Does the DEA know anything about Lydia?

Hank went to her warehouse once, and noticed she was rattled enough to be wearing mis-matched heels. Plus, another DEA office (Houston?) was tracking her facility with a bug on a barrel of methlamene, but nothing specific to Lydia. However, the odds of any of this being connected seem pretty remote.

I think Lydia might potentially play into Walt getting after the nazis... Otherwise, I don't know why he'd be concerned with her...

Unless she decided to go after Skyler anyway perhaps...

There is a lot to clear up in 1 episode. Leads me to believe it will be fast paced from the start. After the Dexter finale I have a feeling that I am going to be very happy with the outcome of this show. Personally all I want is Walt's family safe and Jesse to get whatever Jesse wants.

I'm sort of hoping for a Breaking Bad style montage of Walt killing nazi's at their homes except for Todd, Jack and Jack's kid (don't know his name). I miss the montages.

i think it means that his full transformation is NOW complete, and he's now really really really "Bad".

I like that explanation. Walt has officially broken bad.

In my opinion it definitely shows that he's fully Heisenberg now. If you listen to Gretchen on the TV she is asked if she thinks Walt is still out there. She says no, nothing is left of the kind, sweet, brilliant man we once knew, Walter White (paraphrasing). Walt was ready to just give up and let the police come and get him. Heisenberg? Not so much. He's in full Heisenberg mode now.

Yup... his family doesn't want him around. They don't really give a damn what happens to him. Now it's all about himself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but before the appearance of fresh blue meth was mentioned on TV, Walt had to presume Jesse dead, right?

Yeah, I would assume that prior to that, he thought he was dead.

Yes but he also taught Todd how to make it. I don't think the possibility of Jesse still being alive means anything to Walt at the moment. Maybe when he sees him face to face something changes but with Heisenberg already having lost everything I don't think Jesse being alive makes a difference to him. He knows Jesse wouldn't be cooking out of spite or for fame.

I don't see how Walt doesn't end up dead. Beyond revenge, has nothing to live for at this point.

Gretchen was right; Walt is gone. Heisenberg is all that's left. Fully agree. :thumb:

Isn't that exactly what Gretchen said? Walt IS dead. Walt is the one that had cancer. Once he 'became' Heisenberg, he went into remission, right? Then, when he tried to become Walter White again, the cancer came back. Heisenberg lives for one thing; his Empire. Walter White loses his money, and Heisenberg takes it back.

Not sure if I'm reading too deep, but according to Vince Gilligan, its all significant.

I don't see how the character(s) portrayed by Bryan Cranston doesn't end up dead. Beyond revenge, has nothing to live for at this point.

I know that there is probably no way in hell that this happens, but I would like to see Walt have one last kinda-happy, semi-peaceful moment with his family.

Walt ordered them to kill Jesse and Walt even said his last words to him (about Jane) expect the Nazi's to kill Jesse. So since it is blue meth reappearing, I guess Walt assumes Jesse is still alive. (Walt showed Todd the cook so we don't know why Todd doesn't/can't produce the blue meth)

This is what I would like to see: I think Walt will show up at the Nazi HDQ with the M60 to take them out. It will end with Walt, Jesse, and Todd in their lab. Maybe Walt will help Jesse sabotage the cook and chain Todd to the dog run. Jesse will look at Todd and say, "Nothing personal, *****" (we need one more "*****" from Jesse in the last episode!) and then escape with Walt and the lab explodes. Or maybe work in Lydia in there and have Jesse take her out as revenge for what Todd did to Andrea (also a way to symbolize that no more meth cooking and distribution at the hands of Jesse and that meth has caused him so much troubles). But I think the ricin is for her.

Oh man, if Jesse said Nothing personal, ***** and then killed Todd... That would be amazing.

Jesse didn't hear the "nothing personal" so, no matter how awesome it would be, it wouldn't really make sense.
