It's finally August, which means that Breaking Bad fans can rejoice!  The final eight episodes of the series will start to air August 11^th on AMC.

Recently, the cast and show creator sat down with TimesTalk to promote the final episodes.  What Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Vince Gilligan had to say about their characters and the show might shock you!

Bryan Cranston was asked if he thought his character Walt deserves to die at the end of the series. 

"I think there's a good case for that, that maybe that's a fitful end," he said.

Then Cranston said something that had much of the audience speechless, according to Hollywoodlife.com.

"And yet what if the thing he wanted the most, which was the togetherness of his family-what if he lived and they didn't?" he said, shocking the audience.  Now that's something to huge to consider!

"Or maybe [Walter] should die," he continued, relieving the tension in the audience.  "I vacillate on this."

The audience also found out some interesting info from Aaron Paul.  Paul said his character was initially supposed to die at the end of the first season.

"When I was hired to play Jesse Pinkman, I had no idea the initial plan that he was going to meet his demise at the end of the first season," Paul said.

In another revealing interview with "Nightline," the cast and show creator talked about some of the details of season 5.

At the end of the first half of season 5, Jesse Pinkman was very upset about the death of an innocent boy after the train robbery goes awry.  He then had a breakdown in front of Walt in which he declared he was done with the meth trade.  However, Paul said that his character might not be done with the business just yet.

"[Jesse] is more lost than he has ever been, and he is struggling to pick up the pieces," Paul said.  "But it's never that easy really.  It's never that easy.  So it's definitely somewhere I didn't see it going, and that's what's so great about this show and this gig and that it's always surprising.  It's always a shock."

Also, Paul said he was concerned about his character's fate, after being asked if he should be worried if Jesse would survive.

"Yeah, of course, I think every character on the show should be worried.  If Jesse ends up going out, I hope he goes out guns blazing, but I don't know if that's going to be the case," he said.

"I think the writers of 'Breaking Bad' have decided just to burn all the bridges around, because it's the final goodbye.  So it's going to be a brutal, violent finish," he revealed.

But creator Vince Gilligan said the show was always going to have a finite ending. 

"Television shows are designed to be indefinite.  This one, from its very conception, was not.  It needed to end," he said during the TimesTalk.  Gilligan also said he cried when he wrote the finale, because it occurred the him that he's "never going to be writing this character [Walter] again.  It was a lot of water under the bridge."

Sounds like an exciting, shocking, and moving series finale.  We will start to know what happens in 10 days.  Let the countdown begin!  In the meantime, check out the great teaser directly from AMC.
