Fans of the AMC series Breaking Bad have applauded it for its brilliant use of foreshadowing ... and they are correct.
It got me thinking: What events in the show so far may turn out to have been foreshadowing for quirky plot twists in the final episode? Without further delay, here are my Top 6 guesses.
6. Lydia sprains her ankle.
Foreshadowing: Many lengthy scenes of Lydia walking in high heels over questionable surfaces such as dirt and gravel.
5. Huell opens a Fat Camp.
Foreshadowing: Huell has been locked away under police protection for several weeks. If he has good "Before" photos of himself, he has a lucrative new business opportunity on his hands.
4. Jesse Pinkman becomes a Franciscan.
Foreshadowing: Throwing millions of dollars out of his car window for the poor to glean.
3. Marie murders Skyler.
Foreshadowing: Marie can't get to Walt, so she'll take revenge on Skyler. Let's be honest; Marie has been weaving in and out of sanity for the entire series.
2. Saul Goodman forms a psychedelic band.
Foreshadowing: The drive to wear garish clothing is coded deep in Saul's DNA. Identity change program notwithstanding, white shirts are not going to cut it for Saul.
1. Gretchen and Elliott get their comeuppance.
Foreshadowing: Let's face it - We've been carefully groomed to hate this slimy couple from the very beginning. It's time for them to face the music.
