They argue that Gilligan really wants to establish that crime doesn't pay. Nobody complicit in this saga can redeem themselves, not even in a noble death. Perhaps his strongest statement is for everyone to die ignobly or slink off into obscurity.

Couldn't disagree more. Ego is his downfall, but he's consistently been the evil genius that one-upped all the other criminals.

My prediction: Jesse finds himself with the option to kill Walt after Walt mows down Jesse's captors, essentially saving Jesse's life...again. Jesse has been somewhat of a moral compass and perhaps this is his final crossroads. Not bad for a character that was supposed to die in the first season.

My thoughts.
The writers have been using the ricin as a red herring from the start... just like Walt held the ricin as a red herring over Jesse when Brock was poisoned. I believe that although Todd is a sociopath for sure... he has DEEP respect for Walter. So much so that Walter is the one and only reason that Skyler and the kids are alive. He is also extremely logical, cold, and calculated about everything he does. All things that his uncle Jack isn't. He was ready to kill Jesse after the confession tape but Todd stopped him. Jack makes the case that they already hit the jackpot but Todd comes back with "this is millions... how can you turn your back on more?". BOOM... Jesse is cooking and meth is at 96%. Todd is a forward thinker. Walt comes back to take down the AB in some undefined manner that will include shooting the ever loving shit out of some skin heads with an M60. Todd kills Jack face to face, remember in the scene where Jack was talking about how Lydia's coochie would be like a wood chipper and all the skinheads were laughing... Todd was displeased, and joins forces with idol Heisenberg. Lydia is Walt's intended target for the ricin but because of Todd's feelings for, and because she is their pipeline to millions in Europe, Lydia becomes untouchable. Walt relents because doing so gives him an opportunity to reclaim his empire, even if only temporarily, and the nest egg for his family. Todd is likely very content to play the role of muscle/consiglieri to Walter. Jesse, for me, is the biggest question mark. I believe he is a week and broken man. He won't want to get close to anyone ever again. He sends a large sum of money to Brock('s family) and is given taken to NH by the vacuum cleaner guy after being convinced he should give Jesse a second chance. Jesse lives out his days as a hermit on those 2 acres. Walt starts cooking again with Todd who soaks it all in learning how to produce the infamous blue meth. Walter dies very shortly after of cancer, never having seen his family again and doesn't get the opportunity to exact revenge on Elliot and Gretchen. In order to completely take the eyes of the law off Skyler, Walt has Todd place his body somewhere it can be found. Skyler moves the family away to escape the stigma, she has already gone back to her maiden name, and starts a "legitimate" business to launder the money that Jack originally stole plus whatever is earned from Walt's final cooks. |

I thought in his discussion with Saul he did all that to get Skylar and his family in the clear from his doings. Saul even said something about the conversation he had over the phone with her was perfect and probably recorded, or something to that extent.

Skyler has plenty of money. She has been stealing out of the pot since the beginning.
She is working the job and going along with everything until things cool down. I wouldn't be surprised if Walt gives her some info to give to the DEA that takes down Lydia so that Skyler gets off free. |

So I have finished the first two episodes so far. I think this show just might have a chance to be good.
