I thought he lived too, but damn there was carnage in that room. It seems as though everyone involved in the operation is dead now except for Mike. I hope he makes an appearance of some sort, though he's smart enough to not come for blood or anything.
I don't think they'll continue cooking. Jesse has more then enough money to get by with & seems happy with his life with the girl & Brock. Walt 's got the carwash now, with a modest amount of money remaining after dealing with Ted's IRS thing. I think the final season may revolve around Skylar & Walt. I don't think she'll react well to Walt admitting to killing people so casually. I'd love for their to be a scene where he tells her everything, going back to melting Crazy 8, but that's not likely.
Also, holy crap at the end scene in Walt's backyard. If Gus was 3 steps ahead, Walt was 5. Wonder how he delivered them and whether Jesse ever finds out. You'd think Walt would be smart enough to get rid of it, or at least pull the tag off of it. Anyone notice that plant in previous episodes?
Gotta wonder where Hank's investigation goes. He's got to connect the laundromat fire & the explosion, but there can't be much there for him to investigate.
Any idea when season 5 starts?
