And I'm not sold on Walt calling for Gale's execution yet keeping the inscription in the book right on his toilet where, undoubtedly, he's not only thumbed through it several times in the ensuing months since Gale's death but also most likely re-read the inscription. He's not a serial killer. He wouldn't keep a trophy of his victims. The Say My Name Walt would've torn the page out and sent it swirling.
A lot of people have been saying Walt would never realistically leave the book sitting around, but I don't know if that's true. Walt has become pretty meticulous and badass, that's true, but he has also had a lot of close calls, fuck ups, and stupid errors throughout the five seasons of the show. And besides, sometimes smart criminals are caught because they make some slight oversight or dumb error. In this case, it may have just been bad luck. In working for Gus early on, Gale may have given Walt the book, and perhaps Walt just never looked at the inscription. Do we REALLY know that he's opened it up and read it? I, for one, don't read on the pot, even though there is reading material nearby. Also, maybe Walt had the book in some drawer and Skylar put it back behind the toilet just b/c it's light poetry reading and it makes sense to have it there to flip through while taking a dump. I thought last night's episode was phenomenal. Regardless of some other possible plot holes, some of the scenes were the best scenes I've seen in a TV show.
