Great stuff as usual. Pretty much 40 minutes of compelling television with a 3 minute pointless dinner discussion thrown in for old times sake. I have no idea how they intend on including so much content in only 7 episodes left, especially with Lydia and the Czech's still after Walt. They almost should have pushed the second half to another 12 episodes, but I am sure they know what they're doing.

Before the episode aired, I had this troubling feeling that they were going to pull a Deux Ex and kill off Hank in some kind of unceremonious way.. I was feeling about as sweaty and nauseous as Hank as he nearly off'd himself and Marie.
Jesse throwing around stacks of cash is going to bring some attention to himself pretty quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up on Lydia's list soon.
I thought it might have been a bit sloppy storytelling that the drywall in the house wasn't torn down, but I really don't know if that would be the case in, whatever happened to the White household leading in the first scene. It's actually a bit hard to tell what the ricin would be for. It seems obvious that by the present state of Walt's house that something has already befallen them, so there really isn't a need to kill off any witnesses who would testify against him. Maybe he's planning suicide?
Last line was delivered really brilliantly. Was half-expecting his woe-is-me Walter White shtick, but kind of veered off and went full Heisenberg instead.
I loved the symbolic shot of Walt and Jesse on the couch divided by the bags of money. Great episode.
The problem for Hank is that arresting Walt is pretty well going to ruin his life as well - his career is not going to survive Heisenberg being his brother-in-law all along. He's not thinking clearly, as evidenced by crashing the car. His whole worldview, where Walt was this inoffensive loser he felt comfortable patronizing, has gone into the literal crapper.
Yeah, he had to climb over it just to talk to Jesse, and in the end he just kinda gave up. Very symbolic.
Solid premiere. We know that when it comes to Walt saving his own skin, he will do anything. Whether it's letting Jane die, having Jesse kill Gale, poisoning an innocent child or ordering a mass hit on the people that were in a position to testify against him, he just seems to have no limits. I'll assume that Walt leaves Hank's garage, which can only end in Walt eventually killing Hank. The question is, will Hank underestimate Walt the way that everyone else has, or does he realize just how dangerous he is?

I really doubt that. Ricin takes between 3-5 days to kill someone after ingestion. If Walt was playing on killing himself, I doubt he would opt to do it painfully through a slow acting poison.

I think if there's anyone that won't underestimate Walt it's Hank.
Hank seems to be a fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me kind of guy.
I think Hank will handle Walt like Heisenberg, who Hank thinks is an evil genius and unbelievably dangerous.
Hank gave Walt one out, and Walt didn't take it.

Flash forward Walt scaring neighbor Carol was a good chuckle.
I'm not sure I know what you mean about Hank giving Walt an out. But I do agree he takes him very seriously. I just don't know if it will be enough.
I can't really see Hank being the 'hero' of the series. He may be part of Walt's downfall, getting him to the place where we've seen the flash forwards, but I think he's a dead man, heh.
