While at Sundance promoting his new film He’s Engaged Now So Who Cares I’m Not Going To Look Up The Name Of It, Aaron Paul chatted a bit with MTV (either Carson Daly or Jesse Camp, I assume) about the final seasons of Breaking Bad. I’m pretty sure no one knows how Breaking Bad is going to end at this point, not even Vince Gilligan, not even Don Draper, not even Andy Cohen, not even GOD ITSELF, so you can imagine the SHOCK I felt when reading the Aaron Paul pullquote — “I KNOW HOW IT ENDS.” Whaaaaaaaaaaaat! From MTV:
“I know how it ends,” Paul told MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival, where he’s promoting the release of his new movie “Smashed.”
Ugh, SMASHED. I didn’t want to know the name of it! It sounds super dumb, like Crash. Blah, terrible. Terrible movie, Aaron Paul, I CAN SEE WHY YOU WERE CAST IN IT. Anyway, what? You know how it ends?! That’s a pretty big detail, certainly enough of a detail for one interview, I’m sure Paul isn’t going to spill any further details.
You wouldn’t think Paul would spill any further details, but he proceeded to drop a bombshell bigger than the one that took out Gus Fring.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? First of all, SPOILER ALERT. Second of all, I’m about to have a heart attack bigger than the one that took out Coach Taylor! (I assume?) (I’ve only seen the first seven episodes of Friday Night Lights.) (They all die of heart attacks, yes?) (LOL, because their hearts were too full.) (Just thought of that right now.) (Pretty impressive joke.)
“Jesse dies,” he deadpanned.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT????????????
And just like Fring, our jaws dropped to the floor at the stunning revelation.
Just like Fring, I am dead in an overly cartoony and unbelievable way that doesn’t fit the style of the series.
But true to Pinkman’s prankster ways, Paul immediately cracked up and cleared the air.
Is Pinkman a prankster? I don’t remember him pulling very many pranks. Is the time he got addicted to meth a prank? Was the time he melted that body in the bathtub a prank? Was the time he SPOILDERED SPOILER a prank? Anyway, WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT, DOES HE DIE OR WHAT!?
“No, no, no! He doesn’t die! Or maybe he does,” he continued ominously. “I don’t know! Actually, I have no idea what’s going to happen. But I’m excited to see [it play out].”
Oh.
(Thanks for the tip, Scott!)

I know how Aaron Paul is going to die.*
*Bludgeoned by a Ciroc gift bag.
Great interview. Great story. Congratulations everyone for time well spent.
MTV: so today we talked to Kim Jong Un, son of Il, to tell us about his plans for North Korea going forward
Un Yeah I’m gonna declare war on Australia, drop a nuke on em. Start a World War. North Korea 4eva.
MTV: *Jaws drop*
Un: Ha ha no no jk, I’m not gonna do that. We don’t even have any nukes. My dad…get this…my dad didn’t even golf. Couldn’t hold a club – hip problems.
No lame heart attack could take out Coach Taylor.
Oh please. Everyone knows that Jessie is just a figment of Walter’s imagination.
Walter White is going to wake up in a bed next to Jane Kaczmarek and realize the whole thing was a dream. Then he’ll ask Jane to maybe start using more lip filler*
*You are not fooling anyone, Anna Gunn.
Yeah, and he probably has no arms? And next to his bed there is a book on “Method Acting,” but part of the title is obscured. I feel like it’s all so obvious.
Walter and Jessie part ways at the end, with Jessie finding it difficult to say farewell to his mentor and partner. As Walter helicopters away from the drug lab the following day, he sees that Jessie spelled out “YO, GOODBYE BITCH” in stones on the ground.
After a few moments of everyone feeling touched by this seeming show of affection, a scowl comes over Walter’s teeth face, as he realizes Jesse has planted a bomb on the helicopter.
Special appearance Marky Mark.
Just like Fring, I am dead in an overly cartoony and unbelievable way that doesn’t fit the style of the series.
Yeah, well, that’s just like, your opinion… man.
It’s not cartoony at all how Marie wears purple all the time.
It’s not cartoony how Walt always wears definitive colors when he enters new stages of his life.
It’s not cartoony how the meth is blue.
It’s not cartoony how the first episode had Walt in a green shirt and underwear pointing a gun at emergency vehicles.
It’s not cartoony how Saul has a giant blow-up Statue of Liberty outside of his office.
Saul’s office is in no way cartoony, with its giant pillars, fake port holes, and Declaration of Independence wallpaper.
Walt and Jesse’s ski masks are not cartoony, for sure.
Nor is Hector ringing his bell.
or those pink, one-eyed teddy bears.
Jane was the farthest thing from a cartoon, and she was great and her arc was SO sad.
Don’t mean to be obnoxious. Just felt like listing examples of how cartoonish this show is. And by ‘cartoonish,’ I mean the show nails down a visual, symbolic shorthand that clues the viewers in to who the characters are, how they relate to the world and one another, and what drives them.
seriously though, everytime i get a glimpse of marie and her kitchen wares i get a little frustrated. no one is that coordinated, no one. she has a completely purple life. it drives me insane. out of everything in this damn show that could get on my nerves, that is what my o.c.d. has decided to fixate itself on, stupid purple kitchen wares.
Hope some rad showdown with Hank is in store for us. Hank is my favorite character on the program.
He was in Starship Troopers! I found that out last weekend when it was on tv.
hank is by far one of the best law enforcement agents on the teevee. he is so much like a real cop, kind of a dick but with his heart in the right place (so i guess he’s like a small percentage of real police, because a lot of the albuquerque police department is not so good. i am not a fan).
“Well, that sucked”
Aaron Pranks or Jesse Prankman?
Discuss.
I will only accept a series finale that includes Walt having to kill his whole family to protect them and provide for their future or something, and in the process he will harvest all of Jesse’s organs without anesthetic and while Jesse is under the influence of a staggering amount of LSD. Hank will make a miraculous recovery and punch Walt’s face off, leading Walt to take Jesse’s face because Walk can’t save his dead family without a face. Jesse, now devoid of organs and a face, will patch things up with Walt and agree to serve a life sentence in America’s most terrifying prison. Walt decides to trade in the Aztec for a Reliant Regal. The end.
