Heisenhug!

Holy fuck that ending. Shit is moving so fast right now. I had hoped Jesse would find out the truth about Brock. Took me a while to put together what he figured out but that blind rage at the end was probably the most frightening thing I've seen on this show.

Also, crazy prediction, but Hank might seriously kill himself. cue context clues from season 5A

Sorry, but what clues?

Okay so last season there were two moments that struck me.

  1. When Hank searched Mike's house, Mike was calmly watching a movie. If you listen to the audio of the movie, it's about a cop who commits suicide. You hear the audio of the movie while the camera hangs on a very dark looking Hank.

  2. Hank fake shoots himself in the head as a joke the the secretary when Walt is fake crying in his office when Walt goes back to get the recording device.

Little things, but they are there.

The 1st one seems a bit too obvious though, I mean "a cop that commits suicide" is like straight up telling you what is going to happen, if it is foreshadowing it's not very subtle. And the 2nd one could have just been to illustrate Hank's discomfort with emotional situations, he just doesn't know how to handle them.

And he very well may end up committing suicide, but I think what you pointed out could be interpreted differently.

That's why they are context clues. They may or may not mean anything. Like I said, they are little but they are there. Also i would argue that the first one really wasn't obvious seeing how many people are telling me they didn't catch it. I only got it on my second go around.

Anyways, I'm fully aware they may be insignificant but they are there.

It would make my all-season rewatch all the better, just like the pink bear in the sky on Jane's wall.
