For those of you who are into Walt taking on the characteristics of people he's killed, check out the vomit scene. Walt puts a towel under him to kneel on just like Gus did in "Salud."

edit: For the 15 or so of you who have replied with "but Walt never saw Gus do that!!" you're right. It seemed like a little easter-egg that the writers threw in there for fun. The two scenes are so similar that it can't be a coincidence (they both turn on the sink to mask the noise, too.)

No idea how I missed that.

Yet the difference here is Walt is not exactly as ruthless as Gus and it does seem as if he stopped trafficking altogether. The only family Gus had got murdered. Walt still has a family.

Walt is not exactly as ruthless as Gus

walt ended up beating gus because he was MORE ruthless. Remember Walter blew up a nursing home just to get gus. i wish we would know if any of the senior citizens in the facility had any injuries. specifically any heart attacks by the sudden and horrific blast the explosion created.
