Honestly I thought last night's episode was a little boring... but I'm sure it will pick up again. Looking forward to shit hitting the fan for Walter.
I thought Walter's 'tread lightly' threat toward Frank was a little weak. It reminded me of a drummed-down version of a Game of Thrones scene where Tyrion tells Joffery something along the lines of "You say I'm a monster so be careful because monsters are dangerous and just now kings are dying like flies."
Not even dude... not even.
Sure, Tyrion's wording was more clever, as his lines tend to be. But from a writing standpoint, the placement and timing of Walter's threat was
way more brilliant than Tyrion's. Tyrion throws overt threats at Joffrey all the time, and even hits him. But Walter never went out of character in front of Hank. This was his first mob boss display to hank, and it was so brilliantly subtle and veiled that it could have been perceived as a regular Walter comment if misread. The subtlety, timing, and demeanour of Walter's thing just blows Tyrion's out of the water, I don't even know how you can compare them.
