    Again, there are easier ways to off yourself than a slow acting poison. And Walt committing suicide is anti climactic. If he dies, somebody else is taking him out.

    Using the Ricin for the Scwartz's makes a ton of sense. If Walt is going to go after them, I don't see them spending a lot of time on it. The focus will be on his confrontation with the Nazis as well as what happens to Jesse and his family. Wrapping up loose ends. I can see a scene were you see the Scwartz's getting very sick with the camera panning to the empty ricin container (or salt or sugar) to let you know that Walt poisoned them without us actually seeing him doing it (a la Brock). Possible final scene/reveal after Walt dies. His final act of evil.

    Kind of twisted too in that he refused their charity and chose to handle things himself by cooking meth. If he accepts their offer then he doesn't need to cook meth, none of this happens, and the Scwartz's don't die.

    Walt will take down the Nazis and in the process free Jesse. Jesse will kill Walt.

    I like the idea of the ricin being for the Shwartz.

    I wonder if the way Hesinberg kills Jack's gang will parallel the way Gus killed Don Elaido and his cartel.

    That was a bad ass scene.

    Remember, Gus, too was taking revenge for his "family" being killed.

    Walt winning a gun fire against Jack's men? Naw, I dont think so. Ricin would make sense. Also, Lydia needs to be taken care of.

    That will be used on the Gray Matter people.

    Honestly, that would be stupid. Injecting them into the final episode and wasting minutes of it so he could ricin them lacks impact and is silly. who cares about them at this point, and who cares if he gets revenge on them? they have been irrelevant characters in the show for the past several seasons.

    You must be forgetting a key moment last year when Walt talked about wanting to build an empire and dismissing Jesse's plea for him to be satisfied with a few million. Grey Matter's success and his lack of credit for it is integral to Walt's obsessive drive for power and money.

    Edit:

    Was referring to this scene:

    It lacks impact? His entire ego is built around what he feels those 2 cheated him out of years ago. Now Walt is willing to give himself up, and nearly does...until he sees them on national television sticking it in his face once again.

    You think that lacks impact and is silly?

    What show have you been watching?

    Jesse is an idiot. I mean he even had the picture right with him. What did he think that picture was for anyways? ...stupid.

    And others have mentioned.. if Walt simply drives up to the Nazi compound, gets out his M60 from the trunk, and starts running around, mowing down nazis, that will just be beyond ridiculous.

    Its obvious Walt will go to save Jesse. When they said on the tv that the blue meth was out there, he knows only Jesse can make it and therefore the Nazis didn't kill him like they said they would.

    Gus's poison was fast acting. It took minutes. Ricin takes at least a couple of days to kill you. Walt may be able to sneak it into the Schwartz coffee or something, but he's not sneaking up on the Nazi compound with it's security cameras, barbwire fences, and heavily armed inhabitants.

    Walt wanted the Nazis to kill Jesse, and he didn't care all too much if they tortured him first either. I don't see him going there to save him. Jesse probably blames all of this on him anyway.

    Maybe he just wants to go kill Jesse + the Nazis. He probably hates Jesse more than the Nazis anyways. But in the end, Jesse is going to be the one that kills him.

    I think you guys have something here. I think the ricin for the Scwartz's makes it more "rewarding" then for Lydia or Todd's crew. In a way, this comes full circle.

    Was it ever revealed (maybe I missed it), why Walt left the partnership (Grey Matters)?

    Walt does. He was ready to turn himself in until he saw them on TV. And it wasn't because it was mentioned that the blue meth was still out there. He was visibly angry at what they were saying.

    Gray Matter is kind of what started every thing in motion. He sold his stake for chump change and missed out on being a billionaire. That decision led to his mundane life as a high school teacher. Why he doesn't have the money or insurance to pay for cancer treatment which is why he cooks meth. It's what drives him to build his own empire. He lost his feeling of power and significance when he made the decision to sell out. He's very bitter about that and holds a lot of resentment for his old partners because of it. And now here they are on national TV saying that he had no role in the company. EVER. That pissed him off and he's not just going to let that stand.

    I agree that there are other major pieces to take care of, but for the Schartz's to be the reason Walt decides not to turn himself in and go back to New Mexico and then not to have them in the finale? That doesn't make sense. They will be there is some form or another.

    Been watching Breaking Bad. Since day 1.

    Could care less about the Schwartz's. Injecting a "new" storyline 59 minutes into the penultimate episode that has nothing to do with the major goings on in Albuquerque lacks impact and is silly. Could care less if he poisons them. They are small potatoes.

    Oh, also, it hasn't happened yet. So all you are doing right now is writing fan fiction and telling me I'm an idiot for thinking your fan fiction lacks impact.
