I think Todd will attempt to impress/help Walt at some point by cooking a batch on his own. It won't matter if he messes it up or cooks it perfectly, Walt will have reason to kill him either way.

I think Mike went out the only way he could have. If he had just been shot to death in a hail of bullets at some point, it would have been anti-climactic. He'd already been shot by the cartel and survived. He got shot once, in what looked like his stomach, not usually a fatal wound, and it looked like he ran away from Walt, but he just wanted somewhere peaceful to die. Almost like he chose that exact moment. Personally, I think his last words were some of his most badass.
I don't know. I'm starting to come around to that opinion as well. The only way to do this up right is to let Walt live his own, 'Happily Ever After.' Everyone he cares about is dead, but his empire is as powerful as ever.

The piece that ties it up with Hank. Not sure how the fuck this would happen but I have feeling it just might.
I don't really see how this could happen. Walt screws up absolutely everything he touches. I'm hoping they don't go the Scarface way and instead make it a sort of stupid, pathetic sort of death if he dies. It'd also be fun to see Hank take him away if he lives.
I'm not going to guess that far, but I'm guessing that his "uncle's prison connections" are going to come into play in relation to Mike's "nine guys". Perhaps that's where the ricin will come into play, as well, since Walt does need to deal with those guys somehow, and I don't think he's going to pick up the legacy costs.

I forgot about this. So next week will end leaving us with a massive case of blue balls and no resolution for another six months? Not looking forward to it.

Last scene is Walt sitting across a desk from a doctor in some fancy high-rise office. His attire is now more in line with the watch Jesse gave him. He's still wearing it and checks the time. The doctor opens a folder and proceeds to give Walt a perfect bill of health...his words gradually fading out. Walt's noticeably disappointed; he wanted the cancer to release him. The series ends with a minute long close-up of Walt reflecting, and realizing he'll have to live with the choices and all he's loss for a long long time. It wasn't worth it. He sits a broken man...wealthy, cancer free, but broken just the same.
You're goddamn right, "yeah".
I've had similar thoughts that Todd + DEA = beginning of the end. No idea how or when or where it will happen, just that somehow something happens with Todd and the DEA.
There's something fishy about Todd too, though I admire his willingness to uh...how Walt would say..."apply himself" in his jobs.
I think AMC offered them one 16 episode final season and Gilligan wanted to break it in half. It was on a podcast and he jokingly said it was his laziness, if I remember correctly.

Water is not wet!
"Nobody is else is going to die. We are in control" to needing the names of nine people to kill sounds like one of those comics.

Hey guys, I'm planning on making my through the first five seasons of this show after hearing endless praise and recommendations. I remember watching the first episode of the first season a year or two back and thinking it was a (pseudo) comedy (not entirely sure how this impression formed).
Are the Part 2 episodes airing next summer definitely the final couple of episodes for the show? A lot of US shows seem to call a season the final season until you hear news that it's been renewed again or whatever.

They are for sure and GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT THERE ARE SPOILERS IN HERE
100% the show is ending next year.

Nope. for 12 months.
EDIT: or make it 10 months if they start in July again.

Yeah it's done. The recent spike in popularity I do think AMC would grant Gilligan an extra episode or two if he felt he needed it to complete the story. Let's hope.

Well, probably about 10 months if you want to split hairs. I'm assuming they'll start it up again in July 2013.

So who made the decision for this to be the last season? If it was AMC, then wow.
You.. have seen Scarface, haven't you?

My understanding of the situation: AMC wanted more seasons. Gilligan wanted to end the series after one more season of 13 episodes. They compromised by going with 16 more episodes that were split into two sets of eight so AMC has the show on the air for another two years.
If you're not living in Australia or another country on the other side of the world it's more like 10 to 11 months.I forgot about this. So next week will end leaving us with a massive case of blue balls and no resolution for another six months? Not looking forward to it.

