"I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And...I was...really...I was alive." Perfect acting and delivery. Just sums up everything Walt has gone through those 2 years excellently.

Not really, my friend. Even in these final moments with his family, he was dishonest and manipulative. He told Skyler he had no money left, while he had about 10m remaining. 10m he coerced Gretchen and Elliot to "donate" to them. I can understand his logic, sure, but still. His last day on earth, his last time with his wife and daughter, and he is still the monster they grew to fear and be disgusted by.
Yeah up until that moment Walt never outright said that they’re dead and buried. Sure he implied it but when he gave her the coordinates and told her that’s where their bodies are it crushed any delusion that she may have had that Hank could still be alive some where
@Tech wow he's no English teacher but at least he has a life and doesn't just go through the comments of a social media post to tell everyone to shut up even though that's exactly what a COMMENT section is for. Not only no life but no brain either... guess you're no teacher either Mr "tech"
It’s nice to see that there was closure on the whole Hank incident For 6 months, Skyler thought Walt was the one who murdered Hank and obviously hated him for it It’s nice to know that she knows despite the fact Walt is a savage criminal he still valued family and didn’t want any of them harmed
I don’t know how Bryan Cranston does the lazy eye acting 3:22 but I love it. It makes it seem like he’s reminiscing with one eye and talking to Skylar with the other.
I wouldn't have much faith. While Walt is far way enough to where those chunks aren't loaded, Jack arrived to the scene of Walt's arrest rather quickly, so they probably may have despawned because of jack 😶
"Tell them I wanted bacon and eggs for my birthday." To me, this is Walt completely shedding his ego and no longer caring what the world thinks of him. He's fine with everyone thinking he's an abusive monster so long as *he knows* everything is set right.
@@LaurenAtTenn I agree, though I also agree with OP, he could of argued with skylar, could of explained more, but he didn't, even when she thought he was about to say he did it for them, he didn't argue back and just became honest. I think after walt realized his son lost respect for him and refused the money, is when he shredded his ego, and it gave him perspective like jesse had in terms of accepting who he had become. I do think he started out with the intention of doing it for his family, but it shifted when he left the business and couldn't let it go
He didn't shed his ego. He embraced it. To the very end he wanted to do things his way, die on his terms. Hence why he tried pushing Jesse to kill him; he wanted his protege to end it and Jesse refused. The whole point was that Walt was always an egotistical man that felt the world wronged him. He didn't want to admit it, hence his BS rationale throughout the whole show. This scene shows he gave up on hiding behind a facade; this was always about him, still is.
I actually think it’s a more personal statement. Suggesting that if he had never done what he did, his birthday would’ve been with his family and he would’ve actually gotten the eggs and bacon. Some thing that he took for granted until he started not getting it. Pretty much taking for granted everything he had before he started.
The look of relief on Skyler’s face when he finally admits that he did it all for him all along is so heartbreaking as she finally got him to admit what she wanted to hear all along; that he wasn’t a selfless hero sacrificing it all for the family but a prideful, self-destructive egomaniac who didn’t care what harm he brought to those around him… but it’s too late for that admission to mean anything. It’s nice to hear it, to know that the man she loved isn’t going to his grave in denial about who he is and was, and what he’s done, but so much has been suffered and lost that it’s almost a meaningless admission now. Her children have no uncle, and Flynn doesn’t want his father around, because of his prior arrogance and pride. At this point, she’ll take what she can get from Walt, any small victory she can, because she’s suffered too much for any more defeats to wear her down more than everything already has.

