Season 4, Episode 13
10/10
Face Off is the best season finale for this series
9 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Oh boy look how far have we come since episode 401. Season 4 started off a little slow and didn't really pick up until episode 5. But since then, this show has been a roller coaster ride and "Face Off" finishes it off.

The episode starts off with Walt desperately retrieving the bomb under Gus' car and meeting Jesse in the hospital. Two police officers come to question Jesse about Brock's sickness and Walt tries to figure out how to take out his old boss. The episode is paced very well. There is action, there is drama and there are "Holy S***" moments that fans of the show will be dying for including the final seconds of this incredible episode.

I won't spoil anything further because this episode is so great. Walt finds an unlikely partner in his war with Gus and the plan they come up with is genius. Vince Gilligan, who wrote and directed the finale, did a superb job with this episode. The writing was excellent and the direction was smooth and effective.

"Face Off" is the best season finale compared to the other seasons. There is no big cliffhanger like the previous season finales but a "Holy S***" moment that truly changes the audience's mood . . . in a good way. Season 4 has really shown what great television really is. This was a fantastic season with an excellent ending. Season 4 might be the best season in the series so far. 10/10
