I thought Walt was BS'ing when he said he was out, but having read previous comments, I tend to agree that the cancer is back and he thinks he can walk away. (Other than Hank, what past character is still around who might want to take WW out?)

I'm still wondering what the diner scene (52) was all about. It seemed like he was going out of his way to be noticed and remembered, as if to set up a false trail.

"Chekhov's ricin" will have to be a factor at some point.

Also, this is cool: A Brief History of Chekhov's Gun in 'Breaking Bad'
 
I still lay my money on Walt being the ultimate victim of the ricin. But really there are so many things that could happen to him at this point, LOL.
 
Todd not being smart enough had crossed my mind but then I thought maybe he got a lot better in the 3 months that have passed, there were a lot of cooks in that time.

Frankly spoken from a lab tech… not really, chemically wise. Todd could have written everything down, he has the recipe, but he doesn't understand a thing, if he's on his own. Every monkey can do a synthese with a work instruction.

But if something goes wrong, maybe forgot something or an impurity occurs and he does an error analysis, he's screwed, because in every step could lie an error. May it be the addition-elimination reaction, maybe he didn't put enough Aluminium catalyst, maybe there's too much water in the end he didn't stipped off enough (methylamin is a poisnous gas brought in water solution as a base), too low of the methlyamine precursor. Wrong temperature, etc., etc. …

You are absolutely right, I didn't think that through.
 
Yeah and that's the thing they've always implied with Jesse - he IS smart, but was always made to feel like an idiot. Walt has continuously used that to his advantage in manipulating him. He's only now starting to see through Walt's BS.
 
Jesse has certainly come a long way from "cow house... ya where they live... the cows".

I believe that Jesse truely worries about Walt's soul, the road he's going, but he's helplessly seeing him drown into greed. Which is interesting, since he was the bad boy, who cooked before Walt cooked. He now is the saint compared to Walt.

Believe me I made some other synthesis, which was easier than that and I screwed up too, which in was in the end a very simple error in working with clean instruments. I had a spatula contamination with copper as a catalyst, that triggered the nitrous oxide to bubble out of a second solution I needed. Hence, no reaction of the first one, when I pour the second one into the beaker, which nothing happend.

That's why Walt always says to work with clean tools. It's also know as GLP Good Laboratory Practice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At Comic Con, Bryan Cranston said the shotgun in the trunk of episode 1 will be a significant factor.
 
Did anyone read the interview in Rolling Stone? Was the bit about Saul having a spin off a joke or not?!

Also...

I framed it!
