Correction. I believe the statue is called Ramses II, and it inspired Ozymandias. My fault...

So, yes, I agree that this was a way to help absolve Skyler while also giving her a verbal smackdown for telling Junior and ruining his plan to run off as a family.

As much as I'd like to think that Walt will come back in the flashforward to save Jesse (and believe me, I really want that to happen) I just don't see how there's any redemption for Walt in these last 2 episodes. I think he's coming back for the money in order to pass that along to his family in his final act.
It was 100% to get Skyler off the hook, as can be seen from his emotional breaks that we the viewer sees while he is talking.

I don't see him purposely "saving" Jesse, but maybe them coming to some mutal terms of live and let live at the end (or Walt dying).
Still other unanswered questions besides the ones that have been discussed-
-What happens to Walt's cancer?
-Why was his house abandoned (I would assume Skyler would move and sell it)?
-What would the gang do with $60m+ dollars and why would they and the money still be around a year later (I know one possible answer to that - who could launder that much money, and $60m in cash is useless without laundering).
-Why would they still be cooking when they already have $60m? (Plausable answer - Todd doing it to win Lydia's affections).

Skyler probably couldn't sell the house. It was probably seized by the government under RICO statutes.

That is what I got from the scene as well. It took me a couple minutes to catch on to it, but the clues were there.

I doubt that Jesse becomes the new Heisenberg. Remember, Jesse does not know chemistry like Walt does. he know bits and pieces. Remember when he went to mexico. he need the Mexican chemist to synthesis the meth.

I just hope that it actually ends and doesn't have some Sopranos cut to black ending....I'd be so disappointed.

Gilligan has stated that while he liked the soprano's ending, this will not happen with BrBa. Things will be concretely settled.

We shall see...

The acting was so great, it felt like this was all really happening and made you feel you were living in the story with every character. If Breaking Bad doesn't take all emmy's this year, it is fixed.
Although Vince hinted to us what was going to happen to Walt this season,nothing can still prepare you for what happened last night.

For all those saying Lydia gets the ricin - what is the reasoning? can't he just shoot her along with everyone else? Perhaps she is too well protected to get close to here with a gun, or maybe Walt needs to coerce her somehow? We do know Lydia likes tea so I can definitely see the ricin getting slipped in at some point...
Lydia is too close to Todd and his uncle at this point

He is going back for the money. It's all about the money now. I can just hear him, "IT'S MINE! I EARNED IT!"
Agree^^^
Walt is coming back for his money,but most importantly his pride.
Walt has always done business on the up and up.Todd and his uncle jack ripped off Walt last night.
The last person that ripped off walt was Tuco and you remember what happened to Tuco!

Totally agree with that.Somebody mentioned about Todd being a sociopath.I'm starting to believe he is.Todd starts crying for walt when his uncle jack shot Hank

Yep!

Last Night episode is now my favorite BB episode of all time.So much happened in one episode last night i don't know were to begin.
I teared up a couple of times last night.
The first time i teared up is when Hank died.Hank telling Walt,"you're the smartest guy i ever met but you're too stupid to see he made his mind up 10 mins ago".
To me it was just Someone else showing Walt,that he's in over his head dealing with these guys.
