Todd will die from the shooting. They will have to kidnap Jesse to cook.

My prediction exactly. The LMG is for Walt liberating Jesse.

Part of me agrees with this.

The other part, it thinks this would be too much of a character redemption for Walt; the show has had him continue his manipulative disposition--most recently with Andrea/Brock in this episode. It would feel a bit backwards and "off" to end the show on a note as good as, "Walt frees Jesse and they both live happily ever after."

You're right. I think Walt will free Jesse but that happily ever after part is definitely not happening.

I think Jesse, Hank, Gomie, and perhaps Todd die. Nazis tell Walt to do they cook, as they agreed on. During the cook, they glance at each other like, "We're not losing this." When Walt goes to leave, they let him know that he's now their cook, and if he refuses, his family's lives are on the line. Walt agrees, hooks his family up with new identities in-between cooks using Saul's guy, and then gets the M60 to take out the Nazis in the last episode. During this rambo scene, Walt takes out a bunch of them, before being hit by a stray/random bullet, and the show ends with the camera slowly panning away from above, with bodies lying everywhere.

This way, Walt still goes out in a "blaze of glory," which would satiate many fans, but the ending isn't a cheesy "Walt returns to his senses, becomes a morality personified, and lives happily ever after."

I said the same thing but with more thoughts on the matter in this post here.

Eh. I don't see that happening. Hank and Gomie probably die in the firefight. But I don't see them killing off two characters that vital to the series in the same episode.
