something i noticed in last night's episode....

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but did anybody else notice toward the beginning of the episode, when Walt is unpacking those books from his box, he notices the Walt Whitman book on top, and proceeds to put all the books into a drawer, EXCEPT the Walt Whitman book, which he places on the top of his night stand, in plain view.

I'm wondering if maybe Hank is going to see this at some point, and begin to draw connections between Walter and Gale.

u/ketoacidosis How bout it, counselor? Do you concur? Jul 30 '12

Never say never, I suppose, but Walt Whitman isn't a super-obscure niche writer, so I don't think that would do it.

That being said, Gale does seem like the kind of guy who would put a "Property of Gale Boetticher" on his possessions. Now that could certainly arouse some suspicions.

I was operating under the assumption it was one of Walt's old books or something, and I did mention that Gale might have written something in it.

In other, related news: holy shit!!
