The death of Gus was foreshadowed in season 2 by the pink bear in Walt’s pool with half its face burned off and it’s eye missing.

Both seasons are great in their own ways. I love both equally and for different reasons.

What could season 5 possibly be about? Everyone who has watched the show has surely asked that question after seeing this episode, but I promise that the story is definitely not over yet. Season 5 contains some of the best scenes/episodes that have yet to be topped for me by anything else ever. What a ride it is all the way to the end.

It's one of these very small details that make Breaking Bad so amazing lol.

I won't say Season 4 is better than Season 5, but in some ways I personally enjoy the back end of Season 4 more because of the chess match between Walt and Gus. Both actors were amazing and Gus is one of my favorite TV characters of all time, so I missed that dynamic after he was gone. However, Season 5 is epic, has so many jaw-dropping moments and absolutely sticks the landing. The stakes get even higher -- enjoy the ride!

Some people do actually prefer season 4 to season 5. That completely baffles me though, I love season 4 but I think season 5 is possible the best season of any show.

Most people feel "Face Off" (get it? The double meaning?) is the second best episode of Breaking Bad. You haven't seen the best one yet.

That was totally my fear as well. So many shows -- damn near all of them -- were either cancelled too soon or outlasted their welcome with weak or stupid final seasons. With such a strong Season 4 finish, I was fairly convinced they were about to make a mistake with adding another 16 episodes, so I spent a whole (pre-S5) year making my peace with the idea that "At least we had Season 4...". Like when you tell yourself that the "real" Terminator franchise ended with Judgement Day, that nothing else is canon, and you block all other sequels from your mind. It was such a relief to be able to bask in the exhilaration of 5A and 5B.

I wish I could have seen your reaction between the cuts, haha. You called Walt a prick, and then you came back after quick jump, but I'm guessing there was a little more swearing, which was totally justified. There are a few other reaction channels that have done Breaking Bad. Now that you've seen Season 4, you can have the pleasure we just did at watching someone freak out over the ending! And yeah, no one knew where the show was going to go next, and most people would have been perfectly fine with Face Off being the ending of the entire show. Luckily for us all, it wasn't!

Season 5 is better, dude :) This episode is for sure one of the all-time greats, but it gets better.

So I’ll go ahead and say it, Season 5 is even better! This next season has two episodes that were given a perfect 100 rating by critics and fans. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

Season five is better than that. Though it takes a bit to warm up. The back half is incomparable.

BTW, the lyrics as the Lily of The Valley is revealed are "those white clouds have turned it black". Walter White turning black perhaps?

"How can season 5 bee better than that? There is no way S5 can be better than that". Everyone who as watched BB has had the same thought. When it aired, I had a fear that Season 5 (we knew it would be the last) would tarnish the show, that it should have ended with this episode. We were all so, so, so, so wrong. Strap in tight, because , believe it or not, this train is just starting to roll.

I love that Saul is still wearing the blue ribbon from the plane crash in season 2, lol
