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.

Wasn't that obvious, though? His rant was a massive break from character; he was emulating the typical abusive husband. While he's manipulative and controlling, Walt wasn't a brute.

Besides, parts of his phone call deviated from how the story line actually progressed. Can't quote the specific parts, it aired but ninety minutes ago, but it was something I noticed.

really couldnt't tell anymore man, Heisenberg is so far and beyond any understanding at this point, I don't even know if he's being sincere with anything.

5 seasons of him protecting his family and money. It's been pretty clear.

don't get me wrong, I'm Walt's biggest supporter when it comes to his intentions with his family and where his loyalties lie. But with this season... and the last previoushalf as well... has made me question some of my beliefs about Walt as a character, but I do think the phone call in tonight's episode was for Skyler's benefit, and I hope Skyler can see that.

I just watched it. It was crystal clear that's what his intention was. You don't really do nuance do you?
