Doesn't mean it was a good idea, though. Stupid Shane.
I like to think that with a show that is as well produced as this, that all details have a point and are intentionally shown to the audience, I mean aside from some of the gore and violence. Similar to Breaking Bad, I would like to think that the dialogue and scenes are not just time fillers, again I mean aside from Walt Jrs breakfast scenes.

Anyhoo, I think if they focused on him cutting his hand with the bloodied knife, it was for a reason.
