I don't think the flash forward will happen until well into S5 pt 2.
I doubt it. Seems like it'll just deal with the repercussions of Mike dying and cleaning up the 9 names...though maybe it'll open with some other shot heading to that point. It would be way too soon for the next half of the season to be a year ahead.
If they're really treating it as a single season then I wouldn't expect the flash forward until next year.

It's probably the series finale.

I'd bet all the change sitting on my desk it's either:
1) Skyler/Holly dying
2) Hank finding out
That flash forward looked more like end....you know...THE END of it all. I wouldn't hold your breath on it happening this year
I can't imagine what else Walt is going to do. I'm pretty sure he's going to physically abuse Skylar, get Hank killed, or do something unspeakably evil by the end. At end I'm pretty sure his 'crew', Jesse, the DEA, and others are on his ass and that M60 is his last line of defense.

Daaaaamn. Not to take anything away from what Walt did, I have to say that Mike could have prevented this if he had acted more civilly and talked things over with Walt. Pretty stupid at this point to just assume that Walt can be brushed aside like that when his interests are at stake - I'm pretty sure he already realized how unstable Walt is at this point.

I'm willing to bet the flash forward was the series finale.
Probably Hank finding out.
I feel like Skyler is going to die, but I don't think it will happen yet. I'd early-ish into next half...then again the way I see the series playing out involves nearly everybody getting killed.

R.I.P Mike. 
So I'm guessing Walt's totally going to have Todd

's uncle deal with those 9 dudes in prison, huh? Why else mention that connection?
This may be my favorite episode of the show thus far, even though I had it figured scene-for-scene: the kingpins replacing Mike, Todd replacing Jesse, and Walt offing you-know-who. Only I thought you-know-who was gonna be killed by ricin (via a toast before parting ways).
For the finale, it looks like
and according to Dean Norris, [actual spoiler]
For the finale, it looks like
Walt has Todd's prison connections kill "The Nine."Also, they've been working toward something major with Skyler,
there's a "chilling scene" involving Holly this season. We haven't heard much from Walt Jr., who seems to be set up for a car accident. Maybe he wants to get away from the Schraders and takes Holly for a ride.
So is Mike.
Dude was going to cap Lidia in the head, and leave her to be found by her daughter (Or never to be found again?)
Ya'll are being hypocritical with your moral hatred here. Mike is an enforcer with many years on the job, he's done more evil than Walt guaranteed.
R.I.P Mike.

I haven't watched tonight's episode in full, am watching the replay right now. But I sure hope that dickhead plays a bigger role than killing a kid. :\
No, he wasn't. He was going to cap her in the head and make her disappear forever, which she objected to. She had also just tried to have him killed.
I'm not saying Mike's a great guy, But the Lydia angle is not the best evidence for him being Walt-level.

Maybe, but it takes days to die from it and it's a pretty horrible way to go. Ricin is for homicidin', not for suicidin'.
Represent.

this is going to end like scarface
Walt is Tony Montana, the thugs are the cops.
Thats the series finale, and its why Walt had a massive machine gun in his trunk in the season opener. Ready to go out like a boss in a shootout, Scarface style.
Would also be epic foreshadowing from when Walt and Flynn were watching the Scarface ending earlier in season 4.

its pretty convenient todd has these amazing prison connections
but oh well im sure it will be super stylish
but oh well im sure it will be super stylish
I see him overdosing on his own product myself.
Mike was a high level enforcer for a drug kingpin. He kills people without batting an eye.
I was more bothered by the set of keys that were simply sitting on top of a roof, not strapped down to anything. Apparently there's no wind or rain in New Mexico?
That bag is his life line, you'd think it'd be secured a little more concretely...

Eh, the show's been much more "convenient" before.
Saul's entire purpose in the show is to be plot glue, basically.

If this happens I can see him even using ''S.H.T.M.L.F.''
Question is who will be assaulting Walt? I wonder if it will be:
DEA agents
Todd's connections
Gus's connections
Walt's own crew
Jesse and connections/family/bros of the
fallen 9
US Army
Space Aliens

Is it? I mean he was a member of burglary team before meeting Walt. That he has shady connects isn't too much of a stretch imo.
According to Rolling Stone, Walt returns to Albuquerque in the opener
in order to protect someone. After Walt disappears, the thugs could kidnap Jesse and put him to work to fulfill Walt's bargain (they learned tonight that Jesse is the world's second greatest meth cook.) If Walt gets word that the blue meth is back on the streets, he'll know that Jesse has been kidnapped; Jesse was adamant that he'd never cook again.
There's a difference between shady connections, and knowing people who can orchestrate 9 murders across (multiple?) prisons.

I didn't read the spoilered text but is it actual spoilers or just a theory?
starting to think that the cold open was just walt cleaning house from the snitching nine. Or todd stealing his business from him.
Both, the first few sentences are from a Rolling Stone article and tell why Walt was back in the season opener. The rest is speculation.

Guys remember when Mike died.
Reminds me of that scene from the wire.
*String yelling at his subordinate and then smacking his notebook*
Nigga you taking notes on a meeting about criminal conspiracy!??
fake edit: found the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGo5bxWy21g
If walt tried this shit in B-more let's just say those 9 names would be the least of his motherfucking problems.
