re: Breaking Bad S5E7

In S5E1 opening scene, the flash-forward, some people are saying they think they see Walter wearing a wire. Not sure if I see all that, but if he is, could it not be he's loaded that jacket with some sort of an explosive device? He is a chemist and it is "Science, Mr. White, yeah"!

Seems like a better turn of events then him turning witness protection to me, especially with the gun involved. It could be both, though, and he goes out with a blaze of glory using the weapon and explosives.

And the birthday thing with the bacon in the flash-forward. It doesn't necessarily mean it's his actual birthday, if he's taken on a new identity with the fake ID and all. Could have something to do with the situation - this could be a dedication of some sort. Does kind of look like a family member may be dying soon.

Just my takes, but it is pretty early in the game to be throwing those out there, but thought I'd throw in my 2 cents about possibilities.
