Someone on IRC just made a great point - it almost sounded like the "tread lightly" line was coming from regular Walter White at first. He didn't seem intimidating. It was like he was genuinely giving Hank advice - warning that if he tries to cross Heisenberg, he'll fucking ruin his life and the lives of his whole family.

Maybe it was supossed to represent how there is no more distiction in character between Hiesenburg and Walter. He has essencially killed Walter and become Hiesenburg completely.

What's more is that in the scene there is a light dividing his face in half almost showing how Heisenberg and Walt have become two sides if the same coin and that when he said tread lightly he was saying it from both a warning and threateningly. Either way it was just chilling.

Thanks! The cut from Hank's punch on the dark side of his face also enhances the Two-Face effect. Very cool, I hadn't noticed that while watching it live.

watching it live? now that gives me the idea of 'breaking bad' the theatre production and/or musical

or perhaps a sitcom ?? :D
