- TriviaThis is the only time in the entire series where most of the show's full theme song is played. It is not played through from beginning to end however.
- GoofsWhen Walt sits in the bar at the end, he orders a neat Dimple Pinch. The bartender pours about a fifth of a glass. Two minutes later there is a shot of the glass, which is now not only smaller than the last one, but also half full. The scene ends with a shot of the glass Walt ordered from the beginning combined with cops in the background. This continuity error was caused by the loss of a canister of film and parts of the scene having to be re-shot.

Featured review
Rock bottom
One of my favorite "Breaking Bad" scenes occurs in the closing moments of "Granite State". Walter White sits there at the bar, weakened by chemo and utterly hopeless, witnesses his former business partners smearing his only remaining legacy on "Charlie Rose". It's bad enough he's stuck in the New Hampshire mountains, can't get his money to the people that need it, and the police are on their way to arrest him. But that one last blow to his ego is just the right spur to reignite his will. And you can just see the fires of an exploding sun behind Cranston's eyes, it's a hell of an image. And it does a fine job of teasing the final episode where who-the-hell-knows will happen.
If "Ozymandias" was about violently razing the Heisenberg empire, "Granite State" is about the very depths of that pit of despair; not felt just by Walt, but almost everyone around him. It's sad on a very different level.
9/10
