It was the first scene of the episode "Half Measures"
I read somewhere (can't remember where) that she got propositioned by a John when they were filming that scene.
record ratings

I can't wait to see the spinoff based on Saul, if those rumors are true. Bob Odenkirk is hilarious as that character.
Good job cutting it short, AMC!
That was awesome until i read the part where more people still tuned into some random episode of The Walking Dead. You still suck, America.
Yeah. Pretty lame TWD averages about 10-12 million per random episode. I'm sure TWD finale is gonna have something like 20 million tuned it. Just watch.
This. Couldn't believe it when I saw a ty Simpsons episode got 9 million viewers this season.
Embarrassing tbh.
We see that kind of stupidity every few weeks at the box office, nothing surprising
Zombies pull in more TV viewers than meth heads
Bull . You'd really like to have the same taste as 60,000,000 Americans that watch the same show??? You're upset because the "masses" don't watch it?
You need to check out Friends and The Bachelor.
The reason BB is so good is because it's intelligent and different.
I'm not surprised. This is the same country that thinks the Big Bang Theory is the best comedy on tv.
Seems like online there was alot of mild disappointment in the finale. I kinda feel the same way too. I loved the finale, i was satisfied with the ending, it was genius, but ultimately i felt like it needed just a little something more. I think the big thing is just the adrenaline rush of "HOLY WHAT JUST HAPPENED??!?! I CAN'T ING WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK!" was missing because there is no next week anymore. I think the finale did play it a little too safe, and the ending was conventional (Walt wins, Jesse lives, the family gets the money). But i also can't imagine it any other way.
I think it's just the "HOLY " adrenaline rush that we got from other seasons that was missing, and i think ultimately the lack of that type of moment is because we've known for a while now that (a) Walt unloads an M60 on somebody, and (b) Walt poisons someone with the ricin. I think the flash forwards, while incredibly entertaining and leading to lots of fun discussion and speculation, did the finale a disservice. I think if we never saw the gun, and only knew that there was something dangerous in the trunk that Walt was trying to open, then the Nazi's getting wasted would have been a much bigger "HOLY " moment. I think if we only knew Walt went to the house for "something" not knowing it was the ricin until after he revealed it to Lydia, it would have been another "HOLY " moment.
But even then, the flash forwards were so awesome that i wouldn't change a thing, even if the end wasn't quite as bombastic because of it. It's about the journey, not the finish line.
I think there would have been more surprise factor if they simply didn't include the scene of him in the desert putting the gun together, or maybe just a more vague scene of him using some tools to put something together, but not revealing that it was the M60. It would have been awesome seeing him go into the compound, not knowing what exactly was going on, or why he was so focused on getting his keys. For almost 2 years, people have been wondering what the M60 was for. It wouldn't have hurt to made everyone wait another 10 minutes. I think it would have made it far better.
Also, it would have made him tackling Jesse seem a bit more confusing in the moment, as opposed to being blatantly obvious to the audience that he was saving Jesse's life before he even started the sentry gun.
Yes, but you have to take this into perspective. The fact that a CABLE channel called AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS was able to pull in 10+ million for ANYTHING short of a live televised, exclusive play by play of the second coming is truly historic. Cable channels (non premium) rarely jump into this territory. AMC struck GOLD with BB and TWD. This is BIG in TV land.
I'm fine considering "Ozymandias" the holy bombastic finale and the next two episodes an extended epilogue.
This.
Ozymandias was an incredibly loaded episode, one of the finest hours of television to ever air.
I agree about the flash forward criticism, but it generated a lot of discussion and hype, which was probably part of the motivation for the writers, tbh..
Many of the people that have criticized the finale aren't even followers of the show, tbh
Bomani Jones had a good take about it on his podcast yesterday..
