Breaking Bad - S05E16 - "Felina" (series finale!)

I have a coffee mug at work with that logo. Every once in a while, I'll have a visitor/guest who goes, "Hey, isn't that...".

Always a good conversation starter.

I had one guest recognize it, and tell me they had only watched on NetFlix, so they were eight eps shy of closure. I just called them now to tell them the last eight were now up on NF, and they said they saw it advertised, and were planning a binge-watch this weekend.

Oh, to be an Ozymandias virgin...

 

As is my "Weyland-Yutani Corporation" shirt.

I should see if I can find a Madrigal Electromotive GmbH polo shirt.

There are lots of Easter eggs in it, too:

Spoiler

Here's the statue that Hank gets as a parting gift:





Pink bear:



Los Pollos:



There are probably others.

 

Pink bear! I love easter eggs but never really notice them till they are pointed out. Heck this probably had too many to count!

 

Not really an Easter egg but I liked Aaron agreeing that supporting actor awards could even be better than lead ones

 

Yeah, that whole conversation about how it would be more valuable if it were for leading, and then that drama is harder than comedy, etc. was very well done.

I'm a little confused about the fact that at the end it appears to be an Audi ad.

 

Someone had to pay to make it.

 

I did notice early on that JLD was driving a very nice car...

 

Not really an Easter egg either, but I like how they snuck in Aaron Paul's BB catch phrase at the end.

 

Yes, she was driving an Audi, but then when they did a couple of outdoor interviews with her in front of her car, they didn't even have the car framed in a way you could see the brand. Just didn't seem like it had any connection to Audi.

 

They didn't "sneak it in", that was the punch line!

 

The last interview at the end had the front Auto Union emblem conveniently and clearly located in middle of the frame.

 

I do wish they hadn't had him chewing the tobacco or snuff or whatever that was that made him a bit hard to understand through it (well, except for at the end).

And yes, the best was when he made the comment about "best supporting actor" since both he and JLD had gotten that.

 

What am I supposed to get from this screenshot? That's exactly what my post was referring to.

 

You said:

And I think scandia101 was just confirming your confusion/suspicion.

To me, there was no confusion at all that it was an Audi ad, even during the video... they spent just a little too much time on the car, and it was just produced a little better than most Buzzfeed or Funny or Die spoofs. Meaning there was real $$$$ behind the thing.

 

One year ago...

 

Should've said, "One year ago...*****!"
