I kinda agree in s2 and s3 things got so involving and out of hand but in the last season it really slowed down the pace and the ending was okay just not as big and brilliant as people might have hoped for. Still enjoyable but al the same.
I also not sure how a machine gun cuts so easily through a concrete wall. Would have been more interesting if only half the guys had died to the mg and there was a fight back.

Brilliant.
I was going to spoiler it, but that reference has been discussed several times in this thread so I figured it was no longer a no go

I thought this, but then if you look back at it, the noise of wall sounds like wood. Americans, do build most of their buildings with dry wall etc. Having said that, an M60 does have armour piercing rounds, so probably would go through concrete.

Just to stick up for the Lost finale a bit while I found both shows ended well I think I walked away from Lost more satisfied. Lost's ending was stronger, BB's final season was more consistent though IMO.

Brilliant finale, everything I wanted it to be and more. They tied up or the plot points worth tieing up we get to see badger and skinny pete as snipers (that was a brilliant scene when the red dots went on them), all the ******** dead in glorious fashion, walt dead in an acceptable way (ie he deserved it, but he died on his own terms)
what a show, and Im glad that Vince never once dumbed it down, shifted focus, Im glad that after season 1 and when I said this has to go dark and gritty and depressing or it will be **** , that it went in that direction. Unlike some other ****ing shows - DEXTER.
Talking Bad was good after, its clear that the cast both past and present have a lot of love for it. Jonathan Banks seemed like he was massively depressed that he was no longer in it.
Whilst i loved this part of the season, I do feel that 5A is the one that I will go back to time and again, It still had that airy can do attitude whilst getting a bit darker with some excellent plot points and not massively depressing like 5B is.
thats what happens when you read internet BS. There was no way Greymatter werent going to be in the final after the previous episode , no way.

I was starting to think everyone else had forgotten about GreyMatter. Someone wrote in a post a while back that the Swartz pair were unavailable and that the TV appearance scene would be it. Thankfully he was so very wrong.

Why when a look is all we need. From one look we understood everything they were thinking, we dont need some hockey words to tell us that.

I recognized one of the Neo Nazi's from Whitehouse Down... he plays almost the same character... in fact I can't tell what the difference is/was lol.
What a great ending to the series, I must admit got worried watching the first episode of Season 5 A, and saw him pull out a M60 and thought wtf he aint gonna suddenly turn into Rambo??
Used it as a Walter White would, from the touch of a button
Great series, great story and great cast, but most of all well done to Walt and Vince the creator! A somewhat sad scene him seeing his daughter for last time..
Whats left now..oh Sons of Anarchy Season 6

It was a good ending but I felt it could have been a lot braver in the choices it made. Killing Walt was inevitable but the only other characters to get killed were the Nazis/Lydia. Jesse, Skyler, Marie, Flynn, Holly, Gretchen and Elliott all lived, where I had expected a good number of them to be at serious risk. When Walt gave Jesse the gun at the end I thought he was going to use it to kill himself right in front of Walt. They spent the entire series underlining that his character was basically destroyed as a human being so it would have been a fitting end. It also would have meant the show itself died as it lived - by confounding expectations and shocking the audience. By comparison the finale felt very safe.
Still great stuff.

Good, I'm glad they went for safe because in all honesty, I'm getting annoyed at all the crap endings (especially ambiguous ones) to much loved long-running series.
I'm pretty damned satisfied with the finale to be honest, pretty much everything was tied up nicely and there was just enough left to the imagination.
What a ride, I just wish Walt had took Marie out as well.
What's annoying me is that we can't view a lot of the extra content on the US websites - time to move one of my VPSs to New York and set up a VPN I think!
