I think the point people are making is that Gray Matter matters without revisiting the details of the departure or the Schwartz's in the finale.
If they do, I'm sure it'll be great, but there doesn't appear to be a need to.
I assume he left over some sort of disagreement on a project that made him feel disrespected. He probably took the $5K thinking he could do something better and failed.

Although, I guess the buyout could've partially been motivated by Flynn's birth and hospital bills.
Househunting Walt appeared to still be working at Gray Matter and Skyler was pregnant, right?
Walt was hopeful about future revenue, but it couldn't have been bringing in much money yet at all (if any) if he could be bought out for $5K.

Walt is hurting too much to do any damage with that M60, outside chance he recruits Badger and Skinny Pete to take out the Nazis and free Jesse, he already asked Saul for mercenaries, the seed has been planted that he is going to need help. He could kill Jesse, but for some reason it feels like if Jesse was going to die he'd be dead by now. Half of the money goes to that trio to reignite TwaüghtHammër, the other half is set aside for Skyler and family (not exactly sure how).
I could also see Walt trying to implicate Grey Matter with the meth empire in order to both bring down that other empire and free up the money the feds are searching for (this is a stretch and I'm not sure if there is time to make the link in the finale).
Ricin to Lydia via stevia - not sure how Walt sets that up, Walt turns himself in to die in jail in order to remove the heat from Skyler and family.
Closes up a lot of loose ends, everybody's happy, technical win for Walt.

A thread of intelligent and thoughtful critical analysis of the best TV show in a decade, if not ever, would be much more interesting than one full of every single person's "If I was a writer/what I think should happen is..." posts (followed by whoever luckily guesses closest bumping all his previous posts saying "I was right!!!")

Hollywood Forever is pretty fun, for a cemetery. During the summer they have movies every Saturday night and it seems like thousands of people there in lawn chairs. They project on a white wall of a mausoleum. Usually a few classics, a few horror, a few cult films. Tons of Hollywood graves there, including Valentino. Plus some of the weirdest Russian and Armenian monoliths complete with creepy etched portraits. Dunno if if want to be there for a normal viewing of a technically superb show, but with the cast and an RV, that's too much to pass up.

Inside baseball knowledge:
Stuff playing on TV in a set is called "playback" in the industry. Licensing the rights to re-use material is particularly difficult. Anyone in the footage has to sign off on it's usage, generally. But since the NCAA owns the rights to all the players' likenesses, you can use old college games pretty cheaply with only one contract, instead of tracking down permission from everyone involved.

Feelina lyrics by Marty Robbins
I feel like this song has already been played on the show.
Out in New Mexico, many long years ago
There in a shack on the desert, one night in a storm
Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder
To a young Mexican couple, a baby was born;
Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' died
Moon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the same
Mother and Father, both proud of the daughter
That heaven had sent them, Feleena was this baby's name.
When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams
She ran away from the shack and left them to roam
Father and Mother, both asked one another
What made her run away, what made Feleena leave home;
Tired of the desert nights, fartherly grieved to strife
She ran away late one night in the moon's golden gleam
She didn't know where she'd go, but she'd get there
And she would find happiness, if she would follow her dream.
After she ran away, she went to Sante Fe
And in the year that she stayed there, she learned about life
In just a little while, she learned that with a smile
She could have pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife;
Rich men romanced her, they dined and they danced her
She understood men and she treated them all just the same
A form that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hair
Lovely to look at Feleena was this woman's name.
Restless in Sante Fe, she had to get away
To any town where the lights had a much brighter glow
One cowboy mentioned the town of El Paso
They never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey did flow;
She bought a one-way, a ticket from Sante Fe
Three days and nights on a stage with a rest now and then
She didn't mind that, she knew she would find that
Her new life would be more exciting than where she had been.
The stage made it's last stop, up there on the mountain top
To let her see all of the lights at the foot of the hill
Her world was brighter and deep down inside her
An uncontrolled beating, her young heart just wouldn't be still;
She got a hotel, a room at the Lily Belle
Quickly she changed to a form-fitting black satin dress
Ev'ry man stopped to stare, at this form fine and rare
Even the women remarked of the charm she possessed.
Dancin' and laughter, was what she was after
And Rosa's Cantina had lights, with love in the gleam
That's what she hunted and that's what she wanted
Rosa's was one place, a nice girl would never be seen;
It was the same way, it was back in Sante Fe
Men would make fools of themselves at the thought of romance
Rosa took heed of, the place was in need of
This kind of excitement, so she paid Feleena to dance.
A year passed and maybe more and then through the swingin' doors
Came a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed
This one was new in town, hadn't been seen around
He was so different, he wasn't like all of the rest;
Feleena danced close to him, then threw a rose to him
Quickly he walked to her table and there he sat down
And in a day or so, wherever folks would go
They'd see this young cowboy, showin' Feelena the town.
Six weeks he went with her, each minute spent with her
But he was insanely jealous of glances she'd give
Inside he was a-hurtin', from all of her flirtin'
That was her nature and that was the way that she lived;
She flirted one night, it started a gun-fight
And after the smoke cleared away, on the floor lay a man
Feleena's young lover, had shot down another
And he had to leave there, so out through the back door he ran.
The next day at five o'clock, she heard a rifle shot
Quickly she ran to the door, that was facin' the pass
She saw her cowboy, her wild-ridin' cowboy
Low in the saddle, her cowboy was ridin' in fast;
She ran to meet him, to kiss and to greet him
He saw her and motioned her back, with a wave of his hand
Bullets were flyin', Feleena was cryin'
As she saw him fall from the saddle and into the sand.
Feleena knelt near him, to hold and to hear him
When she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his side
He raised to kiss her and she heard him whisper
"Never forget me - Faleena it's over, goodbye."
Quickly she grabbed for, the six-gun that he wore
And screamin' in anger and placin' the gun to her breast
Bury us both deep and maybe we'll find peace
And pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest.
Out in El Paso, whenever the wind blows
If you listen closely at night, you'll hear in the wind
A woman is cryin', it's not the wind sighin'
Old timer's tell you, Feleena is callin' for him;
You'll hear them talkin' and you'll hear them walkin'
You'll hear them laugh and you'll look, but there's no one around
Don't be alarmed - there is really no harm there
It's only the young cowboy, showin' Feleena the town.

