I'm only on season 1 and loving it. What if there had been ACA available? Would he have had to sell meth to cover his hospital bills?

Somebody needs to shut down this notion that he goes into the meth business to pay his health care bills. That is a small part of the "financial planning" that meth making became to Walt.
Agree. Walt wanted to be the best at what he did and wanted the respect to go with that. He should have gone into hedge funds instead of meth. He could hurt just as many people but gain respect without the legal issues.
It was what I expected it would be - wrap things up but nothing too exciting. The irrevocable trust for Jr was a surprise and how he engineered that! Other than that not too much in the way of twists and shocks.
I expected Walt would kill his enemies though I was surprised he went after Lydia. I expected Walt to die and Jessie to live. It was pretty much low key, not all that exciting, sitting on the edge of the couch screaming or muttering in utter disbelief at the twist in the plot "I can't BELIEVE that just happened!". See the episode called "Ozymandias" (the 14th episode of the 5th season and the 60th overall episode of the series) which I think may well have been the very best episode of the entire series!!!!!! Man that episode was a block buster with several scenes that qualified as the closing cliff hanging scene in any episode!
I was disappointed really but satisfied too. I pictured the final few minutes of the show to be Walter dying and having flashbacks seeing all the people in chronological order that he hurt or killed - sorta like his life flashing before his eyes as he is dying. That would have been awesome but Vince didn't think so!
For DW and I, this was our first time watching this series. Kind of like reading a book by starting at the end.
The couple that got the $9M cash, how were they related to Walt? And how do you launder all that cash without some sort of underworld connections?

i also expected the racin once she ordered her tea. ..... Now compared to the Saprano's, the ending Breaking Bad was great.
But it was not as nearly as good as Ozymandias, or the train heist, or the end of Gus, or the Fly,or 1/2 dozen more episodes.
I was expecting the only person to survive would be Holly, but I guess Jesse deserved one break in his life.
Good way to do it. DW and I spent 6 weeks on the beach in FL last winter and did that starting at season 1.I have never watched a single episode of Breaking Bad, but any program that generates so much water cooler discussion must be worth my attention in ER. I'm going to put it on my Netflix queue and will start at the beginning!
