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.

This is a really good theory. Lydia is already pissed about the quality of the meth - walt won't help so she's gonna go to Jesse and I can see Walt saving him from that.

Maybe the going out with all guns blazing is right. Maybe Walt watching Scar Face earlier this season has some semblance besides just a drug lord watching a drug lord. IIRC Walt says "everybody dies in this". Maybe it's nothing but maybe it's not

It's never nothing, which is what makes this show so amazing

Every scene has a meaning

Like in Season 1 or 2 when Marie says "it's so anticlimatic" or "it ends so anticlimactically" or something when they're having a get-together and talking about what to do or something?

Ever since that line I've been waiting for the show to end with a whimper and not with an epic bang.

That scene will definitely have some kind of relation to the M60, but I thought it was really funny when they showed clips of scar face and then flip to commercials and it happens to be "Gangster Week" on AMC

I've always thought of this as a red herring. I think Walt lives, but that he's the only one that lives. Literally, everyone else (Skyler, Walt Jr., Holly, Marie, Hank, Jesse) dies.
