hate to be a downer with 7 weeks left, but man life is going to be tough without this show.

I had this problem after Lost then Breaking Bad came around.

All will be fine at some point if we let the healing begin.

Also pretty impressed they jumped into the final confrontation so quickly-- and yes, when the garage door came down-- that was some serious fucking tension. Absolutely gave me chills.

I think it speaks to where Walt is mentally these days that, upon realizing that he is being directly investigated by his DEA brother-in-law, he just marches on over there with the GPS tracker in his pocket. No pacing or scheming or hand-wringing or lying. He all but admitted his identity and yet admitted nothing; he made ominous threats, yet overtly threatened nothing. He's pretty much ice cold.

What's interesting is, looking back on the relatively sunnier days for the White family, I can see shades of this maniac, even in the semi-harmless scenes. Remember when he flexed on those bullies in the mall for ridiculing his son? Warranted, maybe, but no less an indicator of what he was holding back.

For sure which makes me wonder if Walt was inherently good or bad. Im not sure I get the "oh, its just a man down on his luck that chose the wrong path to deal with it all". I think he is just an evil bastard at his core and if it weren't the cancer etc.. it would have been any number of things.

Good observations. Great episode.

I loved the scene where Hank is going all A Beautiful Mind and trying to piece everything together. Then, his facial expression as he looks at the Heisenberg sketch.

I think he knew it but he was building a case. one just can't jump at an unsub without solid evidence for prosecuting!

Could just be setting something up - Jesse's obviouisly scared of Walt now, and that obvious lie could be something that pushes jesse to the edge where he feels the only way to escape his past etc - is to take Walt out. Those two have always had a tense dynamic

hank has to build a case, because wouldnt the WW book not be admissible n court since it was not obtained via search warrant, and it still is a he said/she said case?
also you have to wonder why hank never took notice og the sketch of heisenberg before?
