<p>the fly stands for loss of control in general, not just Jane. teh creator has gone on record sayin that.  </p><p>I can't agree with the car, as those were two completely different cars, Gus' focusing on luxury and Walt's focusing on speed, and Im pretty sure Gus was chaufferred every where. and I cant agree with the Mike thing, its just too flat.  </p><p>as for the eyeball, he sits it on his bed, probably intending to get around to throwing it away. Then the cousins drop it on the floor and it rolls under the bed. Eventually it gets too a drawer where the last person seen picking it up is Skyler. still not sure what the teddybear represents. </p>

<p>I am not entirely sold on this theory but you have broughten up some good points so I just wanted to through one more in for fun..... Walt makes his own birthday number with his bacon like you said so if this is a trend maybe he killed her too? I don't think HE will exactly but who knows (somebody should ;)) </p>

<p>ive heard that one too. i think its a good chance she'll be dead by the time we catch up to that flashforward. Some people have been saying that walt may have poisoned her drink with the ricin in that second to last scene from Gliding Over all. Apparently he is seen looking at her drink. I don't know about this because there was no reason to kill her at that point. i'll have to go back and watch that scene, and that episode airs at 8 tonight.  </p>

<p>That's an interesting point about Walter making his own birthday number! </p><p>And a few more possibly inherited traits I noticed... </p><p>In an earlier episode Mike tells Walt to "learn to take yes for an answer," and in the episode "Gliding Over All" Walt tells Lydia the exact same thing. </p><p>Also, in the episode where Gus kills off the cartel, he goes into the bathroom, lays a towel down in front of the toilet for his knees, then proceeds to vomit. In the latest episode "Blood Money," Walter does the same thing in his house because the cancer has come back. </p>

<p>in the scene with walt and lydia at the car wash walt is acting just like gus did in his place of business, trying to act professional while taking care of drug discussions in a public biz....his mannerisms are very similar to gus </p>

<p>I dont think Walt is copying his victims on purpose, but the writers must be scripting Walter like this intentionally. </p>

This is not "Heros," people don't absorb each others "powers". The "traits" he picks up from Gus, and anyone else, are just a matter of the shows namesake, Breaking Bad. As in, they are things that happen to your moral code when you become a meth crime lord. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom: 12.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:15.75pt;vertical-align:baseline"><span>He doesn't kill kids, Todd did. He does, however accept their deaths as a cost of doing business. This isn't a trait of Gus' per se, it's the trait of an asshole. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom: 12.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:15.75pt;vertical-align:baseline"><span>As for sandwiches and putting ice in whiskey, I would say Walter is just choosing to be more of a namby-pamby. For a man who takes his whiskey straight, adding ice would be sacrilege. I would say it's safe to assume that very few people decide to start eating sandwiches at his age without crust. So maybe your right, but I think it’s reaching. There’s more interesting connections in the show to focus on. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p> <p>

How can Walt kneeling on a towel in the bathroom be copying Gus? Walt wasn't even in Mexico when that happened. The scene between Walt and Lydia is very much like how Walt reacted with Gus when trying to first initialise a deal. The desparation and calmness of both individuals is re created except Walt isnt as cool as Gus was.

<p>Have to say, I thought it was all conincidental at first...but this weeks episode, when WW is vomiting, he places a towel under his knees after vomiting, and the manner in which he did so reminded me of Gus in 'Salud' when he induced vomiting in himself. The difference was that Gus placed the towel under his knees prior to vomiting. Tactictoe (talk) 19:16, August 14, 2013 (UTC) </p>

<p>I think I need to reword my comment... Walter doesnt copy the traits of his victims, but I think its an easter egg from the writers. </p>
