I don’t think the Walt character is redeemable at all now (well, not to me)
I’m curious what will happen with Walt Jr, though I don’t think he’ll be a part of next week’s episode. I don’t think the writers would just leave Jr & Holly as unresolved loose ends next year.
I loved how Skyler just left when Walt tried to talk about Todd, as if he were talking about a particularly bright high school student.
I must have missed it but what tipped the DEA to Wachberger (the lawyer who flipped)?
That song is about a man who attempts suicide by jumping in a river then immediately changes his mind, struggles to stay afloat, and eventually ends up drifting lazily downriver on his back.
I’m wondering if there was some symbolism there. Why else use a Monkees tune of all things?
2 more comments I forgot to mention before - so good to see Jesse not falling for Walt’s bullshit .
Also, Kaylee is one more child hurt by Walter’s ego and hubris.
Are they cooking in the car wash now; maybe the second floor? They’re storing the methylamine there but I’m not sure that they’re cooking there.
Hank told Gomez how come there’s only one lawyer for 9 guys? Maybe we should watch the lawyer. And they did.
If not redeemable, then remorseful?
The thing is, I still want to like Walt!
And, in some ways I do, too… not unlike the dichotomy of character of Tony Soprano. One minute, you’re reveling in everything he does until he mercilessly beats or murders someone, then you’re like, “oh right, he’s a Mob Boss.”
Something will rattle Walt back down to humility. It might take the death of his wife or family, but the 52 yo glimpse of Walt didn’t seem like the confident, cocky Heisenberg of this season.
Mike probably had Wachberger representing him when they first questioned him.
Gomie and Hank have a talk about how none of the crew is flipping. Someone must be keeping them in line. Then Hank notes they all have the same lawyer and tells Gomie to put a tail on him.
I think Gomez mentioned that the 9 guys all had the same lawyer, except Mike. That detail was suspicious enough for Hank to order a tail on Wachberger.
They weren’t storing it there, Walt was hiding it there for a day.
No, Saul is Mike’s lawyer. Wachberger was the lawyer for all of the Nine.
No, because in a later scene, they show him and Todd cooking in someone’s house.
So, is the end-game for these first 8 eps. to somehow kill the nine guys.
Are they all doing time in prison, too?
I didn’t catch that they were in a house. So presumably they’re still cooking in the homes of the exterminator companies.
All of Mike’s jailed crew were using this one lawyer, and Mike wasn’t, and to the DEA that looked suspicious.
I just recently started watching this show, and I can’t believe the level of tension it builds up. If I actually cared about any of the characters it would be almost unbearable 
Here’s an informal poll, inspired by this season’s episodes.
To save your life, you have to eat either a plate of bacon-banana cookies, or some “Franch” dressing. Which do you choose?
I loved how, in the scene with Walt and Jesse, Walt cycled through his entire Rolodex of manipulation techniques. 1) Ignore the problem: “We should clean these tanks better.” 2) Build up Jesse: “We should set you up with your own lab! You’re just as good as me.” 3) Tear down Jesse: “You have no one. How long till you start using again?” 4) Tempt with money: “If you leave now, you get nothing!” Great writing.
For me, this episode is a turning point in the show. For the first time, Walt has murdered someone in a fit of pique. Up to now, he’s killed only in desperation, when he’s being threatened. Now he’s just a killer. He killed Mike for no reason at all, in annoyance. There’s no coming back from that.
As for Kaylee Ehrmantraut, I think it’s a real stretch to argue that Walt’s hurt her. Preventing a murderous drug-running grandfather from passing on his blood money does not rate with, say, poisoning Brock. While I think Walt’s turned a real corner into sociopathy by killing Mike, we also shouldn’t forget that while Mike’s an awesome character, he’s also a dead-eyed murderer who was prefectly prepared to execute both Walt and Jesse on Gus Fring’s say so.
My problem with Walt killing Mike is that it was done on impulse. It’s out of character, and having Mike berate Walt for fucking things up isn’t enough to make Walt lose his shit like that. The writers had to write Mike out of the show, and they had to make Walt even more unsympathetic. Voila.
My other problem was that it was telegraphed. As soon as Walt saw the gun in Mike’s bag, we knew what would happen.
I’m skeptical that Mike didn’t keep his go-bag with him. Not the gun, of course, but some cash and his passport – there’s no need to hide those things. It’s not against the law to carry cash and a passport.
I’m also skeptical that Mike managed to lose the cops at the park. The place should have been surrounded with locals and feds, not just a couple of police cars.
And again, Walt says all the wrong things in trying to keep Jesse with him. Jesse has Walt’s number, and the thing I’m most curious about is what happens next with them. I’d love for Jesse and Skyler to connect, as you guys have suggested.
No, they’re all awaiting trial in jail, unless some of them got busted for a parole violation. I don’t see how Walt & co. could possibly kill all nine while they’re in custody. That’s why Lydia was trying to do it before they got picked up.
