I remember reading somewhere that Gilligan admitted that they had no idea what they were doing with the scene that involves the ricin. Maybe he came back to the house and just picked it up as a precaution. The point of that scene probably was just to have us do what you guys have been doing in nonsense guesses which just happen to be wrong every week lmao
Saw this on twitter Felina is the name of the last episode FeLiNa = Fe Li Na Fe = Iron Li = Lithium Na = Sodium
Regarding the Schwartz Spoiler I think this EW article pretty much confirms that the Schwartz were not there just for the sole purpose of inciting Walt. I think the Stevia are red herrings. The writers don't treat the audience as dummies and are too smart to give us repeating clues. That is why some of us are leaning away from Lydia being the recipient of the ricin. I understand the dislike for Walt, but why the love for Jesse (please don't take this as I dislike Jesse)? If he kills Walt, that would be 2 people that he killed. Let's look back at all his faults: * cooked meth before meeting mr. white * pull the rug under his parents' feet * got Jane back to doing drugs * was going to kill the 2 guys that killed Brock's brother * try (maybe succeeded) to sell meth at those meetings. * killed Gale (he had a choice, just like Walt had a choice with Jane) * a snitch (Uncle Tio is better than him here) Jesse is no saint, he is my 2nd favorite character next to Walt, but I don't think he deserves the credits to be the one to take down Walt. Even dandorotik's EW article (in the spoiler) mentioned that the writers recognize all Jesse's faults. I rather Jr take down Walt, which would be cruel, than seeing Jesse kill Walt. Funny! Next year, Heinsenberg... I think Skylar still cares about him, that is why she said sorry on the phone call. I believe she was genuine when she said that. Unless she dies before him, that would be at least one person who cares about him. I still believe the "Walt killed Hank" loose end will be wrapped up in the finale, so either Walt dies or Skylar dies. I am betting on Walt.
I'm really looking forward to whatever happens. Some people need to quit assuming Walt knows everything we do, because he doesn't. I personally thought the newspapers were going to include a big reveal (not sure if any of the clippings meant anything), particularly Andrea's death, but it didn't happen. I expect Ted to re-surface in the finale. He would be a major witness against Skyler (they have the pressure of his IRS debts to get him to talk). Certainly if there were more episodes, that would happen. The Schwartzs were there for an impact, but I don't think he necessarily attacks them in any way. I would bet that he tries to ruin them rather than kill them if he does seek his revenge that way. He doesn't need to have any idea about Jesse still being alive, since he has already said that killing Jack and his guys is unfinished business. Wouldn't shock me if he is surprised to discover Jesse still alive when he returns. I love that they have shown Jesse the true face of evil. Jesse has never understood Walt. Jesse started naive to just how far Walt would go, and then was naive to how much Walt cared for him (Walt only put himself and family ahead of Jesse). He called him the devil, and referred to him as pure evil, which he is now seeing with Todd.
In fireworks, different metals bring out different colors. Fe = Iron - Gold Li = Lithium - Red Na = Sodium - Yellow Maybe it means the last episode will be a fireworks show, maybe the colors mean something.

That's a great EW interview above. Given that the writer has confirmed that Spoiler Walt is not Walt, nor Heisenberg, but something new, it fits right in with the "growth, decay, then transformation" speech from the very first episode. This show is amazing at bringing things full circle.
Wow, you think the ricin does not come into play in the finale?? That's honestly a bolder prediction than any others that I've heard on here. Gilligan's motives may be unpredictable, but he never has any wasted strokes. That ricin will be involved in the final 75 minutes.
Interesting info on the Hockey game playing in the background at the bar this last episode. Any other show, I would assume it's a coincidence but not BB.... Last Night’s Breaking Bad Featured a Classic College Hockey Game from 1998 By Sam Page During the final scene of last night’s penultimate Breaking Bad episode, Walter White makes a desperate call to his son, Flynn, from a New Hampshire bar. The episode is titled “Granite State,” in honor of White’s hideaway home, and boy do they love their college hockey in New Hampshire. It wasn’t surprising then that, as Walt pleaded with Flynn on the phone, a hockey broadcast played in the background. I expected the game to be a recent contest featuring the local UNH Wildcats, but upon a closer listen, realized it was not. Let’s go to the transcript: Walt: ”Things happen…” Announcer: “Tim Rothering with a snapshot.” Here’s our first clue. Tim Rothering played at Wisconsin from 1995-1999, making this game at least 13 years old. Walt: “There’s money inside. About 100,000 dollars. It’s all that I could fit into the box. It has to be a secret. If anyone says a word, the police will take it.” Announcer: “Craig Anderson’s outlet pass will travel the length of the ice, untouched, but right on goal. And Wagner makes the save. Play goes on for Denver.” Craig Anderson–not Ottawa’s goalie–also played for Denver from 1995-1999, so that’s no help. That Denver’s goalie is named Wagner, though, is telling, as Stephen Wagner minded their net from 1996-2000, closing our window by one year. Flynn: “Why are you still alive? Why won’t you just die already? Just die!” Announcer: “He’s been stellar tonight. Solid saves back in the first period.” Color commentator: “You know, Mike, that’s probably a disappointing fact for Wisconsin. You look at Wagner’s numbers, and it seems like he’s one of the last goalies in the league. You wanna put pressure on this guy. “ The commentator’s criticism of Wagner’s numbers makes this game most likely from the 1997-98 season, in which he had a poor 4.20 Goals Against Average. Announcer: “Kevin Granato looks to make movement. Save made by Graham Melanson, off Rycroft. Who else? He’s been all over the ice tonight.” Kevin Granato and Graham Melanson both started their careers at Wisconsin in 1997, virtually assuring it’s the 1997-98 season. Mark Rycroft, who would later play in the NHL for the St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche, was also a freshman in 1997. Walt: “I’d like to speak to the agent in charge of the Walter White case.” Announcer: “2:49 remains in the second period. Denver holding on to a 2-1 lead at the Dane County Coliseum.” Here are the telling details. Wisconsin and Denver only played twice that year at the Dane County Coliseum (which the Badgers would leave next season), once on February 13, 1998 and again on the following day. In the second game, the score was 2-1 in Wisconsin’s favor in the second period, eliminating it as a possibility. The Feb. 13 game, however, fits: Denver lead 2-1 in the second period and Rycroft had scored a goal, in keeping with the announcer’s earlier comment. Amazingly, the home team came back to score 6 goals in the third period, making it an all-time classic Badgers win: The amazing comeback, one of eleven that season, was commemorated in the team’s media guide the next year: Is Vince Gilligan giving us a clue? Is Walter White about to score 6 goals in the 3rd period (so to speak)? http://extramustard.si.com/2013/09/...ured-a-classic-college-hockey-game-from-1998/
Vince and the writing team like to write themselves into corners and then try to figure a way out. The ricin was one of those corners. They put that and the M60 in there not knowing what they were going to do with them so that they could brainstorm and figure out how to use them later.
