Yeah, but the total control he currently has is an illusion anyway. Without Mike's connections for distribution he has nothing. He could justify it to himself somehow, he may be even better at cognitive dissonance than he is at cooking meth. I could be way off too, the clip was just them driving up to what looked like the same guys way out in the desert somewhere again followed by Mike saying, "Your move Walter." I figure it has to be the same guys.Quote:

So do we think the DEA seized Mike's safe deposit box he was keeping for his granddaughter? I'm assuming they did.
Todd is an interesting enigma wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in a vest. He seems kind of dumb, a bit of a psycho obviously... but he's connected. Almost like Tommy in Goodfellas.
I expected him to retire like that, just not now.Quote:

Tuco was a methhead maddog, Gus was a businessman seeking revenge, Mike was a pro looking to provide for his granddaughter. Todd doesn't have any motive for anything - he doesn't need one. He's psychotic.
Wow, what an episode.....that episode alone prob secures another emmy for BC - looks like some future locking of horns for Jessie and Todd, who Walt will groom like a lapdog. Is this this season the end of the series?
I bet they use Todd's connections in prison to try and wipe out the 9 loose ends from Mike's gang. Was kinda shocked Mike went out like that, sucked I wanted him to get away.
Kind of. It's a short Season 5 only one episode left. "Season 6" starts back up in late winter after a short break with another 8 episodes and that's it.Quote:

Kinda had a feeling Mike was going to die, once the DEA nabbed him he was going to talk or get killed off. It wouldn't be very dramatic if he got out and kept his mouth shut.
I disagree on Todd. Todd is just a kid who wants to fit in. The spider in the jar was just like the kid at the beginning of that show. Mission - want to belong to the unit like in the army. Walt is like a father figure. Todd will end up doing anything at Walts command. Totally amoral. Just like walt has become.
Agreed on Bryan Cranston being amazing with his reaction after shooting Mike. Few actors could have pulled off the conflicted mix of emotions like that.
Did anybody else notice the weird camera angle when Gomez walked in on Hank and Walt in Hank's office? Almost like it was from the viewpoint of a surveillance camera. I would think a smart fella, if he were involved in any sort of nefarious activity in or within 50 yards of any building, would automatically assume that he was on camera.
Then again it may very well have been creative cameraplay on the part of the director. Like Anton Chigurh waiting behind the door at the crimescene when he wasn't actually waiting behind the door. It's gonna suck when this all ends....
Mind blown if that comes into play. Went back and watched and it was a very security camera-esqe angle. Although if it does it's got to come in the next episode. Could be the season break cliff hanger?Quote:

Todd's going to be the instrument of Walt's undoing. (He's got a little chubby psycho Matt Damon thing going on.)Quote:

I can't freaking wait for Hank to make the Walt connection. I really hope he pieces it together slowly instead of instantly figuring it out.Quote:

What will Jesse do? I think Jer is probably right. I hope he is wrong though. If Jesse is smart, he will follow Mikes advice and leave. Just disappear.
There is no way he will just disappear though. He is too integral of a piece in the show. Unless they couldn't reach contract agreements with the guy who plays Jesse? I heard that is why this season took so long to start and is so few episodes...Quote:
