Will Huell ever leave that hotel room?

Great show. I have my own speculations, but the show has proved me wrong every time I had a prediction. Can't wait to see what twists happen in the finale.

Oh dang forgot about that ricin. I really have no idea what's gonna happen though.

I will say, the episode before this recent one was one of the most epic 45 min I've ever seen on a show. When Hank got shot I literally yelled out "what the fvck!"

Love the show and have been watching since the start. Have not liked all the mistakes WW has made in this season, all the logic holes and head scratch moments that didn't exist in earlier seasons. Who buries all their money in one hole? I mean who the f-ck does that? There are better ways to hide cash fast than that, a kid could come up with better. What's more, WW didn't have an intricate plan in place to disappear during this whole year? The best plan was "call the vacuum guy?" who is presumably smarter than MIT Heisenberg? He wouldn't have been hiding that cash incrementally in different places the minute Skyler showed him the self storage? He wouldn't have an instant exit plan this whole year?

Who has any kind of "meeting" ANY KIND near that one hole where the money is? Could go on and on with all his f-ck ups and misc. logic holes, but the WW who could take on Gus, the MIT genius, the guy who is in control with a smart plan, has been reduced to just an average criminal in the last season. It's inconsistent and I don't like that aspect of the show at all.

Other things such as a band of criminals not instantly being spread to the winds and gone to the four corners... INSTANTLY... upon getting that much cash don't make sense. "Hey we just got 20 million in CASH apiece, let's hang around and cook some more meth, time's a wastin, mouths to feed!!" Having WW and Saul stored in the same place pre disappear? No sense.

Unless they really pull a rabbit out of the hat, I'm going to just pretend the series ended with the death of Gus and imagine WW came to his senses at that point, retired back into poverty, got his school job back and spent his last days teaching chemistry again. This season hasn't really been the best possible ending to a great show.

I bet this show will suck:
Breaking Bad Creator Vince Gilligan To Bring Battle Creek Series To CBS
http://www.cinemablend.com/televisi...igan-Bring-Battle-Creek-Series-CBS-59409.html

I love Breaking Bad, and hate that it's ending. Somehow I doubt Better Call Saul will be nearly as satisfying.

I have seen two glaring errors. In the recent episode where Hank gets killed and they tow away his SUV on a chain, there is no one in the driver's seat of the SUV. If you're ever done that before, you would know that someone has to be in the driver's seat of the vehicle being towed to step on the brake, so that the in-tow vehicle does not crash into the back of the vehicle towing it when it brakes.

The other error was in the first or second season, when Jesse takes the blame for his kid brother's pot. When asked for the joint back, Jesse acts like he is giving it back, then shreds it in front of his brother. He says, 'you didn't want it anyway. That was skunk weed.' Skunk is actually a big compliment in regard to pot; what they were trying to say was schwag.

Other than that, it's probably my favorite show since The X-Files, on which Vince Gilligan was a writer.

I felt a sense of foreshadowing some episode last season when Mr. White and Junior were watching the end of Scarface.

They both quoted along with the "say hello to my little friend..."

Then Mr. White mentioned, "everybody dies in this one..."

Which I took to mean literally.

There were plenty of folks over on IMDB that suggested / believed that Jesse would escape, and end up back together with that single mom.

I didn't see THAT coming, so I'll be interested to see how it plays out.

The show has always been about Walt and Jesse. They will have a final showdown at some point. I don't know that anything to do with Grey Matter will have an effect on the ending, I think that Charlie Rose clip was just a final catalyst to turn Walt back into Heisenburg mode.

I'm thinking that they'll be some twisted ending that frees Walt and shifts all the blame and proof onto Jesse, but Walt feels bad and takes the ricin himself. While many people think Walt is a sociopath, I do think he's got some remorse, especially for Jesse. I think's it's almost a parable about a man who's ego/anger overtake his conscience and allows him to take advantage of a youth/laziness (Jesse).

I see things going totally in the opposite direction. After getting off the phone with junior, his family is gone to him.

And seeing those grey matter dudes on TV reminded him that his empire is lost to him as well, since they mentioned the blue meth is still out on the street.

If Jesse survives, it will be incidental. And giving the brutal nature of how the show is unfolding, I think the final episode will be a bloodbath.

His intention, as I see it, is to reclaim his empire. He will do anything to achieve that.

I'd like to see him show up with some russian mobsters (via lydia) and waste the aryans, and then somehow escape to Europe with his empire.

But I think it will end like scarface, with him getting blown away.

Ain't gonna be no reconciliation.

Walt uses the M60 to kill the Aryans and set Jesse free. Jesse then kills Walt. The end.

I hope it doesn't go down like that, but I don't see Walt surviving.

Great show but, except for Hank and Saul, every character got annoying at some point. The excessive whining and *****ing was a little much. It seemed as if every other scene had one character whining about something or another, while the other one was trying to calm him/her down. Then the next scene the rolls would be reversed. Other than that though, great show.

