Walt and Mike are really mortal enemies now. And since we know that Walt lives for at least another year, I think Mike'll be killed soon.
Nah, they'll dust the whole tarantula.

Yea I doubt that's happening, to me that scene was showing that Todd is a nut and will cause more problems in the future

it's not really heartbreaking if he loses though, I expect it. This show can't really end any other way lol. As long as the ending is glorious/.

I have a sudden craving for some Albertson's deli green beans. They make them with sliced almonds and it tastes just like homemade.

Damn someone on reddit posted this painting of Walt. So awesome. Gonna quote it for size.
That video is awesome.
Breaking Bad has a really awesome community of fans I must say, I'm sure the communities for other excellent shows were also excellent, but with videos like that it's been pretty fun to keep following Breaking Bad week to week.

In Minnesota they often do drives to have children's prints registered.
I distinctly remember waiting in line at a local grocery store with my parents as a young child so that a sheriff could take my prints.
Its obviously not the sort of thing that is universal but it definitely happens.
There goes my chance to be a super criminal

This is getting weirder all the time
What's this about Walt's watch? Isn't it in his pocket?
They've only used it twice really (proving Lydia lied, making sure the DEA was off Mike's tail for a while. Mike checked it one other time that we saw beyond that and it was like a 20 second shot) and I don't see how it's lazy. It's convenient for Walt, but that doesn't mean it's lazy storytelling. Hell, it's amazing he's gone this far without actively monitoring Hank. A kingpin with a brother-in-law in the DEA deciding to bug him isn't exactly a big leap to make.

OK, maybe I missed something, or maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't get why everyone is saying "Hank will notice the watch!" Hank already took note of Walt's watch when Walt wore it in his office. Is it that you think he'll find it at a crime scene or in some other implicating context or something? They do seem to be making a "thing" of it...

Seriously. I thought Walt was wearing his watch? Could someone please explain the whole watch thing?
You answered your own question.
You must have missed several important details in the first cold opening of the fifth season.

When I first saw the fifth episode, I thought the tarantula was just a metaphor for being trapped in the meth game. Perhaps Todd's holding onto it means he has more control over their situation than we know yet. Just a guess.

I thought the tarantula was caught in the wrong placed in the wrong time and got "caught up" and placed into a jar.
The kid was caught at the wrong place at the wrong time, and then placed into a barrel and melted

How bitter would some of you be if the final scene of this show, Walt lives but knowing Hank would stumble onto the scene of his latest wreckage (which lets face it, there will be one), he leaves Hank a clue, like the watch. And then it all hits him and the Saw music starts playing. And then it just fades to black.

Does not have twelve inches...
Thanks, I thought they were 8 but I got misguided by a site listing only 7.
He was on medication again and seemed to be coughing a lot. If i remember correctly. It seemed to me like they were hinting at it being back. But it could be a red herring i guess.

I know many of you think Walt is going to kill Skylar, but I really don't see that happening. Wouldn't it be better for the authorities to come and arrest Skylar? Either for her involvement in the "family business" or for her role in Ted's business? Or both. Bring her in for Ted's books, then they learn about about Walt later. Walt escapes to go on the run, while Skylar suffers is left to suffer in prison, and their kids are forced to live without their parents. That's more like it. Really make everyone involved suffer for Walt's actions, not just die. While he of course, lives on and has to think about it all. Until that opening scene of course...

Walt is gonna pin the whole thing on Skyler and reveal her to be behind the whole meth thing. He'll say she forced him to give her a recipe and she made it happen. She bought the car wash as a front. The affair with ted, putting ted in the hospitable if he threatened to snitch, taking the kids away from walt, she was on a power trip. She made up that gambling story to hide her secret.

I still can't believe Walter White would reject $5 million. What exactly does he need so much money for? His ego? He has become a complete drug lord.
-Pyromaniac-

he is in it for respect. Not the money. He feels he deserves more.
Trent Strong
Banned
He doesn't even care about the money or providing for his family anymore. He just wants to be some sort of kingpin.

With all of the snooping and spying this season, maybe the watch has some kind of microphone or something in it. Maybe it will be the wildcard that puts jesse on top at the end?

Why would he stop now? He's in the best place he's been so far in the meth business. He is the boss. He's got nothing to worry about (lol).

He explained it to Jesse. It's about feeling like a dumbfuck for ditching out on Grey Matter. He's basically reliving that and doesn't want to make the same mistake, only now he's insane.
-Pyromaniac-
Member
and like he said, he has already lost just about everything else in life. So the train keeps a going.
SystemShock2

The other replies pretty much took care of this question, but yeah definitely for his ego. He's power hungry. He wants an empire where he has control, like he would have had he stuck with Grey Matter. Also he doesn't want to make the same mistake twice. He wants to be the best at his game as he can be.

I would love to see this Walter White meet Tuco. They could be best buddies.

the ultimate twist would be if Jesse was a DEA agent the entire time
last conversation:
*jesse catches walt*
Walt: ...how long have you been an agent?
Jesse: Let me ask ya somethin', Mr. White
Walt: ....?
Jesse: When did ya start thinking that I wasn't an agent? First time you saw me, I was escaping 'em. Didn't you think that was like, to easy, yo?
*fade to black*
