They arranged to have 10 of Mike's guys killed in multiple prisons across the country within a 2 minute window. That would require a national syndicate with 100s or 1000s of members (and their families).

i simply pointed out that getting right back to work after having $70m dumped in your lap is surprising to me, for anyone. lotto winner, etc. not to mention, they just recently took over the meth business, have issues with quality and certainly it's fair to say they are not raking in the dough. and i'm not alone in noticing that.

I think that's more a function of shallow character development. We know almost nothing about Todd's uncle 'away from work.' For all we know they went out and partied like rockstars... but we are only seeing them at work on screen.

nevertheless, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment re: where this thread is/was going. again, the show is ambigous, that is my point. athe show is open-ended often times, uses flash-backs and future scenes mixed together with scenes left out.

Being less ambiguous would have required 100 more episodes. A whole one on Jr finding out about Walt, another entire episode showing just the shootout and aftermath with nothing else.... the sort of inner dialogue narration that works in books much better than on screen. Breaking bad on TV is like Game of Thrones on TV.... compared to the book it's a hollow shell of itself. I'd love to see a 30,000 page 5-8 book set for breaking bad with much more depth the way Martin has written for GoT... but we just haven't gotten that lucky ;)
