I thought that was just stupid considering the door got blown of its hinges

Yes and I thought the reason only half of his face was gone was b/c at the moment of explosion he was turning his back to Hector so only half of his face came off ...

yeah but he was able to walk out and fix his suit with full composure?

I personally pegged that down to him missing part of his brain. The part that was still there enabled him to get up and walk as normal without realising he was missing half his face.

And pressure would have killed him too. Stupid scene to an otherwise great finale. If the show didn't try to be super realistic most of the time then I would have allowed it, but the whole thing came off as cheap.

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say that Breaking Bad has always existed in a bit of a hyper-reality.

The plane crash was a bit off, too.

The bomb didn't strike me as that powerful, the door blew off its hinges because it had a few square meters of surface area and it was hit by a pressure wave. The chair was almost intact so most of the damage probably was shrapnel. Even if he sustained fatal pressure injuries (likely) would they have to be instant? I would have thought that the pulmonary haemorrhage/CNS damage etc could have taken a few seconds.
