Top Ten Moments from Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad is really one great big moment, but anyway here it goes.*may contain spoilers*
Hank's last exchanges with Walt and telling off Uncle Jack before he's killed, Hank really went out as the great man he was. Walt's paralleling reaction to Gustavo's in 'Hermanos' was truly powerful. The beginning of where Walt and his surroundings really crumble.
A very emotional and big moment of the show.
One of the greatest moments of television.
A sinister feeling started creeping up on me the moment Walter burst out in that maniacal laugh followed by the brooding music, the phone call, and then the camera slowly panning upwards with Walter just staring in silence. What a scene!
This was the finest piece of acting I've ever seen in a TV show. The music, the acting, everything was just done so perfectly.
Easily the best scene, it was phenomenal.
The perfect ending, unexpected, shocking, and satisfying. The Nazis dropping like the pests they are as the bullets cut through them like a knife through butter. Jesse going feral on Todd after he killed a child, chained him up, and shot Andrea in front of him.
And finally, Walt shooting Jack in the head mid-sentence (like Jack did Hank), just staring down at him coldly while he pleads for his life. The musical score is chilling. The intense music as Jesse strangles Todd and that electro-violin that kicks in as Walt picks up the gun. A true work of art, something that will be looked back on as a masterclass on how to end a story.
So many great details made this one of the best and most intense moments of the show.
That awkward moment when you realize that your brother-in-law is the meth cook/drug lord you've been searching for for the past year and a half.
The most important minute of the entire five seasons, in my opinion.
The moment when Hank realizes that Walt is actually Heisenberg.
An extremely well-made and suspenseful sequence, then we see Todd by the end of it, in a different light.
The numerous times the ricin was mentioned and failed to be used to any advantage, I felt like it couldn't have gone any better than it did in the finale. It was just perfect.
This was one of the big messages in the show. We see countless examples of half measures not ending well.
