"Fly" was a filler episode with little character development. Nothing about it was entertaining, unexpected, or thought-provoking. They basically wasted 40 minutes acknowledging something that we already knew about Walt. It added nothing to the show.

There are lots of fans of Breaking Bad who love the cool action moments in the show more than the slow burn character psychology. God love 'em, they keep the show on the air. Of course season 4 is going to appeal more to that sector of the fanbase. I can see where you're coming from, is what I'm saying, though I won't be swayed to that side.

Can't say I care much about "cool action moments," nor do I think you are right to define Season 4 in that way. Gus, for example, was perhaps the most fascinating character in this entire series. The examination into his character's psychology was one of the things that made the most recent season as good as it was.
