He's not worried about getting caught because he believes he is smarter than they are. He's enjoying the chase as much as the power. He wanted to keep that going.
Not about lack of intelligence at all in my mind.
I think it's one of the great dynamics of the series actually.
Regardless of whether he gets a thrill from this, his actions would not be considered intelligent for somebody wanting to hold onto whatever power he has. Playing cat and mouse with Hank isn't smart. I am not sure how you can disagree with that. The smart thing for him to do would be to stop throwing bones to Hank given that there is already enough clues that a reasonable case could be made against Walt.
so many people say "well cartel is gone!" - what?!
Don Eladio (spelling?) and his group was small fraction of the cartel. The cartel is huuuge. Someone like Gus cannot even imagine taking on the entire cartel. so, lets refrain from saying "cartel is gone", while we discuss the show. If anything, cartel may play a bigger role in season 5

Never thought of Walt as dumb, I think like others said he likes the chase and feeling powerful
He comes up with these great plans that sometimes work brilliantly and other times blow up (or fail to blow up) but most of his mistakes are due to his ego/pride i.e. getting Hank back on the trail

The issue is that you're slamming the show for Walt's dumb actions. I'm simply providing an alternative motivation.

Pretty sure the Chilean angle will play out in season 5.
Holy crap July 15th! I had no idea it was so soon!

Saw the thread was bumped and hoped to come in here and find that I had read July 15th by mistake and that it was actually starting June 15th.
But, alas, it is not so.

just finished watching season 4, loved it. would like to pick up a couple breaking bad shirts, other than online, do you know of a place in calgary that sells them? Thanks
I'm still not thrilled about them splitting up the final season into two shortened seasons.
I'm sure it will be good, but I would have preferred just one regular season, especially if they end up going another year long wait between seasons. It's too cruel.