Felina is my favorite episode of the series. Walter’s final journey to try to set things right and redeem himself is both gripping and darkly relatable. Scenes like this are what make Felina such a deeply satisfying finale to the series, seeing Walter finally finding the will to be honest with his wife and himself was such an incredible moment. Even after everything that happened, they still loved each other in the end and that served to make this sequence all the more captivating.
After everything that happened, he saved his family and he saved Jesse. There will never be redemption for someone as evil as him, but in the end its hard to deny that he killed a lot of neo-nazis, set the cartel back 50 years, raised awareness about the dangers of drug use, and his closest co-worker as well as his wife and kids are still alive through all of it.
He didn't redeem himself. He took a small step toward regaining his humanity and he succeeded, but there was no way to redeem himself, not really. And he knew that. And Skyler doesn't love Walt anymore, she hadn't for a long time. She was mourning the person she thought he was when she married him, the comforting lie that he was someone who once could have never been capable of this. She was stricken because she knew there was no going back from the hard truths she had seen the last few months.
2:52 My favorite moment of the series. The man who felt beat down rose up and did bad things for a taste of power and finally comes to the realization why he did the things he did and why he became the "bad guy"... why he broke bad.
Greatest show of all time, numbers don't lie. It's at 9.5/10 on imdb. I don't think people understand how difficult this is to achieve especially a show that had like a 5 year run time.
Numbers lie all the time. Having the highest (tied) rating on imdb doesn't make a show objectively great because objectivity doesn't exist with subjective matters. I personally find it great, but I'd put it at the back half of the top ten on my personal list. Citizen Kane has a high imdb rating and is like watching a tax lecture.
The pain they are both able to convey is incredible. The reality of what his decisions caused and how it has impacted them and their children haunts me and keeps me straight. Amazing.
pretty crazy that walt used the lottery to stash his empire earnings for his family's freedom.. and when that was robbed and turned into a burial site he still used the lottery to help his family back to freedom!
Yeah I always saw the lottery ticket as a metaphor for closure and wealth. Like yes, people win money with those tickets. But his ticket was used as GPS coordinates which led to his money, but eventually turned into Hank and Steve Gomez's burial site 😳🤔
@@TheHishugeness What he means is they were initially the coordinates of the money he buried and that was how he intended to tell Skylar where it was so she could retrieve it, if she wanted, after he died. But then the money was stolen and Hank/Steve were buried in the same spot so it became the coordinates for a burial site.
Felina was the episode where Walt essentially redeemed himself. He finally admitted that he did all this to pump his ego, to make him feel better about himself. To feel alive. He stopped lying to himself and let go of his ego. He wanted to one to provide for his family, but when he knew everything was on the line and that he didn’t have that much time left, he threatened Gretchen and Elliot. He didn’t care if they knew that it came from him anymore. He just wanted to give them the money.
@@Suyash-ve truthfully can you blame that person I mean look at everyone else it’s a hot potato of conspiracy theories and thinking he hasn’t changed and blah blah blah. Just look at the program properly!
@@Suyash-vehow many people still unironically say “Walter didn’t do anything wrong?” How many people deny that Walter was a horrible human being that ruined the lives of the people around him? So yeah, quite a lot of people don’t understand it and sometimes it’s necessary to spell it out. This was finally the moment Walter redeemed himself and admitted that he did it all for himself.
Walt didn't "essentially redeem" himself. Not even remotely close. He's an evil man, died an evil man. Doing 1 slightly less evil thing to make up for doing 99 evil things doesn't "redeem" you.

