I posted this in the other discussion, but Ill go ahead and repost it:
"This is where we're at now.
Walter White is done. He is over. Bam. Ceased to exist.
A lot of people are going to say that this episode made Walter out to be a villain. An evil person. He gave up Jesse, and he essentially told Jesse the worst thing he could. He kidnapped Holly. He sent that last call to Skylar.
Think about it, though. In Walt's mind, it would be very easy for him to blame Jesse for Hank's death. Jesse was the person who called him and got him out there. Jesse was the one that "went rabid" and so very threatened Walt's very existence after what Walt saw as a very caring relationship. Jesse was the one that helped Hank get out there to get Walt.
It's very easy for somebody in Walt's position to not think clearly and give up the one that he could most simply place the blame on.
He kidnapped Holly, but Holly was the last possible link to a healthy family Walt could have left. His son went against him. His wife went against him. His brother is dead and his sister-in-law will absolutely have nothing to do with Walt after that. With Holly, he could at least raise her as if he was never Heisenberg. A fresh start.
But he gave her back, and he made that final call as Walter White.
The last known record of Walter White will be that call. The call where he spoke down to his wife for going against him and implied to the crime of murdering Hank Schrader. If there was ever a chance that Skyler could be the accessory to Walt; it is gone. There is absolutely no chance Skyler will ever be convicted of anything now. She is no longer an accessory; she is a hostage.
Walter White gave up his reputation to his family in order to protect his family's reputation. Skyler will never be seen as Skysenberg. She will be his victim. She will be stopped in the supermarket and hugged and told nice things, rather than potentially let off anyways and forever being an O.J. Simpson or similarly acquitted 'criminals'.
Walter White is a man. He isn't a great man. He isn't a bad man. He is a man. He is a father. He is a husband. Even at the final moment, when it was do or die. When it was his money; his TROPHY for what he did, he was still eagerly ready to ignore all logic and give up his money for his brother-in-law.
And we all know where it's going from here. We don't know the specifics, but we do know a few things...
Jesse is now a meth slave. He has to cook for the safety of HIS family. Jesse is now what Skyler expected Walt to become.
Walt has no family left. He is dead to Walter Jr. He is dead to Marie. He will never be more than a monster to Holly as she grows up. The only person who may see Walt as less than a monster is Skyler, but even that's based on the idea that she may one day think logically about her last contact with Walter and the fact that he gave back Holly.
Walter is coming back, and he is buying an M60, and he is retrieving the ricin.
He has one enemy left in the world.
Is Walt coming back to save Jesse? I doubt it. I don't see how the news that Jesse is a meth slave could EVER reach Walt.
No.
Walt is coming back for one thing and one thing only: he is dying, so he is going to go down avenging his brother-in-law. He'll probably end up saving Jesse, but that'll be something that just happens naturally.
No, Walt is coming back to kill Jack."
