Are you kidding?

In reality a 7.62 can easily do that. I used to shoot an Ak-47 out in the Socal desert at car wrecks left out there for plinking. That round goes through an engine block like butter. Every time you see guys hiding behind oil barrels, car doors, etc in the movies it is complete bullshit that those would offer any protection whatsoever.

If anything, it was unrealistic because it would have knocked down that cinder block wall.

You have to remember that just prior to Walt's little chat with Skyler that her sister was on the phone explaining to her that the police were receiving many many phone calls with sightings of Walt all over town and even threats of him blowing things up...she said that the police were being "stretched pretty thin"...clearly, this was done by Walt as a plan to allow him to move about with more ease.

Having an unmarked car watching Skyler's house with 2 officers would be reasonable. I see no problem with this plot detail. You also have to remember that at least 2 months had past since the nationwide manhunt as Walt was in hiding and no one had spotted him in all that time.

Totally nailed it, damn, I am really good

Ended in most likely expected scenario :)

Ok thanks. I have fired an AK, but not through anything thick.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I used to own a Chinese AK with a 100 round drum mag (not full auto, but firing as fast as I could pull the trigger) and it was insane how much damage that size round can do - especially when you factor in the vibrations and effects on trajectory caused by the obstacles. Cinder block wall would essentially be pulverized into cinder dust. The full metal jacket 7.62 is often referred to as the "armor piercing" round if I remember correctly.

Great song
 

Always been a fan of this one...

Makes sense in the context that Walt decided to "redeem" himself, which frankly I thought was the safe, and most boring, way to go.

**************** SPOILERS READ AT YOUR OWN RISK****************















And no reasons to kill Jesse? Jesse was the one that got the ball rolling, spilling the beans to Hank, giving him the location of his money, and getting Hank killed. Oh sure, Walt had some kind of epiphany and decided well, I'm just gonna let it all go. Except I'm still gonna go kill all the bad guys to make up for all the evil I done.

I was under the impression that they were going for a Scarface kind of end-run, with Walter truly embracing Heisengberg.

Instead he went Scrooge on our asses :1orglaugh

Hell they even had Jesse kill Todd so that he could avenge the little kid and his ex-girlfriend. Bad guys lose, catharsis for everyone!

I understand why they went with that kind of ending instead of some Red Wedding kind of tragedy. It's an easy sell, keeps most people happy.

That don't mean I gotta like it :321GFY

Walt liked Jesse after all, to some degree he understood why he ratted and made peace with it. It would have been strange if he killed him.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh i forgot about him

I think that kind of ending would have been much more memorable and stood the test of time much better.