"I liked it, I was good at it, and I was really... I was alive." Honestly, one of the simplest yet most acceptable explanations as to why so many criminals or villains do what they do. Some have complex and complicated motivations for making the choices they have or have been broken emotionally, morally, mentally, etc. but some people just do what they do because they're excellent at it and if they can find success in their life doing it, who's stopping them?
@@G.A.C_Preserve if God does not exist, Good and evil don't exist. Why can't evil people simply admit they are evil instead of playing this tug of war game where they go "God don't exist, who are we to know what is right and wrong. Objective reality does not exist".
@@kingalastor936 Well in that case good and evil doesn't exist because there is absolutely 100% no god. You're supposed to let go of your imaginary friends once you become an adult.
Bryan Cranston is of course great here, but the real star of this scene is Anna Gunn. The understated emotion and pain behind every line is just so phenomenal and heartbreaking.
Yeah it annoys me how much people hate on Skylar. She acted exactly as a pregnant wife and mother with minimal income would in response to her dying husband becoming a withdrawn criminal. Her immediate acceptance of becoming a mob boss wife from a sururbia house wife would have been really unrealistic. And her acting was always great.
@@scotthenderson292 people hate skylar because of how much of a hypocrite she is. She played a part in it by Laundering Walter’s money and was also ungrateful. Granted Walter was getting out of hand and she wanted to protect her family but even when Walter killed Gus she was somehow still dissatisfied and was afraid of Walter when he was the 1 eliminating any danger they encountered.
I think Walt did it for both his family and, later, himself. But if he hadn't said to Skyler that he did all these things just for him, Skyler would later suspect the money of Gretchen and Elliot. Now that he told her that he did it for himself, Skyler will be less suspicious about the 9 million they will receive because the chances of Walter making Gretchen and Elliot give them such a big amount of his money--especially after he said he spent it all--will seem very low. Walter said the perfect things to make his family not suspect that 9 million they will receive.
I always missed that last moment of silence before. When he stops speaking there's a moment where the tension breaks down between them and they both exhale. It's like for a moment, as they both know he's dying, they're on an honest footing after everything he's done and Skylar has her husband back. This idea possessing him evaporates. There's nothing to be said. And then he has to go.
I just noticed how Skyler's face is reflected in the microwave. Knowing how creators are masters of visual storytelling leads me to a conclusion that Skyler is, in fact, popcorn.
Five seasons of emotional buildup was perfectly signed, sealed, and delivered with 16 words and one of the most satisfying payoffs in the history of film. Walt spent five seasons of dealing poison, lying, stealing, and murdering but was always convinced that he was the good guy. He convinced that the ends justified the means and that he was really doing this because he loved his family so much. The audience and everyone else around him finds out pretty quickly that he's really doing it for himself and he's using his family as an excuse to build up his broken ego. I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. I was alive. Not a single loose thread was to be found when the credits of the last episode started to roll. Every physical and emotional storyline was resolved to glorious perfection. This is why breaking Bad is the greatest TV show of all time.
1:59 i wonder if Skylar still had hope of Hank being alive somewhere. That was the point she really regreted not turning Walt in right in the begining.
2:00 Skylar wanted so hard to believe that Hank was still alive, that somehow it was all a lie, until finally having that final confirmation that crushed her all over again.
When Breaking Bad began Walter White was a scared, desperate, little man. He did a bad thing, but he liked it, he was good at it, he felt alive. Breaking Bad was such a great show because it showed the metamorphosis of a scared little man turning into something big. But it was only a TV show and we (society/culture) need not emulate the drama or do bad things to make ourselves feel big. Instead of "breaking bad" a man should experience this same kind of metamorphosis but, for good. For the good of his family, for the good of his community, for the good of himself, to the glory of God. Now that would be a man to be proud of. That's a man who would truly be alive.
To be honest, this version of Walter White, I consider to be the most powerful version of Walter White, broken Walter White is what I like to call him At this Point of the story, Walter White is not holding back, He doesn’t allow his ego to get in the Way of accomplishing his goals, which is to provide for his family and taking down Jack for what he did to Hank
2:34 I love how they intelligently showed a seperation between Walt and Skyler. Just like things will never be the same and they will always be apart from now.
Something that I’ve only just noticed is how well Bryan acts being a cancer-stricken man. If you watch him closely you can see the way he walks is almost limping but not quite, it’s so convincing
1:10 He said he spent the last of the money getting there, so that when those two coworkers gave the money to his family, they wouldn’t know it was his.
I did it for me, he said. Here was a guy who played by the rules. He wasn't a taker. He abided by the law, worked for the man, raised a child, all for the greater good. He was selfless. But then he got the bad news, he was dying, and he decided that before he died he was going to live. It would be open to all of us, in those circumstances, to do just that, but most of us wouldn't. So when I first heard Walt deliver that line, when he finally stopped lying, I almost cheered. A great scene, they're both superb in it.
Skyler was an absolute tour de force. A character everyone hated despite her moral high ground. This moment of release is some of her finest acting, this show, and these two actors in particular, deserve the many Emmy’s they won.
While Walt finally admitting “I did it for me” is immensely satisfying, it’s also kind of sad that he doesn’t really regret doing it either, despite the fallout. I believe he would do it all over again if he could; his family, Jesse and everyone else be dammed. Walt was the “mask” for Heisenberg.
Best scene in the show for me. Walt finally tells the truth. A sad goodbye. I also love the part cut out of this clip, the one where Walt sees Holly for the last time and Skyler watches in the background, very bittersweet like a taste of how it could've been if Walt had never began cooking. He claimed at first that he did it for his family, but in the end he leaves his family completely shattered due to his own greed. Such a sad ending, well except Jesse getting his freedom back.
I can not believe people who watched only 1 season of Breaking Bad and did not finish it missing scenes like this, because they think it's boring. It's like..... keep watching and you will be entertained like anything else you had it before.
I saw a post a while before this episode came out talking about how Felina would be the perfect name for the final episode. I’m only just now discovering that it happened. Very rewarding to see a good idea become reality
I donno why am i crying so bad watching this scene now, the melancholy the sadness in the voice of Walter anyone can say it's different from other episodes & the way he said regarding to flynn "He Did"
That last sentence is brutally honest. That's the real reason behind ANY human behaviour. We never do anything for the others. We might think we do, but ultimately we do what we do because how we expect to feel afterwards, or how we'll feel if we don't.
Thats a very self-centered view of human behavior. Yes some people do things just to make themselves feel better, but some people genuinely do things for others. Not everyone is selfish and certainly not all the time.
Its called psychological egoism and its not really taken seriously or useful at all because it reduces motivations to trivial conclusions. I.e All motivations are trivially selfish based on how we feel afterwards. I don't give up my life to actually help anyone else, I give up my life because I will feel good about helping that other person. But "feeling" is used basically synonymously with desire. So in essence you're saying "People do what they desire to do" and so yes, it is trivially true, but it gives no insight and is a worthless observation.
He looks so pathetic and defeated; and all that pretty much falls on him, he tasted the power and didn't want to let it go until it destroyed almost everybody around him. He had a quick death, but the pain he had to deal inside of his mind took much longer; he probably deserved to be even longer imo
Quite possibly the best series ever made. At least for myself. It's always been consistent. I don't think there's a single bad episode. I don't remember the last time a show had a satisfying ending.
Feel sad for walt fam. The first time Walt became kingpin because he always felt neglected, his son was more proud of Hank, he felt unappreciated because he was only a chemistry teacher n suffered from cancer. He then feels alive when he becomes Kingpin, able to frustrate Hank
"I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And...I was...really...I was alive."

