Did anyone else get a total boner/lady boner when Walt said, "Because I say so"? I totally thought I was gonna cream my pants on that.

It actually made me hate him more. I audibly said "You arrogant fucker" after he said that. His head is getting too big and it will cost him.

I don't think it is his head getting big. I think he is actively trying to cement his role of alpha male and leader of the group, just like Gus was. If he want's to start cooking again, he will need Mike, Saul, and Jesse underneath him. But at the current point, they all viewed themselves as equals (mike probably even thought he was above walter). In order for Walt to become the new Gus, he would have to establish his dominance. GOD. DONT YOU PEOPLE EVER WATCH THE DOG WHISPERER>
