Loved the kids halfheartedly posing for the zip-pix with the hand gesture.

Kenny blonde - definitely.

In the pilot, there's a douchebag student who gives Walt a hard time in

Not so far, but they seem like quick studies, and willing to make the necessary moves.  (Great post.)

I'm feelin' that.  Nice prediction.

Cool observation.  (I'll be keeping an eye on Walt next time he's offered a drink.)

Really love this.  Wouldn't it be great if Gilligan had this planned from the beginning?  He shoots all these great classroom scenes back in '07 before anything else, knowing he'll use some of it near the end of the series.   (Maybe even Jesse actually taking an interest and asking for help with something, and Mr.

Not very interesting or dramatic, but here are my answers:
