You people are treating this TV Show like LeBron James. It's stunningly amazing, but because you've hyped each episode up so much in your minds, nothing is good enough. There was nothing hackneyed about that episode. If you're building to a climax you need conflict, and Walt isn't the tactical genius he's made out to be. He's far more Forrest Gump running his ass off whilst dodging every bullet in Indochina than he is Gary Kasparov.

You thought Fight Club was about fighting, didn't you?

You can fill a prescription for pure methamphetamine at any pharmacy. It's called Desoxyn. Walt isn't some kind of meth wizard; any number of pharmaceutical grade factories can churn out product just as pure. Despite the breathless descriptions of his cooking, it really is just following a recipe within a controlled laboratory environment. Why would anyone think that this show doesn't, and hasn't, taken extreme dramatic licenses already? Yeah, it made little sense that a bunch of mechanics would miss from that distance, but it's far from the least likely occurrence on the show. Do you think someone is going to be able to fire an AA-12 with any accuracy from that distance? They needed a cliffhanger, and since Danny Glover wasn't in the desert with a smoke grenade in his pocket to great a diversion for Riggs, they went with the next best alternative: inaccuracy at a standoff distance while being shot at.

Here's an example where a chemist (and the show's scientific adviser) talks about Walt's choice of disincorporation agent:
Despite its impressive resume as a tough solution, it wouldn’t have been the best option to dissolve a body. Typically, flesh is dissolved with a base, most commonly sodium hydroxide (lye), generally used in the disposal of road kill. This option would have been a lot safer to use to dissolve Emilio, too. Lye is a common clog remover in drains, so Jesse’s bathtub stunt would not have been so disastrous. It also would have been safer because the fumes are not nearly so toxic. Most household uses of hydrofluoric acid are diluted to 3 percent hydrofluoric acid in H2O, in order to make them safe for use. Sure, Jesse was wearing his mask when he began the reaction, but the fumes would have infiltrated the house, and would have damaged most exposed surfaces inside, by the time the acid had eaten through the tub.

Paid for Hank's rehab. Of course, he had a role in Hank needing the rehab in the first place, but let's not get picky. |

Sunday's episode reminded me of an inverted ROTJ. Luke implored Vader that he saw good in him, even when Vader didn't see it in himself. Jesse was convinced that Walt had no good in him whatsoever, but Walt calling off the hit because of Hank, and pleading with Jack to stand down, shows, that despite all his numerous flaws, there is still a vestige of humanity within Walt.
That doesn't make him a salvageable person, but it's not a Schwartz/White situation.

Did anyone notice Marie was wearing black during the phone call? Weird. She normally wears purple.

With the recent questions regarding mercury fulminate and body dissolving, etc. some need to watch the Mythbusters Breaking Bad episode.
Spoiler!
