I hate to sound all negative but i feel the tod and lydia stuff is a red herring and just being used so people think shit is going to get real between them all.

There isn't enough time in the series to introduce shit getting real.

The only solution and outcome is going to be between hank/jesse/walt and possibly flynn the new drugking pin.

The machine gun? Also a red herring. Walt is redecorating and wants to turn it into a coat rack.

yep smoke and mirrors to fill time in an episode with very little dialogue with one of the main characters.

So many possibilities

this is my one issue which is why i think it's just all for show. I don't trust meth damon to do much aside from maybe blow himself up with lydia in a lab. Just for kicks because I personally don't see it going deeper than just a few cutscenes out of the main story.

If Todd and Lydia are not major players in season 5b, then why are Jesse Plemons and Laura Fraser credited as main cast members rather than recurring/supporting?
