This episode is a drug, you will be experiencing; nausea, fear, sickness, disbelief, an overwhelming sorrow blooming inside the very core of your being. These symptoms will leave you paralyzed and unable to comprehend this hour of apocalyptic proportions.
Still shaking and pumped with adrenaline, I solemnly vow that I for one won't forget and will be remembering the name several years to come.
The emotion carried throughout this episode is on a completely new level and literally there is shock after shock...Perfection
I just have that feeling, quite a sad feeling actually... what you will witness and go through this episode..experience...has never been matched and will never be matched on another TV show. The Show is coming to an end...all I am going to do is savour it, and possibly cry
This was a mesmerizing and engrossing piece of television which did nothing wrong.
It was sad, dynamic, heartbreaking, full of action.
A classic Brekaing Bad episode.
I've said it before and I'm saying it now- Breaking Bad is a masterpiece and as much as I'm anxious to see how it ends I don't want it to end.
This is one of the best episode of the show full of great ones. What will happen next? Can't wait to see.
In a non-stop fashion, Looper's writer/director Rian Johnson shocks the audience with gut-wrenching, jaw-dropping, and unforgettable scenes, not leaving you any time to breathe deeply and not stopping to bother you after the ending credits roll. The screenwriters of this series have proved to be one of the most talented in their business over the course of almost five seasons up to that point and in "Ozymandias", they have all the accumulated problems ingeniously falling to pieces. In one way, it's torturing to watch all the worst case scenarios arise, but it's also fascinating because of how greatly made it is. The acting is a new career-best for virtually everyone involved and the departments that don't receive their due respect too often, such as the cinematography, the editing, or the incidental music contribute a major share to the phenomenal final good as well.
I'm completely stunned at how fantastic "Ozymandias" is and I can't think of any other episode of a TV series or any other film that emotionally affected me to the extent Vince Gilligan and his crew managed to do with this episode. Breaking Bad has had its weaker moments in previous seasons and may not be everyone's cup of tea, but with "Ozymandias", it suddenly becomes a must-see for anyone who gives anything about great film- or TV-series-making.
Did you know
- TriviaThe flashback of Walt and Jesse at the beginning of the episode was the final scene that was shot for the series.
- GoofsWhen the shooting first starts, Walt dives down in the back seat towards the floor and his glasses fall off. After the shooting stops and Jack begins talking to Hank, Walt appears in the back window of the SUV with his glasses on. With his hands cuffed behind his back, there is no way he could have retrieved and put on his glasses back on.
- Quotes
Walter White: [as Jack holds them at gunpoint] Hank... listen to me. You gotta tell him. You gotta tell him now that we can work this out. Please. Please.
Hank Schrader: What? You want me to beg?
[Walter shakes his head, tears in his eyes]
Hank Schrader: You're the smartest guy I ever met... and you're too stupid to see... he made up his mind ten minutes ago.
- Crazy creditsWhen the opening credits begin after the first commercial break, the names of the first three actors appear in the normal sequence with normal timing. At the moment when the name Dean Norris would normally appear, the camera shows Walt looking at his own reflection in the rear view mirror. The name does not appear, and Walt turns the mirror to the side. The camera focuses in on the mirror's new reflection, an empty spot in the New Mexican desert. We then see Walt pause for several moments. Finally, as Walt begins to move on, the name Dean Norris appears on the screen.