I agree with dasein. What made the show at the beginning was Walt's genius ideas and game changers. In the latest shows, he's just turned into another schmo like the rest of the characters. And yes, why would a bunch of white trash hillbilly nazi's who just made a score of a lifetime risk 80 Mil just to try to get an operation going again. While all the time they could just disappear, ride off into the sunset, and live like kings.....


Final Scene: Jesse and Walt are in a heated argument screaming and complaining to each other. Jesse wins argument, so Walt gives Jesse money in hopes of settling him down. Jesse throws money into the bushes. Walt starts complaining to Jesse about throwing money away, Jesse then turns angry and threatens Walt. Walt then gives Jesse a speech about how he's smarter than him and created the blue meth. Then Jesse gets mad and swings at Walt, after a few seconds, his punch connects. Because Walt is 60 years old, he stumbles and falls to the ground....breaking his hip in the process. Jesse then realizes he punched Walt with his pinky knuckle, and his hand is now broken. Now Walt's on the ground moaning and wailing because of his broken hip, and Jesse's shouting up to the sky about his broken fist. Then Lydia comes from around the corner and threatens to dump Chai Tea on both of them because she not used to being around that type of behavior, and it's very risky for her. Then, because of the broken concentration by Lydia, the Nazi's see their opportunity, and come out of nowhere and run a train on her. All the while, Jesse's foaming at the mouth, and Walt's crawling towards the money that Jesse threw into the bushes...

Final Scene: Jesse masterminds a meth lab explosion, intending to kill himself and the aryans at the same time. Just as he's about to mix the last chemical, Walt shows up with his M60, saying "it's over when I say it's over"

We have a true Mexican standoff. Jesse with his meth bomb in one corner, Walt with his ready to fire M60 in another, and the aryans with all their weapons and gear in another.

Then suddenly....

Skinny Pete and Badger show up, and Badger launches into an epic tale of Star Trek, Smurfs and lost cities of atlantis, effectively throwing everybody into a hypnotic stupor...

Then everybody wakes up in bed with Bob Newhart.

Badger's best line: "Darth Vader had responsibilities. He was responsible for the Death Star." Lol!

This and the post below it are the more likely outcomes, but I still hope, given the creativity of the show, that they do something better and less predictable than that. If Jesse kills WW in a "Luke I am your father" type cliche' confrontation, then I'll probably swear off tv entirely for awhile LOL.

Remember when they were watching the end of Scarface, and they all recited the famous line together? I wonder if when Walt pulls out the M-60, he will say, "Say hello to my little friend."

Walt said about Grey Matter, " I sold my life's work for a few months of rent," That's exactly what he would be doing by staying in the cabin until he dies. The question to me is, is his life's work the money, or the blue meth? The money seems useless at this point to Walt, if his family won't or can't take it. I think he wants to kill the nazis for stealing his empire, not his money.

I really hate the Walt Jr character, he's a whiny disobedient little b!tch.

With all the focus on Lydia's tea, and Todd drinking tea now too, the ricin seems bound for one or both of them. I don't think it will happen, but it would be hilarious to see Walt or Jesse spike a big batch of meth with a mega-dose of ricin and kill thousands of meth users, therefore stamping out drug abuse in the Southwest just like Gretchen & Eliot.

Walt has no experience firing a machine gun, going up against paramilitary militia types. Not sure how that is going to work out

I bet they fudge quit a bit on realism regarding the M-60. Rambo might shoot one by himself, but not a cancer patient. In the actual Army Infantry, the 60 is a crew-served weapon with three guys assigned to it. It's heavy, and all the ammo you have to carry with you is even heavier.

I think Walter is going to take the ricin himself before he goes on his final mission---killing Todd, Jack, and crew. His mission will not go as planned. Jesse will live I predict, and take care of little Brock. Skyler will be indicted on charges of being an accomplice to Walt. Junior will have one final moment with his dad somewhere in there.

I really agree with this. You articulated a lot of my misgivings about this season.

There were a lot of things that just didn't add up: The aftermath of Hank's death and the most recent episode were silly. When did the media suddenly have knowledge that Walter White was the meth king? Why did the thug militia NOT take 80 million in cash and run? The just killed 2 DEA agents!!! Why the hell would Walt and Saul be in the same room before their "disappearance"? And why did Saul suddenly want to disappear? The diabolical Walter White has kind of turned into a desperate man who is making mistake after mistake after mistake. Not sure if this is intentional from the producers or not. Lots of holes in this season. Something tells me they wont tie everything up in the end either. Series finales are (almost) always disappointing. The Sopranos, Seinfeld, X-Files...

The one thing I haven't considered is Lydia...not sure what will happen to her.

The nazi gang is set for life yet we are to believe Todd will put it all at risk because he wants to bang Lydia. The power of pus$y strikes again.

Colossus your story prediction sounds good, I would bet on most of it being right
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.
