It finally comes to an end.
In the previous post, I wrote that I started watching Breaking Bad. Last Monday, as I've mentioned on Twitter, I was 12 episodes away from its final. Wednesday midnight, I finished watching the last episode: Season 5 Episode 16 (S516).
I couldn't articulate my feelings well enough, but I am extremely sad that the show ends. The whole Breaking Bad experience for me, as an audience, is brilliant. Story is brilliant, outstanding performance from the actors and actresses, and the entire crew shows great love and passion in making the show as great as we know it. They're perfect. Even more so, those sentiments I feel dearly after watching the Making of Season 5.
The Making of video is 2 hours long, I watched it three times. On Thursday I watched like an hour of it, didn't continue because I was sleepy and tired. Last night I wanted to watch it until the end, but couldn't do it again. This morning, finally, I watched the rest one hour. The video gives a mixture feelings. You saw one by one actors' last scene on the set, how they bid good bye to the crew, writers, directors, and the people they've worked with together for a wonderful six years (2008-2013), those very last moments before the "cut" out. It was wonderful and sad. I cried during RJ Mitte's piece, Betsy Brandt's solo kitchen-telephone scene too, Anna Gunn's last scene as well, and ultimately when Aaron Paul shot his very last scene in the desert with Brian Cranston. Man, SO MUCH FEELINGS. Feelings are real. (insert many crying tears emoji here)
The story on Season 5 is getting darker and it caused me a hard emotional roller coaster. There's this curiosity of how the story will end, when is Hank gonna die (on the middle of season 3 I googled on Jane x Jessie, and I read the plot about his death), but I also don't want it to end. It's hard, you know. I saw more and more characters either die or go (Gus Fringe, Mike!!, Saul Goodman!, HANK, GOMEZ). In short, I would love to watch them again in the future. It's hard to break from the show which makes me want to learn chemistry again, just so I could really understand Mr. White's quotations and dialogues.
Final words, it's an honor to be one of Breaking Bad viewers. What makes it more special is this is the first show that I actually finished. So, again, SO MUCH FEELINGS. I also want to applause the music and scoring team, Mr. White or Walter's last scene had a very well-chosen song to accompany his final seconds on S516. Badfinger's "Baby Blue" which is a song from their 1971 LP "Straight Up" amazingly has lyrics that MATCH WELL with Breaking Bad's story (?!?!?). How do they do that. *applause*
A special love for this show, forever.
