The baby is obviously in the lab learning the meth game so that she can take over once Walt bites it in the finale.

Aww, I really wanted Jesse to live happily ever after in Alaska.
My jaw was on the floor for the confession part. When he started fake crying at the end, Jesus Christ.
Walt isn't going to off Jesse right now. The entire show hinges on the relationship between the two. The flashforward must be Walt going to rescue Jesse from the Nazis, who have kidnapped him because Todd's cooks have fallen below acceptable standards. Walt will redeem himself in some small way before taking the ricin and dying a few days later in prison. That's how I'm seeing it, anyways.
Oh yeah, the "confession" was beautifully. I applauded... in my head though 'cause I watch it alone and don't want to be that weird.
Miriel is so smart. She knew exactly that was going to happen as soon as they sat down to dinner!
I know it was never gonna happen but why couldn't you have just gotten in the van Jesse??? WHY??? :crying2::crying:
You would have loved Alaska. You would have worn flannel and met a girl and gotten a dog. :whimper:
Walt is utterly evil and unlikeable now...but I guess that's the point
I am pretty certain Walt is going to lose his throne. Todd and his group may take over. Walt shouldn't have taught someone he couldn't trust how to cook and now that will come back to bite him in the ass. Lydia will also screw him over (and is already evidently) by partnering with Todd's skinheads to make a new empire.
The thing with Jesse is yes he finds out everything except the Jane thing (I didn't like that lame ass revelation by the way), but there is no way he succeeds at burning his house down because we see it in the flash forward in a previous episode. I find it odd how Holly has been oddly absent for a while and I think Walt will use Jesse's weakness towards children to further manipulate Jesse in to doing what he wants him to do.
Side note: I totally slow clapped after Walt's confessional video. That was some of the best writing and acting I have ever seen.
I don't think Walt will redeem himself but the wire has me wonder...
Walt is a sociopath who feigns guilt. Jesse feels real guilt. Their relationship is extremely weird, but you must remember Walt keeps people near him that he can further manipulate: Skylar, Flynn, Marie
EDIT: Actually scratch that. Walt did seem to feel genuine guilt about killing Jane and the first guy he killed. I think he slowly lead in to descent and will keep spiraling downward, but there is still a lot in their relationship that has yet to be explained. I think Walt wants to keep Jesse alive for the sake of having a formidable protege if he does die and was disappointed when Jesse decided he wanted to stop making meth.
That confession was one of the best moments of TV of the year. I knew that drug money to pay Hank's medical bills was going to come back and bite him in the ass, but I did not expect Walt to be so goddamn artful and brilliant in the blackmail. Just beautiful.
Walt is a pathological user at this point who is incapable of ever backing down. Jesse totally called it when Walt was trying to manipulate him to leave.
I actually got the distinct feeling that Todd is gonna kick the bucket before the end. Not exactly the brightest fellow, that Todd.Quote:

Yeah I don't get that either and I am sure since he is DEA he has good health insurance.
That doesn't mean Hank wouldn't make Walt pay out of his share, or any other plausible scenario Walt could invent (e.g., Hank having used Walt to hide/launder the money, thereby requiring Walt to get the cash). I agree with Hank's analysis that the $170k in drug money to pay his medical bills would sink him.Quote:

My dad also works for the government and probably makes less than a DEA agent yet was still able to pay for his. It would have made more sense if they said something along the lines of him not having a lot of money because of Marie's lavish spending habits or whatever.
As for the most recent episode, this is my first time not being surprised by the turn of events. Hank coming to stop him was evident and them teaming up is the only way for them to take down Walt without incriminating themselves, but now with that plan foiled it will be interesting how things progress.
