I love how you just can't lose complete sympathy for Walt. Just when you think he has gone full Heisenberg in his conversation with Skylar, you see the tearing of his soul in half as he comes to the realization of the day's events and what he has done or been responsible for.

I know I should hate Walt, but I just can't fully cross that line. I'm not nearly as fond of the character as I once was, and that all started with him letting Jane die. Still, I want Walt to redeem himself on some level and go out in a blaze.

That and he was tearing up and became visibly upset at his own notion that "You will never see Hank again". As uncomfortable as it makes him, he still has to exert a sense of power and control as he tries to deal with and escape the situation.

This show is absolutely amazing.
Why is his family in danger from Jack's crew? I thought they were "square"?

That phone call was Skyler's Get Out of Jail card.

Most intense episode of television I've ever watched. Holy crap.

Ya. At first blush I took it at face value; that he was genuinely irate that she'd stood in his way. But upon reflection I think you're right, he knows he's dying and wanted to ensure she would be there for his children, even if that meant piling all the blame for everything squarely upon himself

Because they may be thinking Skylar will lead the cops to them, or be a witness.

I think that was actually more about what the phone call was about. Trying to keep Skylar from talking to the cops for her own safety. I also don't think that we were supposed to think Walt's actions were all calculated, and that a lot of #######ness was real.

With Walt having fled, and the cops knowing pretty much everything about him through Skylar, I would think that the Aryans aren't going to think twice about eliminating a key witness that could bring the heat down on them.

Crap man. I truly thought Gilligan would make us jump off the Walt bandwagon once and for all and that he killed Holly.

What an AWESOME episode. Only problem is they don't show who the cleaner in the Toyota Previa is!!!

What an episode...

I have a feeling Jesse is going to take care of Jack's crew with some "Yeah, science, bitch" trick he learned from Walt. Perhaps that magnesium bomb they once used. Just seems fitting, and it would set up a final showdown between Walt and Jesse. I always thought the Walt would square off against Hank, but Jesse seems just as fitting. It all started with Jesse. It should end that way too
