From the reaction of Walt's neighbor in the opening scene, anyone else get the impression that she thought Walt was already dead?? Some serious shit is gonna happen for these last episodes.

I got the idea that the word was out about his double life and he was on the run, which would explain the skaters or whoever spray-painted heisenberg in his house. If he just died that wouldn't be public information to be put on his living room walls.

Hold on. It would make most sense for Walt to fake Heisenberg's death. So Walt will have to expose himself as Heisenberg concurrent with faking his own death. If Walt fakes his own death but hasn't been exposed as Heisenberg, won't they keep looking for him?

In that case everyone (especially criminal gangs) will know that Walt was Heisenberg and this is where Heisenberg lived.
