(CNN) -- Five years. Sixty-two episodes. One big, presumably bloody finale.

Hundreds of possible ways it could end.

With "Breaking Bad" careening toward a climax Sunday night, fans of the AMC show -- newly anointed by Emmy voters as the best drama on TV -- are feverishly doing the plot-resolution math. The Internet is buzzing with potential clues, predictions and crazy theories as viewers debate the most fitting way to send teacher-turned-drug-lord Walter White into the Albuquerque sunset.

Which characters will survive? Will Walt die, and how? Who is the vial of ricin, and the machine gun in his trunk, meant for? What will become of wife Skyler, son Walt Jr., sister-in-law Marie and -- most pressing of all -- Jesse, his tormented ex-partner in crime?

Cryptic comments by Vince Gilligan, the show's creator, have only stoked the speculation.

"We worked long and hard to ensure that ... the very last episode would satisfy an audience," he told Entertainment Weekly. "I am guardedly optimistic that we have achieved just that. And furthermore, trying to be as coy as possible, trying to give away as little as possible, I feel like this ending represents on some level, however small, something of a victory for Walter White.

"Read into that what you will. And try to be as open-minded as possible when you watch this episode, because it may not indeed feel like a victory. Or maybe it will."

Got that?

Only Gilligan, his actors and crew know for sure how the show will end its run. But that hasn't stopped the rest of us from trying to guess. Here are five theories:

1. How many years was Breaking Bad?
2. How many episodes?
3. What night does it come on?
4. How many ways could it end?
5. Who created it?
6. Who interviewed him?
7. Do they want to keep the ending secret?
8. Who will it make a victory for?
9. Who knows how it will end?
10. How many theories are there?
11. Will the ending be violent?
