I had very strong likes/dislikes to recent episodes.
I really like how Mike went out and Walter's role in it. The way they wrote those characters, it's the only way for it to go down with Walt coming on top: Walt had to take the coward's role. Had they gone toe-to-toe and Walt triumphed, that would have disappointed me the way some people are disappointed now by Mike parting ways (which I understand, but we knew it was coming).
I really dislike Walt's "Classic Coke" hard sell to Declan, the guy who represents "the other guys" in the meth game. I dislike even more that the writers try to address the bullshit by having Declan say, "Why don't I just shoot you?" which is EXACTLY what he should have done. There's no explanation for this. It's not that I'm unwilling to suspend disbelief -- we've done it more than enough in this show. But if a high school chem teacher can take down a drug kingpin through an elaborate improvised bomb in a goddamn oldfolks home, why the shit can't one drug dealer simply shoot another?
I mean, I know the reason Why in terms of the arc of the show, but that situation was just too much. Walt's response was such bullshit: you're saving your life preaching about "quality" like some

ing door-to-door vacuum salesman? Give me a break. Just

ing cap him there. If I was Mike in that scene,
I would've shot Walt and said to Declan, "Whelp, guess you get all thousand gallons after all. Nice doin bidness." Really stupid moment in an otherwise good show.
