Aaron Paul better get nominated for the Emmy for best actor. Hell, at this point, he better win it. Cranston's been great, but Paul's been spectacular.
The improvement from the beginning of season 1 to now from him as an actor has been huge.

I so agree w/ all the Jesse love right now. He's definitely taking over the show, I even found myself a little disappointed he wasn't in the previews
much.
Those meth parents were just goddamn awful, but boy did they have such a cute kid despite all the dirt and crap all over him. I really loved Jesse's arc in this episode, it shows what a kind soul he actually has. I loved it when he was outside rehearsing his lines and up comes the mail carrier. Then the first person he sees is this helpless hungry child and he goes and fixes him something to eat. It just shows how kind Jesse's soul really is. OTOH, Walt continues to just digress. He's becoming more of an asshole with each episode. Bitter, resentful, lying, and selfish, he's just become a jerk. That whole exchange with Gretchen was tense. I felt bad for her after that whole ordeal. Great episode. |

Although I agree with many points, I really don't understand why meth-head couple didn't just kill Jessie once they got the upper hand. That part didn't ring true to me. I mean, we'd already been shown that they killed the store owner, so it's not like that was outside their moral threshold. That part just didn't fit for me. Oh, and I thought that kid was uber-freaky. Sweet, and sympathetic, yes. But still creepy. Lord of the Flies creepy.
The acting still remains superb, though. The actress who plays Skylar does great, too. You could see the "wait a minute!" look on her face as soon as she remembered the BMW. |

I think the meth heads didn't kill him because he was knocked out, simple as that. The store owner was killed because he probably tried to stop them, Jesse
was not oding anything so meth head logic said he was not a threat

They were more concerned with getting high, then once they were high they started fighting and forgot all about him. People on drugs aren't exactly
rational.

Ok, I guess I can live with that explanation. ;-)
Man, if this show isn't the best example of why kids shouldn't do drugs, I don't know what is. This episode really should be shown on school campuses. The bleakness was heavy. |

A Danger to Myself & Others

Wow, you guys another GREAT episode. I totally agree with what everyone said about everything about this last episode, and count me in on the Walt hate train,
I have actually been kinda over him and hating him since the season began..so I am glad others have those feelings about him too.
I did think it was awesome that during his lunch with that chick, he just finished everything with a "Fuck you" <3 So perfect. That was basically what that bitch needed to hear from him at that moment. Omg, the tweakers were hilarious and disturbing and spot on in every way about those types. And the last 5 minz or so, after Jessie called the police and started to go back for the sweet lil ginger baby, I was like "TAKE HIM WITH YOU" "SAVE HIM JESSIE" And than I started crying from the minute he snatched him up to the after the credits were finished. lol This is the best show on television right now and I feel bad for people who don't know about it, they are seriously missing out. |

Yup, Walt is pretty much detestable at this point, but, I'm still completely enraptured in his storyline....Cranston does an amazing job of making him so
detestable, but at the same time so interesting.

Did it seem to anyone else that the hot principal was coming on to Walt? If so, I definitely hope that goes somewhere.

Excellent episode!! Aaron Paul is definitely stealing the show right now, but Cranston is doing a wonderful job with Walt's character, as well. Jesse
practicing with the gun on the porch.
The scenes he had with the meth-heads were unsettling, but <3 his interactions with the little ginger boy.
Jesse has heart, and they are giving us more & more glimpses of it as we go along.
but omg, the "I ain't no skank" & ATM "squish"...so wacky!! lol And then when he was wiping his fingerprints off of it and the door popped open and money came shooting out

Well, ya don't see that everyday. Tortuga's head being on the tortoise was bad enough, then having it explode was just icing on the what-the-fuck cake.
Still, that was absolutely epic. Hank trying to fit in with the El-Paso DEA reminds me of high school, it was a humbling as well as humiliating experience for
him. Good stuff.
Really good episode, Walt's 'Blowfish' speech was pure brilliance from the writers. Amazing analogy. Things are gonna go into the shitter soon again, the episode ended with Walt/Jessie on top of the world almost, and we all know that won't last. At all. I'm expecting major collateral damage within the next two episodes. Badger or one of the other dealers will probably wind up dead. Curious to see what happens with the Skyler/Ted arc, I smell an affair in the future as Skyler grows further and further away from Walt. |

Mine too. At this point, I don't think I've ever enjoyed and liked a show so much. I'd go as far as to call it the best I've ever seen.
I forgot to mention in my earlier post, I loved the opening sequence with the fake music video.
"Don't bullshit a bullshitter." Truer words have never been spoken. |
