Breaking Bad

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

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?

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 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.

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

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

Ooooooooooooh, can't wait!

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!
