My guess is that Walt/Jessie successfully kill Gus (or the credits will roll just as he's about to die, creating a giant cliffhanger going into the last season) and then Walt and Jessie spend the last season evading the DEA, culminating in a giant tell-all reveal between Walt and his whole family (including Hank).

I hadn't heard that before. That puts a different spin on to things.

 

He said that he wanted to have a series that turned Mr. Chips into Scarface.

I'm not sure about the cliffhanger, as they don't seem to go that route on Breaking Bad. And I'm glad for that. But I don't disagree with the ending you theorize.

Season 3 had a pretty massive cliffhanger.

No, it didn't. Jesse clearly shot Gale. People just couldn't believe it unless they saw it. Gilligan even said that he shot him when the rumors came up.

For the 99% of viewers who don't read every interview about the show, it was left as a serious cliffhanger... even just not knowing what would happen to Walt regardless.

Survivor check

GONE

 

• The Playboy Club (87th place in weekly rankings; estimated 3.4 million viewers last night): On Monday, it was dead last among all Big Four network shows. Today, it's just dead, the first casualty of the season, pulled in favor of a Brian Williams newsmagazine. The Playboy- protesting Parents Television Council was "pleased."

 

NOT GOING ANYWHERE

 

• Up All Night (66th place) and Whitney (64th place): Both comedies won full-season passes today.

 

NOT GOING ANYWHERE…YET?

 

• Free Agents (95th place) and Prime Suspect (60th place): When your network's picking up freshman shows, but it's not picking up yours, then that's not exactly good news. Still, take note, Prime Suspect watchers: A source tells E! News that NBC will air its reruns in Playboy Club 's time slot until the Williams newsmag debuts on Halloween

 

STILL GOING STRONG

 

• CBS' Monday comedies: Two and a Half Men was the week's No. 1 show; Mike & Molly was a Top 10 hit; 2 Broke Girls was a Top 20 hit; How I Met Your Mother just missed the Top 25. Last night proved to be more of the same, even with Men down, if that's the word, to an estimated 17 million or so viewers.

 

• NCIS (second place): Men has lost more than 10 million viewers since its super-sized premiere; this show is regular-sized huge, week in, week out.

 

• The Big Bang Theory (seventh place): Ditto on the consistency thing.

 

• Terra Nova (34th place; estimated 8.3 million viewers last night): Held steady with its premiere, something that's no small accomplishment for a sci-fi series. (See: the fast fades of The Event, The Cape, FlashForward, etc.)

 

• House (estimated 9.8 million viewers last night): If you figured this show jumped the shark with last spring's season finale, you figured wrong. Its eighth-season premiere was surprisingly solid.

 

ETC.

 

• New Girl (33rd place): Still outdrawing its Tuesday night companion, Glee (39th place) .

 

• Suburgatory (30th place): Pretty good start, considering it improved on its Middle lead-in (38th place).

 

• How to Be a Gentleman (37th place): Not-so good start, considering it blew a good chunk of its Big Bang Theory lead-in.

 

• Pan Am (43rd place): More than 3 million passengers deplaned after the premiere. Will its descent level off—or continue?

 

• The Office (52nd place): Still a Top 20 show among 18-49 year-olds.

 

• Person of Interest (14th place): Most-watched new series.

 

• Fringe (97th place): Least-watched show on the Big Four networks.

For the 1/2 of another person here who still might care/keeps up with this show:

The future of long-running animated television comedy "The Simpsons" appeared to be up in the air on Tuesday after 20th Century Fox Television said it could not continue to afford producing the show under its current business model.

 

Fox Television, a unit of News Corp, issued its statement after a report that the cast of the subversive comedy had refused a proposed 45 percent pay cut.

 

"We believe this brilliant series can and should continue, but we cannot produce future seasons under its current financial model," Fox said.

That would be a sad but somehow ironically appropriate way for them to go...killed by budget constraints.

That's just a problem with the average American. They have to be punched in the face to see anything. It was blatantly obvious that he killed Gale.

I don't remember having any doubts about that and I didn't read any interviews.

But what happened to Walter? They couldn't possibly know every outcome that was revealed in that first episode.

A lot of people seemed to be confused because of the camera movement.

 

And it was still a cliff hanger. Jesse is standing there with a smoking gun and a dead body, Walt is being held hostage. That's a cliffhanger ending in my book.

If Gale dies, Walt lives. Gus would need him. Straight forward.

There were still plenty of "what ifs" to warrant being called a cliffhanger, in my book.

Whatever you say. There was no cliffhanger.

Just watch "Homeland" already so we can talk about that instead!

Lol, alright buddy.

Definitely not in the traditional show style where the main situation would be completely unresolved. Breaking Bad doesn't leave gimmicky cliff-hangers like that while still setting up huge amounts of tension.

LOL I want to, but there's so much other stuff I'm already into. I don't think I have the time.

Yeah, I set it up tape the pilot since I missed it the first go around. I can't wait to watch it, hopefully tonight if I get enough work done. I like Damian Lewis (or anyone who was in Band of Brothers) a lot.

Strange, I like anyone who was in Dreamcatcher a lot.

Just got done with the first edition of Prohibition. It was very cool, and I am looking forward to the next two.

The first few episodes of NEW GIRL were meh but tonight was funny enough to keep me hanging in there.
