wrong. wrong. wrong.
"one red line" . no. Interesting poetic take, but that's not all that ticked off W
not his fault: speculation. an event can have multiple causes
somewhat unfairly. well, you qualified that , but come on, Jes really messed things up.
communicate boogeyman -- not sure what that means, but pretty sure if I look up boogeyman, that that's wrong too.

I kind of hope not. Because - and I hate to break this to everyone - Jesse sucks. He sucked terribly to start, and he sucks now.

Which brings me to something else:

Walt says 'I still have things to take care of,' before he hangs up the phone with Skyler. What does he have left to do? Taking Skyler out wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for a dude about to die and considering that he initially and with some consistency did all of this stuff for the sake of his family (especially if he died, and I'm not saying other factors didn't come into play such as power, and I'm not saying power didn't become his primary driver at times). And on that note, he seemed to put real effort into saving Hank. So does that mean he's going after the white supremacists that stole $70 million from him and killed someone that I'm pretty sure he genuinely did love and care about? Is going after THEM how he kind of redeems himself?

Also, if he was going to save Jesse, why would he damn him to a fate worse than death, including some back-breaking psychological elements (the Jane admission, the picture of Brock and his mom)? Why would he have had the white supremacists drag him out from under the car when they had given up looking? Maybe he saves Jesse, but at this juncture, nothing points to that and it simply wouldn't make sense.

Walt still needs to take care of the issue that started this all in the first place, ensuring his family will have the money after he dies. He still wants to get them the money to take care of his kids, one way or another.

He isn't worried about Jesse, as he thinks he is dead.

But really, I think the foreshadowing of the M60 and the cars at the beginning of this season was Walt going after the rest of his money, and to take out Todd's uncle for killing Hank.

#1. My only problem with the episode is the BIG mistake by the writers. Walt is a super smart guy yet he tells the gangbangers that he has 80 Million dollars? Why not tell him he just has 20 or ....40....etc. But the WORST of all is that he tells them its buried right where they are standing. He could have saved Hank by telling the guys he will pay them 40 million dollars not to kill Hank. By telling them about the money he signed Hank's death and the fact that he was about to get robbed. It just seemed really out of character for him to make such a HUGE mistake.

#2. I thought it was interesting that Walter helped out Skylar by trying to show she knew nothing and cleared her name on the phone. Shows he has a little ounce of good in him. But he is still a piece of ****.

Not a mistake. It is calculated to show you that things are unraveling faster than Heisenberg can keep up with them. It is showing his collapse, and builds tension and desperation leading up to the final showdown with Todd's uncle.

We've established pretty strongly that Todd can't make Blue. Obviously Walt knows this as well having worked with Todd for months while he built up his nest egg.

I really like the idea that Walt reappearing in ABQ happens when Blue starts showing up in New Hampshire and he realizes that Jesse has to be alive.

I missed the blue showing up in New Hampshire. When was that revealed? Crap. I guess I'll have to rewatch parts. :D

I don't think they've shown anything of Walt in New Hampshire. This is pure speculation based on what we've seen so far. It's also a way to set up any number of brutal ends. If Walt charges in to save Jesse after several months to a year does Jesse forgive him or kill him on the spot? Does Walt need the Ricin cigarette because he still wants Jesse dead even after he saves him? I'm still not certain what we would end on, I just like it as a plot mechanic to get to that end.
 
I would think the next episode happens after Walt runs, but before the episode where he shows up on his 52nd birthday.
 
2 episodes left or just 1? I thought the next one is the last one. Hope I'm wrong though.

But holy hell this is some of the best TV I have ever seen. And I was around for such greats as Alf and The Chevy Chase Show.