Of all the crazy things in this thread, the craziest comments might be the ones saying they would be disappointed, or Jesus, even MAD, if "such and such" happens. Have the creators of this show not gotten enough leeway and earned enough credit that we would trust ANY direction they choose to go in at this point? I think if we hear that the synopsis of the finale was that Walt walked in on Flynn and the ghost of Hank double-teaming Wendy and he used the machine gun to fire ricin pellets at them while screaming "say my name", we should just assume that it would be done perfectly.
I'm not in the prediction business, but they've been throwing curveballs at us this entire last half season, so why stop now? As many predictions we we have on this board, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the direction they choose is something that none of us have even contemplated as a possibility before.

What are the views of the group here about the spendability of Walt's money? At times, it seems as though the point is to show that he can't possibly spend it anywhere, but he asked Forster the Disappearer if he would take it after Walt's death in the cabin, he was sending $100K to Walt, Jr., the Nazis certainly seem to think that they can spend it, and so on.
Are the bills marked in some way? I would think that, spent with discretion, they'd be usable in small to medium-sized quantities, and could be laundered for larger transactions, like the purchase of some (a lot of) land.

Unpack something for me. The fixer tells Walt to lay low and stay in the cabin for the foreseeable future.
Why?
Even if he is getting national attention, he has a new name/license, he's not bald, he has different glasses, and he's in some podunk town 2,000 miles away from where everything went down. He could fit in around New Hampshire as anonymously as Vito did before hooking up with Johnnycakes in disgusting man-sex.

No one of whom I'm aware. But there seems to be a strong thematic undercurrent of "water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink" with regard to Walt's ability to spend his money, so I was asking about it. I imagine it has more to do with his circumstances, as in, HE can't spend the money, nor Skyler/Walt Jr., but others can.
Sarnoff
Footballguy
Why does the fixer even help anybody? Seems he's got the perfect business plan... "Show up at my place with all your money and everything you value. I'll disappear you to a remote location and you'll never make contact with anyone you leave behind. A new start." Then he takes someone in, then shoots them and takes their cash. He'd never get caught... every time someone disappears, it looks like a great success. Even if he's never done it before, Walt and his barrel of money would be an easy target to start....

"Normally this is where you and I would part ways, but you're you so this is different."

And if just one of those bodies gets found, then he's got a mess of people after him. Seems smarter if he keeps to actually doing what he's paid to do.
Sarnoff
Footballguy
Did you even read my post?
He doesn't have to actually do the job to appear to do the job. Either way, as Walt said, once Walt's dead the barrel of cash is the fixer's. Must be tempting when sticking that chemical poison in Walt's arm to just take him out now and take the cash. Why wait? Even if the body is found, could look like someone tying up loose ends. A nazi, a rogue fed... maybe he makes it looks like a suicide.
But he doesn't. Perhaps one of the most morally upstanding of the characters on the bad side.

Even if it's a slim chance he would get recognized, from his perspective its better if Walt keeps to himself. I imagine a newcomer to such a small town would still raise questions.
Plus I imagine a drug kingpin with suspected involvement in the possible death of two DEA agents could very easily end up on a national show like America's Most Wanted. Telling Walt to lay low makes sense IMO.

He went to the one bar in town and the bartender flips through the channels to find people talking about him months later. Probably best to stay hidden.

You can still clearly that he is WW. If the dude's picture is all over TV, and you spot him with hair and different glasses (LOL) you still recognize him as Walt.
You're telling me that if a news story breaks in the bar with WWs face in it, the bartender looks at Walt and goes... "Nahhhh, that dude's got hair and... yep, definitely different glasses."
