Sunday night’s Breaking Bad Season 4 finale contained any number of intense OMG WTF moments, but perhaps the most disturbing arrived in the form of a quiet shot at the very end of the episode. The scene took many viewers by surprise, myself included, but as it turns out, the hints were lying in plain sight all along. After the jump, watch a video explaining exactly how the surprise twist went down — as predicted by YouTube user jcham979 days in advance of the finale’s air date. (It should go without saying that MAJOR SPOILERS for the end of Breaking Bad‘s fourth season follow.)

The fact that The Walking Dead is coming back next week is, without a doubt, exciting. It’s not as exciting, though, when you realize that means this Sunday is the fourth season finale of Breaking Bad.
Just when you thought AMC’s award-winning show couldn’t get any better, show runner Vince Gilligan delivers a season that has pretty much seen our two main characters, Walt and Jesse, almost on totally different shows, each going through their own personal hell as things slowly spiral out of control. Star Bryan Cranston was on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast Thursday and dropped some insane teases about Sunday’s finale plus, Hitfix got their hands on the first minute of the episode. We’ve got all of that after the break.
But if millionaire meth magicians with their lives on the line isn’t your thing, you should still click below the jump. That’s where you can see a hilarious trailer for the return of everyone’s favorite MTV cartoon Beavis and Butthead from the mind of Mike Judge. Read More »
