Agreed, it was all about money / providing at first. It was only as the victory's started to add up that the "Empire Business" / Grey Matter compensation became a thing.

No I don't think it really was every his goal. He did have a short term money problem, but go offered an out fairly early, but his ego just wouldn't let him take it. If he was really doing ti for his family he would have.
My Guess was that he finally got ahold of that Vacuum cleaner guy.

Who the hell is Carol? Was she some specific character back in season 1 I'm forgetting about?

No, just the neighbor. We haven't seen her before this episode.
I'd like to think there will be some kind of career punishment and detriment to the C.Vs of the writing staff on this Season of Dexter specifically.
I know they probably would shrug it off and blame other factors and that 'we dont understand', but seriously the writing FUCKING SUCKS. Dexter has already been going seven episodes this season. Breaking Bad has had one in its current run and it destroyed it in every which way.
Sorry for going slightly OT but its the final sodding season of both shows. Its not fair to flat out compare Dex to BB, but theres just no semblance Dex is going anywhere.
One look to Carol the neighbour in BB = about 15 seconds of screentime said more than last weeks Dexters 5 sodding minutes and the Harrisons lies about...a TV REMOTE????
Series 1 and 2 were trashy fun but very VERY enjoyable. 3 and 4 were B-tier but still good romps. 5 and 6 = C/D tier, 7 - C+ tier but this.......season 8....its horrifyingly going nowhere very slowly.

My guess is that there will be a shoot out. And Walt will be known for that.

The ricin is for Walt. He goes out one way or another.

She's not the same neighbor that Walt sent into his house to check if there were any murderers there?

I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't make much of a difference plotwise. Just curious if Gilligan put his mom in an episode again.

No, that was the one on the other side.
During seasons 1/2/3 I used to put them on the same tier. Mainly because I was just catching up with breaking bad.
But on hindsight? lofuckingl

I still say she will do what she's thinks is best for the kids, but if Hank spills about Walt's cancer it could complicate things.

I feel like a lot of people think this is just "Oh, so you're Hsienberg! How did I miss that?" are missing that Hank LOVES Walt. Even though they're in-laws, Hank looks at Walt like a brother. He's processing the fact that a guy he's close to is basically a monster. And Hank is a good cop, he missed ALL of this. That makes it even worse for him. That's why he said "I don't know who I'm looking at". If you noticed, Hank looked a little like he was going to cry at first in that scene. The HURT shown in his face was amazing because he's facing down someone he cares for greatly who has turned into a monster.
I'm really unsure of where they're going to go. Walt tried to appeal to him "I'm going to be dead in 6 months" because he knows Hank loves him. Even if the cancer is back, this guy has basically concealed a completely different part of himself from everyone he loves and now it's coming out. Hank looked SO hurt. More so than Skyler when she found out.

I'd say some episodes of Dexter's first season are great TV, a solid 7.5. Everything after that is mostly meh compared to BB. I did like the season 4 finale, though.

Quick reminder that the Mythbuster Breaking Bad episode is on tonight at 10pm ET on Discovery.
Saw this on the BB subreddit. If we consider that theory about Walt and the

Seasons 1 and 2 were equal to seasons 1 and 2 of breaking bad mostly. I'd still give the edge to Breaking Bad.
After that? Lololololilololol
Dexter turned into a shit show pretty quick after season 2

Random theory time: Walt taught an imperfect (or incomplete) method when he left, because his ego wouldn't let him give his recipe to just anybody.

Uhhh, considering Skyler has probably committed a long list of felonies laundering money for Walt's meth empire, I'm pretty sure she's gotta stick with Walt.

Dexter peaked at season 4 and even at its height paled in comparison to any season of BB. Now it's somewhere between a cockroach and that white stuff that accumulates at the corner of your mouth when you're really thirsty.
I think this thread is gonna hit 20k before the last few episodes. Looks like you'll be making one more BB thread, Cornballer.
I do agree for the most part, but I do have to say that Season 7 was a return to form and got pretty close to rekindling the magic.

What is the theory and proof to back it?
Did you just quote Con Air while talking about Dexter? :lol

Yup, seems like we'll need at least two threads for this season.

That was an amazing episode last night. That scene in the garage was tense as hell and both actors nailed it. I really hope Hank takes Walter down and I'd love to see Jesse be the one to go to the DEA for everything Heisenberg has done to him.
Anyone else think Walt got the ricin for himself? Shoot up whoever he bought the gun for and then take his own life? It seems odd that you'd go out of your way to retrieve some poison when you're a dude with a machine gun that has nothing to lose.

The theory is that Walt picks up habits/aspects of people he's killed.
Cuts crusts off after Crazy-8
Takes whiskey on the rocks after Mike
Drives Volvo after Gus
Jesse isn't a victim. It would be a cop out if he isn't held accountable for his actions, but Walt is.
