[It seems we have a mole](http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukelewis/this-breaking-bad-theory-is-pretty-mindblowing). Although apparently one of the commenters thinks the theory originated on Reddit. ---

Whoa. Yeah, I’m pretty sure I first heard that theory from either Reddit or Hitfix. Certainly not my own original thought, I haven’t had one of those in years. ---

Not sure why this is in the Game Room, moving it to Cafe Society. ---

As many have noticed, Walt is also not wearing his wedding ringin the diner scene. ---

Now the SDMB has been cited on [Grantland](http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/84374/breaking-bad-precap-episode-510-prepare-yourselves-for-there-are-only-seven-more-episodes-left) regarding the same theory, citing [Bob’s original thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=667743). ---

What about the ten people killed in prison? Did he take on any of their traits? ---

It’s kind of crazy, I’m really excited by the attention (because I love attention, duh) but almost nobody in my real life knows my username here so I can’t brag on it anywhere. White people problems, I guess. Besides Grantland, it’s been written about in several other places as well and also has gotten a lot of action in some Reddit threads. And Buzzfeed just put out a [follow-up “list-icle”](http://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/breaking-bad-easter-eggs-that-will-blow-your-mind) based on it with recap photos of each bit that re-references the first post (though leaves out my username). I’m wondering if there will be any attention to the theory after the fact if it turns out to be right? ---

It was also referenced (with a link to the Buzzfeed quote ) on the _Television Without Pity_ episode [recap](http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/breaking-bad/blood-money-2-5x/). ---

About Walt taking on traits: \*\*Crawlspace \*\*pointed out over [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16566647&postcount=135) that Walt actually picks up his signature goatee from Jane’s dad. Which is interesting, since it’s not someone he killed personally, but certainly someone who was connected to a lot of death and devastation that Walt had a hand in causing, directly or indirectly. So if the picking up traits thing can work in a more indirect fashion, maybe Walt doesn’t have to personally murder Skyler to be using her name, although I certainly think she will come a sticky end and that Walt will cause it in some way, willingly or otherwise. ---

I just got finished watching episode 103 (…and the bag’s in the river). I would point out that Crazy-8 never asked for his crusts to be cut off, Walt just did it. So when we see him cut his own crusts off in season 3, it just looks like a personal preference… ---
