but agree with schlump - doesn't need to be a perfect parallel to resonate

The thought of Brock coming down and finding his mother dead on the doorstep is pretty horrible.

Starting to think the ricin cigarette is for Lydia, they made a point of showing she takes sweetener in her tea in the last episode.

Sounds about right.

I reckon he may've gone and grabbed the ricin with no specific use in mind for it though. Never know when a phial of ricin might come in handy.

Lydia: What are you going to do, kill me?
Walt: No (takes a sip of tea). You're already dead.

Walt: Antidote.
Lydia: To what?
Walt: [matter-of-factly] The poison you just drank.
[laughs aloud]

Hahaha

I also suspect that Todd is going to be all "Hey Mr White" and let him drive right into the compound.

maybe one day holly, brock and lydia's kid will all get together and have a big laugh about it all

and then have a mexican standoff as full grown adults should

re: gale's headwound, not to be all CSI about it or anything but bullets often make little holes going in and big ones coming out

yeah not to put too fine a point on it but bullet-to-front-of-head and bullet-to-back-of-head seems pretty straightforward "shoe is on the other foot now" to me

there's about a gazillion ways they could've killed andrea, answering a nighttime knock on yr door and getting popped out of the blue without provocation is similar enough for a show that obv trades in patterns and mirroring (e.g. walt absorbing his victim's traits).

granted gale was involved in a criminal enterprise but his childlike naivete made him at least appear to be an innocent among the rest of the underworldlings... this convo actually reminding me how disturbing gale's death was at the time, in part because two souls were lost in the transaction - gale physically and jesse morally. that's its own form of doubling, and it just occurred to me that andrea's death also has two victims, herself and brock. I guess we should count jesse as victim there but I kinda feel like the guy died inside a long time ago and is just a shambling shell at this point. or maybe he is we in this context - the helpless watcher(s) left behind to make sense of an irreversible violence. hall of mirrors.

the gale/andrea situations aren't perfect mirror images of each other - if they were it would be facile and not very interesting to contemplate imo - but the echoes call attention to jesse's killing of gale, an event that even at the time felt to me like a pivot point on which this whole sad story would turn, or maybe just the moment which came closest to reaching a dostoevskian level of engagement with the material. the whole series is almost a nonstop exercise in finding out how much innocence its players can lose, no matter where they fall on a moral continuum.

stevia ricin is an interesting red herring

I know right

this show has made me so sensitive to false telegraphing

By the way, who the fuck has milk with camomile?

what motivation does walt have for killing Lydia idgi

if he talks to Skylar he'll have motivation

I'm thinking the ricin will be used either for walt, or not at all, and I'm leaning towards the latter. that includes any uncle tio type slapstick like walt poisoning lydia at the same time todd busts in to propose marriage, knocking over her teamug in the process, the clumsy oaf

xxp she's still profiting off of his product

Lydia has told Todd that just scaring Skylar isn't good enough (xposts)

though i don't imagine skylar knows that quite yet

Lydia has told Todd that just scaring Skylar isn't good enough

this makes more sense, but Walt doesn't know this...? I guess he could find out that the nazis threatened his family and then tie that back to Lydia but I dunno how he would find that out, since he can't talk to his family

and yeah Skylord doesn't know Lydia's role

(xpost) yeah but Todd waved a big red flag of who was behind the scare, the instructions to Skylar were "don't talk about that lady who came to the car wash or we'll be back"

Lydia wants Skyler dead. Walt is in NH. It's looking bad for Skyler. As if Walt needed more motive to dead-man-walking take out a bunch of motherfuckers in rage ...

Anyway, Skyler's life is essentially over.

I keep wondering - how much can possibly happen in the last eps, once walt shows up in NM w/ his big f'kn gun his time is pretty limited... then I remember the last two eps of S3 which were so compressed and tightly plotwound, spiderpiggin their way out of painted corners is these writers' raison d'etre

saying "man how will walt get out of xyz situation" or "how will he find out about such and such" seems pointless at this juncture, they've satisfactorily uncliffhangered shit before and they'll do it again

how many weeks ago were we all wondering how the hell the white homestead was going to survive jesse's gascan ragemode?

Guys.

I already know how this show is going to end.

It's already on the Internet.

Walt sits alone in a jail cell.

As the camera pulls back, he takes the ricin from inside his toothpaste.

He swallows it. The scene then fades into this:

walt/jesse are imprisoned together and resolve their differences during a 15 year stint

final scene

It was obvious in the context of the scene that Gale knew this explanation was bullshit.

i dont think so, gale was shown to be pretty naive what with his libertarian philosophy and everything - i dont think he realized he was in such a deadly business, dont think wouldve been involved if he realized how dangerous it was

plus if he thought he was dealing with such dangerous ppl as a libertarian he would've been required to pack heat

humans are amazing creatures

fuck that "joke"

What if horse_ebooks goes into witness protection and it's the prequel to Malcolm in the Middle?
