This is it, production of episodes 55 to 62 of Breaking Bad has begun last week, starting with episode 5.09, penned by Peter Gould (longtime writer on the show since the beginning, credited on 9 episodes) and helmed by Heisenberg himself, Bryan Cranston (he previously directed episodes 2.01 and 3.01).
