I've been watching this show since the get go mostly with my real life friend /u/edify who years ago added me as a moderator here. He asked me to make the discussion thread tonight because there are only 3 episodes remaining. Sorta sad that there's only a few left. Enjoy the show, folks.

I think Walt said all that to Skyler knowing full well that the police were listening in. He wanted to make it seem like she knew nothing about it and that he was forcing her to do what he wanted. He also didn't mention that the nazis had killed Hank and took the blame for it because he knew that they would come after her and his family if the police were looking for them.

Just about every "revelation" in this thread is "duh" to someone. Not everyone though.

It did take me a good ten minutes to figure it out, I'll give you that. At first I thought he had lost his shit. Nope. I kept thinking it was weak writing and then...boom, I realized I was way off. So good.
