I found myself rooting for Walt, these past years, but oddly enough I’m now rooting for his brother-in-law to catch him in the end, which I realize is far to easy of an ending, considering these bright folks writing this...
I’m sure the end will have plenty of twists.
Maybe he lives out the rest of his days lonely and broke.
Broke because the coordinates to his stash was made into lottery tickets, which he hung up in his house, maybe they get burned up when (and if) Jesse torches the place.
Just a theory! :)
no, because when he goes into the house he opens his trunk to get something and we see the guns
So he goes to his house AFTER the breakfast at the diner
No, because he pulls up in the car he bought (with the gun in the trunk) at the Denny’s. Definitely the chronological sequence is go to Denny’s “celebrate” his birthday, buy car with guns, go to old home, retrieve ricin.
Thanks. Didn’t Jesse suspect that Gus is the one who poisoned Brock at first, and that’s why he went along with Walt’s plan? Or am I not recalling that correctly, which is completely possible.

I think Mmichaels has it right. I forgot that was during the Gus luring Jesse section, not during one of the Jesse whacked out on drugs section.
The shocking thing about this story is that there are very few characters that should get any sympathy but it is still very engrossing.
Hank is screwed no matter what, even if Walt just dies in half a year he doesn’t know if something will come out about it years afterword to ruin his career and life. That would be rough to go to work at the DEA every day knowing that.

Now the dimensions Each bill is 2.61" (.2175 ft) width X 6.14" (.511 ft)length X .0043" (.00035 ft.) thickness. That means each bill consumes .00000398 cuft.
Now the stack. I noticed that they are using 4 pallets as a square. Since each pallet is 4' X 4', and about 4' tall, this estimates the stack of cash to be about 256 cubic feet.
Divide 256 cubic feet by .00000398 cubic feet per bill means that there are 64,321,608 individual bills.
Now using the 40/20/40 assumption........ 25,728,643 $20 bills equals $514,572,860. 12,864,321 $50 bills equals $643,216,080. 25,728,643 $100 bills $2,572,964,300. Grand total...... $3,730,753,240. Saul better get busy trying to laundry 3.7 billion dollars.
Now some adjustments though..... Air space between bills is obviously going to make this number smaller, but I'd guess Heisenbergs got easily 1 or 2 billion in that stack if the denomination ratios are close.
Another possibility is Walt sitting on sacks of money all alone on a remote island watching the sunset. The Midas Touch, everything he has touch has brought misery to the people he loves. When you deal with the Devil, well.....
Not to belabor the point but that is not what I said. Spousal privilege can be invoked by either one to also STOP the other spouse from testifying about privileged conversation between the two. Just like it takes two people to be married it takes both people to release spousal privilege.
I think the confusion here stems from the fact that there are actually two different "spousal privileges." There is a spousal communications privilege, which states that neither spouse can testify regarding marital communications between husband and wife without the consent of the other, subject to certain exceptions. There is also a spousal testimonial privilege, which would prevent one spouse from being compelled to testify against the other; in most states, this privilege does not prevent a person from voluntarily testifying against their spouse
So (in most states, at least), a wife can voluntarily testify against her husband, but cannot necessarily testify about confidential marital communications.
Also remember that the next door neighbor is giving Walt the stink-eye in that first episode (509?). In the next episode they show her talking to Walt and she’s very nice to him, so somehow between then and “now” when Walt comes back to get the ricin, the negative information about Walt has made its way into the community, at least enough for the next door neighbor to know about it.
I got a feeling Hank will work out some way to blame Lydia, who will die in the process so she cannot name Walt.
That gets Hank off the hook, but somehow Walt still ends up alone
I hadn’t been watching the show very seriously, but my husband had. It was the last episode of season 4 that got me hooked.
I made DH rent all the back seasons and we watched one or two an evening before season 5 started last summer.
The series is just so well written and the characters are so deep. I finally got the teddybear without the eye in the pool at the end of season 2 as a foreshadowing of what happened to Gus at the end of season 4.
I really want to watch the whole thing from episode 1 all over again when this season ends just to see what I missed.
The next door neighbor probably also noticed the house next door being fenced off
I think you are all missing it. Jesse will kill Walt in the end. A while back Jesse gave Walt an expensive watch, which I believe has a tracking device in it. Nothing is shown without a reason on this show, why he gave him the watch was never really explained. Jesse will kill Walt and probably start the whole process over again. Gus > Walt > Jesse
That would leave a new show possible......
