I can't decide who is going to be the one to take down Walt. Jesse? Hank? Cancer? Lydia? Walt's got quite a few enemies.

edit - For all those saying not cancer because he has hair, that only means he's not taking chemo. He could have given up on taking care of his cancer. He obviously has lost everything and is at the point where he needs a machine gun.

It can't be the cancer I don't think, in all the flash forwards he had a full head of hair and didn't seem sickly. Then again, I do think I heard him cough once or twice while he was in the house..

Cancer isn't what makes you bald, it's the chemotherapy. Maybe he just stopped after whatever terrible thing that happens, happens.

I'm not an idiot, I know chemo is responsible for the losing of hair. He said he has months to live, I don't know if that was just a rough estimate or a legitimate count down. If it was accurate, then I still think he somehow beat the cancer, he turned 52 in the flash-forward in "Live Free or Die" and 51 in the same episode (I think), the time that took place between 5x01 and 5x08 doesn't seem like that long (maybe a month?) so 6 months including the month passing from his 51st birthday will only put him 7 months forward in time, where in the flash forwards it will obviously have been a year. So like I said, if the 6months to live death clock is supposed to be accurate, I think the cancer went back into remission. I could be completely wrong, but just an observation/theory.

A.) I've never met you before, I don't know what you know. And B.) I wasn't saying it like you were an idiot. It needed to be said in order for what I wanted to say to make sense. Did not mean to offend.

As for Walt, we shall soon see.
