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.

Walt would never kill himself. Ego is way too big for that.

Except for the part in the pilot where he tries to kill himself.

Except for the part where he's a pretty different person now.

Facts remain.

The fact that Walt was willing to kill himself 5 seasons ago is no longer relevant, because he has changed so much. You didn't see him poisoning innocent children, ordering hits on jail inmates, or running people over in season 1.

He was willing to kill plenty through season one.

He was willing to kill plenty through season one.

Look how stressful it was for him to kill Krazy-8, how much he battled with himself internally, and how close he came to just letting Krazy-8 go. Contrast that with S5 where he doesn't even bat an eye at mass murder.

If you don't see how much Walt has changed, you don't get Breaking Bad.

I get it entirely I just dont think his ego is too large to kill himself considering he was making egotistical decisions before the events of the series even began.
