I don't know how, but I hope Jesse kills Lydia. Ohhh imagine Todd's reaction.

Todd. Todd has got to go.

The way I see it, Walt goes back to lay waste to the Brotherhood, finds Jesse a prisoner, frees him, then Jesse rids the world of Heisenberg.

Do people really think Walter is going after Grey Matter? Seems pretty clear to me that the interview was a motivator for him to do what's right, not the exact opposite.

This may be the best show on television, ever. And the theme song reprise at the end might be up there with Orpheum '94 Immortality. Yeah, I went there.

Walt kills the brotherhood, rescues Jesse, gets his money to his family, eats his breakfast at age 52, and then dies.

Good point. What's right would be to simply turn himself in. What Walt's going to do is dedicate his last waking hours to take on what he considers to be an evil greater than the Heisenberg persona, bringing him closer to some sort of personal redemption. That's my guess, anyway. It'd be out of character for him to go after Gray Matter just because they badmouthed him on TV.

okay, we're on the same page then.

what's also interesting about the gray matter interview is them mentioning starting a charity to fight drug use in walt's old neck of the woods. perhaps his personal redemption will simply be anonymously donating all his barrels of money to that cause, since he can't get it to his family (not that they even want it). his $80 million scoreboards gray matter's $28 million too, heh.

pride about his work has caused him to do irrational things before, but a shoot-em-up revenge on Grey Matter seems way too over the top.

Unless the show throws us another curve ball, I thought it was pretty obvious after episode #10 ("Buried") that Walt was going to end up confronting the Brotherhood.

Hmmmm.... so there was something that was able to drive him to go back. So, Walt will go back to kill them, possibly by tracking Todd from his meets with Lydia since they appear to be meeting in the same place she and Walt did. Jesse watches Walt die, just like Walt did to Jane, but not after hearing the location of Walt's money. Jesse get's the money from the icy cabin in New Hampshire, which BTW, looks a bit like Alaska which is where Jesse wanted the vacuum salesman to take him. Maybe with Brock as Jesse is now the 'father' after killing Walt.

Long shot: Skylar is killed based on the "you'll end up like Hank" line.

Longer Shot: The vacuum salesman reads about Walt's suicide run against the Aryans in the newspapers he is collecting for Walt and actually does get the money to Skylar.

I can't believe Jeff Daniels beat out Bryan Cranston for the best actor Emmy. The Newsroom is preachy garbage - who actually watches that shit?

I dunno. I think it's less about personal redemption than making having done something in life. His son rejected him, his drug empire is going on without him, and now the company he co-founded says he was not a contributor (and Gretchen, none the less). It's not that he did good or bad, it's that he ended up invisible that pushed him over the edge.
