One of the more difficult aspects of being a teacher is letting students float their stupid ideas without crushing them.
One of my students today, who is a fan of the show, was telling me that Walt's coming back with the machine gun to get Skyler because "he warned her over the phone not to cross him." I tried to explain to him what I perceived Walt's motivation to be for his behavior over the phone, but the student insisted that Walt was playing it straight and truly threatening Skyler over the phone.
