Todd is "Breaking Bad"'s Poochie? Say it ain't so!

some good guesses and story lines
You might be right, but, barring any reconciliation between Hank and Jesse there isn’t much left to do in three episodes. I think we are supposed to believe Jesse is a basically good but highly confused person (he isn’t, really, but that’s another discussion.) Absent a better resolution than Jesse being a rat, and Walt dying in a shootout I think the ending is going to disappoint.
I think it makes its way into one of Lydia’s teas.
I just don’t see Walt doing it to himself. It’s too beneath the great Heisenberg to go out like that. It’s wimpy. I just don’t see him doing that to himself. He wants to kick the cancer’s ass still. Even if his whole family is gone I still think he doesn’t want to die wimpy.
It probably can bear minute scrutiny ... if it’s better than this analysis. Todd is a minor character and this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy over the top. Todd’s an ordinary sociopath and not even interesting.
no i think the plane WAS a 737 crashing into a private smaller plane. it wasn’t the flight number.
yeah, i think your number is about right, i knew it was around there so i just rounded to 750k...
I thought Walt was going to make another death call and we would see Todd and the Toddoloids busting into Hank’s house when Hank was on the horn with Marie.

Jesse’s character has/is still remaining as mainly a self-centered, what about me, poor me, can’t handle stuff and others are left to do the hard stuff while he falls apart, kind of character. He’s not a great guy either. He runs primarily on feelings and revenge.
Walt may die in a shootout, just not this current one.
I don’t necessarily think it’s wimpy. If he loses everything; his family, Jesse, the money, the empire, the cook formula, his reputation - everything he ever took pride in - and has literally nothing else left to live for, it’s his last resort.
His motivation was initially his family, then it morphed into his own pride. Take those away, he’s got nothing; and doesn’t want to let cancer take the last vestige of pride he has left.
He’s adamant about not killing family. to the point he surrendered to Hank rather than try to get in a shootout with him personally, and called off Todd’s crew from coming.
remember in the first episode he tried shooting himself in the head but the safety was on?
that revolver doesn’t have a safety. it’s a hell of a lot faster and less painless than the ricin.
which just made me think, he taped a confession on jesse’s camera before trying that.
I wonder if Jesse left that recording in Hank and Marie’s house. when he said he had to use the bathroom.
No You Quit watching that VILE show!
True...but he doesn’t respect the firearm...he respects the chemistry. The ricin is his own creation, originally made to take out his main adversary...with no one else left, his only adversary is himself. It’d be poetic.
Ok...that might be ridiculous.
But maybe not.
that’s a weird take
I think Todd is one of the scariest guys on the show- a complete sociopath. Willing to do anything without any remorse
I think Lydia is in trouble from him. The way he had his hand on her arm- she didn’t seem to like it and got out of there fast
I can see what you’re saying.
Bottom line, I think it’s too predictable. I think Walt offing himself after all this is too predictable, and I don’t think it would be “satisfying”. Not to me personally.
Not ironic enough.
Do you remember when they were talking about howto kill Jesse? Bullet to the back of the head, never see it coming? I think that may be an indicator.
ok who is Holly?
did I miss something?
What would be real interesting is if somehow he survives all this, gets back to the money, digs it out, and while working to get the last barrel out, it falls on top of him and he can’t get it off him. Remember he’d be wiped out from the six already taken out of the hole.
Holly is Walt’s baby daughter.
