The season finale of Breaking Bad this week was basiclaly like a big ol’ punch in the face.
I don’t mean that in a bad way.
For weeks now, we’ve been teased with images of body bags, a charred pink teddy bear in the White family pool and men in haz-mat suits at their home.
Who was dead?
What blew up?
Did Walt really bring the meth-making into his home?
Were Skylar or – goodness, no! – the new baby killed?
And then, midway through the finale, whammo, the reality became brutally apparent.

I know there are many people out there who don’t agree with me, but I thought last night’s finale was rather good.
Look, it’s 24, and it’s been written so deep into a corner over the past several years that it’s amazing they’ve been able to write their way back out.
But the rebound from last season was nothing short of spectacular.
Over the course of the season, there have been more twists in the plot than on a strand of DNA.
But the finale managed to bring them all together, albeit with a whining Tony who is a mere shadow of the shell of the man he once was. We all knew that Michelle’s death hit him hard. And, OK, she was pregnant, so that makes it even harder. But watching Tony was like going back to the TV show Pretender, when Jared was doing a patented Triple Pretend.
Except for one thing: On Pretender, we always were in on Jared’s pretending. We knew he wasn’t a doctor. Or a car thief. Or whatever.
Tony? It shifted almost from week to week. Gave me a headache. Was Tony bad? Was he good? Was he bad? Was he good? Was he badly good? Goodly bad? Just plain ol’ bat-guano crazy??
Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner! Bat-guano crazy.

I’m glad I took a day to think about the season finale, because my thoughts and theories about last night’s Lost have evolved over the past 24 hours.
So let me just get right into it and tell you the absolutely bat-guano crazy idea I have.
