Breaking Bad: season 5 - Page 3 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Not sure how Jesse could possibly find out about either, unless he goes over Walt's house and sees the plant. Can't see a reason where Walt would just come out and tell him.

Doesn't Hank believe that Gus was Heisenberg? Though if they keep cooking then Hank might think it's a copycat cook.

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.

"Karma" is definitely a theme of the show. Gilligan has said as much.

Yeah, imo Walt is going to die or is going to be ****ing miserable by the time it ends. I could even see him committing suicide, though I'm not sure wether I'd like that.

I really like the idea of Walt getting his comeuppance not by dying, but by being left with absolutely nothing to show for his actions over the show's history. I can see him being alone, abandoned by his family and friends and hating himself but without the guts to kill himself. Perhaps even rotting away in prison.

@aaronpaul_8 The final season of Breaking Bad will in fact be a BLOOD bath.

fair enough. I still would prefer if he just gets eviler and eviler. That would be much more satisfying to me than him dying or going to jail.

I've thought this for about a year now.

The idea of that has been going back and forth on occasion since season 3. I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised at all.

There was also a point where Hanks old partner was suspected to be in cahoots (yes, I just used cahoots in a non-ironic way) with Gus or the cartel.

Could be either, but I REALLY hope it's not his old partner if it has to be someone. That guy is easily the worst actor on the show and more scenes with him is always a bad idea.

I think the least likely to die is Jesse. He's been the audience's surrogate conscience all along.

I fully expected one of Walt's family to be killed towards the end of season 4, so I'm going to stick with that and hope it's Walt jnr

+1, I would be shocked if Jesse died. And very disappointed.

I'm very interested in Gus' connections back in Chile. I think there's a decent chance we could see two separate groups gunning for Walt this season - whoever is behind Madrigal Electromotive, and Gus' family from back in Chile.

So many awesome possibilities.