Felina is my favorite episode of the series. Walter’s final journey to try to set things right and redeem himself is both gripping and darkly relatable. Scenes like this are what make Felina such a deeply satisfying finale to the series, seeing Walter finally finding the will to be honest with his wife and himself was such an incredible moment. Even after everything that happened, they still loved each other in the end and that served to make this sequence all the more captivating.
After everything that happened, he saved his family and he saved Jesse. There will never be redemption for someone as evil as him, but in the end its hard to deny that he killed a lot of neo-nazis, set the cartel back 50 years, raised awareness about the dangers of drug use, and his closest co-worker as well as his wife and kids are still alive through all of it.
For me, it’s either FeLiNa or A Hand Full of Nothin
the fly episode was better
He didn't redeem himself. He took a small step toward regaining his humanity and he succeeded, but there was no way to redeem himself, not really. And he knew that. And Skyler doesn't love Walt anymore, she hadn't for a long time. She was mourning the person she thought he was when she married him, the comforting lie that he was someone who once could have never been capable of this. She was stricken because she knew there was no going back from the hard truths she had seen the last few months.
This, Ozymandias & Face Off are the greatest episodes imo
2:52 My favorite moment of the series. The man who felt beat down rose up and did bad things for a taste of power and finally comes to the realization why he did the things he did and why he became the "bad guy"... why he broke bad.

Greatest show of all time, numbers don't lie. It's at 9.5/10 on imdb. I don't think people understand how difficult this is to achieve especially a show that had like a 5 year run time.
Up there with Deadwood. Funny, how many actors have significant roles in 2 shows that could be debated as being the GOAT? Can't think of any other

Numbers lie all the time. Having the highest (tied) rating on imdb doesn't make a show objectively great because objectivity doesn't exist with subjective matters. I personally find it great, but I'd put it at the back half of the top ten on my personal list. Citizen Kane has a high imdb rating and is like watching a tax lecture.

