I agree that it was a shame that Mike was eliminted by Walt over such a trivial ego-driven outburst. The man is not in control of himself the way that Mike was. Mike really was a strong person and a character you could almost admire. Walt, on the other hand, while well-educated and intelligent, is not a man with the temperment to be successful at being a crime boss for very long. He's too much of a hot-head.
Yes, Skylar seems like a pain in the ass, from Walt's perspective. But she is in the right and I kind of hope it is her that takes Walt out...her or maybe Walt Jr., protecting his mother and sister.
I don't think Todd is smart enough to do it on his own. They kind of portrayed it as Walt still doing most of the work, even with his help. But who knows. It is rare to be able to successfully guess what it going to happen on this show.
This last episode was very well done. Great editing, music, character development (with Lydia in particular), and great ending! Next year can't come quick enough!

The second look at the painting of the man leaving his family in the boat implies to me that his eventual travel to New Hampshire will be on his own, to keep his family safe.
In fact, this last episode had A LOT of season 2 references... which was also the last time Walt was dying from cancer. They made sure to show another doctor's visit without showing what the result was.
