fucking pain in the ass and it just kept getting worse. It was like he never wanted to listen to other people and had always his mind made up even though most of the times he was completely off the track. So yeah innocent or not, he was an annoying little brat.

I didn't cry but I sure as hell wanted most of the characters death after this episode. In the end the only two characters for whom I had sympathy were Saul Goodman and Walter Jr. And even then, the only reason I didn't wish Walter Jr. any bad was because he was a kid because let's be honest... He was a fucking pain in the ass.
