    There was a great sense of dread throughout the entire episode. Cannot freaking wait for the next half of the season :D

    I find it disturbing that Walt kept a gift from a man he had killed, a man who was incredibly fond of him too. Imagine reading that note from a man you killed on a regular basis. Walt is some piece of work.

    Also anybody know the song playing in the background during the final scene next to the pool?

    up the junction by squeeze.

    great episode.

    Is there a chance that Walt never bothered to look inside the book?
    Like in Hazard Pay did he just look at it and think "Toilet material!"

    Because think about it, does anyone ever read the books they stick in their bog? Or was there a scene which i'm forgetting which Walt knew what it was inscribed with?

    He's reading it way back in season 3.

    I thought the toilet was not going to flush, and Hank was going to open the cistern to fix it. I remember Walt hiding a phone there once.

    The final scene was class. Tortuous waiting 10 months, and largely unfair to its loyal fans. 8 & 8 is taking the píss.

    Just gonna drop this here: :cool:

    I have a feeling episode 8 of this years portion will end with 1 of 2 scenarios;
    Hank figuring it all out or Marie being killed. I know some are saying skyler but I think it's too predictable for this show.

    I don't know where I heard that if there is a gun hanging on a wall or in a desk drawer at the start of a story or a film, then somebody is going to get shot. That's what I'm thinking when I see Walt carefully replacing the vial of ricin behind the electrical socket after his meeting with Lydia. There was no need for them to show us that. It must have some significance. Somebody's going to get ricin'd in the last 8 episodes. Maybe Hank.

    I really hope that storage locker shows up in the series storage wars.

    From Reddit...

    What we all thought when we saw this scene last night!

    For some reason when Hank picked up the Walt Whitman, Gale giving it to Hank never fully dawned on me. I couldn't help but think he did he leave the list of names in there? Jesus Walt.. can't you take a dump without thinking of business.

    EDIT: Never seen this shot before... very cool!

    No, it wasn't.... but for some reason, I couldn't help but think is that why Hank would find in the book.

    If the blue meth ever gets replaced with purple meth Hank should just arrest Marie straight away. :pac:

    No, you've got it a bit mixed up. The book is given to Walt in season 3 by Gale after he recites a poem by Walt Whitman in the lab (not sure if we see him handing him the book on camera). We do see Walt reading it in season 3 though, but can't remember which episode.

    The above image is Walt finding the book when packing to move back home in season 5 episode 3. Basically, that was a nod to the audience of what was to come.

    Hank's reference to W.W. comes from Gale's lab book, which the DEA were using as evidence in his murder case.



    When he reads the WW. and GB. initials in Walt's book, it clicks.

    Is it definitely Gale? The writing is completely different. Look in particular at how the 'y' is formed in 'my'. Gales' is also neater.

    That would be an awful ending to the show if it wasn't Gales handwriting.

    One thing I was confused about. Why did Walt have the Ricin with him at the meeting with Lydia? Was he intending on poisoning her if she didn't say the right things?

    It might not mean anything but they are different.

    Regardless, if it was a different GB the end result was the same.

    I would say that he was going to poison her as soon as she gave him the 9 names, but then she changed his mind with the Czech Republic thing.

    I just googled Czech Republic and Crystal meth and apparently its true that its very popular there.

    I think that's over analysing it a bit, I thought I was bad for it :pac:

    I think that's exactly what he was planning on doing until she convinced him of her worth. I think his initial plan was to meet her, get the list and dose her with the ricin . The script was playing with dramatic irony when he sneeringly asked her if she really thought he was going to "kill her right here, in front of all these people" and it became clear that is precisely what he planned to do.

    Am I the only one who doesn't quite believe Walt would have forgotten something so big as a book being left in his house from Gale ?

    Is it plausible that the book is not from Gale, but a different GB ? it looked like an old book.....

    No. :)

    also was slightly confused while watching the show about the lenght of time that passed in the show, they did a montage and then when marie said she had had the kids for 3 months! i was surprised in that it was unusual for such a long length of time to pass in one episode, so they it showed walt cooking atleast a third of the methalmin, that he promised the gangster he would, so he was able to just walk away from that deal?
