Vince Gilligan Talks 'Breaking Bad' Finale; Says Series Ending Will Be Polarizing

One of the greatest shows on TV is coming to an end. The second half of the fifth and final season of Breaking Bad will air next summer. According to creator Vince Gilligan, the ending of the show will be polarizing and everyone will be talking about it.

“It’s going to be polarizing no matter how you slice it,” Gilligan told Vulture, “but you don’t want 10 percent to say it was great and 90 percent to say it sucked ass. You want those numbers to be reversed.” Of course, he has no idea what's going to happen but Gilligan says he wants a bittersweet finale, a la Casablanca.

“No one gets everything they wanted. The guy doesn’t get the girl, but he has the satisfaction of knowing she wants him. And he doesn’t get her because he has to save the free world. What better ending is there than that?” Gilligan said about the "pretty perfect" finale of the film. “I’m not saying we’re going to approach that or reach in that direction. Our story doesn’t line up [with 'Casablanca']. But we’re looking for that kind of satisfaction.”

Will Walt pay for everything he's done or will he get away with it? This is what Gilligan had to say:

“Not at all, really,” he said. “I’m very cornball in my own view of the world. It just makes sense to me that bad people should get punished and good people should be rewarded. I know it doesn’t work like that in real life, but there’s always that yearning.”
