Just Get Me Home

Spoilers ahead.

Up 'til the end, Breaking Bad told us to expect that not all was right with the world. But the last episode told us:

1. There is a cosmic scale of justice where the bad guys all die and the good guys all live.

2. The rich can be scared, but never seriously harmed.

I could not have predicted that such an unpredictable show - where everything was called into question, including the very notion of calling everything into question - would end in such a conventional fashion.

Oh, and "Felina" turned out just to be an anagram for "Finale."

But really, it was just one episode, and not an important one at that. The entire series is an extraordinary achievement.

By the way, why is Buffy  rarely if ever mentioned these days when critics tick off the masterpieces of TV's Golden Age? I have my theories...
