Hank turned off the camera, (presumably), and then Saul accidentally turned it back on, thinking that he was turning it off? So it recorded all of the audio of their conversation for the cops to listen to later?

If this really was the writers' intention, sharp observation on your part.

Hank turned the camera off before interviewing Jesse. Did Saul inadvertently turn it back on as he swung the camera away?

Yup! Hank (and the director) very deliberately turned the camera off and closed the LCD screen. Soon as the APD cops left the room, Saul reached over, turned the camera on (not knowing it was already off) and pointed it away from them.

On another line of thought, I think there will be a couple of episodes, maybe to the end, with Walt and Jesse going after each other. Jesse is on the war path and found his inner beast.

Saul inadvertantly switches the camera ON w/o so much as a beep and a bright LED indicating as much? If this is a legit plot twist, that begs for a 60% pure, meth-induced suspension of disbelief, or the video camera was the same brand Hello Kitty cell phone given/taken from Jesse @ Saul's office.

LED? Probably why the director made Saul turn the carmera away. There rest? It's TV...and about as real as a chemistry teacher evolving into a drug lord. :rolleyes:

Don't be so quick to rub your crystal ball. Life imitates art:

... and while he had not made the grade to drug lord before his arrest, there was a potential for much growth after high school. :)

Aren't we going to have a conversation about the last episode?

I'll start it off......"WOW!"

I just want to know who makes it out of that gun battle? We know Walt lives, what about Jesse?

I think Jesse makes it but what about Hank? Only 3 more episodes left, right?

Whether Hank lives or dies, how does the DEA not find out about the cash? If Hank lives, he can point them right to the spot; if he dies, don't you think Marie would have called the DEA when Hank doesn't show and tell them about the call from Hank, after which a massive search would ensue, unless it is too difficult to locate a cell call n the dessert?

If Hank and Gomez don't make it in the fire fight, Walt and his hommies will remove the cash barrels and dig another large hole before the DEA can react. Not sure about Pinkman. Several options for the writers.

Other options:
Hank and maybe Gomez are taken hostage; kept in the underground desert meth lab. until Walt/Heisenburg sort out his internal conflicts between family and survival.

Lydia rescues Walt in exchange for his lab acumen to make the product bluer.

Pinkman is taken as well, but then battles Todd to the death.

Hank manages to escape and blow up the meth lab trapping all those in the underground tomb. Walt obviously escapes (from the earlier flashback).

Pinkman survives and is placed under govt. witness protection.

Hank finds Walt and either kills him, arrests him or Walt dies trying to escape by falling into his old swimming pool. Looking upward with his last breath, a commercial airliner flies overhead.

Hank arrests Skylar and goes into the car wash business.

Gomez is promoted into Hank's former position.

None of the above. Gilligan and his writers will astound us again.

Two DEA agents with two glocks and a shotgun against 4 truck loads of rednecks with full auto Bushmasters? Unless DEA reinforcements show up right away Hank and Gomez will get the dirt nap.

Great perspective!

Somehow Walt will make them all disappear and recover from cancer. I just hope it isn't that goober Todd that ends up with all the cash.

Well, I know the production designer.
He bad. Beat up my set-dec buddy. On(a different) set.
: )

That's usually frowned upon in the workplace. Any more to the story? :cool:

Happened in Toronto many moons ago. Freeborn was the set decorator at the time.
It somehow involved Christmas tree lighting.
no repercussions.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Well. That escalated quickly.

Took my blood pressure awhile to come back to normal. That was intense!!
