    I was not paying nearly close enough attention to that -
    did Walt use the ricin? Was there anything to allude to that he used it, like Huell's patdown of Jesse last season? Or did he just have it there as an option and was convinced by her sales pitch
    I don't think so, he was hiding the vial again after the commercials.

    Walt's getting eccentric after Mike's death. That's a bad thing for Walt. He's gonna get sloppy.

    This is literally the most fucked up, brutal thing this show has ever done. I don't even get bothered by violence but this scene has actually made me feel physically ill

    And he seems so disgruntled. It's like, without the challenge, without the opposition... why bother?

    Also, the reveal of that cash was amazing. First time he's been caught offguard all season.

    I'm really glad it ended with that instead of junior
    walking over to holly finding she'd gotten ahold of the poison, which is what I expected.

    Also
    wow that was violent.

    That was probably what they were counting on.

    IIRC they stream episodes in real time on AMC's website for Dish customers.

    Why? Because I asked? Doesn't seem too complicated here. Spoiling a show does not change my enjoyment of watching it tomorrow.

    Also, they only streamed one episode to Dish customers is my understanding.

    -Walt spends a minute studying a fly in the office.
    -new guy comes in and informs him he had the car crushed into a cube at the dump
    -they proceed to opening the other car trunk, which has Mike in it, and get the rubber barrel and chemicals ready
    -Jesse shows up. They close the trunk before Jesse sees anything, Walt and Jesse talk for a minute about ehat do to about the 9 guys until Walt tells Jesse that he has no say in anything anymore, and closes the garage on him.

    Man, the whole time I was thinking she's wearing pink, pink is death, she's wearing pink, pink is death.

    Then
    Hank got up and I realized Walt Whitman. There was no other reason to show the Walt Whitman cover earlier if it wasn't going to come back into play. You got me.

    The real question is...
    What does Hank do now? He can't just go out and confront Walt in front of Junior and everyone. He can't bring it up to the DEA because it's going to make him look incompetent at best, and maybe downright complicit. The only option he has is to (A) do nothing, or (B) take out Walt on his own.

    Argh, I can't believe they're making us wait a whole year to see the rest of the season. Stupid AMC.

    Everything is effectively wrapped up and the one thing that makes 8 more episodes possible is Walt putting that book on the toilet.

    Hoffa was nailed on tax evasion.

    No one is expecting a clean break for Walt. Having everything wrapped up in a such a clean fashion would have been anticlimactic. There must be some sort of sacrifice for what he has accomplished. You could argue that his relationship with his wife was the sacrifice, but that appeared to have been salvaged in that final scene.

    So it's Gale Boetticher's lab notes that
    had the earlier mention of W.W in them, correct? And the book itself has an inscription to W.W. in Gale's handwriting. Is that what's going on, or is this the second time that Hank has seen this exact book before, but only now is he realizing that the inscription really is to Walter?

    It's kind of immaterial, a mental housekeeping issue, one would derive the same result from the episode either way. It's just nagging me that I just can't remember if they found W.W. in the lab notes or in this exact book before, among Gale's personal effects, when he was killed.

    edit: OK, I think I found a youtube clip that has jogged my memory sufficiently. It's that
    Gale just gave Walt the book earlier. Walter left it lying around because...because it must have seemed like an afterthought, and Walter is arrogant enough to do something like that. The inscription is meaningless to anybody but Hank, due to the W.W. mentions and Hank's familiarity with Gale in general.

    I'm pretty sure it was in the lab notes, or a journal of some sort. I recall Walter was the one to mention Walt Whitman as the possible WW reference.

    I'm pretty certain that everything was not wrapped up, at least not entirely. The whole time during the last scene, I was thinking
    what about the guys Walt forced into cooperation with him? Did he just hand in a letter of resignation and hope they'd go away? Won't they either want the rest of the methylamine and his recipe, or just want to kill him for screwing them over? What about the Madrigal woman? She just started up a new overseas business for him. I don't think he can just stop showing up to work and expect everything to smooth over.
