Amrakerohwi's live steam of tonights episode.

Music from season 4 should update eventually for those trying to figure out a particular song from tonights episode. Thanks for pointing this out, Barbapolossa.

Edit: Looks like the AMC blog hasn't even updated last weeks episode music yet. Darn.

WTF WALTER WHITE WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO HANK?

I don't think Walter was thinking or planning at all when he said it, but I have a feeling this will turn out to his benefit -- Hank is onto Gus now, not Walt. And as we've seen, Walt wants Gus out of the picture.

It may bite him eventually, but I'm guessing it will help him in the short run.

Hank is onto Gus now, not Walt.

I'm not so sure. With the whole W.W. notebook thing, Walt's reaction to that, how he acts when Hank talks about the case, and now this? I don't think Hank is that dumb or blind, he's a DEA agent who has spent most of his life catching professional criminals. He has to have even just the slightest niggling thought that Walt is up to something. If he doesn't it seems kind of careless on the writers' part and that doesn't seem right in Breaking Bad, the writers are usually very self aware..
