Thanks guys, a reporter from EW contacted me last week about it after it had already been featured on Buzzfeed and in some other places. Reporter was trying to locate original source of theory but we struck out so they went ahead and mentioned me and the Dope. I had the option of using my real name but decided to keep it more anonymous. ---

Very cool! How often does a post made on the SDMB resonate so much that it gets picked up by national media? It cracks me up how your original thread wasnā€™t very long lived and was mostly answered by naysayers, yet as the season plays out itā€™s looking more and more plausible. Iā€™m a firm believer that youā€™re correct. ---

I donā€™t use reddit and donā€™t know if thereā€™s a method to link to individual comments, so Iā€™ll just quote the most relevant ones. > [@](#): > > [ā€“]Im\_That\_Guy21 1477 points 1 year ago > ā€œLearn to take yes for an answer.ā€ - Mike, S04E02 > ā€œLearn to take yes for an answer.ā€ - Walt, S05E08 > [@](#): > > [ā€“]bluezfawkx 392 points 1 year ago > A bit more subtle butā€¦ > Walt took his whiskey clean when he got a drink with mike > Mike took his on the rocks. > In this episode, Walt took his on the rocks > [@](#): > > [ā€“]sudevsen 158 points 1 year ago > similar to Walt cutting the crust of the sandwiches after he killed Crazy-8 > [@](#): > > [ā€“]DiscursiveMind 38 points 1 year ago > So would that imply that he kills Skyler due to the bacon scene? Also, I didnā€™t look for where you might have first heard about it to knock you down a peg or anything. It was just that seeing that the reporter couldnā€™t track it down made me see it as a challenge. ---
