The characters introduced in season 5 are poorly developed, uninteresting and seem to have been written in to hasten plot development since the end of the series is near. The earlier characters were MUCH richer, incorporated more interesting plot angles and dialogue, etc. Compare Tuco, Jane, Combo, even Ken the lawyer to Lydia, Todd, etc. The new characters are lame.
How convenient that Todd's relative (uncle) knows hit men on the inside of all of those institutions who can operate in that fashion. Killing ten at the same time is nonsense, I'm sorry. I can allow for Walter pulling off some borderline impossible acts but having the entire season depend on a constant string of them is tedious and unbelievable, in the real sense of the word. The train thing in the Dead Freight episode is thoroughly stupid.
I sincerely wish the show had stopped either at the end of season 3 or 4. It was an excellent show in its early seasons but has really softened over time. There are still some great moments but the show has lost its focus.
