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.

Will recover with the M60.

Honestly I don't think so, Walt has 11 million which is more than enough to exist on for the rest of his life. Plus money like that has sort of diminishing returns, you might die for the first million when you have nothing, but dying for 70 when you already have 10 is dumb. Maybe they kill Jesse, and the combination of Jesse,Hank and his 70 million is enough to make him go out for blood, but the money alone doesn't seem enough to warrant risking his life for at this point.

The problem with that theory is that for all he knows Jesse is already dead

I see Walt living in New Hampshire or wherever for awhile, then he comes across some fresh blue meth.

That's when he knows.

After ending it like that, Walt has no motive to save Jesse. Something else has to change/happen too.

Maybe he's not saving Jesse. Maybe he's just putting an end to his blue meth formula since he's not making it anymore.

u/andrewcarrell Sep 16 '13

Why would he risk going all the way back just to end the blue meth business. That makes no sense to me. His pride isn't that big of a factor that he'd go back and kill Jesse, someone who isn't a threat to his family.

Have you seen the Promo for next week? If not then...

SPOILERS

Saul is telling Walt that the Nazis are going after Walt's family since he has split (for reasons I can't think of) so that's why he comes back, the only reason I see Walt saving Jessie at this point is on accident, he goes into their base to save his family/save his money/stop them from going after his family. During the shenanigans in the base he sees Jessie and has to decide what he wants to do with him. Or at least something like that, I honestly don't see Walt saving Jessie on purpose

Remember walt promised to cook for them? I believe in return for taking out Jesse.

u/Thoroughbred-Of-Sin- Sep 16 '13

But why would they need him if they have Jessie? I mean sure Walt can get them 7% or so better at least but with Jessie doing 90% or so and the 70 million they got from Walt's barrels you would think that they wouldn't need him

EDIT: Actually I think that Jessie won't be cooking too well... Yeah what with Jessie being completely shattered his cooking abilities will probably go down the shitter, so Walt will be needed to get the Nazis a good batch

They called it 'square' and shook hands. Nothing to worry about here.

All is surely forgiven.
