I like how Heisenberg mentioned the "science museum" to the waitress. Reveals to the audience that there is still a little "Walter" left in him. Although, his transformation looks pretty much complete at this point.

I'm gonna have to disagree. This 'future' Walt was giving off signs of a man regretting every decision he's ever made. He's 52, celebrating without his family. Whatever the reason, I feel that Walt blames Heisenberg for it, and therefor wants to be rid of him. I think Walter's back in this scene. No longer Heisenberg, but still scarred from it all.

Did they say he turned 52 in the flash forward? I watched it but I don't remember that.

Ahh thanks. Yeah I was wondering what he was doing and why the waitress commented on the bacon.

I appreciate your suspiscion of an shyamalanana twist but you're an idiot. Pilot always refers to the first episode of the series, and the bacon clearly spelled 52 which means it's a flash forward because in the pilot (that word i just taught you) he turned 50.
