From the Season 5 thread…

> Fring did have a video feed into the Super Lab. It’s entirely possible that authorities could discover video on his laptop’s hard-drive that incriminate Walt and Jesse.

Nice call!

Seemed to me they were keying into what was behind that photo of Gus and ???.  
An unfortunate side effect of the magnet is that they drew attention to whatever was in the locker.

> I think Gilligan is taking a big chance (and a brave one) by making Walt so cold and arrogant. He’s totally unsympathetic now – suggesting a “small incendiary device” in the evidence room, bullying Saul, treating Mike like a minion, and telling Skyler “I forgive you”. Ugh.

> He thinks he can’t lose. This is gonna be a great season.

There was really no sign of the old Walt…he’s fully transformed into Heisenberg.

I got a kick out of Mike’s desire to get as far away from Walt as possible…and that look in the rearview mirror. He did open that gate fairly easily, no?

Leaving a $100 tip isn’t too inconspicuous either 🙂
