You can't charge someone if the only proof you have is a custom license plate, breh.

Ok Walt is this super genius right capable of using his big brain in a number of high paying fields, but somehow he ended up being a lowly high school chemistry teacher?
That plot would make sense if he was somehow blackballed from everything and had to take the teaching position, but obviously that wasn't the case...and its not like he didn't have a family to feed or wasn't interested in money. Basically they're telling us it's Grey Matter or high school chemistry teacher...no other good jobs in between lol
They actually addressed this in interviews.
He didn't take the teacher job because he had to. He took the teacher job because at that point he had a defeatist attitude, and he wanted a job that he could blend into, that nobody would judge him for taking. If he went and worked at Wal-Mart or some shyt, everyone would
"you're wasting your potential"....but going to teach, any time someone said "you should have a better job, you're way overqualified" he could fall back on "I'm doing it for the kids, to educate the next generation". Which sounds noble but it's bullshyt because he just had no self-esteem or motivation to do anything else with his life.Fred.
That's pretty much what the whole show was about. A good hearted meek loser with no confidence transforming into a boss and a killerThey actually addressed this in interviews.

Ethnic Cleansing
Fucc Slobks and Crabks
That's the only reason he did it really.
And to the people saying "she could have Walt's family killed still"....how? Her people are all dead. She don't have access to killers. Her goons were the nazis. She had maybe a day left before she died, I assume she'd be more concerned handling her person affairs and making sure her daughter is taken care of.
Fred.
So a woman who was killed for no reason (according to the storyline), other than her being ruthless, is made aware of her impending death, and said ruthless person has no revenge in store and just accepts being poisoned

At the end of the day she was a square business woman running the shipping aspect of Gus's operation. She was introduced to Jack and his goons by Walter....and they're all dead. So what is she supposed to do for revenge exactly? She can barely make it to the bathroom.
Fred.
The big thing I think people fail to realize, is the story ENDS when Walter dies...We don't know and never will know what she does after she hangs up.So a woman who was killed for no reason (according to the storyline), other than her being ruthless, is made aware of her impending death, and said ruthless person has no revenge in store and just accepts being poisoned
So yes Walter killed her cause he knew how ruthless she was (You should know how ruthless she was from watching the show, she was willing to kill anybody if it means protecting herself) and yes he told Lydia she was poisoned.
Long Story Short, I can tell you why Walt poisoned her (IMO), but me or no one else can really tell you if she just accepted it

And if they aren't meticulous how do they pull off a synchronized 10 man super max prison murder strategy in several states without drawing any suspicion to themselves?? Or sneak pass a DEA, NMBI and FBI surveillance of Walts crib to give death threats to Skyler and baby Holly while being totally undetected..
These weren't just your run of the mill type rockhead goons..Until the plot needed them to be and they let a man that they had stolen 70 m's from roll up in their compound without even checking his whip...
Especially AFTER Todd had been telling them all those stories about Mr. White's genius level of scientific gangster from the methylamine train heist...
And then they bring out Jesse at the end just to prove to a man (that will be dead in 30 seconds) that "we dont fukk with snitches"...
Talk about taking "My name is my name" to an absurd level.. I guess they were concerned that once Walt died and went to hell he would spread the word around to Satan and the other demons that Uncle Jack and them was really about that rat life and weren't stand up guys....
The more I think about the whole Nazi storyline the more they come off as Die Hard villians...Its like the writers blew their load with the Gus storyline and were struggling to find a credible antagonist to take it to the next level..Gus or Mike would have never allowed Walt to drive in without checking every inch of that car...Nazi's should have been the main season 3-4 foils and Gus would have been more appropriate for the final 1.5 seasons
That's pretty much exactly what happened...they said in the insider podcast when they initially wrote the flash forward in the beginning of last season, they didn't have any idea who Walt would end up using the machine gun on...and so they came up with the nazis to be the big bad guys that walt had to defeat at the end and just kinda let them fill in the gaps between League of Shadows trained criminal masterminds and bumbling idiots depending on what was needed for plot advancement

The writers of “Breaking Bad” gave Walter White his M60 before they knew who it would kill.
Vince Gilligan says in the final “Breaking Bad Insider” podcast that he and his team had no idea, when they gave Walt the machine gun at the start of the final season, that he would eventually motorize it mow down Neo Nazis. They didn’t even know the show would have Neo Nazis.
It was a classic case of the “Breaking Bad” writers writing themselves into a corner and trying to find a way out. They created Uncle Jack’s gang in part because they needed villains worthy of a massacre, Gilligan said.
“We went through every possibility in the book,” he said. “You’re planting a flag at that point… We were saying you know what? An M60 machine gun, Rambo’s machine gun, something cool has to happen with that. We’ll figure it out later.”
That's how they've written every season, since 2. They literally wrote the entirety of season 2 around the image of a pink teddy bear floating in a pool, with zero context when they started.

Scanning the thread and I'm still 
at people thinking the nazis were some kind of competent well trained outfit. They were goons and knuckleheads. They weren't even smart enough to check under the car for Jesse in "Ozymandias". The thought didn't even occur to them. But they're perceptive enough to check Walt's trunk for an automated M60? 
And before someone says "but they pulled off the coordinated prison murders!"....yeah, and the Aryan Brotherhood make up less than one tenth of one percent of the prison inmate population yet are responsible for 18% of all prison murders.
That's literally all they're good at, is murder in jail.

Interestingly enough the show works on two levels:
A good man becoming bad OR a flawed man staring down the barrel of mortality.
Most people would say the show is the former but the latter is far more powerful IMO.

Prosecutors said he went on the run after being warned by John Connolly Jr., an FBI agent who had made Bulger an FBI informant 20 years earlier. Connolly was convicted of racketeering in May 2002 for protecting Bulger and his cohort, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, also an FBI informant.
But in September 2002, the FBI received the most reliable tip in three years when a British businessman who had met Bulger eight years earlier said he spotted Bulger on a London street

right back at you.He lived in Santa Monica, California for over a decade, where he was finally arrested in 2011. Went shopping 2x a week, ate at fancy restaurants, etc. He was out there, not hiding, not ducking police, while #1 on America's Most Wanted. Like I said:
