Well, Breaking Bad is officially over… ☹ It was an amazing series and luckily had a “happy” ending. The people who “should” die end up dying. While people like Walt’s family and Jesse, who you might even consider Walt’s family, live. Lydia along with Todd and his “gang” are taken care of thanks to Walt’s mastermind. He of course comes up with a brilliant plan to take care of the people who screwed him over just like Gus.
So Walt? He does die, but with dignity. He finally admitted that cooking wasn’t for his family; he was doing it for him. He doesn't even try to find out what Jack did with his money. All he wanted to was kill him for killing Hank. He had no desire for money anymore. This is the biggest change we see in Walt the entire series. I think when he finally admits this to Skylar he can be at peace and so can Skylar. He’s finally doing the right thing. He is able to finally give every one closure. He can give Walt Jr. the money he wanted for college. He makes amends with Skylar. He saves Jesse’s life. I think when he is walking through the lab in the basements he finally lets go. He lets himself die. While he was wounded, he was ready to let go. I believe people who are ready to let go can.
I believe people who are part of the drug lifestyle will be stuck there until they can stop trying to justify why they do it and can admit they don't want the money anymore. Walt throughout the whole series tries to justify that he was doing it for his family. But they had all they money they needed about half way through the series. By then he was just doing it for his own pride. He wasn’t going to sell out. Once people can admit what they are doing is wrong and realize it is not worth the damage I think they finally leave the drug lifestyle behind.
Oh and Saul? Don’t worry, he gets his own series now.
