    I thought when it is released on DVD it also pops up on Netflix.

    Think it'll be a bit down the road, think they don't want to kill their sales right off the bat. Might not be till the last half starts.

    2 months from this coming Tuesday.

    On IMDB, they have 3 episode titles out of the 8 remaining episodes:

    5.9: The Decision
    5.10: N/A
    5.11: N/A
    5.12: N/A
    5.13: N/A
    5.14: N/A
    5.15: Fifty-Two
    5.16: Crystal Clear

    So, that must mean that the first scene in episode 1 this season is somehow part of the 15th episode?

    8 episodes left, by which episode will Walt know that Hank knows?

    I was annoyed Hank discovered Walt by a contrivance (reading a book on the toilet), rather than by the brilliant detective work he has been known for the entire show. The viewer wants to see how Hank figures it out, and it's just dumb luck.

    I read the books, I know what will happen and I will spoil for everyone just like A Song Of Ice And Fire.


    Try and stop me.

    Never really thought of it this way or realized it, but having you say this, I actually agree. That was a really horrible reveal of Hank finding out compared to what they could have/should have done.

    Well we don't know yet if he actually knows its Walt. He just found a book with a note with some initials. I'm sure after that he'll suspect but never underestimate Heisenberg.

    what better way to find out about No-Mistakes-Super-Careful-Mastermind-Coveringhistracks Walt then through a trophy he likes to keep to feed his ego?

    The show set up the premise that Walt has undergone a complete Gus transformation, he doesn't make big mistakes. ....he is 10 steps ahead of everybody planning wise and on what is game because he will stoop to any level now.

    Having established all that and going 5 seasons with us looking at things from Walt's POV and perceiving Hank as always being in the dark we are finally able to see the reflection in the mirror and from someone else's perspective.
    It set up for great writing, you can't get bogged down on it that.

    Its been 5.5 seasons man, and that with Hank's character as being someone that never rules anyone out...he was onto Colonel Sanders way before everybody else even when they told him he was crazy. He isn't dumb enough to not know it is Walt.

    Here is what I think will happen:

    The show will start off with Hank playing it off, and us thinking he doesn't really know , and then the final shot of the episode showing him with convincing evidence of Walt.

    Respectfully disagree. It's the basis for MANY of the incidents that have taken place in the story. Remember Episode 1? WW puts a gun to his neck and pulls the trigger, only to realize that he messed up. If he did it correctly, that would've been the end right there. What about Hank getting sick and being out of harm's way of the exploding tortoise? There are a lot of things that are circumstantial, which is exactly how it is in real life.

    Besides, this "clue" is not something that Hank can even use as evidence. He now has to figure out how he's going to catch Walt.

    Never looked at it like that. I do agree with this and that's very true. Maybe that's the route they take, and that would set up a pretty interesting dynamic.

    Plus, I think it sets us a dramatic contrast against something that's been a tendency of WW over the past 5 seasons- his ability to pull off seemingly impossible capers through his scientific brilliance and overall intelligence. The train heist. Dissolving bodies so that there is no evidence of his killings. Having all 18 men in prison killed in 2 minutes. The Gus Fring explosion. It sets up the irony of ironies- that this supposed genius, who has pulled off incredible things, is done in by something as stupid as leaving a book out with Gale's initials in them.

    In the prequel movie they're making that shows the beginnings of Gray Matter, is it true Cranston got Muniz the role as a young Jessie in Walt's class or is that just a rumor?
