Season 5 Predictions

Hey there all you fellow fans!

In the absence of the show's airings,  the hype for the fifth and final season is building fast. 
Although many people out there have very good points, I still think people are think far too linearly.  Breaking Bad is only slightly predictable, in certain short-term jaw droppers.  But plot wise, its nearly impossible to do.  To me, it seems like Vince Gilligan doesn't look at the show in separate seasons.  At the draw of the fourth season, the writers don't look at the fifth season saying 'okay, season five needs to address the season finale of four..'.  This is the last season, with side plots and the main plots, Breaking Bad has a lot to work with and bring into the end of this amazing show. 

Example number one of this:  Victor Salamanca.  In the beginning of the second season we meet this character, and hes fairly important for the first couple of episodes of that season.  Now in retrospect though, that character was being built up and defined, and eventually plays a key character in the show overall. It turns out that he is the most direct connection to the cartel and a side conflict with antagonist Gus.  This is how Breaking Bad writes, very developmental and mature, the reason its so phenomenal.

So since its pretty much impossible to predict where the show will be at the series finale, I plan to just point out some things that are bound to happen.  However this, I promise you, will not be the most heart pounding points in the show:


Gus is dead.  However Mike is not, he was still in the hospital from the attack on the cartel and was absent for the struggle between Walt and Gus.  Mike will NOT be after Walt for this: he is practical, and will work for anyone who will pay him (maybe Walt?).

Hank and Walt illegal connection is bound to come together.  Being the last season, this is necessary conflict to address.

Walt will at least have a chance to be the kingpin of the southwest.  This in turn will make him up against distributors around the nation.

These are three pivotal yet obvious predictions.  However Breaking Bad is never obvious, so expect a whole lot more!

Til next time!
