10 Breaking Bad Predictions for The End of Season 5

The first half of Breaking Bad Season 5 is done and it was a good one! The only bad part is having to wait a whole year for the second half of the season which we know (or at least hope) will be nothing but unexpected twists and turns. Everyone and their mother are talking about their predictions for the last half of the season and here are mine. If you're not caught up, do not read as these contain spoilers from the last episode.

1. Walt is NOT out of the meth business. Walt has been gung ho on continuing to grow his meth business, especially since revealing how he lost out on billions with grey matter. Skyler going "isn't this enough?" is not going to be enough to make Walt quit, even if he says so. Walt will probably not be cooking as much, or at all, and will likely work on overseeing Todd (much more like a Gus role). He'll still demand a 50/50 split between him and Todd (at least).

2. Todd's cooking will negatively effect Walt. Even if Walt gives Todd step by step instructions, it's still Todd and not Walt who is cooking. It will be a better product then what else is on the market, but it won't be as good as Walt's. His distribution over in Phoenix will know (mostly by getting feedback) and will feel fucked over by Walt. They'll be out for vengeance. I think they might take it out on one of Walt's children as payback for fucking them over with sub par product.

3. Walt's cancer is back and is not going away. Kind of an easy one since we expect this based on the opening scene of Season 5, episode 1. Walt's coughing in the bathroom and is taking some form of meds. The fly coming back in episode 8 is symbolic for his cancer returning. He won't die from the cancer, but it will be terminal (meaning if there weren't other circumstances leading to Walt's death, the cancer would get him).

4. Skyler and Jesse will get arrested. Hank will start to gather evidence against Walt now that he strongly suspects (or pretty much knows) he is Heisenberg. It will lead him to Skyler using the car wash as a front for laundering the meth money. Hank will be sick to his stomach, but he knows he's going to have to arrest both Walt and Skyler. Walt will be long gone, Skyler will plead to not be taken away from her children, but Hank and team will take her away in handcuffs. Skyler knows Jesse is involved still (based on the dinner they all had together). She'll rat out Jesse for hopefully a smaller sentence or no prison time at all.

5. Lydia will be out for Walt's blood. I don't think she'll kill Walt (would be kind of weak way to kill him off), but we know Lydia is unstable and any potential for her to be arrested makes her very trigger happy (of course someone else needs to be controlling the trigger). She likely still has connections and will attempt to pay off people to kill Walt since he's out of the meth business. Lydia's line of thinking is that he will either rat her out if he gets picked up or, now that he's no longer involved, has no motivation in keeping her alive so she wants to strike first. It will backfire though.

6. Walt. Jr will enjoy a lot of breakfast. Vince likes to cater to the fan base and throw them a bone. Nothing makes fans happier than seeing Walt. Jr eating breakfast. Kind of my "silly" prediction, but there it is.

7. Walt will know that Hank knows about him, before Hank realizes. Walt leaving the Gale book on the toilet was a very careless thing for him to do (one of the few careless things Walt has done). Hank won't be quick to reveal his new found knowledge,  but will unintentionally drop subtle hints. There will be a scene where Hank does this and then after Walt will talk to Skyler in private about it saying "Hank knows!" and will start to think of a plan to get rid of him. At first it will involve the ricen, but then he'll have to move onto other ideas when that doesn't work. As stated earlier, Skyler and Jesse get arrested so Walt stopping Hank will be too little to late.

8. Walt will kill Hank. Vince has stated that Walt will do something this season that is "extremely unforgivable". Some say it was him killing Mike, but I don't buy that. Walt will be on the run after Skyler's arrest. Before the Denny's scene, he'll run into Hank (when he's not with anyone else). Hank will attempt to talk to him / arrest him, but Walt won't have it. Hank still views Walt as this mild mannered, nerdy science teacher even with him being involved with the meth business and it will bite him in the ass. Hank won't search Walt for a gun because he just will assume he's unarmed (because it's Walt, afterall). Walt will make believe he's complying, pull out a gun, and kill him. Hank will die a Hollywood style death, slow and having the look of "why would you do this to your family". Walt will apologize, but it will come off as half assed.

9. Saul will not be charged with anything. Saul is a fast talking lawyer, and he'll talk his way out of this one. He probably won't be questioned that much anyway, but either way nothing bad will happen to Saul.

10. The opening scene of season 5 (Denny's) will be tied into Walt's last moments alive . The opening scene with the gun, the car, and the fake ID (using Skyler's maiden name) is definitely a sign that he's in hiding and he knows things are going to get ugly. Hard to say why he's in town if he's on the run and why he's getting the gun, but chances are Walt wouldn't be in town if he didn't have to be. Remember when I said the Phoenix crew would be pissed about subpar product and take it out on Walt's children? There will be a kidnapping of Walt Jr. and/or Holly. The guys want to keep them alive to have leverage for Walt to cook his signature blue crystal. Walt will hear about the kidnapping on the news first, get a call from the Phoenix guys, and will try to deal with it.  The Phoenix guys will give 3 choices: continuing cooking the good stuff, give them a HUGE payout if he really wants out, or watch his kids die. Walt being stubborn and not wanting to give up his stash refuses and attempts to off the Phoenix guys. Phoenix guys end up killing the kidnapped party (Walt. Jr and/or Holly). Walt will succeed in killing all of them AFTER this, but after his kids are dead, his wife in jail he realizes the money he has is worth nothing to him. He kills himself.

