    The whole, "say my name" to the distribution/competitor guy is going to not end well for Walt.

      few more thoughts now that i've rewatched it and had some time to think.

       
      I really dont like what happened with Mike, but he brought it on himself. the plastic band tie thing was stupid in so many ways:

      1) Mike would know better. Mr. chemistry teacher over here who has made a name for himself doing crazy shit with science, and you're just gonna tie him with a fucking zip tie? you wouldnt use handcuffs? straps? straight jacket? you wouldnt lock him into a room that has no way out? you mean he couldnt find someplace like that on the way to deliver his smokescreen to the DEA? more importantly: why did he even let Walt live at all? there was literally 0 reason to keep Walt around as far as Mike is concerned. Mike was there when the cartel tested jesse's meth ; even if Mike didnt want to get out of the game, he knew better than even Walt does how good Jesse is at cooking. And if he was selling out, just ace Walt and split his share with Jesse. Not only would Mike have absolutely loved to do it, but who is going to miss him? Skylar wouldnt report him missing. I mean, Mike could have shown up at the door and said "i am here to kill Walter" and her response would be something like "let me help you do it!" and then she'd drink another glass of wine.

      also, why did Mike not have a gun drawn as he took the bag from Walt? he had one on him. why on earth would you leave your last interaction with an egomaniac like Walt to chance?

      I get that he had to go, and I loved Bryan Cransons performance. his look of shock when it happened, that sense that "fuck, i just did something REALLY bad and i cant fix it" and maybe even a hint of realization that his ego caused a massive mistake (if he can even percieve his own ego, which is, at this point, quite justifiably doubtful).

      Im just bummed out to lose my favorite character not named Jesse (who also hasn't been written particularly well this season ; perhaps that will change now that Walt just drove everyone off a cliff) and I just dont see a methodical, practical and hardcore veteran like Mike getting got by a science major who has some of the best luck of any televised character ever.

        Not as good as Jessie and the water, but this bit still cracked me up.

              I love this fucking show.
              That is what the entire show is based on...Walt being bought out by Grey Matter and his hubris in an attempt to make up for it through the meth business.

                When the lawyer came to the bank the 2nd time with sweet snacks again, I got that eerie feeling that something huge was going down. This led to Mike ditching his granddaughter

                After Mike grabbed his bag from Walt forcefully, I thought that was it for Mike on the show.

                Was not excepting Walt to cap him even after they showed Walt look at Mike's gun in the bag.

                Really awesome scene with Mike & Walt staring off in the distance.

                        These fucking theories always blow my mind. I still stand by Jesse surviving all of this even if that's some pressing evidence.

                          I don't know if he'll live, but i believe he won't die until the end.

                              If Warren Sapp starts watching this show, it's because of me.
