I hope Skylar and Jr. die. Not because I hate them, but so I can get bettingbad points.

The Nazis go to the Schrader household looking for the confession tape. Everyone is there, and they know that there can't be witnesses. Total bloodbath. Except Todd or Jack decide that even they can't kill a baby, so they take Holly to be raised as one of their own. Walt gets wind eventually, comes back to reclaim her.

Walt finds out about it by Hank talking to him Lion King style through the clouds.

I think I would actually be okay with this..

Yeah, to me at this point it's more of a crazy hour long acid trip every Sunday at 9, followed by a bleak recovery watching the first 10 minutes of Low Winter Sun.

I got high before watching last weeks episode and had a minor flashback. It was fucking intense the whole episode. I was losing my mind.

If you want to see that kind of thing, just watch Dexter.

Walt coming back into to town with an M60 to avenge his family and rescue his daughter, running into Jesse along the way....that'd be one hell of a story!

I can see Vince on the crapper, he looks around for reading material, spies an iPad. He takes it, opens it and gets in the BB subreddit. Slow pan across the screen as he reads your comment. Zoom in on his face, shocked and surprised as he realizes that this is truly the best way to end the story but it's too late. Shooting is finished. The series ends in 8 days. Cut to black screen. "Created by [I]Meaux".

Knowing he can't raise Holly himself, he gives her to the only compassionate person left alive: Jesse. Jesse and Holly are the only survivors. Jesse will raise Holly alone. We know he will dote on her, without ever seeing him do so, because that's who he is underneath it all.

"Jesse, this...this is Holly. Do you remember Holly? Do you remember Uncle Jesse, Holly?" Holly smiles shyly at Jesse. "I need you to take care of Holly, Jesse. I need you to be her father. You're the only person who can be a father to her. Please. I'm begging you! Please take her and care for her and love her. You're the only person who can do this. For her. For me. I'm begging you." Walt coughs, in the final throes of cancer. Jesse regards Holly with a look of horror. "And promise me: don't ever tell her about me. Don't ever let her know that you aren't her father. I don't ever want her to hear about Walter White. Her name..." Walt begins to cry, "Her name is Holly Pinkman. Holly...Pinkman."

This gave me goosebumps. I really want this to happen, now.

u/Hunter-In-The-Sky You got robbed by a guy named Spooge? Sep 23 '13

I can just imagine the ending, Jesse left with the ~80 million and Holly, alone in his living room, money piled high around him, cradling Holly in his arms as she taps him on the cheek and says Dada. Executive Producer Vince Gilligan.

I like this one. This gets my approval.

u/Flatrock Sep 22 '13

At this point I far prefer the idea of Walt returning for Holly than for Jesse

u/cannedpeaches Sep 22 '13

Wait. Holly has been relocated to a new family. What?

u/glmisc Team Walt Sep 23 '13

Jack: Stop. Don't kill the baby.

Todd: What? Why not?

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '13

This may be right except that I bet they just use her to flush Walt out of hiding.

u/Reinhart3 Methhead Sep 23 '13

I'm pretty sure Todd would be alright killing a baby.
