As much as I can try to second guess this show and ask for my ideal resolutions I want these final eight episodes to truly surprise me. The best moments in Breaking Bads history have come where we as the audience have been totally unprepared for huge series changing events or where the creators have subverted traditional tv tropes to catch us off guard. I want to have my hands on my head with my jaw on the floor again like I was when they shot the bike kid or when Danny Trejos head blew up on a tortoise or when Walt mercilessly killed those two dealers in season three. I want to be repulsed at the depths the show will go to like I was when Gus stumbled out of the nursing home with half his head blown off, or during the prison massacre montage or when Spooges head got crushed with a cash machine. I want to be confused, thrilled, hooked and satisfied with every minute of the eight remaining episodes. The thing is, with Breaking Bad above all other tv shows, I know that it will deliver, I mean I totally have no idea who hes going to use that gun on (and Im even more stumped now that Vince Gilligan has revealed that Walt is returning with that gun to protect someone). Now to get back to counting down the days until next July again