Top 10 Fantasy Quarterbacks - 2012 NFL Season

In a lot of leagues, the Quarterback is the player that produces the most amount of points for a fantasy team in each and every week. With the season only 3 weeks away, and a lot of drafts coming up, we listed what we felt were the top best NFL quarterbacks to draft this season. Let us know what you think.

1. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay)
2. Tom Brady (New England)
3. Drew Brees (New Orleans)
4. Matthew Stafford (Detroit)
5. Matt Schaub (Houston)
6. Michael Vick (Eagles)
7. Peyton Manning (Broncos)
8. Eli Manning (Giants)
9. Tony Romo (Cowboys)
10. Cam Newton (Panthers)

Please note that this does not necessarily represent the ten best QBs in the league, but the ones that are likely to give you the most amount of fantasy points.

Who Will Make The Top 4 - Hell's Kitchen Season 10

Season 10 of Hell's Kitchen doesn't exactly have a clear favorite like previous seasons. That being said, there are definitely a few contestants that stand out from the others. Here's my prediction on who will be the last 4 remaining (in order of best to worst).

1. Christina: She fits the criteria in what Chef Ramsey is looking for. She can cook, she doesn't get overly stressed when things get tough, and she's a leader in the kitchen. She's had very little hiccups this season and is the favorite so far.

2. Justin: Justin is definitely a close second. Achieving the perfect score on the pallet challenge definitely helped and he has had very little mishaps in the kitchen as well. While he has demonstrated some leadership abilities, it can be misconstrued sometimes as "Barking orders" more than leading a team which makes him slightly below Christina.

3. Dana: Dana was in the top 2 until the last couple of episodes where she has demonstrated some inconsistencies. She will definitely get the coveted black jacket (6 chefs total get it), but can't see her beating out Justin and Christina unless something big happens.

4. Barbie: The #4 spot could be almost anyone at this point, but giving it to Barbie. Chef Ramsey likes her for whatever reason and she has proven herself to be a great cook. While she's too quiet and can be slow at times, she'll probably beat out everyone else. Brian and Clemenza have messed up too many times at this point (especially Clemenza), Kimmie is way too quiet, and Robyn can't seem to work with everyone else (her or Clemenza are next to go).

A Song for Trayvon

Came across this video by Jasiri X on MoveOn.org's YouTube chanenl: "A Song for Trayvon". If the title didn't give it away, the song is a reaction to the Trayvon murders. Song is based on "No Church in the Wild" by Jay-Z and Kanye and has some pretty controversial lyrics (which I pasted below). You can check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOahRYtw3lo

It's Sunday the God's day, a day of rest
The NBA all stars are playing next. But right outside that same city the celebratory atmosphere would
change quickly
Who watching the game with me you know lil Trayvon was
reppin his home town
D Wade and LeBron
He had just came up from
Miami to see his daddy
Who knew such a great weekend would end so badly
In a place where you move because it's safe for your family
But some people got a ingrown hate for your family
Halftime just a short brake from the slammin
Bout to go to the store lil cuz you want some candy?
Bet I grab you some skittles kid. I'll be right back in a little bit
How bout I grab you some skittles kid. I'll be right back in a little bit.

(Chorus)

Paid for lil cuz's skittles and a iced tea walked out the store and felt the chill of the night breeze
It seemed a little colder than before he didn't know
it was a boy like a soldier in a war that was watching him clocking him
thinking about stopping him
nine milly cocking them
who's this nigga
walking in my neighborhood?
He fits all the specifics of criminal statistics-- he
looks suspicious "911, what's your emergency?"
A black man's walking through my hood purposely
stay clam, it's just little Trayvon but he wanna
be the hero so he put's his cape on
George Zimmerman neighborhood block captain
loaded glock strapped in fake cop has been got out the car
ignoring what the cops asked him
"They always get away this time that will
not happen!"

George Zimmerman didn't take his Ritalin drunk off adrenaline says he
making a citizens arrest
Trayvon looks at him vexxed "I just walked to the
store nothing more nothing less"
Just steps from his home he ignored his
request George grabs him, Trayvon swings and connects
Starts screaming out for help
but Zimmerman see a threat so he pulls out his gun and he
points it at his chest
He fires but he misses Trayvon pleads for forgiveness
"I didn't do nothing" this is senseless
but George Zimmerman was so vicious he made sure the second shot hit em no survivor no witness
Trayvon never gave his cousin his skittles, missed the all star
game didn't see another dribble

And George Zimmerman wasn't even arrested.
The message is only white lives are protected In America.
