Holy Hot Damn.
Too many things about this episode were really, really good. I think what I like most about it is the constant pushing of cable tv taboos. Sure, on cable you can show whatever you like, but AMC seems to push the envelop further than most stations will go. Kudos to them.

I'm still waiting to see a little kid get murdered on-screen. That's a taboo that everyone is reticent to break. Wallace from The Wire was the closest I can think of but even with him the camera was focused on Bodie and Poot when the guns were fired.

I don't think you'll ever see that Reaper.
For one, some might argue it's more emotional for an offscreen death than on. But still BB and AMC are definitely toeing the line.

I think that was the first ever on screen handjob though.

Here is what one of my less intelligent friends has to say.
"I refuse to watch "Breaking Bad". He's selling meth and that's completely unacceptable. People are like "It's great drama/writing/acting!" I don't give a ****. That's like if they had a show about a guy who raped kids for money to save his family. I don't give a damn what the reason is, the action is unacceptable and not worth acknowledging. Meth is death." My response, "FWIW this is one of the stupidest reasons I've ever heard on why not to watch a show. You know there is another side of the story where there are people trying to get the drugs off the street. That would be like saying, "I won't watch The Wire because of the Heroin and Cocaine that they sell." There is so much other stuff in the show other than Meth." |

Lots of quality scenes in this episode.
Jesse and Walt have a beer. Jesse outraged by child exploitation or maybe just the need to avenge a friend. Walt seemingly without any moral center anymore, willing to rationalize. Of course, he has maybe seen the other possible outcome, re: Hank. The visit to Walt by Saul's PI. "No more half-measures." The "Come to Gus" meeting, where Jesse stood up to Gus. I thought Walt had a look of amazement on his face for Jesse's courage. Of course, later on the way back, he talked of 'consequences' and that sure came in a tragic hurry. And the finale scene. How many new windshields will Walt buy? How can he stay if Jesse runs?

FYI - Next week's finale will run 48 minutes with minimal interruption. Longer than normal and would be much longer with proper commercials.
Afterwards, a sneak peak at Rubicon which has me intrigued.