He is a little fishy plus he is now taking Jesse spot. Something is bound to happen this next episode.
I'd say ban bet, but god damn it's ALMOST A YEAR AWAY
If this is true: Fuck them business suits.

What are they gonna do in the 2nd half? Will all of it be Walt as a fugitive? I really hope we see Walt go on the run next week. I just want it to be satisfying and not a really bad cliffhanger with no resolutions. I want Hank to find out or Skylar to die something like that but NOT in the last minute of the damn episode. I want that to happen in the first 10 minutes and then the rest plays out for the next 30-40.
I really wish they had written it so each 8 episodes felt like a solid story arc. But as it's turned out, nothing is really happening in this season yet. Just business as usual with some minor problems here and there. If they had written it so two stories came to closure in each of the 8 episodes I would have been able to endure the wait a bit easier.
Only way this could be is if the next episode is either a 2 hour feature or a couple hundred camera cuts with an insane amount of crap crammed into 45 minutes.
I'm probably the only one a bit let down with this season so far in that regard, but oh well. It just doesn't feel like a final season. It's playing out as just another season with more to come.

I'd bet something. Not my ban though, I don't care enough. But a friendly wager, hell even a few dollars if I knew you.
How bout a paypal bet of 3 dollars?
They have no worthy successors to this or Mad Men, do they? DO THEY?!
Yea, after this and mad men is over, AMC got nothing. If Vince want to extends, they dont have a position to say no. :/

Fuck doing an extra episode or two.
Do a fucking movie.
Do a fucking movie.
Agreed.
I dont know what yet , but Todd is going to fuck something up somewhere down the line again , and its gonna be bad , and likely to do with that notebook.
Well see , what a shit ending , god damnit walt wtf lol
That comic is amazing too haha
I think Walt has been pathetic the entire time. He tries to become this Heisenberg character, and it's just that, a character, a form of acting complete with costume change. It's a facade he puts on to appear tougher and more in-control than he really is. Walt's basically been winging it all along and has become more destructive to himself and others over time.
Jesse leaving was hurtful to Walt's pride, his sense of routine, and his whole "empire" build-up, but as we saw this ep, he tried to overcome that very quickly, almost reflexively. He simply used another young guy as someone to mentor over and to act as basically a surrogate Jesse, and continued forward. He doesn't tend to let things stop him for long.
When it comes to Mike's death, Walt will do what he eventually always does when he's the cause of some unfortunate act: he'll rationalize it and move on. With the events surrounding Jesse, Mike, and everyone and everything else, Walt views them as temporary stumbling blocks, and his defense mechanism continuously pops in to fix the problem and he moves on. And now you're starting to see him truly crack as all of the pressure from that builds up; the fidgety, hesitant Walt you saw shoot Mike shows he's starting to crumble to some extent, and that he won't be able to keep the masquerade up for much longer.
Walt can't allow anything to stop his forward momentum in any way because he'll then actually have to consider all of the actions he's taken in the series. The guy went off the rails a long time ago and that train is about to crash hard.

The notebook will just prove that Hesinberg is still cooking again. The big thing is if Todd gets caught doing something big. Just because Hank will be following his actual job and with that finding out about Walt. Just glad Jesse is out of this for now.
All that is moot now that he basically passed up $5,000,000, because he's a dumbass.
Yes, a lot of what Walt did was to either protect himself or Jesse, but that soon turned into just himself. I don't even think Walt would give to damns if Jesse died, thanks to Walt, Jesse was the biggest tool this entire season. But it's great to finally see Jesse not swallowing his bs, and repelling his manipulation. I just couldn't believe Walt was trying to play the victim, to get Jesse to help him cook out of pity, sympathy, or sorrow. Not to mention, passing on $5,000,000 and duping Jesse out of his $5mill out of the hope that he can fool him into coming back.
But he's obviously doing it for has family right? Walt is a dipshit, five big ones would've supplied him, and his family for at least the rest of his life. College paid off for both of his kids, and so on and so on.
But no, he's just a madman now.
