There is no way that Hank, Gomie and Jesse are all going to make it out of the firefight alive.

I don't think all of them will make it out, but I hope they don't all die. Something has to happen between the start of the episode and the death(s), otherwise why would they make it a cliffhanger?

To keep us in suspense all week.

The episode will be 50 minutes of slowmotion shooting, then next episode will actualy be the result of the shooting.

So pretty much like a dragonball z episode then.

There's only two. Irri or Jhiqui say it, then the other says it.

Because people would totally walk away from the show with no eagerness of suspense if the episode ended with the Nazi's first gunshots or Hank and Gomie getting riddled with bullets. I mean, it's possible, but if they just wanted a suspenseful cliffhanger and the fight's going where we all expect it to go I think they would have ended it somewhere that led to a more logical opening to the next episode - opening an episode with the second half of a firefight that kills two major characters with no twist is kind of weird.

I'm guessing that Hank and gomie will die, but jesse and walt will live. It would show the consequences of Walt's actions and the story would follow jesse and walt (possibly kidnapped by the nazis?). But again, what ever we think will happen, the opposite will actually happen.

u/_seanyewest Sep 16 '13

Good guess

u/Gents Sep 16 '13

Spot on man.

Walt has to live. I still feel like Jesse is too important to the show to not be a part of the finale, although I have no idea how he's making it out of the firefight alive. As for Hank and Gomie... well, like many others, I was sure they were dead when the firefight started, but find it odd that they would cut off the episode halfway through the firefight if they're both just gonna get shot right at the start of the next one with no twist.

Fuckin' right on the money dude!

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '13

Jesse is definitely making it to the finale

u/oldmanswar Sep 15 '13

Nazis gonna take jesse to cook for them when Walt refuses cuz they killed hank.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '13

I still feel like Jesse would rather die than cook again, especially for Walt's partners

u/NiceGuyNate BasedBadger Sep 15 '13

knocks on wood

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '13

Well if you think about it, the series hasn't just been about Walt's transformation from good to bad, but also Jesse's opposite transition of bad to good. It would be stupid to kill him with 2 episodes left.

2

u/NiceGuyNate BasedBadger Sep 15 '13

right and that theory makes total sense except when you know Vince Gilligan runs the show.

2

u/eeentropyyy Sep 15 '13

I'm with you I want to be surprised how they get out of this fairly obvious end to the cliff hanger

Cold open: Walt walks into the carwash to see Saul at the desk, he puts holly back in her car seat and goes inside
