Jesse might not know about the callback, but Huell sure as hell does.

He gets recognized by his neighbor, in front of his house. Flash-forward Walt doesn't look much like Heisenberg.

Alternative theory: everyone thinks Walt is dead, and Walt is trying to keep it that way.

No need. He already risked her life by sending her over to check the house when the Cousins were there.

Hadn't thought of this, but it's a hell of a lot more plausible to me that Lydia takes action against Skyler than Walt does.

I think the show has taken pains to show Hank as being more procedural and rule-adherent than the rest of the DEA, especially the crew he worked with that got blown up by the turtle.

Back when the pilot was written, Hank was expected to be more of a stock cop character. I think we've seen quite a lot of Walt/Hank character development since then; Hank razzes Walt, but there's genuine respect between them. Or at least, there was.

Walt's not mewling—the whole point of Heisenberg and becoming a meth kingpin was to restore the dignity that he thought he had lost at the opening of the series. He's just asking, "what's the point?"

I don't think Walt went there to threaten Hank.

Oh, man. I was wondering why the ST reference was to TOS, and why it was Kirk, Spock, and Chekhov. Didn't make sense to me with Badger's character. The double entrendre with Chekhov's name is pure brilliance.

Gilligan's Star Trek movie: Jean-Luc Picard, facing forced retirement, grows a Mirror Mirror universe goatee and starts making dilithium crystal meth in the warp chamber.

Walt is playing for higher stakes than getting revenge for being hit. He put Jesse's gun to his head and told him to pull the trigger; I'm guessing he's happy being Hank's punching bag if that's what it takes to resolve the situation without being exposed.

Reminder: Schindler's List has been broadcast on network TV. Arguably the most violent thing ever on television, since much of its violence is nonfictional.

Eccleston's Doctor certainly implied that "he" was there for part of the Time War, so I don't think we can begin to precisely place Hurt yet.

Yeah, not buying this at all. When was "NO ONE *HUMAN* SHOULD TALK TO ME TODAY!"? Amy's second ep?

I think the premise here is that Clara *is* reborn a bazillion times dating back over 1,200 years of timeline, and never has a conscious idea of why she's there. Somewhat refuted by the TARDIS switch with the First Doctor, but that was a Crowning Moment of Awesome, so I'll forgive the plot flub.

Honestly, I thought the Jenny death was fixed way too fast. (And since she dies twice, well, she's the Rory.) Would have been much better to leave that as a dangling thread IMO.

The only time the quality bugged me was in the Fourth Doctor close-up; there's a 480p breakup of his image.

It's somewhat in the nature of the character that being thwarted "only" four times would be enough for him to hate the Doctor. But there are two or three other reasons that can be inferred:

Given the very large number of walkers out there, the same argument could be made for canned food and nonperishables. I'm assuming this is a zombie trope—food and guns are just in short supply, regardless of how much there is to start with.
