due to brock's lack of a father figure he had never been told not to take candy from strangers.

walt is not a stranger

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 19:36 (twelve years ago)

otoh he is a kind of creepy old guy

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 19:36 (twelve years ago)

i think the loose ends are dramatically pretty powerful, though; there is speculation over whether Walt's hubris will be his undoing, & the debate over whether each untied strand is a macguffin or a Chekhovian pistol is part of the kinda wider universe of the show. there is that big reveal, in Alexander Payne's Election, of how Matthew Broderick wronged the janitor, & all of these strands exist doubly as things that are convincingly left unexplained, or else potential nooses later on, whether some fault in Walt's method poisoning Brock sowed the seeds of his downfall

Now I'm thinking that Walt and Jessie get away while Hank and Gomie die. The DEA find out about Walt from Marie and Jesse's tape, but they're more interested in taking down the Nazi gang that just killed two of their agents than in prosecuting Heisenberg, since doing so will tarnish Hank's fallen hero image. So Walt agrees to testify and goes into witness protection, but 6 months later Walt comes back to NM either to retrieve his money or to stop the Nazis from killing Jesse or Marie.

ow I'm thinking that Walt and Jessie get away while Hank and Gomie die

this is kinda what I'm guessing too

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 19:53 (twelve years ago)

not sure about the rest of that tho

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 19:53 (twelve years ago)

ya me too

didn't say i was right, just connecting dots

President Keyes, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 19:58 (twelve years ago)

Definitely seems plausible.

or to stop the Nazis from killing Jesse or Marie.

This makes no sense to me

ok the Nazis want to kill Walt, who is in hiding or Witness Protection with Sklarboro and kids, so they draw him out by kidnapping or threatening someone they can get at--Jesse or Marie.

President Keyes, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:06 (twelve years ago)

guys we already know he came back for the cig

da croupier, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:08 (twelve years ago)

walt smokes ricin cig, shoots himself in the face w giant gun 50 times, roll credits

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:09 (twelve years ago)

show's totally going to end with someone smoking the ricin cig to that "light 'em up, up, up" Fall Out Boy jam. Calling it.

da croupier, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:13 (twelve years ago)

Nazis kidnap Hank 'n' Gomie, take them to new concentration camp for cops in NM desert.

first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:13 (twelve years ago)

Read something I wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning, or if it's a spoiler, so SPOILER MAYBE

but I'm not sure that the ricin cig is going to be a big deal. Gilligan suggested that they wanted the season to start with that scene in the house but didn't have a good enough reason to get him to come back to the house. Just sightseeing didn't seem important enough, so they came up with the idea that he had a reason to go back. Not saying they didn't end up using that in some plot developments yet to come, but since everyone's making a big deal over how the season started with him recovering the sig, it's worth noting the scene wasn't originally written that way.

dan selzer, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:17 (twelve years ago)

Hank and Gomie die, Jesse and Walt wander the desert, the stumble on US Army training site for troops about to go into Syria. Jesse: "Where are we?" Walt turns to Jesse: "America."

Ends with Hendrix "Star Spangled Banner." Flash forward to the future. Cylons become sentient, cook meth for human slaves.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:19 (twelve years ago)

would say this is prob a horrible idea but odenkirk is like my fav actor so i give it my tacit approval http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/breaking-bad-spin-moving-forward-627406

Gus Fring, Jr is going to come and avenge his dad

Neanderthal, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:21 (twelve years ago)

oh that link is old xp but anyway looks like we are all soon going to be CALLING SAUL

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:22 (twelve years ago)

will love it if the next episode features everyone else dead and Walt and Jesse just wandering around in the desert a la Ruben and Ed

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:33 (twelve years ago)

inspired to seek out the meaning of "Low Winter Sun" by that Saul article and found this

http://variety.com/2013/tv/news/amcs-low-winter-sun-open-to-interpretation-1200568478/

