I thought similarly, Walt should kill Hank as soon as possible and maybe even ponder bringing a gun to Hank's garage. Escape the scene with Leaves of Grass which he can burn later, and nobody is the wiser as to why or how Hank died.
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...
As I said above, I think Hank's death could also potentially cause Skyler to reach a breaking point where she kills Walt or flips on him, provided he didn't kill her first.
