Do you suppose it's just maybe possible that they have flip phones because then it's easier to film the damn scene without needing to alter a corporate logo in the final shot?

Interesting theory that it's someone else. Two clues that it isn't: the handwriting is very similar, and it's to "my other W.W."

The inscription in *this* episode says, "To my *other* favorite W.W." Ergo, the star/silence quote is to Whitman.

Plus no one seems to have noticed that Hank loves Walt like family. I don't think it's a given that his reaction is to turn him in or build a case.

Lydia says that the Czech connection would be worth $2M a week to start; my list-on-a-napkin calculation is that there's $60M or so in the storage bin, plus what Skyler laundered, what Walt gave Jesse, and the 35%+ that goes out for distribution.

Oh, crap. The comment about the toilet reminded me that ending the season there is *also* a callback to the German who killed himself in the season opener.

Based purely on the scene with Gomez—and kudos to the actor for getting so much character across in such a short time—I think he's got the same shortsightedness as Lydia. Until that moment, he never really considered how much trouble he was in… which also speaks to his being the only guy who talks to the DEA.

Re people behind Walt, I'll reference my earlier theory that Walt turns Heisenberg on and off like a switch. But now, it's *Walt* who can get activated. The scene with the money brought Walt back, hence the entirely sincere scene with Jesse. To my way of thinking, it's the continued existence of Walt that makes him a…

And mocks her about it by declaring, "I came here to kill you? Right now? In public?" Yes, he did.

How does a book get to the bathroom? Jesus, that's pretty much the plot point with the *least* requirement for explanation.

Walt has seen Gale's inscription to Whitman—that was in the scene where he says "you got me" to Hank. But my memory of the scene where he chuckles at the book is that he opens it to the *middle*—not to the beginning.

That's a good explanation in real life, but there's no way in hell that'll be introduced into the show. It defuses too much of the drama to say, "Walt couldn't help himself, he had a brain tumor."