@@ratmations8306 regarding what. Critical acclaim? This is all a matter of opinion, so it's not a lie. "Let us ignore that" 😂😂😂🫶
The pain they are both able to convey is incredible. The reality of what his decisions caused and how it has impacted them and their children haunts me and keeps me straight. Amazing.
pretty crazy that walt used the lottery to stash his empire earnings for his family's freedom.. and when that was robbed and turned into a burial site he still used the lottery to help his family back to freedom!
Yeah I always saw the lottery ticket as a metaphor for closure and wealth. Like yes, people win money with those tickets. But his ticket was used as GPS coordinates which led to his money, but eventually turned into Hank and Steve Gomez's burial site 😳🤔
Pretty astute observation
He didn't use the lottery to stash his money. The numbers he played on the ticket where the coordinates of Hank's body
@@TheHishugeness What he means is they were initially the coordinates of the money he buried and that was how he intended to tell Skylar where it was so she could retrieve it, if she wanted, after he died. But then the money was stolen and Hank/Steve were buried in the same spot so it became the coordinates for a burial site.
Might also imply that all what he did throughout the series was a lottery gamble. He won the lottery but he lost more
Felina was the episode where Walt essentially redeemed himself. He finally admitted that he did all this to pump his ego, to make him feel better about himself. To feel alive. He stopped lying to himself and let go of his ego. He wanted to one to provide for his family, but when he knew everything was on the line and that he didn’t have that much time left, he threatened Gretchen and Elliot. He didn’t care if they knew that it came from him anymore. He just wanted to give them the money.

So yeah, quite a lot of people don’t understand it and sometimes it’s necessary to spell it out. This was finally the moment Walter redeemed himself and admitted that he did it all for himself.
Walt didn't "essentially redeem" himself. Not even remotely close. He's an evil man, died an evil man.
Doing 1 slightly less evil thing to make up for doing 99 evil things doesn't "redeem" you.
I wish I could watch this and Better Call Saul again for the first time. Both shows are masterpieces.
Well said. I also wish I could play Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time, amazing story.

"I liked it, I was good at it, and I was really... I was alive."
Honestly, one of the simplest yet most acceptable explanations as to why so many criminals or villains do what they do. Some have complex and complicated motivations for making the choices they have or have been broken emotionally, morally, mentally, etc. but some people just do what they do because they're excellent at it and if they can find success in their life doing it, who's stopping them?
God? Stopping them from entering heaven?

This scene was a relief after all the grief Skyler was put through she forgave him and let him see holly
I dont think she forgave him tbh
She didn’t forgive him lmfao and his son will always grow up hating him
Put through? She ain’t go through nothing except an affair. She’s the worst. Just like her sister.
If someone is in the position to forgive it’s Walter. He fought for his family and Skyler cheated on him
@@Kim.Ju-ae lol stop trolling
The way Walt closes his eyes and takes it in again is so good
Bryan Cranston is of course great here, but the real star of this scene is Anna Gunn. The understated emotion and pain behind every line is just so phenomenal and heartbreaking.
Yeah it annoys me how much people hate on Skylar. She acted exactly as a pregnant wife and mother with minimal income would in response to her dying husband becoming a withdrawn criminal. Her immediate acceptance of becoming a mob boss wife from a sururbia house wife would have been really unrealistic.
And her acting was always great.
@@scotthenderson292 people hating skylar so much shows how great of an actor Anna Gunn is
@@scotthenderson292 I've been seeing more and more people appreciate Anna Gunn for her acting over the last year or so and it's great to see
Not to mention the visible relief after hearing the truth from Walt.
@@scotthenderson292 people hate skylar because of how much of a hypocrite she is. She played a part in it by Laundering Walter’s money and was also ungrateful. Granted Walter was getting out of hand and she wanted to protect her family but even when Walter killed Gus she was somehow still dissatisfied and was afraid of Walter when he was the 1 eliminating any danger they encountered.
“I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it.” That line lives rent free in my head
I think Walt did it for both his family and, later, himself. But if he hadn't said to Skyler that he did all these things just for him, Skyler would later suspect the money of Gretchen and Elliot. Now that he told her that he did it for himself, Skyler will be less suspicious about the 9 million they will receive because the chances of Walter making Gretchen and Elliot give them such a big amount of his money--especially after he said he spent it all--will seem very low. Walter said the perfect things to make his family not suspect that 9 million they will receive.
I think that either way she will think and suspect of Walt, even a minimum thought she had to had.
Especially since it’s such a large and specific amount
Lol! No way, why would Gretchen and Elliott give them 9 mil?
@@billyin4c514Because then the 2 best assassins this side of the Mississippi would come after them.

