Breaking Bad: 5 Characters We Expect To Bite the Bullet And 5 We Really Hope Won’t

Time is running out. In just a few short months Breaking Bad comes back. Eights short weeks after that, it€™s gone again , and this time it€™s for good.

The final season of any television show is always the ultimate balancing act for a cast and crew. On one hand, it poses the most exciting opportunity of the shows run. For these last episodes, Vince Gilligan and crew have free reign. They can do whatever they want with the characters and the story and there will be no consequences because their show is over and done with. On the other hand, the final season of a show represents the most terrifying prospect of them all. Closure. It is now Gilligan€™s burden to wrap up the story he has raised and to please a rabid fanbase. If there is one thing I know about fans it is this: they can be scary. They will applaud the hardest of work. But they will turn on you for the most minor slip-ups. And nothing can be forgiven. Just look at the IMDb boards for Iron Man 3. Very few fans have been able to look past the Mandarin reinvention and recognise an otherwise exceptional effort. With all bets off and everything on the line, it€™s safe to say the cast will be culled considerably. So here€™s a list of five people I€™m confident won€™t be breathing after the final frame...and five who I think the writers would be wise to preserve if they don't want to incur fan anger. But then again the Breaking Bad universe has never been one to compromise. Without further ado, here€™s who I picked.
