If you aren't up to speed on the latest episodes, or are still watching other seasons, this article will contain SPOILER alerts.
Before Breaking Bad took its year long break, we seen some pretty major scenes take place. Walter kills Mike, and Hank finds out Walt is the great Heisenberg. The ending of episode 8 was one of the most intense moments in any show I've watched, and to think it almost didn't happen. Dean Norris, who plays Hank actually asked to be killed off the show. Norris wanted his character to be taken off the show so he could play his roll in "Under The Dome." The creators of Breaking Bad told him no because they needed him to finish off the last 8 episodes.
The latest episode was one of the greatest episodes yet. Walter created a video blackmailing Hank. If Walter is to die, the video he left will make everybody believe that Hank was really the one behind everything. One of the greatest things about the show is the foreshadowing they do at the beginning of each episode. When Breaking Bad returned a few weeks ago, one of the scenes showed Walter coming back to his house. There had been some damage and everything was destroyed and gone. Last week we seen exactly how this happens. Jesse has lost his mind, finding out the truth that Walt stole the ricin and proceeded to pour gasoline all over the house. Or is this really how it happens?
In the foreshadow scenes, the house didn't have any fire damage, which leads us to believe somebody stops Jesse. Could it be Walt Jr? if it is will Jesse tell him everything?
What happens next going forward?
I have a few theories. I believe Walter still has the cigarette which contains the ricin from last season which Jesse never used. Could this come into play? is Walter going to use it and kill Hank? or kill Skyler?
We keep seeing other scenes foreshadowing that a lot of time has passed. When Walter goes back to his house he has grey hair and a beard. Does Walter runaway or does he get put in jail and then breaks out? are these foreshadow scenes, actually scenes from the TV shows finale? if so then we can be safe to assume Walter isn't going to be killed or die of his cancer. Many people also seem to forget about Todd and his uncle. They are a huge presence and possible danger to Jesse and Walt. Will they be the ones to kill Hank or Walters family?
Another possibility of these foreshadows scenes are months or even years after the events of season 5. One of Walters neighbors seems shocked to see him, which means he probably hasn't been seen for quite some time. Are these scenes after Walter has started a new life and goes back?
One more theory is that all of this has been one big dream by Walter, and the season finale at the end will see him wake up, which would probably break the internet. It's really hard to say what direction the writers are taking, because there's so many possibilities and story arcs that could be brought out.
Needless to say Breaking Bad has been an amazing journey from season 1-5. It's almost so popular now the creators may have to find a way to make a spin-off TV show if fans want it bad enough.
The biggest fan FICTION theory out there right now, is that at the end of Breaking Bad, Walter takes his money, buys a new identity and starts LexCorp. With Bryan Cranston now being rumored to play Lex Luthor in the new Man Of Steel/Batman movie fans are are in complete happiness. There was actually a scene from season one, where Jesse tells Walter he looks like Lex Luthor. Buy hey we can all dream about how the show will come to an end.
