That final scene where Walter sails off to the Undying Land with the elves brought tears to my eyes.

So have you watched it yet? See I’m the only one honest with you.

Has anyone mentioned the Saul-Huell oral-sex scene yet?

Reminds me of a story I read many years ago when sport on TV wasn’t so common. The main game each round in Sydney rugby league was played on Sunday afternoon and replayed on TV at 6pm. One Sydney journalist got sick of inadvertently finding out who won before he could watch it. So he decided to take his dog out for a walk in the bush near his home. Some jogger, who he had never seen in his life before, ran past and said, for no apparent reason, “Easts won 22 - 8.”

I finally watched it. I like that they wrapped it up nicely.

What I don’t like, is the questions I had…that broke my immersion. How did Walt get in touch with Badger and Skinny Pete? A few episodes ago, when in the caddy with Saul and Coobey outside the hotel, he didn’t even know their names…

What happened to the rest of the money? Why did Jesse not end up with some of it?

How did Walt get hit with a bullet when he was clearly below the line of fire?

I would have liked to see his video come out, and be assumed as the true version of events, as mentioned by Teri Gross on NPR today… 🙂

He probably found Pete and Silent Bob crashing at Jesse’s house.  
Whatever money was left was probably found by the Cops.  
Jesse was lucky just to get away with his life.  
Walt was probably hit by a ricochet or shrapnel.

It turns out it was all a fever dream. The main characters are professors at the university and their unwell brain fantasized their **math** duties as **meth**. It also turned out that they were being hospitalized in St. Elsewhere.

The last scene was them being taken to a hospital in Kansas, where a tornado picked them up and landed them in front of Keanu Reeves in his Neo getup.

I don’t know. Jack made it sound like it was well hidden. Granted, he may have just been spinning a yarn to buy a few minutes more life. But I like to think that the Nazis each took a chunk of money as “spending cash”, then buried the majority of it in the desert somewhere until they decided on their long-term plans for it.

The barrels of money, in my mind, are still out in the Albuquerque desert. Above them, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away.
