Apparently Saul Goodman went on to some success as a lounge singer named Ferlin Husky, singing sad songs about broken dreams. Figures.

Breaking Bad discussion here Last week was episode 511
I see that as just being smart business people. Any company that faces the question “so it turns out one of your founding members is one of the world’s most successful meth makers” is going to be distancing themselves. If new evidence comes up saying Steve Jobs was a massive drug maker the current CEO’s answer will be as close to “never heard of him” as he can get away with.
Of course we all know about Walt’s ego, it won’t allow him to understand why they’d distance themselves from him. He thinks they should take pride in having an ex-founder that made some of the purest meth the world has ever seen. He thinks they should say that’s just the commitment to excellence Gray Matter has always been about.
Remember Walt jostled Jesse which made Jane turn over. Yeah Jesse gets some blame for getting her back into drugs, but the 5 minutes that immediately caused her demise was all Walt.
I think Walt goes to Grey Matter and forces the two to some confession from them stating they stole his idea and that his family is entitled to some of their fortune which makes it legit for them to survive. He then finds Jesse and eliminates Todd and uncle Jack’s gang and releases Jesse with all the money. He fades into the sunset, us knowing or not knowing if he was going to die from cancer.
BTTT
It was very clever. Being presumably normal, you thought Jack was getting angry at Todd over the killing, then they cut immediately to a scene of Jack with his gun in hand and Todd pleading "No, you have to understand!" so you think he's furious at Todd.
But he's not! He's furious at Jesse for being such a rat and he wants to kill him right that second. Todd wants to keep him alive so he can continue to impress Lydia with his quality meth.
Just further evidence that the darkest crew on the show are really really dark. Todd even smiled when Jesse recounted the story.
They were just there to reiterate the obvious, that Walter White is gone. There is only Heisenberg left. And Heisenberg is going to kill a bunch of Aryans.
I'm betting the 60 million gets blown up. The other ten million in the cabin is going to get scooped up by Jackie Brown's bail bondsman boyfriend.
“He fades into the sunset, us knowing or not knowing if he was going to die from cancer.”
Nah, he doesn’t walk away from this show alive, that I’m pretty sure of. The show is written as a tragedy, so he’s got to go down in the end.
Besides, even if you could identify with him at the beginning of the show, after all he has done, who would want Walt to get away with it? He’s too far gone to root for.

Cool duds he has on!!!
” Walt getting in that mini-van with his barrell of millions. Off to a new identity. Riding off into the sunset in that beautiful New Mexico desert. Cue closing theme music—”
The music they DID play for that segment was awesome IMHO.

As in real, every day life, everyone has a weakness. Some are just better at keeping it in the background more so than others.
Sure. But with Breaking Bad, every major character endures stressors, and it’s those stressors - of varying degree varying by person - that shows the weaknesses of the person when under strain. Everyone keeps their weaknesses in the background. It’s just that they come out more when you’re under the gun.
he goes to their HOUSE and gets a personal confession from gretchen and elliot forcing them to take the ricin.
then goes to clean up jack and crew. in the chaos jesse gets todd, is armed and may take out another in their lab, and then after walt gets the rest, they take each other out.
there is no sunset to ride off to in this one. Remember walt’s statement watching scarface - everybody dies in this one. They will. Jesse is not a great person, he doesn’t deserve to walk away either.
Maybe. but as with every character that has backstory on this show, we see they ALL have a bad side. I believe it’s a window on the schwartzes that they were not all pure as the wind-driven snow. maybe not the way walt sees them, but clearly they may have been biased looking at it and thought they didn’t do anything wrong, either.
there are no innocents in the show save Holly.
But, hey, it wasn't personal.
My prediction is that Jesse blows up the lab and Todd. They set the ground last week in the opening flashback when Walter tells Jesse not to smoke in the camper once the meth starts cooking and Jesse gives him a "Duh, I know."
ricin could now be more plausible for gretchen and elliot.

That’s what I think, too. They screwed him over on the business....he deserved at least 1/2 or minimum 1/3 of the wind-fall and that is what fed his greed for money in the drug business. He was a desperate and dying man.
The ricin takes 3 days to work and is painful so it’s for the “Grey Matter” owners. After all, they aren’t as smart as they think they are if they ingest it.
The bullets are for Uncle Jack and clan. Jesse walks away, WW dies with his family around him from cancer.
Hank’s wife goes back to Minnesota because that’s where her accent comes from. IDK
Todd is also “sorry for your loss”
Jane killed Jane. She took the drugs willingly. Walt just didn’t help when he could have saved her. Jesse doesn’t have any blame there. She was an adult who (theoretically) knew better.
Pls put me on your list. Thanks.
>>ricin could now be more plausible for gretchen and elliot.<<
Do you think the interview he saw on TV made him that mad? Mad enough to kill them? I was under the impression that scene served strictly as motivation for him to go back and get his money, thus reclaiming his Empire...not so much to exact revenge on Gretchen and Elliot for saying he wasn’t important.
