I think I'm ready to lay money down that Jesse heads off to UNM (though he might be more of a Las Cruces kind of guy), gets a BS in Chemistry, and starts teaching high school.

That would be a fitting resolve for his character from where I'm sitting. I'm down with that.

Chances of Jesse becoming a teacher are about 7-1, I think. Maybe 4-1 for some sort of similar peaceful "legit" existence.I'll take that action.. how much we talking here?

Ted is "the Russians" equivalent in the Sopranos. Methinks we are done with him for the final 8.I could definitely get on board with a flashforward to end it with Jessie walking into a classroom on the first day of school welcoming his new students to Chemistry 101yo

We know what happened to Ted. Just because we may not see him in the final season doesn't mean he's a loose end or unanswered question.The Czechoslovakian interior decorator simply vanished. There was never any explanation as to what happened to him.

I think I posed something similar, but with Hank being killed and Walt protecting the Annoying Sisters and his kids with the M60.

Dexter's still not bad (and Deb actually managed to get less annoying as the show went on, which is a good thing), but the jumping the shark moment was definitely when we saw Rita dead in the bathtub. Dexter's behavior after that really irked me and I never was into the show as much after that.

Why do people keep talking about Gretchen? WE KNOW THAT IT IS GALE'S HANDWRITING IN THE COPY OF 'LEAVES OF GRASS' THAT HANK SEES ON THE TOILET.G.B is Gale Boetticher not Gretchen Black or any other Gretchen B.Maybe the G.B. stands for Gansta Badger. Maybe it's from Walt "Gimpy Boy" Jr. Maybe it was from Gus's former partner Gus's Buttbuddy.

How would Walt ever rationalize Hank's death to Skyler?
That might be the final straw for her.
There is no way a widowed Marie could handle taking on two children by herself (which is what Skyler wants), so Skyler would feel completely trapped.

Wasn't it pretty much implied in the last few minutes of the last episode that the kids are back at home? I mean Walt did tell Skyler that he was out. And they're all eating at Walt and Skyler's house instead of The Purple Palace.

Ok, I have been following this thread for the last 4 seasons and I am finally going to add something to it. Here is my take on what might happen.
Every season there needs to be a "villain" of some sort. This season Walt's foil was Mike. I think that next season Todd's "family" ties come into play. I could see them trying to push Walt around after Todd has enough notes to think they can make the meth on their own. Anyone that has enough contacts to arrange the deaths of 9 people in prison are very scary individuals. I could see a situation where they threaten Walt's family and after Hank tells him he knows who Walt really is, Walt turns to him for help. He offers to turn state's evidence to help protect his family from the skinheads, nazis or whatever those guys are. Everything is fine for a while until a year from now, when they either catch up with Walt's family or Jesse and Walt is forced to come back, hence the machine gun.
Just my 2 cents.

as an emotional shell, I think he becomes an addict again and has enough money to kill himself with drugs.

The Law of TV Casting pretty much assures we'll be hearing from Todd's family connections again.

Pretty decent chance of happening.

I guess they could have a small role. I'd hate for them to be the major players though. We only have 8 seasons left, and there just isn't time to build the tension between that group and Walt. Perhaps they will play a minor role, but anything short of major confrontations between Walt/Hank, Walt/Jesse, Hank/Skyler will be very disappointing. We've built to this for 5 years. It's time to allow the confrontation to finally happen.I just can't imagine a scenario where Hank helps Walt. I think the show is going to get uncomfortably dark as the Hank/Walt showdown takes place.

I wouldn't worry about it. "Devil" is mostly harmless. He won't start trouble where there is none.Now, if Boyd finds out Walt is cookin' that poison a'gin, there might be trouble.

Raylon would have caught them before the end of the first season. Hank is no Raylon Givens.

I think people mean Walt will SAY the book is from Gretchen Black etc, not that it IS. It's obviously gale's gift to Walter.

Holy hell this is wrong on every level imaginable.
The Rita reveal one of the best ever on TV. That was a terrific season. Dexter at it's peak. The next season did suck and I didn't even watch last season once I saw Olmas/Hanks were the villains.

Thanks. I wouldn't have figured that out. I thought it had to do with the money that Walt brought Saul, but then Walt left the duffle bags with Jesse.

During the prison scene montage, was anyone wondering if they'd miss somebody? I felt like it was all the more effective because the result wasn't necessarily a foregone conclusion.

No, I was thinking another ####ing montage?
Brady Marino

The moment was good, yes, but it also represented the last time the series was good. Ok, maybe jumping the shark wasn't the best term, but you get the point.

One reason why I think it might come down to Walt protecting Jesse is Walt's comment to Declan that he and Jesse were the two best meth cooks in North America. If Walt truly is out, either by choice or because he has to disappear, Declan would know just where to guy to keep the gravy trai going.

Did I miss where Hanks wife was discussing being pregnant?

She is not pregnant. Hank and Marie are a pretty solid no-kids couple. Mrs. Purple did, however, say she was taking pre-natal vitamins, under a friend's advice, for better hair.

People are seriously overthinking this "loose" wall plate. The Ricin will come out if, and only if, Walt pulls it out. Seriously, that would be one of the stupidest plot devices ever on TV if Holly was to somehow find/eat it.

Her name is not Gretchen Black. It's Schwartz or something. There is no mention, anywhere, that her maiden name is Black. Good lord.

Hank: Where the hell did you get this book? How do you know Galen?
WW: Who's Galen? I thought this book was cool because it was dedicated to another WW. WTF are you talking about?

The best part is that the wall plate isn't even lose! He screwed it on and checked it, there was no give.
