Crap. My beloved Breaking Bad is over until its final season happens, which won't be until NEXT SUMMER. A*!hole networks and TV people, how can they make us wait that long?

I belatedly watched the last episode of Season Four, Face Off, last night.

So Gus is dead! Half his face a really big mess (gone). Thus the clever double entendre title of the episode. A shockingly satisfying demise, though I admit I will miss Gus. I will! But Walt won. Are you happy now, Walt, you egotistical maniac?

But how could it be possible that Walt might have poisoned that little boy, son of Jesse's girlfriend, with lily of the valley berries? I know Walt has been really really bad, several times to the point that I actually stopped liking his Breaking Bad-Assed-Ness, but poisoning that little boy? Surely not possible. Is Walt's mind really capable of such a convoluted and ruthlessly cold plan to kill Gus via the old "poison an innocent little boy" route?

However, by next summer will I even care about Walt's mind or motivations or emotions?

I wonder if Skyler will be skinnier by next summer. I kinda hope so, not sure why. I like her both ways. I wonder what is going to happen with Walt's son -- something's got to happen there. It's a big fat story element that needs to be tended to. And I wonder what good old Mike will be up to, once he is back from Mexico and no longer has a job working for Gus. Please, Breaking Bad writers/directors, DO bring him back to Albuquerque! Don't let Mike just fade away, gimpily limping off into some hazy Mexican saloon. That would be very bad form. We want Mike to reappear, for sure.

I wonder what our adorable hound dog-with-a-bone Hank is going to do next. That guy has a NOSE for sniffing out the coldest, deadest crime clues. Is he going to sniff out Walt? What then? Will his wife somersault back to shoplifting insanity? Or worse? I vote for worse and even crazier. :-)

And Walt again. Maybe he will become the next Big Drug Cartel Lord and Master, with Jesse as his righthand man and Skyler as his lefthand woman. . . and his son as . . . what . . . ??????? Oh his sweet son. How can they screw the son over? Please don't destroy the son, guys (or gals -- are there any gals participating in the writing of this show? I wonder.). What is the son's name? It escapes me at the moment.

I could go on and on, what's the hurry? I've got eight freaking months to wonder how it will all come crashing down . . . or not.

Just one or two or three more things: I wonder, will Jesse ever maybe become a fine master cabinet-maker and live happily ever after? Will Walt's lung cancer come back to save him from the even worse fate of Being So Damn Bad? I'm glad I don't have to wonder or worry about Skyler's ex-lover, forgot his name. He deserved to die by tripping on his fancy oriental rug and sliding across the floor and bonking his head on a coffee table leg.
