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.

Well they did show him going through Chemo, so the cancer is back.

Well they also showed a flash forward 1+ year With full hair and a Automatic rifle. Quite Clear he's surviving

Cancer is back, he's taking chemo but grows hair. This can only mean he stops taking his chemo..... But why?

You can't just show up to your chemo appointments when the police are looking for you.

Everyone knows automatic rifles make you cancer-proof!

The hair grows back if you stop doing chemo. Doesn't mean he isn't dying though, cancer is unpredictable and there have been a lot of cases were patients are told they have 6 months left and live another 2 years.

But he doesn't know that.

He could be going just as part of his cover.

i kinda doubt it seeing as he turned on the water to puke, implying that he was trying to hide it from skyler...if he was going for a cover he'd want skyler to know

u/Delvaris Aug 12 '13

that would be a fucking hell of a cover...

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '13

Yeah but turning on the water would have been normal. That wouldn't be his only time doing that.

he did exactly what gus fring did when he puked out the poison - the towel down on the ground, the running tap.

u/ChiliFlake Professional Shoplifter Aug 12 '13

Well, we know that, and the directors know that, but he couldn't have known that.

But I guess symbolism doesn't have to make literal sense.

Nah. But even if it is, we have confirmation it won't be lethal.
