A lot of things become irrelevant when you're bleeding out, dying of cancer, and the feds are on their way
Um yeah, I pretty obviously meant the money could still be relevant to the living, not the dead or soon-to-be dead. But thanks for the clarification just the same.
The only ones Id imagine looking for that money now would be the DEA, and thats only if they know the money exists.
Precisely
I know I'm fantasizing, but you have at least three people left alive who know of its existence and have the luck, skills, and cunning to figure out where that money is and retrieve it.
(Please Mr. Gilligan, please give us more of this great show again some day.)
And please folks, this is not flame-worthy. I'm dreaming, 'kay?
I didn't think is was the right song for the moment, but I sure loved hearing it again after all these years.
You're right - Kuby (loved that they cast Bill Burr for that part) definitely knew about the money, they showed he and Huell laying on the pile of it in the storage facility.
But just like Huell, he wouldn't know that the Nazi's killed Hank and Gomez and stole Walt's loot.
But yeah, clearly they could connect those dots if someone wanted to continue the narrative.
After the police arrive to find the Nazi's shot (and Todd strangled) and Walt's body in the lab, Saul could clue in Kuby and Huell why Walt killed them. The three of them would presumably be the only ones to go after the cash and thus they'd have all the time they needed to track it down.
The money became irrelevant because his life became irrelevant in the larger scheme. $10M in a trust for Jr. in 10 months will keep Jr, mom and baby happy for a long time.
Brilliant how they wrote that portion into the final. And everyone thought his motive was to kill them. Ha!
Just saw the finale. Great ending! Beautiful ending. That song (IMO) was perfect.
Guess I got what I deserve...my baby blue.
Just great!

I think Todd was getting ready to express to "Mr. White" how impressed he was with Walt's trunk contraption.
Todd didn't just "respect" Walt, he idolized him.

I almost think he was grateful and felt like he was freed from his uncle. Todd wanted to rule...
I'm only into season 3 ATM, but haven't been bothered by things. Does that make me a sociopath?
I felt the same way, but it gets worse.
I hope you didn't read the ten thousand spoilers in this thread!
..still, the heros (anti-heros) are bad guys...but I like 'em.
Gus & Mike? I liked them.

Todd's crew was sharp as a bowling ball...that's how Walt was able to expoit Jack's weakness (obsessed with those who are "rats"?).
Todd? Ya think he woulda grabbed a gun & started blastin'...instead, in Gomer Pyle-esque awe: "...golly, Mr. White...".
The shooting Neos in a barrel scene was the only time I remember seeing Todd with a look of fear on his face, then again while getting the life choked out of him. He's like a lost boy immediately after the shooting stops. He first says "Unca Jack..." then looks out the window and "Mr White..aacckk"
I've been obsessing lthis morning about wishing there was a way to learn more storyline. There probably is, graphic novels or whatever. I'd like to know more about:
1) What happened that made Walt leave Gretchen and her family years ago.
2) More about who Gus was. In the flashback (season 4) younger Hector says "we won't kill you because we know who you are". A lot has been hinted that he was a Chilean war criminal, but I wanna know more.
3) What happens to Jesse.
Etc.

1) I think the falling out between Walt and Gretchen was pretty simple. He was in love with her but she didn't feel the same way. That's my guess anyway.
2) I'm also very curious. Maybe he was from a prominent family? The son of a warlord?
3) I don't know. I want to have hope for him, but I don't think he's gonna make it. I don't think he's necessarily gonna become a junkie, or try to sell meth again, but I don't see him living a happy, normal life. He's damaged and has no one to turn to.
