That's slightly better than rube's explanation.

Rube's explanation might have been a tad facetious.

White guys who fire lots of shots that don't hit Han & Chewie = Stormtroopers

White guys who fire lots of shots that don't hit Hank & Gomie = Todd & the neo-Nazis

My bad, makes sense. Actually, you would think that Walt would know that the van didn't have GPS. Even if he didn't check it Saul's guys should have.

Now that I think about it, it seems obvious that they were keeping him on the phone so he couldn't call anyone else.

I think Hank goes down in this shoot-out. In fact, I think that's why they cut it the way they did, so there's still the suspense of his situation for one more week. There's still lots to do with Hank gone. As a few have mentioned and I think I mentioned a season or two ago, Jesse and Walt is most likely the final confrontation. Which way it goes, and who's wants to do what to who is still open. But the the relationship of the dynamic duo is obviously the heart of the series.

The big reason I think this is because that call to Marie was a very 'last phone call' kinda moment. 'Good bye, I love you.'

Will also ever increase the myth of Heisenburg. Caught and cuffed and then gone again. Marie obviously would relay the information she heard when she finds out Hank is dead or missing. Now there's this guy out there that even the cops can't catch.

Having trouble cheering for Hank. He's going pretty far down the bad cop route. Course, Walt is pretty much threatening him, so I understand it. But yeah, he doesn't care for anyone or anything at this point other than tying up the case.

He's was pretty clever in this episode though.

Will be interesting to find out if Jesse or Hank recorded Walt's admission. I gotta imagine there's something to that.

Hank will die, and it won't kill the remaining story at all. Pretty obvious with the call to Marie. It would kill the insane build up entirely if some stalemate and subsequently a deal was made. No way at this point.

My prediction:

Those same guys just walked in gunned down a complete armed drug operation the week before without even a casualty and they can't hit two guys standing in the open with automatic weapons when they already had a minute to put them in their crosshairs during the standoff? Not only that but they shot first without warning. Come on man. That was 80's Rambo stuff there.

Hank died as soon as he phoned Marie.

Yeah the gun fight scene ruined the suspense after it turned into a John Woo movie.

If Call of Duty taught me anything is that the AA-12 automatic shotgun would have been out of ammo in 4 seconds, so it annoyed me they showed it firing for a very long time. At least they got the accuracy right!

First time Jesse called Walter White, Walt, instead of Mr. White.

Hank's phone call to Marie was eerily similar to Walt's call to Skyler after he blew up Gus and Hector in the nursing home. Just the tone of his voice and sense of relief.

I wonder now if Marie is responsible for the vandalism to the White house after learning of Hank's (possible) demise.

Pretty sure Gomie puts the keys to Walt's car into his own pocket so I don't think Jesse is escaping in that.

Not the first time, but there hasn't been very many. And it is significant when he does call him Walt or Walter.

Probably not the most popular opinion here but I hope that ingrate Jesse gets what's coming to him. Walt had a point that if it wasn't for him, Jesse would've been dead by now.

Hank should get his too. He can't let things go and he should go down with his obsession over Eisenberg.

Gomi, well, sucks to be him. Maybe in his next life, he'll pick better friends.

I hope they all die, right after Todd bones Lydia

I'm hoping Jesse gets it too. Same with Hank. Loved both characters, but as soon as they squared off against Walt, I wanted them to get killed off. Had Jesse never known Walt, he would have been murdered by Crazy 8 in the pilot.

Hitting human targets hiding behind big metal things down range is probably really difficult in real life. Add to that all the movement and adrenaline and it's probably even worse.

I shot handguns at rotten fruit one time in a gravel pit and I was shocked to learn I couldn't run laterally and empty the entire clip into a watermelon.
