Apparently Jesse was supposed to die after just a couple of episodes in season 1 but they thought he was too great of a character to just throw away.

The original story for the 9th episode of Season 1 had Jesse dying. Thankfully that season was cut short to only 7 episodes because of the writer's strike. Vince Gilligan decided that the chemistry between Walter and Jesse was too good to ruin, and adjusted the storyline for the upcoming Season 2 to keep him around.

Also, Hector Salamanca (old guy with the bell on his wheelchair) was originally supposed to be the "main" bad guy in Seasons 3 and 4, but Giancarlo Esposito (actor who played Gustavo Fring) negotiated his contract status to full-time, so again Gilligan tweaked the story to make Fring the main antagonist to Walter.

FYI - this is "technically" the last season, but not really. The season is split in two. There will be 8 episodes in 2012, then a break, and finally the last 8 in 2013. I prefer to think of them as two separate seasons, just so I believe this isn't the last one...

Early season prediction with SPOILERS...

I think with Walt not giving a **** about leaving the Truck he either predicted that would happen (unlikely) or he is turning bat **** insane because the cancer is spreading to his brain. He will slowly turn more and more evil and crazy because the cancer is in his brain...

I think that was only to demonstrate that he is now in charge.
Also. I agree somewhat with the prediction earlier and I think I stated in another thread. Walt's son will die and it will be related to meth. Walt will have to die at the end. It is the only way for his character to be redeemed.
