The most divine intervention.

I think nobody gets it, or I have serious issues with my perception.

After the car keys drop into Walter's lap, things take a religious turn. God has spoken to Walt. Walt earned his redemption. After that everything goes smooth and easy. Try to do right things, and even the most flawed, childish plans will work perfectly. Of course Gretchen and Elliot will deliver the money, of course everybody in the nazi compound will gather in the same room, and they will get Jesse there too. Of course everybody bad, except Todd and his uncle will be shot to dead. Then Walt takes his revenge (or delivers punishment), and Jesse punishes Todd. Walt dies at the right spot, Jesse comes clean (it was Heisenberg cooking all along), health nut Lydia is punished accordingly. There is no loose ends at all, none. They deliberately doesn't show the aftermath. Because when you accept the divine intervention, there is nothing left to worry about.

Walt talked to the God. He was in his lowest, weakest. He was full of hatred. And god descended upon him. I don't mean he just believes that like some lunatic, it really happened. That must be actually happened to everything to be worked out so well. After that he is serene, changed man. He does what he is told.

I am not a believer myself. But this is the only way for me to accept what happened in the Felina. Otherwise this is most unfulfilled and weak, crappy finale of all time.
