The producers and cast have repeatedly promised that the season will be explosive, and from the mouth of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul themselves, it's going to be a "bloodbath", unlikely to end well for anyone, except for the fans, of course, who will be "####ting uncontrollably." Creator Vince Gilligan himself said that we should "expect more German accents than Spanish" as the season starts, as it was revealed that they will be heading to Germany for the second episode.
Perhaps the flash forward in episode one suggesting a showdown between Walt and "The Germans" ? ?
