Yeah, that clip is clearly structured to point to Walt as the one who poisoned the kid, and I still think that it was Walt. That's going to be one of the big twists the EW article was talking about in the season finale, because clearly a lot of fans are still hoping that Walt is actually some sort of "decent" human being who couldn't possibly do such a terrible thing to Jessie, even though just last year he made Jessie kill a man in cold blood.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "End Times" -- 10/2/11
I watched the video too and maybe it was neither. I mean, yeah, that Gus didn't know about the boy poisoning and it sounded an alarm for him at the end, suggests it wasn't him.

But how could it be Walt? I guess we will learn that in the last episode.

If they show it was Walt, I guess that means that Jesse is going to die in the season finale. I think they need Gus to finish the series, because if Gus dies, what are they going do in the remaining episodes? Fight a new enemy? Don't think so.

My only objection to Walt poisoning the kid is that unlike Skylir he's never seemed like that good of a liar.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "End Times" -- 10/2/11
Interesting theory here:

http://minoritycode.tumblr.com/post/...d-by-anonymous

Spoiler:



“Brock isn’t poisoned by Ricin. It’s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digoxin from the foxglove plant. It is not fatal. Walt isn’t going to kill Brock, just make him sick with symptoms that are just like Ricin. In the scene where Walt is spinning the gun, it points to a foxglove plant, and Walt looks over at it, and you can see him start to think about something new. That’s when he gets the idea to do all this.” -Anonymous

Regarding that theory:

Spoiler:
Good theory. I think we can back it up if we go through all scenes in Walt's backyard and see if that plant was ever there before. If it only shows up in this episode, then it must have been added for a specific reason. Anyone with all the episodes want to volunteer to go through all those scenes?

Also someone on another board pointed out that Walt probably isn't faking that maniacal cackling when he "realizes" that it was Gus, implying that maybe he was in the dark about the poisoning.

Let's just hope that the wait for next season isn't over ONE FREAKING YEAR LONG. This and Mad Men both are killing me!

That would explain Fring's actions in the ramp. Pondering it all as he makes his way back to his car. Connecting Ricin to a master chemist ... then other dots.

Dang. That's some mighty fine detective work there. I can't wait for the finale.

I think I can wait a few more days, so I am going to pass on watching the clip.

The latest WTF with Mark Maron podcast has a long interview with Bryan Cranston:

http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episod...bryan_cranston

And Mark Maron is a huge fan of Breaking Bad so he asks a lot of questions about the show.

(Edit: the interview starts at the 15:25 mark and then runs for over an hour, for anyone who wants to skip over the pre-interview banter)
