"I was really nervous about coming up with the end of this thing for a year straight - for six years straight," he said. "The best hope we had to come up with something that, hopefully, most people will like was to satisfy ourselves, the seven of us in the writers' room, [as well as] the cast and the crew."
"I'm very proud of the ending," Gilligan added. "I can't wait for everyone to see it. I am very cautious in my estimate, in general, of how people will respond to things. I hope I am not wildly wrong to estimate that most folks are going to dig the ending."
