Breaking Bad - Walt's perfect time to die

[dawg]

Anybody watch this week or did everyone just watch LOST?

Anyway, when Walt was telling Jesse how he had lived too long, and was speculating about the exact moment he wished he had not lived beyond, I completely identified with the feeling.

I mean, I'm not suicidal at all, but I see what he meant. For Walt, to have died after making enough money to support his family, but before Skyler found out, would have meant that he could have gone out a hero of sorts. He would know his family was provided for, and he would not have had to endure the heartbreak of Skyler's reaction to the truth. Sure, she would have had the same reaction, but Walt not have been around for it. He could have left this Earth in a happy time, and not one filled with emotional pain.

Heartache is worse than physical torture. I'm glad I'm still ridin' this 'ol terrestrial ball, but I hope I have many, many more years to go. Otherwise, the last two and a half months will not have been worth it.

Also, don't know if Jesse is lifting meth or not, I've missed parts here and there, but hated to see the sweet mood between the two guys get ruined right at the end.

Thoughts?
