I think cancer is already 'back' and Walt knows about it, it's gonna end up with him dying and leaving the moolah for his fam. Pure guess here.

 

I think the cancer may take him, but either way, I think the DEA finds out about him right around the time he dies, and when he dies, all the money gets confiscated by the government anyway, so he dies in vain.

I can't see this show having a "happy" ending.

That was another great episode of Breaking Bad.

Well, he was inspecting an M60 in the trunk of the car in the season opener. That's usually not a sign of good times.

We did? I don't recall Walt ever saying he was bought out for his share of the company, which was only $5,000 compared to the nearly $900M it would be worth right now.

 

But we knew that something happened between Gretchen and him that forced him to leave and that Gretchen and her husband are now lavishly wealthy while Walt was a poorly paid high school teacher. The exact amounts aren't that important, and him telling Jesse that his empire is all he has left was much more powerful.

 

(pedantic quibble: his personal shares likely wouldn't have been worth $900M. The company had been public for a while at that point and the three founders wouldn't have remained in complete control and ownership of the company. Still, he'd be a decamillionaire if not a centimillionaire.

Did you need it spelled out for you? It was made abundantly clear that Walt missed out on easy fortunes, yet he refused to take money from his former partners for treatment. Nothing's changed, other than the fact that Jesse now knows.

Im not sure Walt missed out on anything.

 

Im pretty sure that Walt basically took his ball and went home when things didnt go his way. It appears the other partners wanted Walt involved, but Walt only wanted to do things on his terms.

 

 

They very heavily implied that he and Gretchen had some sort of thing in the past and that the love triangle is why he wasn't involved with Grey Matter.

Right he wanted everything, including Gretchen, and he left when he couldnt have it his way.

 

Although I would guess that there is more to the Gretchen story and that it somehow involves Walt and a destructive tendency.

I like how you tied that together.

Knowing that he could be rich, and knowing that he could be worth $900M are completely different. Plus, I was under the impression that he was pushed out of the company and saw nothing, not that he CHOSE to leave the company for only $5000 for a buyout. Not the same thing.

 

But this definitely gives a sense of reckless abandon now for Walt and that he won't stop until he can be satisfied with his own empire, like the one he should already be involved in.

good stuff there.

The opening scene of this season showed him doing the bacon thing for his birthday by himself instead of with his family.

 

There's no way the show ends well.

Yeah my prediction is that he has to kill Hank and his family gets killed by the cartel. Losing his whole family would be a nice full-circle from the intentions he started with at the beginning.

Isn't the cartel all dead?

There's this new Phoenix-based cartel/drug ring now.

Yeah. I wouldn't call them a cartel though. Drug ring or competition sounds better.

I thought Mike referred to them as the "cartel guys" but maybe I misheard. Either way...THOSE guys.

I forgot about that intro of the first episode.

Wow. I have caught a lot of those in my repeat viewings, but wow!

An in-depth breakdown of the dinner table scene in last Sunday's Breaking Bad. Goes over directing/filming conventions and techniques and how they're brilliantly used in BB to add realism and tension.

That scene was one of the most uncomfortable scenes to watch, which seems silly bcause it's just three people having dinner. But damn did we not feel for Jesse at that moment. I loved how he ends his speech about frozen dinners with a shaky, "Yeah, it's bad."

I just thought of something about Walt and Jesse. It's a longshot, but what if

what if Jesse has been turned and the watch he gave Walt has a tracker or bug? That could be one way the series ends with Walt finding out and killing or trying to kill Jesse as he's being hunted by the DEA.

Not a bad theory. It seems like the smallest things mean something, that could well be right.

That article goes into some of the reasons why it's so uncomfortable, namely that visually it's a 'nuclear family' sitting down to dinner (show a still of that scene to someone unfamiliar with the show and they'll identify it that way) but you know it's very, very different from that.

They're definitely setting it up for Jesse to have a moral crisis and be the one who brings it all down imo, but they could be intentionally misleading the audience.
