Three episodes, each one better than the last. This one was outstanding. For once a plan of Walts works. Genius idea. Aaron Paul has become a phenomenal actor.
Going after Mike is going to be a huge mistake. How much longer does Skylar last?
I don't think the show can get any better, and them it does.

Just because you shoot Jesse James, doesn't make you Jesse James.

Great episode. I'm still really interested in Skylar, especially considering the opening scene of this season's first episode. Walt seemed far removed from his family at that point. I'm wondering how long his "return home" lasts.

Just because you shoot Jesse James, doesn't make you Jesse James. Definitely the central quote for this episode. Loved it. |

I think this week's episode is one of my personal favorites. Truly masterful.

The imagery was fantastic. The loose thread on Walt's hat. The color blue; both his watch and the pool. Someone else pointed out how when she went into the pool, it was symbolic of her being completely immersed in Walt's poison. The end of the show with the watch ticking, the final tick absolutely sounded like a gun being cocked.
What's Hank gonna do? He got his new job because his old boss was fired for allowing a drug kingpin to operate right under his nose. What's he gonna when he connects the dots? And by the way, I hope that happens soon.
The scene with Skyler reminded me of Tony and Carmela, their famous fight scene. Her delivery of the the cancer line was epic. Most would have paused in the middle, she said the whole line at once. What a sucker punch. I even reacted.
Cranston has added such a creepiness to Walt, it's impressive. All the bad guys I've watched: Swearingen, Omar, Tony, Vic Mackey, I was always pulling for them, even though they were all straight up murderers. I'm rooting against Walt. I don't remember ever having done that before. Vince Gilligan is truly exploring new waters here.
Only four left. Can't wait.

So much to happen in 12 more episodes. One year of time has gone by in the series so far. One more year will go by in the final 12 episodes (at least). I'm really interested in how they are going to pull this off. Something big has to happen soon. (the suspense is so well done)
I'm thinking of a couple possibilities. One, at the end of these 8 episodes there is a major turning point and significant time passes between the end of these 8 episodes and the final 8 episodes. The final season begins with Walt's 52nd bday.
Or two, Walt's 52nd bday is the last day of the show (or of this mini-season?). But then how do they deal with the passing of so much time? I think the first option must be what will happen (or something similar).

What a sucker punch. I even reacted. This was probably most impressive for me in this episode--the tension, drama, suspense going on with Skyler and Walt. So well done. I was completely drawn into it. |

At this point I know not to doubt the writers. But I was still disappointed in the cold open. I kept watching all episode for a character with a spider, thinking whoever had it would be dumped dead.
And then...bam. Then you realize what a great open it was, making the shooting that much more of a gut punch.
What an episode. Skyler's right, the kids (any kids) aren't safe around Walt.

Can you explain the Todd/Landry/FNL/serial killer jokes to me? thanks In season 2 of FNL Landry kills someone. Worst few episodes of the series. He saves his girlfriend from getting raped by hitting a guy over the head with a bat (actually, some other metal bar i think). They freak out and get rid of the body, etc. His dad is a policeman and helps cover it up. |

The train robbery was pretty great. When it was first mentioned in the episode I thought that might be over the top, but it was done well, and quite intense.

I'm disappointed they're not going to touch Hank catching on until next year
Great episode. Dinner scene was of course fantastic. Heard this elsewhere, but the song Walt was whistling was Lilly of the Valley, by Queen. Good thing Jesse doesn't listen to classic rock.
Walt is so incompetent at running an empire, it's hilarious. He really thought they were free and clear after blowing up Gus. Mike being followed by the DEA threw him completely for a loop. I'm guessing these new partners are going to be the reason he's buying an M60 a year from now.
Only two episodes left.
