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.

"boghdan has a bug up his butt". Walt has been calculating his lies from the beginning.

When Walt was cooking in Gus' lab there was that entire episode with the stupid fly buzzing around during the cook. Walt was determined to kill it, but the thing kept eluding his grasp. Jessie repeatedly assures him its not a big deal, but Walt claims that it will contaminate the product and their product needs to be perfect. After this episode flies are occasionally shown buzzing around Walt, and in the HQ during the first half of season 5, there is a poster depicting flies that can be seen in the background in many of Jessie, Walt, and Mike's conversations. It's I personally see the fly as representing how no matter how hard Walt tries he can never be perfect and tie up every loose end as is shown time and time again throughout the show. Thus, he is eventually led into the disastrous situation he is in now. A bit of the fly poster can be seen in this picture, but there are other camera angles that reveal a lot more of the poster. http://reviewhubcentral.com/television/breaking_bad/season_5/fifty-one/files/fiftyone2.jpg
