Yup. We know Walt was 50 when the show began and we know that it hadn't even been a full year yet of in-show time when season 5 began, and we learned in the opener that Walt was coming back from New Hampshire on his 52nd birthday.
Dramatic irony, baby. The audience knows that Walt will only have less than one year on top of ABQ's meth trade, less than a year of power. Walt doesn't know that, but we do.
