Breaking Bad coming back

I just realized Jesse's DVD confession is likely in the hands of the DEA. He's Screwed.

I recall a scene with a destroyed video camera on the floor...someone help me here.

Last I remember, the Neo Nazis had the DVD/tape and were watching it at the compound, making fun of Jesse crying and calling him a rat.

The destroyed video camera was at Hank's house, after the neos broke in and took it.

I was thinking that Jesse is free and clear, but it just occured to me that the DVD is probably in the Nazis' DVD player. They may have destroyed it, considering Jesse said on tape that Todd was the one who killed Drew Sharpe, but if they didn't, Jesse's screwed. Hopefully he's on his way to Dexter's cabin in Oregon to lay low for a while.
 
I thought that maybe in the three (or so) months since the DVD party at Unca Jack's clubhouse, they had destroyed all of the evidence seized when they rifled through Hank's adobe abode. The Neos were smart as far as criminals go, but they were no rocket scientist Heisenberg-level thinkers.

And I'd bet Gustavo was a member of Pinochet's button men, maybe a General or at least a higher-up type of some kind. Great casting. Giancarlo Esposito was fit as a fiddle when he box cuttered Victor and his physique combined with the death staredown he had with Jesse made his character more believable.
 
I know that they've announced that the Saul spinoff is going to be a prequel, but I would love to see a spinoff showing Saul working at a Cinnabon in Nebraska who gets fed up with his dull life and contacts Huell and Kuby to go track down all that cash!
 
About Saul's new life, it kinda bothers me that the disappearer guy didn't have Saul get a haircut before taking the ID picture. Saul only seemed to operate in ABQ, but his face is very still recognizable, especially with his comb-over.
 
I think this is possible. The big flaw in your theory IMHO is it's more than a girl it's the research of oldest friends/colleagues .I color this line of thought this way.
Walt loves her deeply asks for her hand and her parents/brothers forbid the marriage because of his potential earnings. He runs out of the weekend getaway because of hurt ego.Never confesses to her out of hurt ego and quits his/their research, again out of ego and a inability to stand being around her.

But I like think there is more force behind the eluded story,more juice.



She came from money and I bet the snooty siblings and dad had attitudes that made Walt split. The "poon worth" scale in his head that weighs the pros and cons tilted to the wrong side.

True. Sorry, but I'm smiling real big right now because I think we said the same thing using different words. :D
 
Here's a simple twist on that one.

Dad has money invested in Grey Matter or WANTS money invested. Gretchan has disclosed that their on the edge of a breakthrough.Perhaps additional funding is needed to guarantee it. Dad manipulates Walt into leaving (Via above) and buys his shares... 5000$ Possibly 33%?? Better yet let's make Elliot evil. He wants Walt out and Gretchen for himself and is partially behind this scenario. I honestly think Gretchen doesn't really know anything,she seems full of integrity

Or maybe Gretch and company did nothing wrong but Walt's ginormous ego got in the way of success.
 
The scene with Jesse making the box, right before it flashes back to him in the lab....do you guys think it was meant to be a flash back? Simply showing Jesse during better days? Or was it meant as a day dream....Jesse in his happy place trying to drown out his misery.
There's not gonna be a definitive answer, but I'm leaning towards happy place. I bet Jesse was spending a lot of time there in his head after they shot Andrea.
