Jesus.....I can't believe I haven't put this guy on my ignore list until now. Too bad people endlessly quote him though.Costanza said:
You have no soul. You clearly don't appreciate just how great this show is. The suspense of Walt possibly telling Jessie that he let Jane had me on the edge of my seat. So did a few other parts of the episode.Costanza said:

How the fuck can anyone compare this shit to Pine Barrens? That episode was actually funny.
This episode gave me what i've been wanting for awhile. Jesse / walter interacting, and it dedicated a entire 46 minutes to it. Wow. I think this might end up being one of my favorite BB episode on re-watches.
Also figures costanza would hate it, dude has shitty taste.

Two inept characters stuck together trying to do something. Pine Barrens was definitely funnier, but Pine Barrens probably would have been better if they cut out all the Meadow/Jackie Jr./Gloria bullshit - so Breaking Bad did that one thing better.akachan ningen said:
christ, cant believe im siding with Costanza.
this ep was a mix between some great and some really bad. some seriously bad dialog at the beginning, some really drawn out scenes. some great plot points and character development.
different director for this ep or no?
dunno. didnt love it though. easily low point of the season.

Yeah, Brick is brilliant, my favorite movie of 2005. And it's on Netflix!UrbanRats said:

It's awesome that he put it on right before Walt hit him with the fly swatterwoodchuck said:

Huge Rian Johnson fan. Loved this episode. Seemed to finally have a bit of closure over the events of last season between Jesse and Walt. And goddamn, how close was Walt to spilling his guts about Jane? :lol
Also loved that Walt knew exactly what was going on with the missing product. He's not an idiot. ^_^
Edit: Reading some of the backposts, you guys are mean! :lol

I enjoyed this episode, but I thought Brick was pretty much awful, the type of movie that's not nearly as good as it thinks it is.
Of course :lol
How can anyone be a "huge" Rian Johnson fan when his career basically consists of two movies and this episode. That's not exactly a deep body of work. That's like being a "huge Richard Kelly fan" because you liked Donnie Darko.
And Rian Johnson is not exactly a youngster, he's just a couple years younger than accomplished
directors like Darren Aronofsky, Wes Anderson, and PT Anderson.
Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, etc.

It's a great career so far. Let's just say I anticipate what he does next greatly. ^_^xbhaskarx said:
The directing wouldn't have struck me as odd compared to other episodes.
Maybe the fly getting around was a bit artsy, but the views from inside various spinning or cooking devices is commonplace on Breaking Bad now.
Aside from that the views of Jesse and Walt from various angles effectively captured their conversation.
I guess the director did the best he could with the space he had to work with. My favorite shots are those long desert ones. I also liked the table meeting between Walt and Gus, anything involving a hallway (very Coen-ish).
I really liked this one in which the camera tracks Walt coming into the room all the way until he sits down, and it transitions so seamlessly to him talking to Skyler. Can't remember the episode, but it was really cool.

Best episode since the one when the camper broke down. Loved the well needed Walt/Jesse episode. Walt discussing his death and the "ideal" time was perfect. He's not delusional. He knows now that everything he does is for more than just "helping his family" or being a "final breadwinner." It's about the money, it's about ego, it's about being the best at something.

Just popping in to say HOLY FUCK @ One Minute. And a extra "fuck you buddy" to Cajole for making that gif lmao. It's what convinced me to start watching the show, so it was spoiled. But still, that was the most tense scene of television I've seen in a long fucking time. The entire episode seemed to be building up to Hank's death, which put some doubt into my mind on whether the gif was actually the last scene.
Ok, heading back out now. Couple more episodes and I'll be caught up

I liked this episode of Breaking Bad but I don't see the comparison either. As I recall, the Pine Barrens episode was pretty much a humorous episode throughout while this Breaking Bad episode was far, far more serious. Yeah, there was some slapstick and such during the first half but it still worked along with the lines of Walt breaking down. And those last minutes, with Walt seemingly on the verge of telling Jesse about Jane, was damn tense I'd say.

To me that came off as an impulsive way for Walt to test himself to see how he'd react, how he felt about it all. It was like he almost didn't realize what he was doing himself. Now he's come to terms with how he feels about it but still -- like the fly in that last episode, I suppose -- he's a survivor that goes on while leaving chaos in his footsteps.

Absolutely amazing episode. I am absolutely baffled that anyone could not like that. It was possibly my favorite episode of Breaking Bad ever. Gripping performances every step of the way, and perfect camera work. Breaking Bad is on a level no other series is touching right now. WOW.
EDIT: People are saying it's OK to skip Fly? Are you guys insane? We couldn't have been watching the same episode.

Initially this episode wasn't working for me. I found the execution to be a bit heavy handed and some of the imagery distracting, but by the end it all came together and i was immensely satisfied. Not even close to the best episode of the show, not by a long shot, but it was still great (as usual) and i think it will improve a lot when i rewatch it.
Walt's admissions of guilt and his deliberation over what would've been the best moment for his death got me all choked up. ;_; Cranston acted the fucking hell out of this material. Aaron Paul did as well. It was so nice to have an episode solely focused on Jesse and Walt's interactions again.
The ladder scene was superb too. The crew on this show are masterful at creating intensity out of the simplest things.
