Shortly after the Breaking Bad finale last year, a number of fans–including comedian Norm MacDonald, who generated a lot of Internet heat–claimed that the whole finale episode was, for all intents and purposes, “just a dream.”MacDonald’s idea–echoed by many–was that after a final season of Walter White realizing over and over again that he was maybe not as smart and good at crime as he thought he was, the finale went too perfectly, too easily for Heisenberg. There was a particular moment–parked in the car, before he found the keys–when MacDonald claimed it was obvious to him that White had died, and that the rest of the episode going forward was the fantasy of a dying, cancer-addled mind.While he’s addressed the question briefly in the past, series creator Vince Gilligan, in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, was pretty thorough in debunking the idea this time around.
