I think he won't do anything, he doesn't want to destroy his family for the sake of pride. That's what Walt would do.

Exactly.  Walt can paper over everything with lies because all Hank has is suspicions. Especially since he doesn't want to believe that Walt is a meth cook.

I'll put my dollar on Hank letting Walter go.  Here's why:

Walt. doesn't even care about the money.  If he did care about the money he would have taken the $5 million.  What he cares about is pride.  He can't stand other unworthy people being above him.  He'd do it all for free as long as he was on top.

I think one of the problems I have with this show is a problem in a lot of narrative arts: categorization.

I liked it ok, but the music is AWFUL.  It's all sweepy and cinematic.  I feel like I'm about to learn Jodi Foster's dad is an alien.

I wonder if it would have been better if they had played the suicide card from a 3rd person perspective.  House did this (to poor effect) but I like the idea.  They could have just alluded to the fact that someone knew something was up with Lane and he had a weird meeting with someone and was acting kinda weird (and

What would have been shittier was if he didn't offer it to her.  He allowed her to choose.  The only thing more sexist than prostitution is making it illegal.

Agreed.  Joan is not a Vestal Virgin.  She's been training herself for a long time to succeed based on her beauty and femininity. I've no doubt that Joan has used sex to get ahead before.  What she didn't know was that she would win not by ending up as the kept woman of a rich ad exec, but as a partner in a successful

I hope, and am certain, that the show is not going to spend time showing how wrecked and tragic Joan becomes because she did this thing.  I don't think Joan regrets it at all, and she shouldn't.  As shitty as it was, Joan won.

She played the game right.  She was going to marry a rich man and it was going to go exactly how it should have.  Peggy was, for a while, her
