![]() ![]() Though “End Times” did foreshadow the reveal by showing Walt’s spinning gun pointing at the Lily of the Valley plant, the finale still left some blanks to be filled in by outside interviews. A chill ran down my spine at hearing his smug delivery of the “I won” line to Skyler – where Jesse is wrecked by any violence he has to perform on another person, Walt is just so damned pleased to have outdueled the Chicken Man – but that was nothing compared to my reaction when the camera pushed in on the Lily of the Valley plant in the final shot. As bad as Walter White has broken so far, I was nodding right along with him when he told Jesse that he would never hurt a child. ![]() So I was able to review one episode and then watch another without letting either be tainted by knowledge or speculation about what was to come, and in the case of finding out the truth about what went down with Brock(*), I was able to be floored by a possibility I had barely considered to that point. And I was sure glad on both of those fronts, because it would have been damned hard to review “End Times” without betraying what I knew about what really happened to Brock, and because I had bought into Walt’s speech to Jesse about what happened to Brock, while virtually every comment on my “End Times” review is a debate between those who think Gus poisoned Brock, those who think Walt did it, and the minority who think it was just an accident. A review of the “Breaking Bad” season 4 finale coming up just as soon as I wait around for a plate glass guy to come…īecause Vince Gilligan had a limited window of availability to discuss the finale – in an interview you can read here – I had to watch “Face Off” last Friday, before “End Times” had aired but after I had written my review. ![]()