I always missed that last moment of silence before. When he stops speaking there's a moment where the tension breaks down between them and they both exhale. It's like for a moment, as they both know he's dying, they're on an honest footing after everything he's done and Skylar has her husband back. This idea possessing him evaporates. There's nothing to be said. And then he has to go.
I just noticed how Skyler's face is reflected in the microwave. Knowing how creators are masters of visual storytelling leads me to a conclusion that Skyler is, in fact, popcorn.
Bravo Vince
Popcorners*
This is subtle foreshadowing that Skyler is cooked.
Five seasons of emotional buildup was perfectly signed, sealed, and delivered with 16 words and one of the most satisfying payoffs in the history of film. Walt spent five seasons of dealing poison, lying, stealing, and murdering but was always convinced that he was the good guy. He convinced that the ends justified the means and that he was really doing this because he loved his family so much. The audience and everyone else around him finds out pretty quickly that he's really doing it for himself and he's using his family as an excuse to build up his broken ego.
I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. I was alive.
Not a single loose thread was to be found when the credits of the last episode started to roll. Every physical and emotional storyline was resolved to glorious perfection. This is why breaking Bad is the greatest TV show of all time.
Agreed 💯
“They’re not coming back, not after tonight.”
1:59 i wonder if Skylar still had hope of Hank being alive somewhere. That was the point she really regreted not turning Walt in right in the begining.
I feel like she knew what he was going to say even though she asked but maybe a part of her was hoping he was still out there until he said this.
Walt admitting it not only gave Skyler relief. IT gave me relief
' You can't hide who you are forever '
2:00 Skylar wanted so hard to believe that Hank was still alive, that somehow it was all a lie, until finally having that final confirmation that crushed her all over again.
I like the dialogue 0:41 "They are not coming back, not after tonight" 🤩🤩
A lot of funny moments for each character. But Hank had the best ones... love the actor for doing such a good job😊
Imagine he actually won those lottery, it'll be quite a farewell gift.
When Breaking Bad began Walter White was a scared, desperate, little man. He did a bad thing, but he liked it, he was good at it, he felt alive. Breaking Bad was such a great show because it showed the metamorphosis of a scared little man turning into something big. But it was only a TV show and we (society/culture) need not emulate the drama or do bad things to make ourselves feel big. Instead of "breaking bad" a man should experience this same kind of metamorphosis but, for good. For the good of his family, for the good of his community, for the good of himself, to the glory of God. Now that would be a man to be proud of. That's a man who would truly be alive.
Walt was a serial killer hiding behind the guise of a chemistry teacher. He was always just one circumstance from revealing his true nature.
To be honest, this version of Walter White, I consider to be the most powerful version of Walter White, broken Walter White is what I like to call him
At this Point of the story, Walter White is not holding back, He doesn’t allow his ego to get in the Way of accomplishing his goals, which is to provide for his family and taking down Jack for what he did to Hank
The fact that Walt also mentioned Steve shows that he truly cares.
2:34 I love how they intelligently showed a seperation between Walt and Skyler. Just like things will never be the same and they will always be apart from now.
Something that I’ve only just noticed is how well Bryan acts being a cancer-stricken man. If you watch him closely you can see the way he walks is almost limping but not quite, it’s so convincing
the little cry skylar let go after learning about the burial site is the most raw reaction i've ever seen from her. Amazing act
The ending to this show is a masterpiece
Felina is indeed a PERFECT episode
Anna Gunn was AMAZING in this show and doesnt get enough credit
3:11 The way he actually unfocuses his eyes for the big line is great acting. I've done that many times absentmindedly when remembering things.
1:10 He said he spent the last of the money getting there, so that when those two coworkers gave the money to his family, they wouldn’t know it was his.
So cool of the architect to build a house with a random column in the kitchen so they could have a shot of it dividing Walt and Skylar.
For me this is the best scene in television history. It completely brought Walt's character around in a way nothing else could.
They're still breaking bad till this day
I did it for me, he said. Here was a guy who played by the rules. He wasn't a taker. He abided by the law, worked for the man, raised a child, all for the greater good. He was selfless. But then he got the bad news, he was dying, and he decided that before he died he was going to live. It would be open to all of us, in those circumstances, to do just that, but most of us wouldn't. So when I first heard Walt deliver that line, when he finally stopped lying, I almost cheered. A great scene, they're both superb in it.
He was always evil, just not as evil.
He is an ungrateful nihilist, cowardly weak and prideful man who always used his family as an excuse.
Considering that Walter was depressed and had no prospects at the beginning of the series, it doesn't surprise me what a time bomb this guy was.
Skyler was an absolute tour de force. A character everyone hated despite her moral high ground. This moment of release is some of her finest acting, this show, and these two actors in particular, deserve the many Emmy’s they won.
While Walt finally admitting “I did it for me” is immensely satisfying, it’s also kind of sad that he doesn’t really regret doing it either, despite the fallout. I believe he would do it all over again if he could; his family, Jesse and everyone else be dammed. Walt was the “mask” for Heisenberg.
The way she broke when he mentioned Hank and gomies burial site which truly meant they were dead my god perfect acting.
one of my favorite scenes in the entire show
Best scene in the show for me. Walt finally tells the truth. A sad goodbye. I also love the part cut out of this clip, the one where Walt sees Holly for the last time and Skyler watches in the background, very bittersweet like a taste of how it could've been if Walt had never began cooking. He claimed at first that he did it for his family, but in the end he leaves his family completely shattered due to his own greed. Such a sad ending, well except Jesse getting his freedom back.

