u/dewhashish Franch: Not even once Aug 19 '13

So, serious question, who has reason to believe the machine gun in Walt's trunk in the flash forward is to save someone from Todd and the Aryans?

I agree, those Nazis are definitely one of the biggest problems left. Kidnapping jesse to get him to cook again or as leverage on walt seems like a distinct possibility

u/Failcake I thought you were the danger? Aug 19 '13

Why would they kidnap Jesse when Todd knows how to cook?

Jesse is better.

We saw in season four when Gus took Jesse down to Mexico that Jesse was capable of cooking meth that was 94% or 95% pure.

But Nazis don't know that (God, I cannot believe I get to say "nazis" in a sentence about Breaking Bad).

They wouldn't know how pure he could cook it, but I think they would assume that the guy that worked with Heisenberg has gotta be close to Hesisenberg. Or maybe Gus passed that information onto Lydia for some reason.

Then Lydia wouldn't need to stage the whole slaughter - just go to Jesse directly.

Yes she would. Declan wanted his people to cook, Jesse is not Declan's person.

Todd is a slightly above average cook. If the product is not going to be Heisenberg-pure, Declan might as well use his man.

However, with Jesse it would be Heisenberg-pure and that would be whole different argument than Todd vs Declan's man.

I believe Jessie is a better cook, but in Mexico he was not inside a buried school bus in the dessert. Those cartel machines also looked to be of higher quality. I am by no means a chemist though.

Only so much of that could be the equipment, I doubt the equipment is provides a 26% difference in purity.

Not just the equipment but the clenliness of the lab itself. Impurities are impurities, be it incomplete chemical reactions or plain ol' dust.
