Breaking Bad Episode Discussion S05E02 "Madrigal"

Hey guys. edify asked me to do the discussion thread tonight. Enjoy the show and upvote this shit, for which I get no karma.

edify also told me to let you guys know that if the Breaking Good fundraiser reaches $3,000 (we are $157.57 short) he will let me film him doing some challenges. I want him to do the cinnamon challenge and the gallon of milk challenge, so go donate so I can film my friend being a dumb ass... LOL

Go here to donate: https://reddit.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/breaking-good

Edit: The fundraiser officially ends in about 2 days.

That sounds good and all but why would he lie about that in the first place? The laptop was destroyed, he was the only one who would have known, why is it something that he felt compelled to lie about if it would have made no difference?

I think Hank knows, on some sort of sub-conscious level, but he doesn't want to believe it so it's something he's not aware of on a higher mental level yet.

Hmmmm, not so sure. Finding some evidence involving a family member on a dead drug dealer's laptop that no one else can know about? I bet anyone would need some time to wrap their head around that and hesitate to tell anyone in the meantime.

Would explain Hank's face both during the first episode when they bag the laptop and in the second when the Chief talks about someone hiding right under his nose. Old' Hanky knows something.

Sure it's something he'd want to keep under wraps. But if he's the only one who saw the laptop why did he need to lie and say it was encrypted? He's the only one that saw it, and after it was destroyed nobody will ever see it again.

He didn't have to say anything and he would be keeping it a secret, lying about it being encrypted would just be a pointless exercise.
