Assuming that Gales gets killed in the next episode, what is Walt's death total up to?

Walt possible sped up the destructive path Jesse was on, but even without Walt, Jesse was headed for an early grave.

With Walt, he at least has someone looking after him somewhat even if it is also in Walt's best interest to do so.

He didn't ask the chick to od on drugs. She would have died anyway if he hadn't been in the apartment.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Skyler shows up at Walt's place to "reconcile," and he's in there knocking boots with another woman?

I love it at the end of the first episode when Walt "takes what's his" in the bedroom, and the look on Skylar's face

Pardon the pun, but those two have good chemistry.

Without Walt, Jessie would have probably ended up like either of the junkie couple from the "Peekaboo" episode.

At least going out that way his mind would have been completely gone by the time he died.

Why would you assume Gale is going to get killed? Gus is not a violent man, and I think Gale would be afraid to talk about what he knows for fear of death. I think it'd be a bit of a stretch to kill him.

I know he said he doesn't believe in using fear as a motivater and maybe he hasn't committed many violent acts himself, but I am sure he has had to order hits in the past to protect his business.

Being partners with the Cartel guarantees he has blood on his hands.

He didn't hesitate to tell the Cousins it was ok to kill Hank. Do you think he'd think twice about having someone kill an actual criminal who could testify against him and bring him down?

I would be surprised if he killed Gale. Gale is a back up chef now. He has been working with Walt, so
I think Gale could probably cook his recipe, hell even Jesse can even though he has no real experience as a chemist. Gale has that experience.

Simply wouldn't make much sense to kill Gale.

I really don't think this new partnership with Walt and Jesse is going to last very long.

Jesse's skating on thin ice, and if Gus wants to truly learn Heisenberg's recipe for the blue stuff, it'd be easier to get it out of Jesse than Walt.

If Gus was going to pay Gale at least half of what he is paying Walt that is $1.5 million.
Gale might be a little upset that he is not going to get that.

If Jesse's cook is really as good as Walt's then Gus should kill both Jesse and Walt and just let Gale take over. Gale seems to be much less risky as an employee than either Walt or Jesse.

I know this isn't going to happen since it would end the show but I think it is a much more realistic scenrio than letting Walt get rid of Gale and taking on Jesse.

A real drug distributor would know his product would not have to be perfect. It just needs to be better than the competition. Meth heads will buy whatever is availible.

If Gale is as sharp as Walt thought he was after the first time they cooked together, then Gus no longer needs Walt.
Before Walt felt the need to protect Jesse, I was thinking Walt might think about this subject himself and worry Gus was going to use Gale to steal his recipe.

With Gus having basically told the Cousins a few episodes back to give him three months before killing Walt, he needs someone to get the recipe.

with having served Hank up on a silver platter to the Cousins, Twins whatever they are I still say Gus doesn't want to kill Walt, there is something there in Walt he likes and respects about the guy. Hell, Gale already knows the recipe, he's genius like Walt, Walt only made him doubt himself for getting Jesse to do what he did for Hank, so if that were the case he would have already offed both Walt and Jesse.

Walt convincing Gus to let Jesse take Gale's place speaks volumes in how much he respects him, Gus despises Jesse. and I really don't think Jesse has Walt's recipe down like he thinks, Walt only told him that to build up the kid's confidence after taking that serious arse whooppin from Hank, and then trying to calm him down after Jesse was about to go ballistic.

If he respects Hank so much why didn't he have a problem with more or less giving the order to have his brother-in-law killed?

If I was Gus I would have told him Jesse could take over but I would have had him killed on his way home that night and let Gale take over.

If I didn't think Gale was capable, I would let Walt do the three months and then kill him.

In my drug kingpin world, unless Walt relocates away from everyone he has ties to, he dies after the three months.

I think you meant Walt on the respect part, but serving Hank indicates that he doesn't want any harm to come to Walt, and I just think it's more than a recipe. but his phone call to Hank at the last minute, I'm assuming that was him just shows on his part that at least he was willin to give the man a chance to survive or have the Twins taken out, IDK.

Gale is capable, he's a chemist like Walt, he already knows the recipe, Walt was just makin him doubt himself. but like I said earlier, Walt being able to get Gus to go along with the Jesse takin Gale's place says a lot.

Does anybody remember Mike (Jonathan Banks) from the movie "48 Hours" w/Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy? He was one of the cops that got shot to sh!t in the hotel trying to arrest Albert Ganz.
