Line 21:
** Tuco finally getting his just desserts in "Grilled" is ''incredibly'' satisfying after all the pain he put Walt and Jesse through. Whether it's Walt's ''vicious'' [[The Reason You Suck Speech|verbal takedown]], his screams of agony when Jesse shoots him in the gut and ''kicks'' the bullet wound, or Hank finishing him off Scarface-style, you'll be cheering as you watch this "insane, degenerate piece of filth" meet a gruesome end.
** Walt {{spoiler|tricking Mike into letting him order the murder of Gale}} isn't satisfying because of the act itself (if anything, {{spoiler|Gale's death}} is one of the show's saddest moments). Rather, it's because he makes {{spoiler|Mike}} look like a complete ''idiot'' after having to deal with his condescending, creepy attitude.
** {{spoiler|'''Jesse strangling Todd to death''' in the finale.}} {{spoiler|Jack's death}} is satisfying as well, but {{spoiler|Todd}}'s is especially so after all the shit he did to Jesse, as well as {{spoiler|his callous murder of a child and Andrea}}. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue-lVK6Y5pI Just watch this crowd's reaction and try not to cheer along with them.]
** Thanks to ''Better Call Saul'', we have a retroactive example in Mike's killing of {{spoiler|Leonel Salamanca}}. In the context of this show, it's just him taking care of loose ends for Gus. But with the prequel taken into account, {{spoiler|he's getting personal vengeance on one of the men that threatened to kill his granddaughter}}.
** Similar to the above example, {{spoiler|Gus' horrific murder of Victor}} is ''so much more satisfying'' thanks to ''Better Call Saul'' showing off how much of a sadistic asshole he is. {{spoiler|For many viewers, it's a retroactive form of [[Laser-Guided Karma]] for having the gall to ''smirk'' at Nacho's suicide.}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: Jack Welker, leader of the Aryan Brotherhood. And Walt himself may have crossed the line into becoming one towards the end of the show, committing illegal atrocities purely because it makes him feel alive. If not for his concern for his family and [[Villainous BSOD]]-inspired atonement in the finale, he'd have been 100% far gone. But as it stands, he only made it 99% of the way.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The music that plays when {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b6sDY7hiB4 Gus walks into the nursing home in ''Face Off''] }}. It manages to convey the emotion of that scene perfectly.
