Truly magnificent Someone on NPR was complaining that Walt got exactly what he wanted and got away punishment free, but I'd have to disagree, he got the punishment he thought he deserved in episode one, and even tried to give himself. That scene with Skyler was simply amazing too.

In my headcanon, Jesse adopted Brock and became an artismonster cock woodworker.
Also, here's a semi-official (as in, comes from the actor, not from anyone else involved in the show) explanation of whatever happened to Huell (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5f24c5785e/huell-s-rules).

I know on talking bad Aaron Paul said he was unsure what Jessie would do because he was completely free. Jonathan Banks added that he knew Jessie would go back for Brock right away though.

I was kind of disappointed with the ending actually, because I really wanted to see what happened to everyone who's not Walt. Yeah, I know it's his story, but I just couldn't bring myself to care about him at the end.
Personally, I can't see Jesse being able to step in as a parent for Brock. Even if he did manage to get custody, I think it would just be too much knowing that it was his involvement in the meth trade and getting on Walt's bad side that got Andrea killed.

At first, I felt the same way, but the more I think about it the more I like it. I personally want to imagine happy endings for Jesse, Skyler, Walt Jr & everyone else, but some people want more realistic endings, and this way we can all get what we want without arguments over what should have happened to them. As it stands, my only complaint about the otherwise great finale is that Walt's last words were so lame: "goodbye, Lydia".
I hope that now they reveal that Better Call Saul is actually a sequel, and not a prequel like they've been claiming. There's so much comedic potential.

I'm really happy with the ending. I loved the bit with Jesse driving away like a maniac. I'm also kind of impressed that they managed to make me kind of sad seeing Walt die, despite the fact that I hated him and wanted him dead for ages.
They've also pretty much ensured that I'll never be able to hear Baby Blue again without thinking of that scene.

There were alternate endings where, among other scenarios, Walt is the only one left alive and everyone else is dead (http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/vince-gilligan-says-there-was-a-much-harsher-version-of-the-breaking-bad-finale-they-didnt-use-more-20130930?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter).

Pretty unlikely. If Saul was going to set up shop somewhere else he wouldn't be buying a new identity. He's so deeply tied to the Heisenberg case he knows the feds would nab him if he went back to lawyering.

I've talked about this a couple of times now, but I really didn't like the last episode very much.
It wasn't loathsome, but in a show that did such a terrific job being surprising, and even moreso in the two episodes leading up to it, the final episode really just felt like a fanscript.
The nazis get what's coming to them
Lydia gets what's coming to her
Jesse gets revenge and then drives off into the sunset
Walt admits that this "I'm doing this for my family" line is a bunch of bullshit, then dies like a king
It's really just too many boxes ticked. I know people are looking for the closure that the show offered, but nothing was exceptionally engaging about the finale. The pacing was even pretty slow.
Also, that exchange between Walt and the Nazi Leader was some James Bond garbage. We're gonna kill this guy, but let's first take him inside. Okay, we're gonna kill you now, do you have any last words? I'm a pussy? You're a pussy! Let me demonstrate something to you before I shoot you in the head because I care what you think. The episode was fine, that entire scene was a horrible contrivance and I hated it.

I already know how this show ended. The allen took off his mask and it was Walter White Junior.

I liked the finale but I can definitely see that it wasn't by any means the most satisfying
But I loved the ride and now I'm sad that I tore through it so fast because there's no more of it
