I have to say I'm disappointed with the way Hank found out who Walt was. Hank's discovery moment was the huge moment that the series had been building towards.

The "Legend of Heisenberg" should have been built to mythic proportions before Hank knew for sure it was Walt. They currently only know Heisenberg as a great chemist. They don't know all the killing/destruction he's been behind, such as his involvement in the deaths of Gus, Tuco and the orchestrated prison killings.

I was expecting an epic scene where they had a whole SWAT team assaulting a building, expecting the place to be rigged with explosives. Then they get to the lab, find someone nonchalantly whistling while they cook, pull off the gas mask and see Walt.

Instead what we get is a mostly random event. It had a symbolic connection with the Walt Whitman stuff, but there was no real plot significance of Hank or the book being in that bathroom.

I think it was the PERFECT way for him to find out. Let's be honest, Hank would never EVER find him cooking it, and Walter is too smart to make an obvious mistake that would lead Hank to him. This had to be the way, and it's perfect.

That honestly sounds like the worst idea to ever be thought of.

Since I'm rooting for Hank catching Walter, I'm very happy he found out. I just hope he doesn't give a huge tell by being too awkward at the rest of the brunch (causing Walter to find the book in the washroom and realize what happened). Then he and Gomez can investigate Walter in secret, with Walt being none the wiser.

Also, I think Hank knows that Heisenberg probably had something to do with the prison killings, what with his "chasing monsters" comment in the last episode.

He will realize all these things, along with many others once he puts everything together in his head, simply overwhelmed at the moment. Think of all the instances, the fugue state, the Marie hospitalized phone call, Poker money, off doing "work" while the whole Gus stuff goes down, and more and more
