What a heavy episode. I really thought Gus was going to live but in order for the final season to work, he had to die... And you could see it coming from the opening minutes of the show but they did a superb job of building up to it through the episode. Some really classic moment all through, Jesse asking Walter if he brought a bomb into a hospital, Walter getting the neighbor to check out his house... I thought for sure she was going to be killed, heh, I was hoping for it :D Gus walking out after the explosion and then the reveal... Just awesome... And finally the huge reveal that Walter did in fact poison the kid.... WOW! What a way to end the season and set up for Walter to go completely scarface and destroy himself and everyone around him in the last season.
I've seen a lot of comments that this could have been a series ending show but... This show does not call for a happy ending, just like The Shield (which, they wimped out on, Vic should have died), it calls for a complete and epic crash landing for Walter. We need to have that close-up of his face with realization dawning on him that he has ruined everything and everyone around him... Just before he gets a bullet from behind.
Yeah... Thats a bit grim I guess :D But I also think it would cap this show as one of the best of all time.
