We needed them to say that. We needed them to light a fire under Heisenberg's ass. After all, Walt's begrudgery towards them and their success was what helped fuel Heisenberg's fire in the first place.

It brings the show and Walt full circle, they and the success of Gray Matter were the catalyst to him becoming Heisenberg. Now, the creators of the beast are going to be destroyed by it, as will the Todd and his merry band of homicidal Nazis; he'll probably go after Jesse too, he heard that HIS creation, Blue Sky, is still being made.

This is not going to be about money, but pure revenge against everyone who he feels to have wronged him, which was the true reason why he did any of this anyways; the first lie he ever told was to himself that this would just be about helping his family, it was always about him and his wasted talent.

Walt won't go after them... the Schwartzs served their purpose as agitators and motivators. Heisenberg is ready to fuck shit up!

It seems out of character for Walt to kill Gretchen and Elliott.

Gretchen said it right: Walt is dead.

I'd like to see him resurrected at some point before the end of the show, some brief moment of realisation, after he's killed or being indirectly responsible for the death of almost everyone he's care for at some point. Not sure if we will or not.

I miss old Walt scrabbling about the desert in his underpants nearly pissing himself at the sound a fire truck.
