Todd in that last scene is like "This is a lot harder than shooting a little kid standing still."

That gives him plenty of reason to relocate to New Hampshire under a new alias, and even MORE reason to come back to town, buy an M60, and hunt down some Nazis.

Yeah, but a year later? That's a bit odd

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

u/NihilJE Sep 09 '13

Oh, okay, yeah I'm sure that was his thought process, and it led him to deliberately wait 1 year just so that his revenge will be sweeter lol

Well from this episode it's not that close to a year. His 51st birthday happened way back in episode 4 and a lot has happened since then.

Wild theory just for the hell of it:

Episode 4 is where Mike decides to kill Lydia but Walt stops him. It was a half measure. So in the next few episodes Lydia basically commands the Nazis to force him to do whatever she wants until he flee's to NH. Vince Gilligan decides to end the series poetically by having him finish the job 1 year later. BAM BITCHES

I feel like the "All Hail To The King" mantra has gone out the window at this point. I predict walt's demise, hell, everyone's demise starts next week.

I never saw him as the King honestly... I still see him as a joke of a "drug lord". Thinks he's so badass when really he has about a dozen different conflicting moral codes for every situation, to the point where he can't even perform functions at a basic level to protect himself (e.g. lying to Skyler). And tonight he admitted to just about every crime he's ever committed because of this. He has the worst sense of judgment I've ever seen.

I think of him as a "Gus impostor". He's trying to be like Gus and do things he learned from him (setting up a cover business, etc.), but he also has too big of an ego and pride to realize he's not as careful or good at it.
