    What If Walter's confession tape was a true story? Like if Hank actually forced Walt to be his Chemist and made him do all those things. We should also get to see what happens with him and the DEA, and if they actually believe the tape.

      I’d like to expand upon this, perhaps in the beginning during the ride along they end up actually catching Jesse before he slips away, but there’s some sort of incident in the lab or some evidence goes missing and the blame falls on Hank, or there’s an issue with Jesse like when Hank got suspended for beating Jesse, his reputation is in shambles and his job is hanging by a thread, so he uses Walters knowledge of chemistry to force him into creating the blue sky meth to provoke his superiors into letting him stay in the force as he gets all of these ‘tips’ from rats (which is really info from Walter) which makes him the only officer able to continue tracking the elusive Heisenberg.

Or he eventually gets Gus long after he’s too dead to enjoy it and his family is wiped from the earth? Trust me. Gus still won.

    Even considering that this is a hypothetical scenario, I don't see why Lalo would keep Mike alive. Even with collateral, there's no way Lalo would give Mike the chance to get revenge.
    Given that Lalo recognizes that Eladio made a mistake in letting Gus work under him, I don't see why he would repeat the same thing with Mike.

      It's a bit of a stretch but not too much if you think about it. Lalo is a textbook psychopath. I think that due to his inability to understand emotions, he might overlook the possibility of Mike wanting revenge for Gus. He had to spell out the idea that Kim loved Jimmy for himself when she spoke to him in prison. You could say that this still doesn't make sense because Slamancas are all about "blood for blood" but Gus wasn't Mike's family, just his boss. And who would care that much for their boss?

    • @dragonfire4527
      @dragonfire4527 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      True but Mike didn't kill Walt after he found out that he killed Gus (via planting a bomb on Hector's wheelchair) and Mike still stayed with Walt (albeit through Jesse's convincing him), and in the end despite Mike's clear disdain for Walter, he kept working with him and going along with his plans until he calls him out on his ego and pride getting in the way of his plans for building a drug empire, leading to Walt to shoot him.

    A lot of people complain about how Gus came out on top against Lalo. They are equals. Lalo made mistakes during the encounter and so did Gus. Gus’s mistake was showing up to the laundry unannounced, and Lalo’s mistake was being too cocky and thinking he had it in the bag when he had the iron on Gus. Years later Gus let his rage/hatred of Hector get the best of him which caused his life.

      Walt would be early caught by Hank and Gus would not let him out of prison obviously because that was his last straw for him. Since he lost Max who is also a chemist and then gale, would you think he would forgive him for that? he took long time to find a trusted chemist. And his meth business would been ruined again because of Walter.
      I also personally think that Walter would rattle about Gus to Hank early in this case.

      Now, Gus suddenly doesn't want to kill Jesse anymore; he takes him under his wing and only wants to kill Walter. Jesse actually starts flipping, even though Jesse was against Gus for ordering that kid to be killed
      Jesse betrays Walter and won't help him, forcing Walter to 'poison' the kid with a non-fatal poison. Walter 'wins' against Gus, but Jesse hates Walter for putting a kid in the hospital despite it not being fatal.

      It's more than likely that after Lalo its dealt with Mike, will explain the situation and set a cover story for all of them to ascribe to. Howard will probably leave seeing Jimmy and Kim in a more harsher light. Kim would abandon their schemes with Howard and she wouldn't be traumatized enough to leave Jimmy and she probably would be a player in the events of breaking bad.
      In the end I do believe Kim might convince Howard to be Jimmy's lawyer during the end of the show as he tries his best to salvage the McGill name.

    Im gonna make a few tweaks to this story:
    I have a feeling Mike would intervene in the plot for the twins to assassinate Hank. He hates the Salamancas, especially the twins after threatening his family. I like to think he would still give Hank an anonymous call before they came to kill him, giving Hank the upper hand and him killing both of them. Lalo wouldn't be able to take revenge due to the DEA heat and the cops surrounding Hank's house. So Walt's family doesn't die. Also, when Lalo is being strangled by Mike, Walter would run instead of standing there like a dumbass and he and Saul would escape. Walt, after Jesse's death and the near death plan of killing the cartel, Walt would quit the meth business and live out his days with the family.

    How would this affect the events now that Drew Sharp is not only alive, but also has a real reason to contact authorities after being shot at, and how would Jesse's perspective of Walter change after seeing him risk the operation and relations with Todd and Jack's crew, to save a kid (similar to what happened at the end of Season 2)?

    @TheBoxingCannabyte ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One thing I do think is during the early part with Lalo and Mike that if Mike had half a chance and got one hand on Lalo it would be over for Lalo. Yes Lalo is a harass but Mike is practically the Equalizer in h2h and if Mike is within a few feet he could pull it off or if Lalo makes the mistake of trying to grab his gun from the holster
    Also it could be highly likely that Mike would be wearing body armor and even tho Lalo is a good shot… Mike is an expert marksman capable of taking shots very few in the world can. And I’d wager with armor on and his gun in an outside the waistband holster… his revolver or his Mark 23 or mk 24 Hk (I’d like to think it’s that as Lalo also has a rare hk p7m8. Both are insanely tough because they are HKs but one is sleek and almost James Bond like… in fact Lalo utilizes a unique one hand reload function on it during that scene
    While the other is so tough they can lodge a bullet in the barrel and clear it with another bullet. All business and capable of extreme accuracy and punishment just like Mike
    So that would be a fun standoff but anyway IF Mike truly thought a bullet was coming I would expect him to go down fighting and if it’s within 10-15 feet even without body armor I think Mike kills Lalo 7:/10
    I’ve got a ton of experience with pistols and I’m fair with rifles and great with a shotgun lol. But also decades of combat training, boxing and martial arts and while a gun disarm is something that is really hard to do without getting shot… it’s actually not too hard to do with enough practice within certain distance even if you’re not a fast runner. Clearly Mike is fast enough to get Jesse clear or a snipers fire tho.
    Also it’s very hard to kill someone with a single bullet from the vast majority of pistols… .357 and above are the single shot single kill ones and obviously a solid .45 like what Mike would possibly have there, the Hk mk 23 (my dream .45 not counting a few 1911s)
    Buuut I’m glad it resolved without them killing each other. Regardless of anyone else’s assessments heh
