Yeah, if anyone remembers what episode that was, I wouldn't mind re-watching :)
They flashbacked to the episode briefly. "W.W." was written in one of Gale's lab notebooks/journals...and then also in the Whitman book, which Hank hadn't seen.

I remember seeing the flashback (actually, I watched it a second time), but I was kinda wanting to watch that episode it showed again...

Ahh, so it was in his notebook then. Yeah, I remember now. Hank was asking Walt to look over Gabe's notebook on the lab and meth production.

The Onion wrote:'Breaking Bad' Creator Thinking Maybe Next Season Should Take Dark Turn

LOS ANGELES—Following last Sunday’s Breaking Bad midseason finale, creator and showrunner Vince Gilligan told reporters that in a departure from the “light, fun tone” that has characterized the program thus far, the concluding episodes may take more of a darker turn. “Ever since the very first episode, in which [main character] Walt is diagnosed with cancer and forced to sell meth to provide for his pregnant wife and cerebral-palsy-stricken son, I’ve thought that perhaps one day we could begin taking the show in a grittier direction,” said Gilligan, adding that while the program’s ongoing depiction of a man slowly succumbing to an illegal lifestyle defined by power, violence, and alienation was fine for four and a half seasons, he “wouldn’t mind” eventually exploring some grimmer themes. “I know our audience has gotten comfortable seeing Walt regularly kill drug dealers, endanger his family, and poison small children, but, personally, I think people would be interested in seeing a slightly more sinister side to the character.” Gilligan’s announcement comes just weeks after fellow AMC showrunner Matthew Weiner announced it was “entirely conceivable that the next season of Mad Men may touch on how men deal with marriage.”

:lol: What would count as more sinister? Walt the child rapist and genocidal meglomaniac? Walt the terrorist?

Walt killing Hank.
Granted, it isn't a drastic turn, but I didn't think about the idea until after reading that post.

Walt killing Hank, and killing zombified Hank afterwards.

Now that's dark.
