Anyone else think

Walt has the ricin for himself? perhaps he will take it before the inevitable showdown for his money. Why would he use it on someone like Lydia? when he has an M16? Didn't he say it would take a couple of days before it takes affect?

 

The last episode was intense. First time this season i felt really uncomfortable watching it.

Holy crap - the most recent episode was spectacular. 

 

Walt on the phone in the final few minutes - trying to be a complete ******* to Skyler, about Hank, whilst simultaneously trying to choke back the tears.. Cranston absolutely nailed it. It even choked me for a few seconds. I just can't imagine how it's all going to end.

That phone call where Walt carefully chooses his words so that he doesn't say that Hank is dead and absolves Skylar was great.

 

Someone also mentioned the fire department scene where they're playing chess and the white king is cornered. That's some nice little imagery.

I still say the Ricin is for

Walt. He has to make the ultimate sacrifice for his family, and he has to do it it by killing himself. Remember how he says Jesse was also family? Jesse still hates Walt for the Ricin he gave to Brock, and now even more that He told Jesse he watched Jane die. So in order to make Jesse forgive him, Walt has to kill himself.

 

Walt's decision to

use Saul's "start a new life" guy

makes it unlikely to me that he's going to kill himself, that course of action doesn't fit the profile of narcissism the writers have given walt. The M-60 indicates to me that he's going to be in a 3 way fight with Jesse, the police, and the White Supremicist group with a showdown in the final episode.

Also, I thought

The anti climatic way they ended the gunfight was a bit disappointing

The next episode is called Granite State, which should give a clue to what it will be about. I thought it was good that

Walt exonerated Skylar on the phone.

I guess the next episode will focus probably more on Walter than anyone else.

Except, he never gave Brock Ricin.

Except, he never gave Brock Ricin.

Okay, maybe I'm confused on something here, then who gave Brock the ricin? I was under the impression that Walt gave Brock the ricin so he could convince Jesse that Gus had poisoned the boy and that would make Jesse want to go after Gus even more so.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
