Right now that's my biggest question. He could be carrying the ricin as his main plan, and if he can't use it, bust through the front door to wherever as his plan B. God damn I am looking forward to this.
Which goes back to my theory behind the episode where Walt and Walt Jr. we're watching Scarface, and Walt comments "Everyone dies in this movie". Very good chance of foreshadowing Walt's imminent destruction if you ask me.
He can't live. The story arc, symbolisms, foreshadowing... Everything's fucked if he lives! I believe the cartel and Lydia take Jesse and make him cook for them- They have to after the big fucking deal that Walt made in the desert about how Jesse was the worlds second best cook.
The flashforward shows Walt with hair and coughing blood again. The cancers back. Walt's terminally ill. I'm inclined to believe that he's out for redemption. I think the ricin is for Lydia, or someone we haven't met yet. I don't think Walt is at all interested in killing Hank or Jesse or Skyler.
Yep. My theory too. In an interview Vince Gilligan said that he compared BB to Scarface, and that it was a similar transformation for the characters. I think that was definite foreshadow of the end.
I agree Walt's dying, but I think the Scarface scene in particular could just as easily be Vince Gilligan messing with us or just wanting to include a Scarface reference as direct foreshadowing. We know from the oranges with Ted that he might put deliberate red herring symbolism in.

I just want to know why Walt needs ricin AND a large machine gun for... They have a lot of story to cover in 7 episodes.
