The final episode of Breaking Bad ties up all loose ends. As was expected, Walt didn't simply keel over and accept death. He did something. He did everything. He payed for his mistakes in a majestic way. At the same time, he fulfilled his primary objective, which was to provide money for his family's future. The biggest meth empire, run by the slavery of Jesse, the Neo-Nazis, and Lydia, came to a welcomed fall all at the hands of the genius chemist, Mr. White. The cold but acknowledging nod between Walt and Jesse sums up the turbulence of their past. And the accepting smile of Walt as he laid lifelessly on the cold floor of the Lab reveals that happiness had finally reached an existence of regret. The story of the entire show from beginning to end was as though it was your own story. You became Walter White, a normal man, befallen with the monstrosity of cancer. You become so absorbed by his life that you take on his fears, hate, and guilt. As he made decisions that he thought were right, he slowly realized just how fragile and imperfect he was. And so you, the viewer, also realize that you are capable of traversing a similar path. Even though Walt was imperfect, and paid justly for those imperfections, there is no doubt that this show is as close to perfect as we will witness a TV show in this generation. Breaking Bad is truly a masterpiece.
