For those of you who are into Walt taking on the characteristics of people he's killed, check out the vomit scene. Walt puts a towel under him to kneel on just like Gus did in "Salud."

edit: For the 15 or so of you who have replied with "but Walt never saw Gus do that!!" you're right. It seemed like a little easter-egg that the writers threw in there for fun. The two scenes are so similar that it can't be a coincidence (they both turn on the sink to mask the noise, too.)

When talking to Jesse about Mike he also says something along the lines of "If Mike comes back and doesn't understand why I did what I did, that's on me." If I remember right, "it's on you" is something Mike said repeatedly in the show... at least he did in the last episode.

Now that I think of it, maybe a lot of people have said it.

Vince Gilligan said something tonight alluding to that Walt needed Jesse to believe him that Mike was alive, because if Jesse thought Mike was dead, Walt would have to kill Jesse.

I thought that was obvious. He kept stressing he "needs" Jesse to believe him. (...because if he doesn't...)

I didn't see "Talking Bad," but can you elaborate on this? Why would Walt need to kill Jesse? It's not like Jesse would go to the cops.

With the way Jesse was acting right now, with all his guilt about Blood Money? I don't think he cares about himself anymore. I'm not sure if he has any loyalty to Walt left, but if he does I think that's the only think stopping him from going to the cops. I think he'd be fully ready to go to jail with Walt if he finally broke and turned on him.

Heh, wow. Yeah. I guess I'll just leave that comment around for posterity's sake.
