I think Mike realizes that at the end of the day, he still needs a job. Walt is the only person who is in a position to provide him one.
Walt has enough money so that he does not need a job. Besides he seems to know everyone in the game and could easily find an employer in another city.
and Badger
Thought it went without saying.
Someone already mentioned it, but Mike has family ties in ABQ.
How much does he have left after Skylar gave all that money to Ted? Or am I'm forgetting something?
How about I just go with "Super-#####" from now on?
The greatness of this show is the web of pressure between characters all at once. It would be a shame if they only had Ted live to not have a loose end from a previous season. Walt is in a relatively safe place right now. He needs new pressure from several angles for the show to be strong this season. I bet Ted does something like extortion to apply pressure on Skyler and Walt.
Sorry substitute Mike for Walt in the above.
He had to borrow $$$ from Jesse for Operation Magnet.
Relatively speaking, not much. Remember, he needed "at least a half a million" to make him and his family disappear and couldn't do it after Skyler paid Ted.
Didn't he say he just didn't have access to his money though?
He made a comment about the money being tied up due to an IRS thing.Cover for Ted's non-returnable gift, IMO.
For all intents and purposes, Ted thinks he was accosted and almost killed by a couple of gangsters. Why would he think any threat of extortion would keep him safe?.....In addition, he doesn't really known enough about Walts operation to go to the Feds in an attempt to give them something in return for lenience on his problem with them. He's kind of out there on his own. I took a lot of finality from that scene. Skylar's transformation from blubbering to "Good" told me it was over. The great part about it is that we'll have 15 episodes to find out if I'm wrong.....and if I am.....then I have enough confidence in these writers that they'll set it up in a way that I will find interesting.
or perhaps not
Ted hasn't struck me as a logical thinker. His desires seem to get the best of him.
Sep thought he was dead too
No kidding. The end of last season and this episode took place over a matter of days.
Dude should pay more attention to what he watches.
We don't know if the laptop is destroyed. And I'm not sure I follow what you're saying Walt did with a videocam? Are you referring to looking into it without the hood on? They were in that room without the hoods plenty.
The video in the lab. Since Walt killed Gus that started the chain of events where they had to retrieve the laptop. Mike was a)initially mad at walt for gus so now b) he should be even madder now that he has potentially gotten the DEA on his tail.Its unlike Vince to leave a loose end like the money drops out there. I am thinking they have to play a role at some point.
It was a reasonable thought, but it was not something that was made clear. On Newsroom last night they covered the Gabby Giffords thing. Multiple networks declared her dead. She wasn't. I'm thinking about sending her a letter and letting her know that her living was kind of weak and that it comes off as a bit of a walk-back.
Seemed like a decent amount of time passed between Mike getting the call and them meeting in the desert. Although not enough for Walt's nose to fully heal.
I can see Walt setting up Mike to be Heisenberg, getting him killed. Walt kills Jesse at some point after Jesse realizes what got Mike killed (or Brock poisoned) and Walt goes on to live happily ever after with some cash in his pocket and running a car wash with Skylar.
If/when hank ever discovers who Walt is, I just hope they don't devote 6 episodes to hank having gay feelings for him leading up to the reveal.
from the preview
I'm wondering if Hank already knows. That look on his face while the cops were packing up Fring's computer made me think he had maybe already looked at some of the footage. Then we didn't see Hank for the rest of the episode. It would seem more in line with Hank's character that he would want to take a peek immediately. Then again you'd expect Fring to use top-level encryption, so I'm probably completely off.
He just has a look on his face - doesn't look necessarily like he's completely figured it out yet.
New Mexico structural code 16A-84CC require all government buildings to be fitted double studded 11 gauge steel beams on the 1st 2 floors.I'm surprised it took so long for the truck to tilt.
The season is two parts, if I'm understanding right.. 8 eps this summer and 8 next summer.. my assumption is Walt will die at or toward the end
Well, if he had killed Walt and Jesse in the desert, he'd be in the wind, at best, but most likely on his way to being in prison.That's assuming Gus kept recordings of everything. No idea if he would've though. I can't decide if I think Mike should kill Walt or not. On the one hand, it only makes sense to kill Walt when he thinks Walt is a legit threat to his life (but I doubt he ever comes to that conclusion).On the other hand, Walt is a ####head who really annoys him. There's not much reason to keep him alive. I have no doubt that Mike can find gainful employment (and I assume he's got a nice retirement squirreled away).My hope is that Mike ultimately wins Jesse's total allegiance, and that they kill Walt while he's reloading his M60.
Walt & Jesse's plan was his chance of still being able to buy his granddaughter more balloons.
I think Mike knows there's some tremendous upside to partnering with Jesse and Walt. Not that they'll ever necessarily achieve it.
Not sure where that comes from. The money was in the mass distribution of the product. Those avenues are now gone as well as the ability to manufacture in quanity.
True. Though I don't think that was going through his mind when he looked into the mirror after the "Because I say so" comment. You're probably right though. As much as he hates Walt's guts, there must be some compelling reason for him not to kill him.I have no idea about Mike's background or what's going through his mind at the moment, but I'm excited to find out.
You think they stop cooking meth now, and don't even try to fill the void they created?OK
Not like I know how that #### works, I just figured that's what the show is about
I don't think they stop, but I also don't think they're going to be rolling around picking up bags of loot and stashing 7 figures in crawlspaces anymore. That stuff comes with making mailbins of the stuff at a time, not ounces.You think they stop cooking meth now, and don't even try to fill the void they created?OK
I dont think Mike needs to partner with them based on his age and his cash. (assuming he empties all of the drops)
Dude.
