Breaking Bad Fortune Telling...
If you've seen the new videos, then what are you're predictions? Walt burning the money has to be over Skyler leaving, right? And here comes Gus to offer more money than ever. If Skyler isn't with him, then what's the use of being Walt at all? Why not reveal Heisenberg (Scarface part II)?
In the stills that are up it looks like they are shedding Jesse's brightly designed urban jackets for some toned down neutrals, which makes me think that he's not just going into a depression, but rather move toward his only real friend and father figure, Walt. I think he will not be so timid anymore, instead he will be more ruthless.
As for Hank I hope he can get past the trauma and start to see who the villains really are. The truth is right in front of him. He needs to step back to see the full picture of who his buddy Walt really is. Remember that Hank is the real hero and Walt is the demented Joker.
Do you agree?










Oh, nice curve ball, laz. Comparing Hank (Batman) to Walt (Joker).
Didn't Saul funnel Walt's money into the pen pal account.
Who's money could it be?... Jesse's?
Not like Walt to destroy money after all the whining he did when Skinny Pete came in light.
Could it be that the money Walt gets from Gus consists of marked bills that he doesn't dare spend?
So if Hank is Batman and Walt is the Joker, dose that make Jesse the Riddler?
I think Walt will tell the truth to Skyler and all the stuff that has happened in the last two seasons will have just been the genesis of the revelation of Heisenberg. That has to be his money that he's burning because Dr. Jekyll hates Mr. Hyde, but Hyde is much too strong to let that happen. I think that's where Gus comes in and "Murphy's Law" starts to come into play. His cancer is in remission and he should just walk away, but he loves the rush.
Oh and as for Jesse being the Riddler...I think he would get lost in his own turtleneck sweater. Maybe the Penguin, you know always lagging behind the Joker with a sad backstory of the parents who didn't really want him.
Walt may come to realize that the money he has made does not compensate for the loss of family. In his case his delusions over the value of money has led to the loss of family. Walt may realize that money is fake, family is real. And, make the adjustments in his criminal life to bring his family back.
1st Prediction: I think the teaser of Walt burning the money could plausibly transpire after he sees the picture on the news of the Air Traffic Controller who, distraught with grief after the death of his daughter, accidentally crashes 2 planes together over ABQ.
When Walt realizes that he is indirectly to blame, or rather that his (in)actions caused a chain of events that led to hundreds of people dying, he might burn the money realizing that it was his quest for that money that led to all those deaths, the destruction of his family, etc.
2nd Prediction: (based on the teaser of Gus offering Walt $3 Million for 3 months of his time) After burning his money, Walt will suddenly find himself in need of a lot of money for one reason or another (additional cancer treatments, lawyer's fees, alimony, who knows), and then he will be reminded of why he needed cash in the first place. You can't do much in this world without cash. Does he want to go back to doing wipe-downs, or does he know an easier, more prideful way of making 'fat stacks'? He will accept Gus's offer.
Lastly, I still have to ask; What was Vince Gilligan trying to tell us with the Pink Teddy Bear? What was the meaning behind Breaking Bad's 'Pink Herring'? If it was a clue, what was it a clue to? I identified Pink Teddy Bears in a number of places throughout the show, but I think the one that jumped out at me the most was the one in his daughter's crib. Is there a chance that his daughter and Skyler were on that plane? Skyler told Walt that she would be staying with Hank & Marie, but then she cryptically added that he would have 3 days to move his things. Why 3 days? Seems like a very deliberate number. Could it be that Marie was in El Paso, or that she lied about staying with Hank so she could go somewhere with Ted?
The reason Walt made all that money in the first place, was for his family. If his family were dead (as a result of his cash-generating efforts), wouldn't that be a good reason (in Walt's mind) to burn the money?
The point of the whole show, in some respect, asks us to ask ourselves-What really is right and wrong?
So when it comes to the whole villain thing, I wouldn't call anyone like Walt a villain, hes still the protagonist.
What I'd really like to know, is what significance does that pink teddy bear have? I saw it somewhere in the 1st season I think...
First off I love this show! I do believe what Walt is doing is wrong so i get the joker concept. But I think Walt is really enjoying himself and his alter ego. He seemed dissapointed when he found out he no longer had cancer,and i dont think it was because he felt it was all in vain he knew he would have to stop and he dont want to!
I think Hank has some demons that we haven't seen yet...
The beauty of this show (and what I find so clever) is how they are able to convey the inconsistancies, weaknesses, flaws in the different characters, as well as the good points. They are able to show the flip side of the same coin. For me, it really makes me feel a sense of compassion for them, seeing thier internal struggles and conflicts.
