No

Doubt it. He and Mike seem to know each other and Mike knows who to trust. And Walt considered him a competitor. I don't think they'd be doing a 15million dollar deal with someone without a Rep in the meth world.

Skylar helps launder the money. She'd get in trouble too.

Walt's gotta die.

I don't root for Walt to get caught, but it does seem like Jessie has replaced Walt as the protagonist and Walt is a sort of antagonist. For me, I'm mostly rooting for Jessie to get out and it's Walt standing in his way.

Couldn't she cut a deal? She has the DEAs golden goose, plus she has Hank to help her.

Walt's hubris has prevented everyone from getting out of the business for a long time now (Jesse, Mike, Skylar, etc.). Outside of his intelligence/resourcefulness for problem solving, there's literally nothing redeemable left in his character. After what we've seen in these six episodes, I can't understand why anybody would root for him at this point. He's become an evil, immoral individual that makes things difficult on everyone else around him. His invitation to Jesse to stay for dinner was just a despicable way to torture both Jesse and Skylar for their perceived betrayals.

In the end, I think it's going to be Jesse, the guy who has become the moral center on this show, that has to make this realization about his partner and "friend" and it's him that will have to put a stop to him. That would be my guess at an ending to Breaking Bad.

I wonder if the Cartel is going to come back. They've been pretty silent since Mike and Jesse killed some of their guys.

Yeah, that whistling was eerie as hell.

I don't know how anyone could still like Walt.

Demonpenz · 08-21-2012, 08:50 AM

they should just bring in Don to advertise "Blue" to the mass market.. It would once in for all put Peggy in place and her dumb Virginia Slims campain. He could have a picture of him in a black Jag crushing up some blue and giving it a good ole snort with some bettie in the passenger side. After he does a good snort the car dives off and then Tom Havaford comes in and says. "Blue...Treat yoself"

I really don't think that will happen. Walt would rather die.

CoMoChief · 08-21-2012, 09:52 AM

I cant wait for the showdown between Hank and Walt.

That will be epic.

You never know, we are learning of something new about Walt every episode.

My guess is that Skyler is going to confess to Hank in order to protect the kids. And Walt's gun purchase at the beginning of season is in preparation of his stand off with Hank and the DEA.

Of course, I have no evidence to support that theory, other than there will definitely be a showdown with Hank. They can't have Hank get so close to discovering the truth over multiple seasons to not have him square off against Walt.
