That's how I took it. I don't think he offered that as an out.

Hank has everything to lose and Walt has nothing to lose if you believe that he has terminal cancer.
Hank basically ruins his family's life with the possibility of himself going to jail/being disgraced all so that in the final 6 months of Walter's life he gets a taste of justice? That's where the uneasy truce will rest.

Well we know that eventually Walt is found out so obviously Hank tells someone. I just wonder how we get there.

Obviously? Other people know that Walt is Heisenburg.

It seems a bit of a stretch for Walt to search out the book when he was in the bathroom. I mean, yes once Walt found that the book missing, sure the connection is evident.... But to seek out the book for no real apparent reason looks a bit contrived just to move the story in the right direction. I just think Walt could have been tipped off to Hank having the book in a more thoughtful way.

He was looking for it cause he wanted to read it while he was getting sick. He originally went to the washroom to get sick from the chemo treatment, not to look for the book. After he drove the porcelain bus for a few moments he decided to open it up while he calmed down and make sure he was feeling ok. When it wasn't in it's usual place he started looking around for it. Same as anyone looks for anything.

It's actually a bigger stretch to think that Walt would search his car for a bug out on a whim and then find one.
Goes to show how the tight story-telling style of the series tricks the viewer into thinking that very coincidental events are infact woven into the causal narrative that the show projects.

There is a definite positive to the pop culture aspect of a show that's partially eliminated when it's on an all at once service like Netflix. I prefer to be able to watch it all at once too, but I totally get VFF's point.

I get your point, VFF, and I agree, but here's how Netflix has helped BB immensely,

Netflix is great in that it makes good shows more popular through giving easy access to old episodes.
I know I wouldn't have watched Community or Breaking Bad without Netflix and those are now my two favorite shows ever.

If Netflix way of releasing shows gets really popular, all the fun of the build up is gone. All the fun of chatting about the characters is gone. All the guesses of what's going to happen next is gone. Netflix ensures the public will never be on the same page in terms of where they are in the course of the show.

Well I think by that point he was starting to suspect Hank was avoiding him. There was that scene talking to Skyler in bed about him. He had already shown some musing reactions to Hank's behavior.
Maybe a bit flimbsy, but I wouldn't say 'a whim'.

Just because "Arrested Development" was released all at once doesn't mean every show has to be. Netflix could certainly release on a schedule, although since you don't have advertisers, building up buzz week by week isn't as important.

Wonder if Walt's car was bugged before or after he went to see Jesse. Was a very good season opener, hour flew by, unreal.

They are a monthly subscription service, so stretching out the release is definitely an advantage to them.
But they've done three shows now (or more?) in lump chunks, I don't see them changing.

He also would have driven to Saul's office to pick up the cash, so that's another place Hank could connect him to.

oh my god you guys, that just happened.
Killer episode, the stare down between Walt and Hank was ah-maz-ing. Hank was great in that moment, you could feel his hatred, his betrayal. When you're going toe-to-toe with Bryan Cranston and living up to him as an actor you know you're doing something right.
The opening scene with Walt saying Hi to his neighbour was hilarious. Can't wait to see how this all unfolds.
Vanflamesfan, I totally get what you're saying, and I agree with it... but man I wish I had 7 more hours of Breaking Bad to watch right now.