I would have assumed "REM Song Title Generator"

da croupier, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:36 (twelve years ago)

walt and jesse live
hank and gomie die
nazis make walt and jesse meth cook slaves
walt and jesse forced to work together to escape nazis using science
walt and jesse kill some nazis; jesse vs. walt battle resumes
marie tells DEA everything
DEA + Nazis out to get walt and jesse
Walt and Jesse out to get each other
marie tells walt jr about walt being heisenberg
walt rejected by skyler and walt jr
walt uses saul's new identity guy to go into hiding in New Hampshire
walt returns to save family or jesse or both from two imminent threats - one he needs a big gun for (Nazis), one he needs ricin for (Lydia?)

brio, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:44 (twelve years ago)

still think jesse is going to do something decisive in the gun battle

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:46 (twelve years ago)

yeah - agree, there does have to be some twist, they can't just pick up and let the scene play out exactly as it looks like it's going to - and jesse is the only one in a position to do anything

brio, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:49 (twelve years ago)

he even started doing it at the end of the ep

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:49 (twelve years ago)

walt and jesse live
hank and gomie die

Read this to the tune of "Ball of Confusion."

punt cased (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:50 (twelve years ago)

Except you're not even safe on an Indian Reservation

da croupier, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:50 (twelve years ago)

run run run but you sure can't hide

brio, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:51 (twelve years ago)

also thought there was going to be a competition of résumés

@twitizensforlemonlipbalm (schlump), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:51 (twelve years ago)

i kind of think if hank or gomie were gonna get shot then it would've been as soon as they opened fire when they were out in the open. just cos that would've been more impactful and it's stupid otherwise.
jesse to save the day

cerealbar, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 20:59 (twelve years ago)

Walt might do something. Maybe he'll hold a gun to his own head and tell them to stop? Or something?

polyphonic, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:01 (twelve years ago)

Walt got guns to his head
I think he goin down

Neanderthal, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:01 (twelve years ago)

actually the fact the Nazis are pumping the car Walt is in full of holes suggests they haven't really thought this through

brio, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:09 (twelve years ago)

its been established that they dont have the greatest attention to detail

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:10 (twelve years ago)

Agree it would be the kind of twist BB excels in, and just more fun story-telling, if Jesse to pulls something ingenious off and save at least somebody - but what could he do that would be plausible? I wish I could remember more clearly where everyone was in the shootout.

brio, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:16 (twelve years ago)

the car and walts dropped gun seem like the most likely weapons

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:17 (twelve years ago)

like when they killed 12 guys within 5 minutes?

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:18 (twelve years ago)

walt shoots todd and 2 nazis. hank and gomie dead. jesse thanks walt for saving his life, offers walt a cigarette. walt accepts. ricin. jesse and b-grade nazis join forces, cook meth and have big dubstep parties til series ends. opening episode is never explained.

like when they left blood on their clothes from killing a bunch of guys, talked loudly in public abt crimes and couldnt make the meth blue

lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:21 (twelve years ago)

Just remembered that bit of dialogue in the diner toilets where 2nd nazi talks about beating up kids who wear ppe on bikes "for their own good".

Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:21 (twelve years ago)

Looks like Jesse is going to back over Hank and Gomie at high speed and drag them under the car to safety and they shoot the Nazis' tires out while clinging to the undercarriage. Mystery solved.

brio, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:25 (twelve years ago)

also like the idea of aero's prediction playing out over the whole three final episodes. walt dies in first five minutes of next episode, remainder of season devoted to really elaborate big dubstep party subplot

brio, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:29 (twelve years ago)

Exciting that Damon Lindelof is at the helm for the final two episodes.

Evil Juice Box Man (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:30 (twelve years ago)

ends with the Nazis and Jesse giving away all the money at Burning Man as performance art

brio, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:34 (twelve years ago)

And Jesse makes a decision now. He can either cry or
COWBOY THE FUCK UP. He goes with the latter.

Number None, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 21:42 (twelve years ago)

guys i think the ricin and the cigarette parted a while ago. i mean its in a capsule. probably gonna notice that.

not feeling the nazi slave angle at all.
