5. Walt Jr. Does Just Fine Without His Father's Money

Come the end of Breaking Bad, Walt Jr. had the devastating discovery of just what kind of man - or monster - the person he called dad really was. Although he'd often had an up and down relationship with both of his parents, the full realisation of his father's actions severed any remaining ties.

Unbeknownst to Walt Jr., he has a huge inheritance coming his way (so long as the Schwartzs keep their word, and the terror in the eyes says they would). However, would he really want his father's money, knowing just what happened in order to get it? From the way 'Junior' reacts during the series, I rather doubt it.

Instead he'll be keen to make his own way in life, and get into college on the back of a scholarship. He'll go back to using the name Flynn, and be one of those dark and mysterious types on campus; not popular, but liked well enough. He writes the heartbreaking poetry of a tortured soul. Breakfast remains his favourite meal of the day.
