Ozymandias Easter eggs and symbolism (spoilers)

Ozymandias was one of the greatest hours of television. Incredible writing, acting, directing and cinematography. It was also chock full of symbolism and Easter eggs. Some I got.....others I'm still trying to work out.
-The pants in the desert was a great nod to everyone who has been there since the start. So much has happened since then.
-The fireman playing chess after the brillant call to Skylar. Added bonus...the king is being moved.
-Walt's fetal position cry after Hank is shot mimics Gus' after his associate is shot
-Marie wearing black for the entire episode
-Todd is again wearing the green jacket Walt seems to be wearing in the flash forward
-The nod to Walt's pizza toss in the opening conversation with Skylar.
-Jack's line "there's no scenario where this guy lives"
-Walt insisting that Jack call Hank by his name
-Hank wanting to be known by his real name....not his nickname
Two I'm still trying to figure out
-The shot of two birds circling when Jesse is about to be executed (symbolic of Jesse/Walt or Jesse/Jane?)
-The stray dog crossing the street (reference to Jesse's "putting a dog down" speech in AA?)
Others?

Something small I noticed, Jack snapping his fingers to break Walt out of his trance after Hank died. He did the same thing when they were planning the prison murders.

Stray Dog. No family, roaming aimlessly, possibly rabid.

Doesn't he say " My name is ASAC Schrader..."
ASAC as in Assistant Special Agent in Charge.

The White Supremacists are the muscle behind Walter WHITE.

This is stupid.
On an unrelated note, Hank had a hankering for justice.

In the episode thread, someone posted a screen cap of when Walt is looking at the side of his ride after it breaks down in the desert. You can see Walt's reflection in the side of the car, and the bullet hole that went through to the gas tank is positioned directly on his forehead in the reflection. Could be some foreshadowing to how he dies.

That screen shot is very interesting and goes to show the detail put into every shot.
First screen cap is Pre-Heisenberg. It's blue on white and everything is bright and cheery. (she's wrapping up a clown for goodness sake). No oranges in the scene. (The Godfather symbolism for death)
Next screen cap is post-Heisenberg. Room is darker. Outfit is mostly white with blue accents.(in essence, the opposite of what she was wearing before; symbolic that she is now the complete opposite of who she was before) An orange is now seen in the fruit bowl.
Last screen cap. Room is incredibly dark. You can't even make out Skylar's portrait in the back. Just a black blot. Only oranges can now be seen in the fruit bowl.

Moira Walley-Beckett has written some of the best episodes of the series: End Times, Gliding Over All and Ozymandias.

This is why I saw these shows are art and not just entertainment.

I had never heard the term "ASAC" before and thought I heard Isaac. I also had never heard Hank called anything but "Hank" and thought his Christian name was being revealed. Oh well....there goes that theory

How about hank and Gomez getting the same burial as joe Pesci's character in casino

I re watched the flash forward scene at Denny's in "live free or die"
Walts new identity is "Mr. Lambert"
Marie's maiden name is.......Lambert
Coincidence?????