This was the perfect end. Throughout the show Walt's success removes his humanity. It was back here, and he used it to right some wrongs
I saw a post a while before this episode came out talking about how Felina would be the perfect name for the final episode. I’m only just now discovering that it happened. Very rewarding to see a good idea become reality
Hands downs best performance of a character.
It went from Walt and Jesse arguing over chili powder to this... man what a bummer of a show (in the best way)
I donno why am i crying so bad watching this scene now, the melancholy the sadness in the voice of Walter anyone can say it's different from other episodes & the way he said regarding to flynn "He Did"
Hanks pride got himself killed.
I liked Hank, but him being all cocky and arrogant really shot himself in the foot….. or skull rather
He should have left after getting walt in the car
The transition from Marie underestimating him to the shot of him revealed in the kitchen in incredible.
Skylar realizing this was all because she fed him Turkey bacon on his birthday.
Then he goes to see his daughter and it breaks your heart.
"If I have to hear, one more time, that you did this for the family.."
"I did it for the Vine, Skyler. I liked it. I was good at it."
These two actors are phenomenal.
This is my favorite scene of this episode.
anna gunn's acting is incredible after walt tells her he did it for himself - you can see in her face how much closure that brings her
That last sentence is brutally honest. That's the real reason behind ANY human behaviour. We never do anything for the others. We might think we do, but ultimately we do what we do because how we expect to feel afterwards, or how we'll feel if we don't.
Thats a very self-centered view of human behavior. Yes some people do things just to make themselves feel better, but some people genuinely do things for others. Not everyone is selfish and certainly not all the time.
Its called psychological egoism and its not really taken seriously or useful at all because it reduces motivations to trivial conclusions. I.e All motivations are trivially selfish based on how we feel afterwards. I don't give up my life to actually help anyone else, I give up my life because I will feel good about helping that other person. But "feeling" is used basically synonymously with desire. So in essence you're saying "People do what they desire to do" and so yes, it is trivially true, but it gives no insight and is a worthless observation.
Wrong

0:46 You'll see it on the news, Skylar.
In an earlier episode, Mike knew what Walt was about. Similar to what Walt confessed to Skyler. Great scene.
This is so beautifully delivered by Cranston.. one of the very best actor on TV history
He looks so pathetic and defeated; and all that pretty much falls on him, he tasted the power and didn't want to let it go until it destroyed almost everybody around him. He had a quick death, but the pain he had to deal inside of his mind took much longer; he probably deserved to be even longer imo
Quite possibly the best series ever made. At least for myself. It's always been consistent. I don't think there's a single bad episode. I don't remember the last time a show had a satisfying ending.

Feel sad for walt fam. The first time Walt became kingpin because he always felt neglected, his son was more proud of Hank, he felt unappreciated because he was only a chemistry teacher n suffered from cancer. He then feels alive when he becomes Kingpin, able to frustrate Hank
