Breaking Bad

The thing that made that scene even more poignant was seeing how Skyler and her children were basically fine. From the very beginning, Walt convinced himself that his death would leave his family completely destitute, which lead to him calculating exactly how much money he needed to raise so they would be taken care of. Yet, here they are, several months later, Walt gone from their lives and without a cent of his money, and somehow they've managed. Not only that, but they've been able to manage in much worse circumstances than had Walt dropped dead immediately after his cancer diagnosis.

isn't this cuz the gov't basically had to step in and do something? either assistance or whatever. Wasn't that house on mortgage? i'm assuming it was since most mortgages in the real world are like 20-30 years and breakfast walt wasn't 16 yet, so he was probably just thinking about how is she gonna pay for bills, omg she gonna loose the house and blah blah. I mean the gov't set them up in an apt which is way more managable for a single earner (skylar being a taxi dispatcher) to keep up with supporting a 16 yr old and a 1yr old. It was even said that the neighbor watches the kid when skylar works, that is far from the life he envisioned for them, remember b4 the cancer he was working 2 jobs to keep that comfortable lifestyle for his family.

so i believe we have 3 instances of walt + brain = badass.

1. white methbomb at tuco's place
2. wheelchair ring ding bomb
3. m60 sentry gun

call me nostalgic but white methbomb is still my favorite.

is it explained anywhere, how he obtained the location of skylar and how he suddenly has ninja skills to sneak into a house to say hi?

the gretchen scenes were great, it basically cemented that walt truly had the last laugh, they personally knew walt, and i'm sure they've seen his bevy of emotions, they know how bad they wronged him (we still don't) and how angry he can be. Now he is basically heisenberg, the meth kingpin that has admitted to killing his own brother in law a 15year long relationship.

also if we think really far back, i don't think that money is even clean, it hasn't been laundered at all since skylar says she couldn't do anything with it, so he's getting grey matter to clean his money too.

i found it ironic that the only 2 known associates he could trust and work with were skinny pete and badger, which were jesse's best friends and distribution partners. But i guess they served a lot of purposes, such as street intel (blue meth is on the street and good) and information about jessie. which i also believe is a blooper. badger said "i thought he went to alaska" but that was supposed to be a secret between jessie/saul and the cleaner. Remember right before the euridite took the dope and after saul gave him the hello kitty phone, he's like where do you want to go? florida sounds nice and jessie says... how about alaska?

They're billionaires. They don't need to launder $9 million

but that's how billionaires launder 9million, they just dump it into their bank account and no one bat's an eye cuz it's 1% of their net worth. and they'll happily do it cuz they fear heisenberg

working so hard and down to the last cent that you only eat 10c ramen and only getting 5k for your stake in the company? i say they did some kind of rich white person fucking over to walt.
