Vince Gilligan On What Happens to Walter White's Family | Fireside Chat | Breaking Bad

I would have loved it if he would have done the malcolm in the middle ending.And that's how it ended waking up like that

Flynn changes his name to Schraeder.

I would say I wish for a happy ending. Yep I came from a family in north New Mexico whose father and mother were hooked to drugs and alcohol. 1 is dead and my mom is not doing well, hasn’t done well. Thank god I joined the Army but I’ve dealt with depression and I’m 41 yrs old. I still deal with depression. I don’t think life would have been good to them after sadly. Just too much to handle.

I wanna know how Skylar and Walt Jr reacted to the news that Walt was dead

At if it was a true story and only Vince knows. I would never be a good show creator. If somebody asked me this I would look at them like they're stupid and be like "why are you asking me? Anybody can decide what happens to them since I'm also an anybody. It's fiction people. Everything that we decided would happen to anybody is in the story I MADE UP!!" 😂

Skylar and Marie eventually make peace and band together given their losses. The sisters relocate to Colorado with Holly and Flynn. Marie takes up a plum managerial position at a prestigious hospital and finally lives a financially comfortable life given the additional DEA pension she receives monthly. She decides to be Holly’s godmother and pay for her sustenance to take the load off of a struggling Skylar. Skylar decides to draw incomes from multiple odd jobs to make even. She also begins writing a book. Flynn eventually takes a loan and goes away to an out of state university. Peace prevails.

Money can fill up a lot of childhood holes. Especially as Walt's son ages.

Flynn prob had a lot of breakfast wid dat money 💰

I think Walt died as he lived: Smug.

I hope Skylar & Marie patched things up. Maybe moved in together or at least was able to be part of Holly & Walt Jr’s lives

The series with the perfect ending. 🤌

All Walt had to do was go back to gray matter, he likely could have made the same amount of money and not put his life and family in danger, but then he wouldn't be the head honcho at the top of the food chain and it wouldn't serve his ego.

Walt Jr. has been truly traumatized and I don't know if he will fully recover emotionally. Skyler chose to go along with the scheme rather than throw Walt out when she realized what he was doing. She will have to live with herself.

If this video had captions, I’d know what happened.

New show idea....Holly grows up being just as intelligent as walt and has a rebellious side so growing up hearing the stories of her father and she wants to follow in his footsteps and starts re-creating his product. Jessie seems pretty well out of the game but would be cool seeing him somehow re enter in a mentor role to Holly.

After Walter Jr called the police on his dad he wouldn't be getting a dime .

Breaking Bad should have ended with Walt sitting in a diner then the screen goes blank.

"Vince Gilligan......"

When did he get off the island?

What happens to who? This is not real it’s a series. Just enjoy the show and be entertained don’t let it bleed over to real life that’s what happens

When Walter visits his daughter for the last time, most people noticed that Skyler's shadow standing behind Walter showed her like she h*nged herself.
Maybe it's just too much reading into the show but still just putting it here, ofc is she broke a deal then that's best

It’s fln fiction, people . Nothing happened to this imaginary family because they don’t exist.

Flynn inherits the fortune and creates a pharmaceutical company making legal, synthetic recreational drugs. Holly OD's while testing them.
Marie sells real estate. Skylar gets hired to manage a large chain of car washes.
They never visit each other.

Flynn got the money and got another Dodge Challenger.

I hated that one of Walt's final acts was to make his son the unwilling recipient of blood money

Say what you want but WW got all and he wanted before his end...thats a WIN

He doesn’t “deserve happiness” but they sent him out with the satisfaction of a “job well done?”….he didn’t even deserve that, Walt deserved to go out in prison with absolutely nothing and eventually succumbing to the cancer… I know that’s not cinematic but it’s what he deserved nonetheless.

Flynn goes to law school and becomes an attorney for the DEA. Then he goes into private practice when he discovers that Steve Gomez was a less than honest agent. His first client: Saul Goodman

Elliott and Gretchen probably won't give junior the money, sad but true . Skylar probably remarries and junior marries wendy who gave up drugs. Junior had to change his name to escape his father's legacy and on his 21st birthday, he is gunned down by associates of uncle jack years later, the end.

Skyler, Flynn and Holly
On a routine expedition
Met the greatest earthquake ever known
High on the rapids
It struck their tiny raft
And plunged them down a thousand feet below
To the Laaaaaand of the Loooooost

I think Flynn and Holly turn out ok, but not Skyler

I want to see Holly become inspired by her dad's criminal enterprise, and instead of a drug empire goes into politics and creates the greatest fraud empire that even the Somalis are envious of.

Walter Jr became the CEO of SchraderBrau

Walter Jr. spent all his money on NFTs and Onlyfans

I don't know why but I can just picture Vince sitting at home watching breaking bad on a loop

Yes, Vince. We know people. Yes, we do know people.

Hope it all works out

I just wanna know how come Skylar got to keep the kids. With Walt being ousted as a crime lord and Skylar having helped him, CPS would have become involved. And even if Skylar eventually managed to convince the police that Walt forced her to help him and she was not a willing accomplice, she would have been arrested and out on trial (even if she was exhonerated in the end, which is a big if, it would have taken a while). Throughout all of that, the kids would have been taken into foster care, and even after Skylar's exhoneration, it would have been a battle to get them back.

So I always wondered how they were shown to still live with Skylar in the final episode.

"I'd like to believe..." It's your effing story, it can be whatever you want it to be. Tell the fans what you think. Smh

I think he's preventing himself by saying that Walter got a happy ending, but knowing his ego, he succeeded in what he set out to do, and with the belief he has set things right within his capability, you could say he's happy and satisfied.

Realization dawns on me that unlike Marie, Skyler and Junior (and Holly was even still too young obviously, so not her by choice anyway) didn't attend the sentencing hearing for Jimmy/Saul. They were ready to move on and put it behind them.

Walt's content at the end of his life. Under the circumstances, he achieved most of what he wanted and got to die in peace to a degree. It was the right kind of ending for him certainly. Haha.

I am amazed how w.w escaped from police while he was in house with Skyler talking and police were outside having an eye

Watching the baby shower home video is so sad. Imagine being Holly watching that knowing that man she never knew was a monster

“I hope” or “I guess” is reminding me a lot of the Duffer Brothers on Stranger Things 5 plot holes.

10 months after Walt's death, 9 million dollars are granted to Flynn as charity by the guys who Walt founded Gray Matter with; one of them being his ex-girlfriend.
I think Skyler would be suspicious about that money.

Didn't answer anything about his family, really. Skyler was laundering money, commiting felonies, we never got any closure as to what sort of deal she was given but in real life CPS would have taken her kids away and she'd be in jail.

Walter wasn’t happy he was satisfied that the final duty was done that the money would likely be sent to his family but he was obviously still upset his family hated him.
