Hank then comes back to kill the Nazis, who possibly stole all his money, (with the gun) and Jesse (with the ricin) to avenge his brother-in-law/his empire.

/fanboy theory that's not coming true

love that theory!

Oh, thanks. To flesh it out a little more, Walt's faking his death to escape being a methcook slave to the nazis, not the DEA. We have no indication anyone in the DEA knows anything about the investigation and Hank and Gomie are just going rogue.

I feel like Jesse should be dead too but it doesn't square with the flashforward of going back for Chekov's ricin. You can't kill 10 neonazis with a little ricin and if that's the plan, what does he need the machine gun for. The machine gun is clearly indicated to wipe out a group of people; ricin is much more personal.

I want to know why Walt was so insistent on not having the locks charged.To me that suggests someone else other than his family has access to the house.

Because he was initially trying to keep that from Skyler and say it was an accident. If he wanted the locks changed, that would show a threat.

^^That. Also, Walt has this desire throughout the show to show he's entirely in control and his decisions will have no unintended consequences on his family. It's almost like an affront to him if his family has to suffer the mild inconvenience of getting new keys. It speaks to him not being The One Who Knocks in everything.

All makes sense except Walk faking his death to the Nazis. How could that happen, they'll obviously come up to the car and see him alive in there, no?

Wasn't Walt wearing some sort of camo in the flash forward? This is the same Walt that blew up a fucking building he was in with 4 other dudes and managed to espace almost unscathed. He takes them down at their hillbilly meth farm, takes their machine gun and…….kills people.

IDK, maybe they take him at first and he escapes and since no one has seen him in forever he's presumed dead at Hank's hand or… idk. Its a fanwank theory.

There's a theory floating around on the internet that has screen shots of E0501 with Walt having a clear electronic wire visible under his clothing which leads some to think he goes state's witness. I don't buy into that.

Per The Twitter "Better Call Saul" is a GO. And better yet it's a "prequel", bet they get lots of cool cameos on it.

I dunno how interesting that spin-off will be… Especially with a limited run, unless it takes place….10 to 15 years ago…. I guess they've gotten 5 seasons out of Breaking Bad and it's only been, what, a year in the actual story?

sort of agree…it's a good side character for Breaking Bad but don't know how much mileage they'd get out of him otherwise, guess it depends on storyline

I concur. I couldn't be less enthused for a Better Call Saul spinoff. It seems like one of those SNL movies where the character is amusing in 4-5 minute doses but an entire 90 minutes will fail miserably.

Hey, let Nolan get his hands on the rights to Here Comes Pat and we'll see how great it can be.

What was wrong with the Pat movie??

HOLY FUCK LAST NIGHT

HOLY FUCK LAST NIGHT

I'm kinda speechless.

That was such an emotionally brutal episode. For how much they really, REALLY made me had Skyler, last night I did a complete 180 and I never EVER thought that I would sympathize for her. Jesus Christ, I felt so fucking terrible for Walt Jr when he found out. I felt so terrible for Skyler in that final sequence. Walt is an absolute monster, but you can see that even he can't handle it. His phone conversation and his voice were so fucking evil. I loved it.

My friend pointed out that Marie is almost always wearing something purple [favorite color?], but last night she was wearing black. She did just watch all 4.5 seasons in the past month, so maybe there's some symbolism some may have missed. Insane. If last week was one of the crazier visual and action packed episode of the series, this was by far one of the most emotionally battering episodes of the entire series.

Even if Walt's most evil and brutal moment, he did protect Skyler. On the phone he basically confessed that he did it all on his own and she knew "nothing."

Poor Pinkman, dude can't catch a break!!

yeah, the phone conversation was an act. after holly calls for her mother over and over, he realizes that he's fucked them, and decides to try and salvage. 

who the fuck is he coming back to kill?? it's got to be the nazis, right?

Gotta be Nazis and Jesse…worst case, Skyler??

I think Vince Gilligan's true genius lies in the fact that he has made people like a murderous meth manufacturer while simultaneously hating his wife, who has a (relatively) straighter moral compass and does far more for the family than Walt ever has.
