My guess is that Walt ends up killing Hank before this series ends. That will be the final act that transitions him to full evil.

I hope they go that route. It makes sense with his arc but would be fairly unexpected

*Walt and Jesse relationship will fall apart forver in a giant fight, setting up for Walt vs Jesse.
*Hank will have a solid connection putting either Walt or Jesse as Gus his former cooks.

Also-

-Mike will be back and work for Walt.

Don't think Gus's empire had much left. Cartel is pretty much goners too. Mike will have to be used to secure distribution through another cartel or various connections he has. Jesse will try to go clean but get pulled back in somehow. Cliffhanger is most definitely Hank having an a-ha moment about Walt.

I think that makes sense, especially as the season is divided into 8+8 episodes (or was it 7+7? I forget). So this as a cliffhanger for the first break.

I have this fear that they are going to use Marie to help Hank tie together the final pieces, like she stumbles upon Walt's meth lab or something, IDK (I know, BB likely wouldn't have such a simple plot line, but it could be something smaller). Whenever they've felt like they had to give Marie/Skylar screen time it has been when the show is the weakest.

Watching reruns last night made me giddy.

This (sort of) already happened, though. Unless you're saying the a-ha moment is him fully realizing what Walt is doing, I doubt that's going to be our cliffhanger.

I'm thinking that rather than an "a-ha!" moment, it will be something like Hank putting Walt's picture underneath "Heisenberg" in the organized crime chart of Walt's criminal empire.

Not really. He has hints but it hasn't been clear at all that he has figured it out. After all, Walt is this pussy science teacher, he just can't get past that in his head.

I think that would kind of cool, as long as it's set up very cleverly. They have to a step past when Hank had the talk with his former officers and slapped the fingerprint down on 'em.

An awesome ending would be Walt getting caught, going to prison and being forced to teach GED courses.

I'm re-watching the show again with a friend who has never seen it. We just finished the third episode, which is where Walt kills Krazy-8. I had forgotten how absolutely perfect that entire scene is: the "setup dialogue" that humanizes Krazy-8, the plate discovery, how emotional it is when Walt kills him, and just the incredible acting done by Cranston throughout the entire thing. It's all perfect.

At the end of the episode, my friend says, "It's good...but there's a lot of dialogue." Moral of the story: don't watch this show with dumb people. They simply do not deserve (or understand) the pleasure of watching it.

So, so excited.

Major prediction for this season is that Walt dies at the end. I'm thinking possibly Hank kills him without really knowing that it's him, and then he works the whole thing out just as Walt dies. Either that or Walt's cancer comes back and Hank finds out as he's dying of cancer.

I think it's very, very unlikely that Jesse will die or any major harm will come to him in the end - I think his relationship with Walt will be tested again once he finds out about Brock and Jane but I doubt one of them kills the other. I think Jesse ends up redeemed while Walt descends into complete moral decay.

Out of Hank, Jesse and Walt, Jesse seems the least safe.

2) Mike was pretty disgusted with how business was being handled since the end of Season 3. And it was basicly all because of Walt, not too sure how happy he would be with him being his new boss.

All I hope is that at least one of them dies. Pretty likely though

Mike is super pragmatic. I don't see him one conducting revenge just to conduct revenge. His livelihood is gone, he trusts Jesse, and Jesse trusts Walt. This will be the link. Mike goes with the flow big time. Walt cuts him into the profits better than he was before, and he's in good shape. From the sounds of it, Mike was never that well paid and just sort of got by. I think his loyalty to Gus was more out of necessity than it was out of emotion.

Haven't been this excited about a new season of a TV show in my life. Predictions:

- Walt and Jesse resume production, with Walt using the notoriety of Heisenberg to become the new kingpin. Mike will probably become their enforcer.
- There's a super-boss behind Madrigal Electromotive, who may even have outranked Gus. He provides the main criminal competition. Then the cartel also get involved, as there's no way their entire operation was wiped out.
- Hank's mission to unmask Heisenberg is an obvious plotline, and the first semi-season could well end with a Eureka moment for him. This would leave the inevitable showdown between Walt and Hank for the grand finale.

None of this is particularly controversial, so how about a wild card prediction: Hank's boss (the tall guy with the moustache) was secretly working for/with Gus?

July 15 can't come quickly enough!

I really hope Walt lives.. not because "omg I don't want the main character to die!", but because the anti-hero always has this punishing or redeeming downfall, a la Blow. Either he dies, and the writers are like, "see audience, karma." or they redeem themselves so we can saw "aww, see anyone can be good." Neither of those are the point of this show though. Or at least I hope they aren't. The point of this show as I see it is how downright evil people can become, or maybe as some have argued that the show is pointing out that we all have that latent evilness inside ourselves. To carry this theme, I'm pretty sure Walt has to live, and not only live, but ruin or corrupt everyone around himself.

btw, the leveling regarding Ted's death was ****ing awesome. Well played OOTV.
