Of course, I'm typing this on the fly and not really thinking that hard about it, so I'm sure there will be other considerations and problems for him to figure out. Great series.
I think Hank is a natural lawman, not an administrator. I think that is why he was having all those issues this season, since he is used to actually being a detective and sniffing out leads. Remember how grumpy he was when he couldn't work? Something just came to me as well but I am not sure where I'm going with it. Hank was obsessed with those minerals when he was bedridden...most of them having crystalline structures, or am I wrong? That seems like some sort of foreshadowing. Or maybe it just tied in with his relentless pursuit of the meth kingpin.
