I thought it was:

Cuts crusts off after Crazy-8
Takes Whiskey on the Rock after Mike
Drives a Volvo (same car as Gus) after Gus

And there was some other things too.

But basically, everyone thinks Skyler will be killed too, since he started doing the bacon on his food. And I assume this theory is saying since he's wearing Jesse's jacket, he's dead too.

Jesse isn't a victim. It would be a cop out if he isn't held accountable for his actions, but Walt is.

No doubt. Jesse is so consumed with guilt right now that I'm sure he'd take the prison sentence to make sure Walt doesn't kill anyone else. Of course if Jesse goes to prison he won't get to hear how Badger's Star Trek script ends.

I feel like, Walt not caring that his neighbor saw him and acknowledging her - means he doesn't expect to live past that day. Because we know he's famous (hence why the neighbor was scared, and why his house has become infamous to Heisenberg). So the fact that he knows the cops will be tipped off via Carol, and he doesn't care -tells me that he expects to either die, or go to jail that very day (given that big ass gun and the ricen, I would guess it's death).

Whiskey on the rocks is from Mike. Cream in his coffee is from Gale. And obviously the speculation that the bacon 'trick' in the flash forward is from Skyler.
 
Interesting theory, only really noticed the crusts one and assumed the bacon thing was just to remind him of his previous birthdays with his family, something he doesn't have any more.

Maybe Walt took the Ricin before leaving the house, giving himself two days to sort things out before he dies?

I know it's speculation, but you might want to tag that for now.

Yup, and he also tells the gun salesmen that the M60 is "never leaving the state."

My guess is the ricin is insurance in case the police catch up within before/after he handles his business.

Sure, but you will need to edit your quote. And everyone else on this page that had separate posts saying the same thing will need to spoiler tag their stuff as well. I tagged my original post thought via your request.

I already had edited my quote to make that phrase an elipsis.

Walt killed those two guys with his car, what did he pick up from them?

So, why bother showing Walt cut the crust off his sandwiches after Crazy-8 told him that's how he liked it (and when Walt initially head that, he kind of scoffs at it). Clearly the writers have shown Walt taking on behaviors of his past victims. I don't even really think that is debatable.

However, just because he has done this in the past, doesn't mean you can predict how the show will play out. Or that the current theory going around is correct. The writers might have done these little things as subtle Easter eggs, and not meant them to be anything more than that. Fans could be reaching and reading too much into the significance of Walt doing these things.
 
I would've poisoned the kid too.

Honestly don't see the problem with it. It got Jesse on-board and they got rid of Gus.

Kid didn't die, either.

Win win
 
I will die if Walt uses 'THIS ISN'T METH'-bombs in his assault on the evil antagonist's fortress. I expect no less from the finale.

Badger and Skinny Pete's nerd talk....i dont watch Star Trek :( didnt know much of what they were talking about.

The video game zombie was cool though

Yeah I felt that scene was kinda forced, maybe because I didn't know Star Trek, but it seemed really scripted and didn't feel like a real conversation.

I felt that the episode was alright overall but pretty slow. The ending of course made it awesome, but not much besides that really happened.
 
Something that just occurred to me: Should Hank really make the connection to killing Gus in the nursing home that quickly? As far as anyone else knew, that was the cartel getting rid of Fring to eliminate competition. I don't think the DEA had any reason to suspect that Heisenberg had a role in Fring's death. I think the DEA's theory was that Heisenberg was working as a cook for Fring, and only after the cartel got to Fring did he start cooking on his own again.

(I always thought the DEA seemed to discover the extent of Gus's criminal operation a little too quickly. The only evidence they had besides Hank's suspicions was the fact that he was blown up in the room of a known cartel figure, which is suspicious, sure, but I would think it would take some time to piece together why such a respected local businessman was there in the first place.)

Hank has been under the impression that Heisenberg has committed all of these crimes. The DEA still thinks he's crazy for believing that.

Walt was conspicuously missing when the rest of the family was put into protection right when all of the Fring/Salamenco business went down, Hank might not have pieced it together right when he first read Leaves of Grass but he's been going over timelines etc. for a week or so.

The lab also burnt down when Fring died, so that sort of blew the cover wide open.

Eatin' those chips...

God damn, what a phenomenal episode.

Even after a night sleeping on it, it still beat "Here Was A Man" and "20 Hours In America" for best single episode of television of all time.

I'm assuming it will end up the highest rated seaso primo, which is awesome, since it was the best ever.

Seriously though, that neighbor woman spilled oranges and anyone who's seen The Godfather trilogy should know what that means. Not that there was any doubt.
 
Great episode, so many good scenes. That recap with Hank :lol Too bad that he's going to die. It's on now, and Hank's not gonna outsmart Walt as soon as Heisenberg mode kicks in. Can't fucking wait for it.

Fair point, Walt's absence should definitely look pretty suspicious.

Right, but my thinking (and this might just be a case of the show not showing us how the other characters are working) is that it still would have taken some time to connect the nursing home explosion to the laundry fire, and to discover that Fring was the link to both (I don't think Gus technically owned the laundry; Madrigal did). Though since Hank already suspected all of that I'm guessing he pushed the agency really hard to investigate those leads.
 
Incredible first episode. The confrontation at the end was amazing. The noise of the rc car was a nice touch to up the tension.
