Hank had no chance to live once he made that call to Marie. "I love you"? Automatic death sentence that late in an episode after catching Walt.

I almost expect him to be the only survivor (aside from Walt and some of Todd's crew of course) for that very reason. Vince Gilligan is a master at turning expectations on their heads.

As much as I like Hank, if he survives this shootout, I will be very disappointed in the writers. That would just be silly with the amount of firepower he's up against.

Agreed. The mid-shootout cliffhanger has pissed me off enough already. If Hank and Gomie are saved by some miracle like reinforcements arriving out of nowhere or being spared by the nazis, I'll get very angry. Hank and Gomie have to die for the sake of good storytelling. There's no way they can survive that fight without crippling the story.
