I would be a lot more entertained by Emily's column if I hadn't periodically read her tweets about BB and her guesses for these last few episodes. The tweets were wish fulfillment and fantastical.
Much like her column about the finale. Sure we didn't see WW drive off, but the show doesn't show a lot of stuff. How did Walt get from the cabin to the town bar in his physical state previous ep? Every ep has jumps in time.
If not for te periodic scenes to the finale, we could make the argument I guess he died on the floor of the cabin, but I don't think it's the writers' intent.
Maybe you don't think Walt deserved to get what he wants, but the entire series follows his character consistently and logically to this end.
Back in college, one of my screenwriting profs liked to say that every scene you write should be either surprising or inevitable. I don't agree with that as an unbreakable absolute, but the reason this ep failed for me was that it was neither - where it should have felt inevitable, it was just predictable. (I suppose Gretchen and Elliot were a little surprising, but then the fakeout with the laser pointers brought it right back into predictability.)
Oh dear lord the end of Monday's Colbert Report (with Vince Gilligan) is fantastic.
I'll be honest, I am not really understanding y'all's criticisms. I'm not saying it was perfect, but the specific flaws you're pointing out, I don't see.

Oh good. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that here.
I loved the list of possible continuations that Colbert came up with. You could tell he and his staff were a little... obsessed.
Hi, White Collar! Hi.
Mozzie struggling not to go all conspiracy theory was very fun. And I am in for at least several more iterations of Neal Investigates His Own Crime, that's always good times.
Also, "Sterling!" may have beat out "Badger!" as the thing I want to yell at the screen when Mark Sheppard semi-unexpectedly appears.
"Mozzie" looks unexpectedly handsome with a goatee. I vote the actor should adopt one in real life.

Whereas I was thinking "Read the fine print on a deal with the King of Hell!!"
Never diversify, Mark, never diversify...
That would have been appropriate advice.
OMG Neal and Peter's loveissopure.
I mean, if by "pure," you mean painful and based on lies.
