mokie: Hannibal Lecter sits on his shiny blue couch (media viewing)
In the first episode of the show, Walter gets his diagnosis: terminal lung cancer. He's got two years, reckons his doctor.

In the first episode of the fifth season, which producers made known was the last season, we see Walter celebrating his second birthday post-diagnosis.

Add everyone connected with the show saying in interviews that Walt can't ever walk away from his life of crime and the show can only end with his death, the return of his cancer half-way through the final season, and the character openly stating to another character in the penultimate episode that one day soon he was going to walk in and find Walt dead...

Is "The King is Dead" really a spoiler?

(Especially when the line seems to be used symbolically, in a design focused on Walt's rapidly crumbling meth empire?)

About dream/reading tags

y-* tags categorize dreams.

For types: beyond the obvious, there are dreamlets (very short dreams), stubs (fragment/outline of a partially-lost dream), gnatter (residual impression of a lost dream).

For characters: there are roles (characters fitting an archetype), symbols (characters as symbols), and sigils (recurring figures with a significance bigger than a single dream's role/symbolism).

x-* tags categorize books.

Material is categorized primarily by structure, style and setting. If searching for a particular genre, look for the defining features of that genre, e.g. x-form:nonfic:bio, x-style:horror, x-setting:dystopian.
