While I’m sure no one is quite delighted to hear that their favorite AMC drama will only have a final run of eight episodes, we can all breathe that Breaking Bad didn’t outstay it’s welcome and eventually jump the shark. In only eight episodes, expect utter chaos to ensue and at least one coffin to be filled.

Last time we saw Walter White, Jesse, Hank and the gang was at a cordial familial dinner at the White house, not to be confused with the White House. All was well and cheery. Walt had seemingly retired a rich man and his long estranged wife Skyler seemed to finally be a little cheery (or at least she wasn’t attempting to kill herself in front of her guests). But all these skippy-doo smiles come to an abrupt halt when Hank takes an inopportune bowel movement and discovers a decisive clue that WW is indeed the notorious methamphetamine kingpin, Heisenberg.
All that we know of what is to come thus far is that in the not too distant future, Walt will sit down by his lonesome in a little diner out of town for some bacon and a side of firearms in the parking lot to celebrate his 52nd birthday.
END SPOILERS
