Haha, you had me going Angrist.

Not sure how spoiler-free suppose to keep this thread.

Yeah, from the gun spin. Sadly the reveal in the finale was ruined for me since a lot of folks were speculating on the plant since it was first shown.

Walt was able to keep Jane's death from Jesse easily but Huell and perhaps Sal (giving the kid candy with the plant?) are in on the poisoning even if they don't realize their role. Jesse will piece things together. Not to mention Hank.

Also I wonder what Mike will make of everything when he returns.

I was lucky and watched the show on my own time and stayed the hell away from everyone, so I didn't have anything spoiled. The cinematography and acting is brilliant. The camera work and the imagery....oh my god. The swimming pools are constantly showing up, the scene with Walt in the basement laughing was (imo) a coffin metaphor. Just dark and brilliant, and some of the best acting I've seen on TV. But the show is funny and has levity.

It's hard to watch Breaking Bad and go back and watch poorly acted/written shit like Chuck or The Walking Dead.

I think Mike is going to be a huge concern. Gus had a huge network of supporters, as evident by the doctor scene. He has a huge network, and I assume there is a plan in place if he falls.

The thing is they need cooks. If they don't have a supply...then Gus' empire falls apart. Will be interesting to see what Walt and Jessie do.

I think Jessie is going to...put some stuff together. I immediately thought of Jane's death after the finale, the Season 4 finale echoes Jane's death. The difference is that while Walt could have saved Jane, Jane was pretty much instrumental in her own death. This time Walt was instrumental in killing Gus. But both Gus and Jane needed to go.

They have 16 episodes to tackle:

-What happens with Gus' crime organization

-What does Hank know/what happens with Hank?

-What does Jessie figure out?

-What does Mike do?

-Skyler. She knows that Walt is a badass now. How is she going to react to that?

Teuthida was spot on with this old quote from earlier in this thread.

Im a little confused from the most recent episode exactly how or why Jessie suddenly made the connection and is so sure of it, but whatever.

And Im on the boat that I realize that Walt is the Villian, but somehow I kinda still want him to get away with it in the end. Its a strange feeling, but there is just some part of me that wants him to win.

I think when they pickpocketed him for the weed again

He realized that Sal called him to his office on the day the kid was poisoned.
