SpoilerDue to my affliction, I clicked your spoiler and red the first sentence before I came to my senses and decided to watch the show first... But holy shit. After reading that, I was expecting Hank to be injured severely on camera, but thanks to the magic of TV, this is much less predictable. I'm guessing, though, that Hank probably isn't going to die. At least, not in this situation... My guess is that he will be there the end, or close to it.

Ha, I did the EXACT same thing. Read "Hank is most likely dead" and went "AGH I bettevr watch the episode now." I loved the whole phone call between Walt and Jesse, and everything from there on. So tense. Agh. Oh man. Part of me hopes that Hank does die, just because I really hope he doesn't, if that makes sense.
This show constantly surprises me, but at the same time there's always been this sort of safety net where none of the main characters can really die. Like even the last scene, as crazy intense as it was, every shot fired conveniently missed. I donno. The situation that's unfolding now, though, I feel like someone has to die, but really, it's useless trying to predict where this show is going to go, since I'm rarely right about it.
