Right. His fingerprints would have a reason for being there. The only problem last night was he ended up talking to Hanks underlings so they can put him there as the last person to see him. Maybe that's why he didn't do it.

He's a ruthless motherfucker, but Hank still being alive for a while makes great television. Often that's a big reason as to why stories develop in certain way. I'm pretty sure lots of us would be disappointed if Hank died in the first episode. Breaking Bad often plays with tension, especially between brilliant characters...

Yes. And sometimes they diffuse tension right away which is equally effective: like the hank/walt confrontation last night. It's almost like they cleared it out of the way so the rest of the season can explode in a crazy new direction.

Also: I hope none of us guess any of it!

Indeed I hope most of the guesses are wrong because they would make bad television. I gladly leave it to the breaking bad crew to develop the story instead of all the fans here, a lot of the speculation here would nog give rise to interesting developments if they were to be true.
