Breaking Bad

walterm852

This show has done an unbelievable job of pulling the rug out from under me, its silly to even try to guess what is going to happen but .....

We know Walter ends up at some point in New Hampshire from previous episode (season 4). This is probably where he is relocated initially. Time passes, its when he turns 51 because he was making a 51 with his bacon in the diner.
We also know he comes back to his house, at least 1 year later, to get the ricin with the whole world knowing he is a drug kingpin

Here is my guess, since we know Walt is coming back to the neighbor (from the seasons opening scene), there has to be a reason. My guess its to protect (avenge) his family (Nazi's threatened Jesse's Brock, they will do the same to Jesse family, who will call Saul, etc, who will get Walter ). Walter has the big gun (m60) in trunk and goes to the house to get the ricin. The ricin has to be for someone other than himself, he could shoot himself easier than going back to the house, the ricin is for a surprise killing. The M 60 is for heavy damage, more than 1 person. I think in coming back for the Nazis, it will create a plausible situation that makes for Jesse and him to have to work together.

Nobody wants Nazis to have that money something is going to happen to them, they will fight amongst themselves, and Walt will get who is left.
This show is a tragedy (in the literary sense, like a Shakespeare tragedy, or "24"), there is not going to be happy ending for Walt. Jesse is going to get away, and live a underwhelming life.

Just a guess

just to clarify your timeline...walter is already 51...he turns 52 in the diner....he is somewhere around 3 to 6 months away from his 52nd birthday during last nights show.

That flashback last night was painful to watch - and not just because it took forever and I wanted to know what was going to happen to Hank (RIP ASAC Shrader). But also because it was hard to see Walt, Skyler, and especially Jesse still relatively happy compared to how they all are now. Wonderful acting on everyone's part, especially Anna Gunn. I think Skyler kind of redeemed herself a little but attacking Walt with the knife (I totally called that BTW - they lingered on the knife set a little too long in the flashback). And Walt Jr. was calm under pressure with his 911 call. I think RJ Mitte did a great job in this episode of reacting exactly how a teenager would if he heard devastating news about his parents.
So sad about Hank though, but at least he got to die with some dignity on his own terms. And got a little barb in at Walt at the end. Great episode.

Just a guess

I heard a rumor there is a spinoff with Jesse "Better Call Saul" is the title?

jesse has not been rumored to be in that spin off unless that is new news this week. and from what iive heard theres a good chance the Saul spin off will be a prequel. that would be great because we'd get to see Mike and Gus in cameos at least hopefully.

ive been reading some stuff online. i missed this when watching last night. it appears that Todd having Jesse cook isnt known by the rest of the nazis. this is his own project. a big part of learning the cook is to impress Lydia. makes sense to me.

just to clarify your timeline...walter is already 51...he turns 52 in the diner....he is somewhere around 3 to 6 months away from his 52nd birthday during last nights show.

After re-watching the Crystal Blue Persuasion montage and hearing how old Holly is in last night's episode, his 52nd birthday is 3 months away (just based on how far along Skylar was in her pregnancy in the pilot episode). The writers have crammed a lot into the program since Walt turned 51.

As for the full head of hair, it's a show oversight. You can't grow it back that fast after stopping chemo. It would be about half that length.

I can't see the series ending without Walt's pride and ego inspiring him to go all Heisenberg on Jack, Kenny & Todd. Despite all the falling out with him & Jesse, I still think there's another shoe to drop there and Walt ends saves him (though it may be inadvertent as a matter of disposing of his captors).

I have always assumed that the hair is part of his disguise and he's wearing a wig. Same with the full beard and different glasses.

This would be a good scenario.

last 2 eps will be 1 hour and 15 minutes each. so we are getting a little more BB than we expected.

I have been losing sleep thinking of all the possible outcomes....am I the only one???

Laces_0ut

I'm drinking to deal with the stress of it all . . .

I know someone who has been having nightmares.

Ooooooooooooh, can't wait!

I just watched again, and I don't think Walt will help Jesse. He had an opportunity to save Jesse after Hank was killed but he called Jesse out, didn't give a crap what the thugs would do with him, then made Jesse suffer more when he told him that he watched Jane die. He'll go back for his money only, if he does at all.

he does love his money...never saw him jump more than when he thought jesse was about to burn it....but if hes thinking it throug he has to realize the nazis have put it somewhere out of his reach.

remember the events of hte last episode are still months away in the timeline...he has to grow his hair back and see his birthday. and he will be alone.....he knows he can never have his family again...but my guess is he will start to feel guilty about jesse and regret his actions and will try to save him in the end.

going back just for the money just doesnt seem like something Gilligan would do.

I just read this. I agree. It is feasible that Walt could help Jesse again..and his focus on money is a good point. Walt was so hateful and focused on hurting Jesse it would just be another surprise for me to see this happen.

Almost every show, Gilligan makes me hate Walt, then does something to reveal Walt's heart. In the last show it was the conversation he had on the phone with Skye. I was actually impressed (smh at my sentimental nature) that Walt took the time to do something thoughtful and clever to protect Skye in the midst of a very bad day for Walt, a day where he was betrayed, and suffered great loss on so many levels.

I had nightmares about the show the night of the shootout cliffhanger. Last week, I had dreams about it but not as much. But I'm pregnant and that tends to cause crazy dreams so maybe it's just me...

Next weekend is homecoming for my college, about three hours away. We are going like we do every year but we're going to have to make sure we make it home in time! We have the DVR set just in case!

Laces_0ut

so Jesse basically got Andrea killed. did he think the Nazis were bluffing?

Alluminati

I can't believe we're nearly at the end. What a series, though.

*********spoiler alert**********










I wasn't even sad when Brocks mom bit the dust.

BeachIron

I'm surprised that Walt's family is still alive at this point.

So Walt is going back to kill the Nazis and poison Gretchen and Eliot?

yep. didnt think he'd wind up hating anyone more than the nazis.

Hey, at least we know what the poison was for. It was seriously bugging me before tonight because we knew he wouldn't be using it for the Nazis.

Laces_0ut

the more i think about it though we only have an hour and 15 minutes left. how much are they going to devote to poisoning gretchen and eliot? hed have to break in and put it in their food? if hes going to all that trouble wouldnt it be more satisfying just to shoot them?

im starting to think it will be what i predicited in post one....he'll use it himself. but who knows right? i hope its none of the above.

BeachIron

He's ambitious but he won't be able to get to Gretchen and Eliot.

His family dies. Walt goes in gun battle with the Nazis.

Funny I was just arguing this with my husband. He thinks the same as you both. I disagreed, I thought it was more symbolic of how he felt like he was the failure in Grey matter, and it served to remind him that he had something to prove. I just don't see them wasting the last epi on those two schmoes.

Laces_0ut

best ending would be after the dust settles...Walt dead....Jesse dead...nazis dead....except for Todd. he and Lydia retire to a tropical island and live happily ever after.

The End.
