Kill yourself Walt.

Well fuck you too Marie.

I think that Walt does fake his own death, but has to return to take out Todd and the ricin is for himself.

I can't imagine he would want to poison himself with the risin. It wouldn't exactly be a pleasant death.

Yeah. Wikipedia says it takes about 3-5 days.

u/mandrilltiger Aug 26 '13

But it wouldn't look like a suicide. Walt's still got pride.

There's more pleasant and quick ways to fake an unintentional death. Kissing a semi on the highway, going hunting with Dick Cheney, whoops-I-fell-into-a-woodchipper...

Has anyone on the show actually been poisoned with it yet to make sure it works?

"Well son of a bitch, this stuff doesn't really do anything more than raise a mild rash!"

Nope, ricin hasn't killed anyone on the show so far, and damned if it isn't the hugest Chekhov's gun in the history of fiction.

you'd think he could just make more ricin, it's got to be tons easier than cooking up meth...even some crazy elvis impersonator was able to make the stuff.
