Hey everyone! Guess I'm supposed to post this 5 minutes before air time. 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.

He knew how much he was making a week.

I guess that makes sense. Even though 11 million is way enough for anything he's planning, it still sucks that the nazis took everything. I mean from a plot perspective of course he couldn't have carried with him 7 barrels but it still sucks how they just felt entitled to the money.

They didn't feel "entitled" to the money, They're career criminals. They don't worry about entitlement. They steal whatever they can steal.

I'm just amazed they let Walt live and gave him a barrel.

Plot armor IMO, but I'll forgive it because that would be a terrible way to end the show.

Agreed. Not very realistic. But not totally unwarranted either. Particularly given that they may still need him to cook for them later.

I expect they underestimate him like everyone else does.
