5. Hank's Toilet Revelation - Breaking Bad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC4tAK231mw Many use a few minutes on the John for some much-needed time to think, but few have ever managed to piece something so monumental together as Hank Schrader did in the last 2012 episode of Breaking Bad. It's a small moment, a tiny error of carelessness on Walt's part that has apparently caused Hank to discern his identity; he sits in Hank's toilet, when he notices a book of poetry, takes a casual look at it, and realises that it's signed by "G.B." (that's Gale, the harmless guy worked with Walt prior to his untimely murder at the hands of Jesse), allowing him to piece together the puzzle that has been taunting him throughout the show's run - who is the genius drug baron known as Heisenberg? It's a brilliant, dramatically tense moment in its own right, but one that's underscored by comedy at all times, because Hank's sitting on the freaking toilet when he comes to this realisation. Whether he pulls his trousers back up and goes right on the offensive with Walt is the question that remains - and we can't wait to find out in a few months time.
