I thought him saying that was partially also to relieve some of the guilt Skyler may have carried thinking all this death was motivated by wanting to help take care of her and the kids. Surely, it did start out as 'helping' the family, but his motivation definitely changed after he got the rush of being a kingpin.

Walt got criticized on a TV show. There is no doubt Walt got off super light in the end. Not only did nothing really terrible happen to him compared to virtually every major character, he had a chance to fix things and get closure on others. Again, it ended fine. I just don't like how neat and conveniently it wrapped up. A show that's all about having mixed emotions about heroes and villains, they chose the route of ending it with a clear hero and a clear villain. I just feel they could have done much better. |

After this experience, he then spent an entire year in isolation to ruminate over the destruction he had wrecked upon his family. I am no fan of Walt, I wanted him off'd by Gus, Mike and Hank (though I knew it wouldn't happen), but I do not believe he got off "light". The insult on national TV was not the consequence for his actions, it was what spurred Walt onto his path for redemption. |

Question (and I should be able to remember, but I can't):
In this episode, did Walt go see Skyler first or meet up with Lydia and Todd? I can't remember which came first.

Really enjoyed the finale, and it restored some justification in even finishing this last season.
That said, I would never watch the whole series again. I absolutely loathed the split between Walt and Jesse. When that went so far south, it just ruined much of the enjoyment, and everything became a horrible train-wreck. Good finish, and many great seasons though.. thanks, V.G.

So, he actually didn't know that Lydia had threatened to kill his family until after he'd already poisoned her. That being said, he could probably figure out that Lydia represented a threat to his family regardless.. but it does make his poisoning of her a little more cold blooded.
