I figured it deserved its own thread.. Can't wait to see how it all ends.

Get StartedI'm almost glad all TV isn't this good. I'd never get anything done.
have you watched the whole thing?
Yes. I occasionally think about rewatching it. I rewatched about 10 minutes of the first episode and it has some rewatch value.
I believe that, but I'm glad I'm done with it; I don't want to get sucked in again and watch 3-4 episodes; too much else to do these days.
the only dispute we had at the end was what happens to Jesse.
[spoiler alert!]
My wife felt like he was completely free to move on with his life; the show dropped enough hints that the authorities had nothing to link him to any crimes, since the neo-nazis ransacked Hank & Marie's house and took the DVD of his confession. That's why he was so happy as he drove off their compound.
But I thought he'd still be investigated and likely charged with something, since Marie knew he had been at their house (not proof of anything, but an investigative lead), and he had already been arrested and questioned about the $5MM the police caught him with. Plus there would be questions about how he afforded buying his aunt's house. There was just too much heat on him to simply dissipate like that. In the last couple episodes someone else had mentioned that the APD were still looking for him while he was in captivity. So I thought he would be going to face the music and serve time.
He was happy because he wasn't dead, the neo-nazis were, and he was free of them. but he wasn't under any illusions that he was going to avoid the consequences for his year as Walt's partner.
For the record, I didn't imagine he was happy at all. I saw him as damaged beyond repair and cracking in that moment. The laughing was more of an "are you fucking kidding me" because he had freedom after he lost everything that ever mattered. The only person that didn't even want anything anymore and doesn't have anything to move on to is the one that gets to move on.
I'd like to see what happens to some of the characters, but I don't know if there's enough of a future there to sustain a new TV series.
