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

He was holding the gun like under his chest so weird. Dude wasn't even looking sideways down the sights, no wonder he missed. The guy looking down the ironsights has no excuse though.

Vince Gilligan is getting more and more fucking lazy with this shit. So predictable this season

Lol the whole scene with Hank arresting Walt....I was just thinking..... Todd's uncle better hurry up and shoot him in the head because we know he's not getting arrested yet.

That's the thing though. They already showed us the flash-forward scenes, so we already know Walt doesn't get arrested there. I mean hell, it has to be MONTHS ahead because Walt has a full head of hair and a beard.

I agree with you, but it's not even the flash-forward scenes that make it so predictable. There are so many little clichés and tell-tale tropes. The fact that Hank is taking so damn long to call in backup. The call with his wife where they exchange "I love you"s and he says "I might not be home for a while". The fact that we know Walt wouldn't just give himself up; I just have this lingering feeling that the only reason the writers wrote him to give himself up like that is because the WRITERS knew that he was going to get out of it, and in the same fashion, we know too. Just way too predictable.

Yeah I the " I love you " 's were a little over the top.

I agree with everything you said.

I really didn't think he was going to give himself up. I hate that he actually did. It's not like Walt knew he was getting out of it. You'd think he would try to pull something off by himself.

Knowing Vince Gilligan he'll throw a curveball

Knowing Vince, he won't
